First, there are many cities named after the emperor's year, but there are only two prefecture-level cities.
Named after the year of Emperor, it began in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and rose in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Jian 'ou City, Fujian Province, was originally Jian 'an County, and was named after the year number "Jian 'an" of Emperor Liu Xie. Guangwu Town, jieshou city, on the northwest border of Anhui Province, is named after Guangwu, and it is the only township in China named after the year of the emperor. In the Tang Dynasty, more cities were named after year numbers. Zhide County, Anhui Province was named Zhide because it came from Hengli, Tang Suzong, and Baoying County, Jiangsu Province was named Baoying because it came from Liyu, Tang Daizong, which means "it should be true to seize treasure" and so on. In the Song Dynasty, the name of Xingguo County in Jiangxi Province came from the second half of Taiping Xingguo. Jiading District, Shanghai, Jiading is the year number of Song Ningzong. There are also many named after the emperor's year number. According to a statistic, there were 14 cases in Tang Dynasty, 17 cases in Song Dynasty and none in Yuan Dynasty. In Ming and Qing dynasties, we should avoid the taboo of the year number, and we should not use the year number to name it. In addition, there are some cities whose names look like the emperor's year, such as Yongjia in Zhejiang, Guangde in Anhui, Taikang in Henan, Xianning in Hubei, Jingtai in Gansu and Yongchang, but they have nothing to do with the emperor's year.

Throughout the cities named after the emperor's year number, most of them are counties or towns and municipal districts, but there are only two prefecture-level cities, one is Jingdezhen in Jiangxi and the other is Shaoxing in Zhejiang.
Second, Jingdezhen, which is famous at home and abroad.
Jingdezhen, a famous porcelain capital, has always been under the jurisdiction of Fuliang County in history. Jingdezhen in ancient times was called Changnan Town. Since ancient times, the floating beam has been called "Wang Xian", and its county level is five. As we all know, the general county level is seven. Therefore, the political status of the floating beam is still relatively high. Why is the quality of county department higher than that of ordinary counties? This stems from the splendid local ceramic culture and tea culture. In ancient times, the main items of international trade were porcelain, tea and silk, while floating beams were exclusive. During the Tang Dynasty, Fuliang produced seven million packets of tea every year, and paid 150,000 yuan in taxes, accounting for three-eighths of the tea tax of the imperial court at that time. However, it is porcelain that makes this city famous. In the Tang dynasty, the ceramics made by floating beams were exquisite and unique, and they were called fake jade. China's English name (China) is a transliteration of "ChangNan".
Jingdezhen
Song Zhenzong loves porcelain produced in Changnan Town, Fuliang County. Because the year number used at that time was Jingdezhen, it was given to this city, and Changnan Town was renamed Jingdezhen. Since then, Jingdezhen's name has become famous all over the world. In the constant foreign trade, Jingdezhen is also famous at home and abroad. In the later Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the imperial court set up an official "Imperial Ware Factory" or "Imperial Kiln Porcelain Factory" in Jingdezhen, which pushed the porcelain industry in Jingdezhen to another height.

Third, Shaoxing has a profound cultural heritage.
Jiangnan Zeguo is rich in natural products and profound in cultural heritage. Among many cities in the south of the Yangtze River, Shaoxing cannot be ignored. Shaoxing was called Yue in ancient times, Huiji (county) after Qin Dynasty and Yuezhou after Tang Dynasty. In A.D. 1 13 1 year, Zhao Gou was forced by nomadic people to flee to Yuezhou, which is now Shaoxing. It is said that Zhao Gou was in a good mood at that time, thinking that Jiangshan would be recovered, so he had the saying that "Shaoxing is the only place that can be revived" and renamed it Shaoxing, and Yuezhou became Shaoxing City. Since then, Shaoxing, as the name of Guyue Prefecture, has been in use ever since.

Shaoxing has thousands of years of history and culture. Historically, Shaoxing has produced many celebrities, such as Gou Jian, Wang Yun, and so on. , but also trained a number of masters, such as Wang Xizhi, Lu Xun, Cai Yuanpei. Some people say that Shaoxing's historical and cultural heritage actually exceeds that of Hangzhou and Suzhou, although this view remains to be discussed. But just to feel the wine culture, sauce culture, food culture, tea culture and so on that pervades the whole city, we can't help but look at it with new eyes.
