Lianyungang enjoys a superior geographical position. It borders the Yellow Sea in the east, the Central Plains in the west, Qilu in the north and Jianghuai in the south. The city covers an area of 7,400 square kilometers, including four counties (Ganyu, Guanyun and Guannan in the East China Sea) and three districts (Xinpu, Haizhou and Li Anyun)! Population 4.6 million! The urban area is 4 15 square kilometers and the population is 800,000! It is a standard medium-sized city!
Lianyungang has a very long history. As early as "Historical Records" recorded the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, it was written in Lianyungang. At that time, Lianyungang was called Yushan. According to legend, the Yao Shunyu soup of the ancient three emperors and five emperors flooded in the later period of Shun's rule, and Shun let Gun govern the Yellow River! The gun water control that has been blocked for 9 years has no effect! Finally, in Yushan, that is, Lianyungang, he was executed by Shun.
Then use the son of the cannon, Dayu, to finally control the water! But after the death of the gun, the enthusiasm for water control never died, and blood flowed into the land, forming the famous Yushan Hot Spring in the East China Sea!
Later, after Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States, Qin Shihuang unified China in 220 BC. He divided China into 36 counties according to Reese's suggestion, and Lianyungang is called Donghai County here. Qin Shihuang traveled eastward to come here in the late period of his rule. Xu Fu, a famous local alchemist, said that there are three fairy mountains (Penglai Abbot and Yingzhou) in the sea. There are immortals on the mountain, and immortals have fairy medicine, which can be eaten forever! Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fuju's warrior and 3,000 boys and girls across the sea to find the elixir. Today, he finally came to Japan and never came back!
During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei of Xuzhou once reorganized his military forces here in Lianyungang, and he made a comeback with the support of local salt merchant Mi Fang!
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, because of the imminent war, Lianyungang was close to the sea and had convenient transportation. Therefore, the Northern Wei Dynasty hoarded materials on a large scale here, sent military forces to station, and built a city by the sea! Because it is close to the seaside, the capital of the sea city named after it!
Only in the 50th year of Kangxi (A.D. 1668) did an earthquake happen-the biggest disaster in the history of China came to Lianyungang, and the magnitude of the Tancheng earthquake reached 8.5! It made the battlements, warehouses, official houses and village temples of the whole ancient city of Haizhou fall to the ground for a while, and there was no place for Fiona Fang in a hundred miles. More importantly! Due to the earthquake, the plate was squeezed, and the geological landscape here in Lianyungang has undergone tremendous changes! The sea has regressed by 40 kilometers! This is the reason why Lianyungang city is not close to the sea!
Knowing that we have entered the period of new-democratic revolution, the Revolution of 1911 led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen overthrew the rule of the Qing government and vigorously developed national industries in China. 1933 building a wharf has become a top priority. Because the location of the dock at that time was very good! Backed by the picturesque Yuntai Mountain 167 km! Opposite is an island with folded wings like a screen! The port is between the mountains and the island! So take the word mountain island each! "Lian" of Liandao and "Yun" of Yuntai Mountain! The port is in the center. Let's call it Lianyungang! Later, the name of the city was named after the pier, and it has been called today!
