Legend has it that Guangzhou was built by five immortals who rode down on five-colored sheep and saved the city from famine. This is why Guangzhou is also known as the "City of Sheep". The earliest inhabitants of the area date back to 214 B.C., when Emperor Qin Shi Huang sent his army south to capture the South China Sea.
Because Guangzhou is fortunately located at the northern end of the Pearl River, the city has been China's most important southern port since ancient times. During the Tang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.), it was the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, an important sea route that carried silk and other goods to the West. It was a trading post for the Portuguese in the 16th century and for the British in the 17th.
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1911, Guangzhou became a base for the **** and the Party. Sun Yat-sen (1866-1925), the first president of the Republic of China was born in the village of Cuiheng. In the early 1920s, he led the Kuomintang (KMT) in organizing a movement in Guangzhou against the northern warlords. Guangzhou was also the center of activity for the budding ****anist party, and Mao Zedong, as well as other ****anist leaders, used it as a base of operations during 1925/1926.
After the liberation, Guangzhou (the larger region) focused all its energies on economic development. Even when China cut off contact with other countries, the Canton Fair remained the only meeting for China to do business with the West. Today, Guangzhou is still an important center for imports and exports.
The city of Guangzhou has a long history, recorded in the history of the Zhou Dynasty, when it was known as "Chu Ting". During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan, the Great Emperor of Wu, first coined the name "Guangzhou". During the Tang Dynasty, as the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, it was already one of the most prosperous cities in the south. Even in the closed Qing Dynasty, it was the only commercial port in the country, holding the lifeblood of the country's foreign trade. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Guangzhou gradually developed into the country's third largest city, the center of South China, the core city of the Pearl River Basin culture, known as the southern gate of China.
Guangzhou is known as the City of Five Rams. According to legend, during the Zhou Dynasty, Guangzhou was plagued by a great disaster and the people were not happy. Heaven sent down five immortals to visit the city on five immortal sheep, which carried five-colored rice ears in their mouths. After the miraculous ears of rice saved the people, the immortals returned to heaven, but the five immortal sheep wished to stay on earth to continue to bless and protect the local people. The people later honored the immortal sheep with a statue of them, which is now the Five Sheep sculpture in Yuexiu Park, and the mascot of the 16th Asian Games held in Guangzhou in 2010 was designed based on the legend of the Five Sheep.
