Why does Linchuan have the title of "hometown of talents"? Thank you for your questions.
Linchuan, the hometown of talents in China, is "far away from rivers and lakes, and the ancient smoke is close to Sichuan". Fuzhou was Linchuan County in ancient times. In the eighth year of Yongyuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 96), Linru County, later Linchuan County, was established. In 237 AD, Linchuan County was established, and the county was located in Linru County. In the ninth year of Emperor Wendi of the Sui Dynasty (AD 589), Chen disappeared and the whole country was unified. Yang, the prefect of the county, was ordered to appease Linchuan County and change Linchuan County to Fuzhou. Throughout history, the administrative divisions of Linchuan in ancient times are equivalent to most of Fuzhou now, including Luling, Zhang Yu and Oumin. There is wuyue in the east, Xiaoxiang in the west, Fujian and Guangdong in the south, and rivers and lakes in the north, spanning Wu Yuechu. In ancient times, it was the hub of Fujian and Guangdong coastal areas. Here, the atmosphere is different. The mountains and rivers are Ling Bing, the Lynch Valley is beautiful, and the water is around Sichuan. The land is fertile, the climate is mild, the mountains and rivers are magnificent, the folk customs are thick, hardworking and rich, the transportation is convenient, and businessmen often come and go. Jingchu and Wuyue cultures meet here, and Central Plains and Fujian and Guangdong cultures nourish them. Beautiful scenery, developed agriculture, long history, rich cultural accumulation and superior geographical location have given birth to splendid Linchuan culture. Since Wei and Jin Dynasties, especially after Song Dynasty, Linchuan ancient county on both sides of Fuhe River has been known as "the land of talents and the state of culture". "Shui Ye Zhu Hua, shining Linchuan's pen". This is Wang Bo, one of the four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty, who praised Linchuan culture in Preface to Wang Tengting. Linchuan culture is profound and profound, with profound connotation and far-reaching influence. Linchuan has a prosperous style of writing since ancient times, and talented people come forth in large numbers. As early as the Tang Dynasty, Wang Bo, a famous scholar, expressed his heartfelt admiration for "following Zhu Hua's Linchuan pen" in his masterpiece Preface to Wang Tengting, and "Linchuan pen" became synonymous with "Linchuan gifted scholar". In the Song Dynasty, due to the brilliant imperial examination, Dong Zhenyu, a famous scholar, called it "the hometown of talents" (see Waiting for the Shark Record). By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, with the widespread spread of the folk song "Jin Linchuan gifted scholar" in eastern Jiangxi, this "hometown of talented people" was renamed "hometown of gifted scholars". For a long time, Linchuan people are proud of it and deeply praised it. They have always regarded it as a spiritual force to encourage, spur and forge ahead.
