Look at historical China, come to Yuci Old Town, it's worth visiting Yuci

Look at historical China, come to Yuci Old Town, it's worth visiting Yuci, with nearly 3000 years of city-building history; In the Spring and Autumn period, it was called Tushui, Weiyu, and Zhongdu, and in the Warring States period, it was renamed Yuci; The existing old city was built in the second year of the Kaihuang era of the Sui Dynasty (582 AD) on the site of the old Han city. The story of "Wei Jiang and Rong" in the Spring and Autumn period happened in the Yuci area. It was the first time in Chinese history that a dispute was resolved peacefully, becoming a landmark of China's "peace culture". Important figures such as Zhao State minister Lin Xiangru, Later Han Emperor Liu Zhiyuan, Song Dynasty prime minister Kou Zhun, and Ming Dynasty honest official Chu Fu were all born in Yuci. Yuci has a superior geographical location and has long been known as the "dry dock". It has always been a hub for north-south distribution and a gathering place for merchants. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Chang family of Chewang who opened the Tea Road, and the Wang family of Niedian who had banks all over the country, together with merchants from Qixian, Taigu, and Pingyao, created the world-renowned miracle of Jin merchants. The existing Chang Family Manor is known as "China's No. 1 Confucian Merchant Family", making Yuci an important birthplace of Jin merchant culture. Due to historical reasons, many buildings in the old city gradually disappeared. In 2000, Geng Yanbo was transferred to Yuci, Jinzhong City, to initiate the restoration of the old city. After the restoration, the city has many historical and cultural attractions such as the City God Temple, County Office, Confucian Temple, Fengming Academy, North and South Streets, City Tower, Sifeng Tower, Qingxu Pavilion, Dasheng Temple, and West Garden, with more than 50 films and TV dramas filmed here.
