Historical Records. Lu Zhonglian's biography: Chu attacked Nanyang and Wei attacked Pinglu ... thinking that it did little harm to Nanyang. In Mencius. Xia ",Mencius said:" If you use it without teaching the people, it will be harmful to the people, and the world of Yao and Shun will not allow it. Although there is Nanyang, it is impossible to defeat Qi. " It can be seen that during the Warring States period, Nanyang existed today and had an important strategic position. Both Chu and Lu want to fight for it. According to this calculation, Nanyang has a history of at least 2200 years. From Qin, Han, Jin to Sui and Tang Dynasties, Nanyang was located in the north and Liu Pei was located in the south, with relatively low terrain. It has been called Peize since ancient times. Sihe River runs through the whole territory from north to south, and floods often occur in Nanyang. In addition, the war once led to the desolation of Nanyang. There is no historical record of Nanyang in this historical stage. Until the seventh year of Tang Wude (624), the canal in Shandong Province was from west to east, leading Siwen Ershui to Jining, and then divided into north and south, flowing south to Surabaya, passing Nanyang, Xuzhou and reaching Jianghuai in the south. By the Song Dynasty, Nanyang had become a big village on the bank of Surabaya. In A.D. 1278, Wen Tianxiang wrote Yutai, which passed through Nanyang Town and was called the Temple of Sijiao Town. In the 19th year of Yuan Dynasty (1282), when Jeju River opened, Nanyang Gate was built. After the opening of the North-South Grand Canal in the 30th year of Yuan Dynasty (1293), Nanyang became an important commercial port along the canal. In the second year of Yuan Dynasty (133 1), Nanyang Gate was rebuilt on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which coincided with the ancient Surabaya. From then on, Nanyang became famous. By the middle of Ming Dynasty, Nanyang had become one of the four famous towns along the ancient canal (Xiazhen, Zhenjiang and Yangzhou), and its name can be seen in the inscription of Zhengjue Temple rebuilt in the 29th year of Jiajing (1550). Nanyang town changed from land to an island in the lake in the early Qing Dynasty. For decades, Nanyang, a prosperous canal pier and market town, has been constantly attacked and threatened by the north-south countercurrent, sometimes besieged and sometimes submerged, forcing the local terrain to improve continuously to avoid sinking. Nanyang Town is finally at the junction of Zhaoyang Lake, dushan lake Lake and Nanyang Lake, surrounded by water, with relics on both sides of the canal, taking the wide canal river as the "street", showing her unique natural landscape.
