Introduce the history of Yangzhou

Yangzhou, called Guangling, Jiangdu and Weiyang in ancient times, can be traced back to 486 BC. Yangzhou has a long history, splendid culture, prosperous business and outstanding people. Located in the middle of Jiangsu Province, at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, it is a city closely connected with Nanjing metropolitan area and the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, and the water source of the East Route Project of South-to-North Water Transfer. Known as "Huai Zuo Du Ming, Zhu Xi Jia Chu"; It is also known as the first city of China Canal and the first batch of famous historical and cultural cities in China.

In the history of China, due to its unique geographical location and superior natural environment, Yangzhou almost experienced historical prosperity from Han Dynasty to Qing Dynasty, accompanied by cultural prosperity. Specifically, Yangzhou has three economic peaks, the first being the middle of the Western Han Dynasty. The second time was from Sui and Tang Dynasties to Zhao and Song Dynasties. The third time was in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Generally speaking, the prosperity of Yangzhou always coincides with the prosperity of the whole country. During the Sui, Tang, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Yangzhou was highly concentrated in wealth and capital. It was the largest financial center in China and even East Asia, and its prosperity was no less than that of London and Hong Kong in the world today.
