Thousand-year history of commercial port
Water traffic connects the river with the sea.
Wenzhou is located in the southeast, with a river leading to the sea and a golden coastline of 355 kilometers. There are both river ports and bay ports, and the waterway transportation is convenient. As early as the Warring States period, Wenzhou had already formed the rudiment of the port. In the Tang Dynasty, Wenzhou was not only connected with Fuzhou, Chuzhou and Taizhou by land and water, but also with Japan and Silla by sea. Monks and businessmen between China and Japan often transit Wenzhou. In the ninth year of the Tang Dynasty (774), when Jian Zhen was preparing to cross Japan for the fourth time, he planned to cross the sea from Yangzhou to Wenzhou and then to Fuzhou by boat.
The earliest written record of direct flights between Wenzhou and Japan was in the Tang Huichang period. According to the Japanese biography of Hui Yun of Anxiang Hand Temple, in the second year of Tang Huichang (842), it took a sea merchant three months to build a big ship from Nanmu and set out from Valkyrie Island (namely Hirado Island) in Japan. After six days' voyage, it arrived in Wenzhou. The History of Sino-Japanese Traffic by Miyawuyan, Japan.
During the seventy years from the fourth year of Kaicheng (839) to the fourth year of Tianyou (907), Wenzhou was one of the ditch ports where Chinese and Japanese merchant ships entered and stopped. Both Yuan Zhen and Hui Yun, famous Japanese monks, went to the Tang Dynasty to seek dharma by merchant ships, and went to Tiantai Mountain and Wutai Mountain for pilgrimage after passing through Wenzhou.
The water traffic in Wenzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty showed a busy scene of shuttle traffic. Chen Fuliang, a representative of Yongjia School, described it as follows: "Jiangcheng is like the Crystal Palace, with a hundred Guangdong, three Wu and one Wei Tong". In the Yuan Dynasty, the port facilities in Wenzhou became more and more perfect. At the north gate of the city, a "large stone dike stretching over thousands of feet" was built along the river. There are two kinds of docks: the waiting pavilion and the merchant ship.
For official ships and Chinese and foreign merchant ships to park separately. Seagoing ships can reach many ports in West Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia, such as Korea, Japan and Japan. On February 20th, the second year of Yuan Zhen (1296), Zhou Daguan, a native of Wenzhou, set sail from Wenzhou for Zhenla (present-day Cambodia) and wrote a record of the local customs and customs of Zhenla, describing his experiences during his one-year stay.
