Speaking of ancient cities, we often think of Beijing, Xi, Nanjing and other places, but Shangqiu seems strange to us. It is also an ancient city with thousands of years of history.
Shangqiu, located in Henan Province, has become a "city on water" because it is surrounded by water. Shangqiu is a national fourth-class scenic spot with more than 3,000 scenic spots. Tang Wang destroyed the summer and established the Shang Dynasty, which was originally located in Nanbo. In Shangqiu, Wang Hai pioneered China's commercial trade and Taoist culture, and Shangqiu was also the product of Taoist culture. Archaeologists once discovered the site of Laonanguan in Shangqiu, which was later called the old city of Song State.
Shangqiu is known as "the source of three businessmen and the capital of Chinese businessmen". The hometown of Wang Hai, the first merchant in ancient times, is here. He was the seventh king of Shang Dynasty. He used to trade with ox carts, which made the Shang Dynasty stronger. There are many places of interest and culture in Shang Dynasty, such as fire culture, where the inventor of artificial fire in China was born, and Shangqiu was also named as the "Fire Culture Capital of China", and the well-known story of Mulan also came from here.
Shangqiu, with so many famous places of interest, is always forgotten by the world. One of the important reasons is that Shangqiu is not developed enough. Perhaps the government did not develop Shangqiu's scenic spots and historical sites, and did not turn it into a tourist city to attract the attention of the world. The propaganda is far from enough, resulting in so many ancient buildings and celebrities in Shangqiu that no one knows.
There are few colleges and universities in Shangqiu. We know that where there are many universities and talents, it will drive the development of local industries.
