📜 The allusion is super exciting: the thousand-year-old river and lake where Huang Nest opened the way!
The reason why this place is so popular is all thanks to the Yellow Nest Uprising Army of the Tang Dynasty! In 878 AD, the rebel army cut out the "Xianxia Ancient Road" in Xianxia Ridge in order to attack Fujian. The 28th Capital became a must-pass military fortress, and many people stationed their troops here to rest ~🛡️ In the Northern Song Dynasty, the "city map system" was implemented, and there were 44 cities in the county. This is just the 28th one. The name "28 capitals" has been called for more than 900 years, which sounds like a sense of history!
It was even more exaggerated during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became a hub of trade. The four noble families of Cao, Yang, Jiang and Jin were super rich. The streets were densely packed with shops. 💰
