This established Guangzhou's status as a central city in Lingnan. The two feudal dynasties of the Southern Han and Nanming also established their capitals here.
In the fifth year of Wu Huangwu's reign in the Three Kingdoms (AD 226), Sun Quan of the Wu State established another Guangzhou in the eastern part of Jiaozhou, that is, the division of Jiaozhou and Guangzhou. The name of Guangzhou comes from the word "Guang" of Guangxin, the original governor of Jiaozhou. The governor moved to Panyu, from which Guangzhou got its name.

Lu Dai was appointed as the assassin of Guangzhou. Soon Jiao-Guang was reunited, and in the seventh year of Emperor Jing's Yong'an reign (AD 264), Jiao-Guang was divided again and became a custom. After the division of Jiao and Guangzhou, the state government was moved from the original Guangxin (today's Wuzhou) to Panyu. The name of Guangzhou was taken from the word "Guang" in Guangxin. Guangzhou got its name from this.

Guangzhou people grow flowers. We have a long history of loving flowers, admiring flowers and giving flowers as gifts.

The front and back of the house, and the halls and rooms were all filled with flowers. people. In the Han Dynasty, Guangzhou, with the rise of trade on the Maritime Silk Road, introduced various flowers from overseas. In the Tang Dynasty, Guangzhou's flowers became famous throughout the country. The famous poet Meng Jiao once described the wonders of Guangzhou with flowers and plants everywhere in winter: "The flowers in the sea are wild. There is grass in the winter, and there are no homes and no gardens.” During this period, the cultivation of foreign flowers such as jasmine, henna, and frangipani was very common, and a flower trading market began to appear. At that time, the flower girls in Guangzhou used colorful ropes. Various flowers are put on sale, attracting Chinese and foreign tourists. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Guangzhou had formed the "Spring Festival Flower Market" which was the first in China and well-known at home and abroad. Three days before New Year's Eve every year, a flower market forms in front of the Fanshu (now in front of the Beijing Road Finance Office) in the center of Guangzhou.

·Guangzhou Food·
It is an indisputable fact that soup-making is a patent of the Cantonese people. It has a lot to do with its humid and hot regional climate. Its spread to the north is due to the popularity of Cantonese cuisine. I remember that going to a Cantonese restaurant to drink the daily soup was considered a symbol of fashion. When friends met, they changed the word "have you eaten" to "have you drank it today" ', it feels weird. Even though Cantonese cuisine is going from bad to worse, Laohuo Liangtang’s popularity is rising instead of falling. Fashion is one thing, but the actual effect of the soup is probably the most critical. The nourishing state of Lao Huo Liang Soup is directly proportional to the soup ingredients and climate. In this season when sandstorms are raging and the moisture in the air is almost dried up, you should choose "Stewed Pork Lungs with Dried Vegetables", "Stewed Pork Ribs with Snow Fungus and Papaya", "Stewed Pork Lungs with Dried Vegetables", "Stewed Pork Ribs with Snow Fungus and Papaya", and "Stewed Pork Lungs with Dried Vegetables" to moisten the lungs, quench thirst, and replenish both qi and blood. Stew red meat; if your body is full of fire, you can try soups with sweet and cool properties, such as "Stewed Chicken with Chicken Bones and Grass Bones", "Stewed Chicken Bones with Cold Melon and Red Beans"; if your body has excessive coldness, you should Choose some hot soups, such as "Stewed Duck with Fresh Ginseng", "Stewed Squab with Cordyceps", etc. However, remember that Cordyceps, ginseng, American ginseng, etc. are not suitable for soup in summer, even in autumn and winter. These nourishing and aphrodisiac soups should also be used with caution, especially for the elderly and children. If purely from the perspective of beauty, the choices are mostly stews, such as "Longan, red dates and lotus seeds stewed", "Ginseng, snow fungus and bird's nest stew", "Tremella, almonds and lilies stewed", etc. It is better to choose a clay pot with a fine texture for soup making. , the more trendy thing now is to use earthen pots for cooking. As for stews, stew pots are the natural choice.
Compared with making soup, stew pot is more solemn. This is the so-called three pots and four stews. In other words, soup usually takes three hours, while stew pot takes at least four hours. In terms of operation, making soup is actually very simple. As long as the raw materials are properly matched, put the raw materials into the pot, wait until it boils, then simmer over low heat, and control the heat until the soup is boiling. The rest is a matter of time. Cantonese people are accustomed to drinking soup before meals.
In my opinion, this is a way to lose weight. The ingredients used in Laohuo Jingtang soup contain very little fat, and they are all extracted from the essence of birds and animals. As the cooking time progresses, all the nutrients in the raw materials have been absorbed. The soup can meet the normal needs of the human body. With the soup in the stomach, you will naturally eat less other food. I guess those obese Cantonese people probably don’t like to drink good soup. Guangdong women are famous for making soup. In the past, if you said that a Cantonese woman couldn't make soup, it was nothing less than an insult to her character. In a sense, making soup is a magic weapon for women to retain men. Times have changed, concepts have advanced, and women want to be pampered by their lovers. When a man prepares a cup of delicious soup for his beloved woman, how should the woman feel? This feeling of having half the sky to yourself, being nourished from the inside out, and feeling satisfied from the inside out, not only stops in my heart, but has clearly reached the corners of my eyes and eyebrows. Some people compare love to the process of making soup, which feels wonderful. Only with patience, attentiveness and considerate care can we make a good soup. The soup is thick and "moistening" and slowly slides into the stomach from the mouth. A warm current is not what we love. A kind of sublimation.
·Pearl River Tourism·
The Pearl River Night Tour is a tourism project with southern characteristics. The Pearl River includes tributaries such as the Dongjiang River, Xijiang River and Beijiang River, which merge into the Guangzhou section. The scenery is very beautiful. At night, with bright lights, the "Pearl River Pearl" tourist boat takes tourists from the Xidi Pier near the People's Bridge and travels eastward, passing through Jiefang Bridge, Haizhu Bridge, Jiangwan Bridge, Haiyin Bridge, Guangzhou Bridge, and Hedong Bridge, and then returns. . The scenery along the way includes the "Eight Scenes of Yangcheng" such as Zhuhai Danxin, East Lake Chunxiao, Huangpu Yunqiang, and Etan Night Moon, as well as Nanfang Building, Aiqun Building, Guangzhou Hotel, Landmark Hotel, Jiangwan Hotel, Ersha Haizhu Plaza Garden, White Swan Hotel, Shamian bungalow buildings, etc. The whole journey takes about two hours. The legend of the Pearl River and the "Three Stones": According to legend, an Arab businessman went to Guangzhou to do business in ancient times. One day, while admiring the scenery on both sides of the river, he admired a pearl of reason in his hand. Suddenly, the orb flew out of the businessman's palm and jumped into the river, emitting rays of light. Then, it turned into a large rock that stood in the river near today's Aiqun Building and the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions. People called it the "Sea Pearl Stone." . The river where this orb is located has been given a beautiful name by people: Pearl River. Although this is a myth, there did once exist a Haizhu Island in the Pearl River, and there was also a Cidu Temple on the island. This was once the old eight scenic spots of Yangcheng - "Autumn Colors of the Pearl River" and "Sunny Waves of the Pearl River". It was not until 1931 that a new embankment was expanded and connected to the north bank. An old banyan tree near the river near Jinghai Road is said to be a relic of the former Haizhu Island. In addition, there are sea seal stones and pagoda stones on the Pearl River. Haiyin Stone is located in the east of Dashatou. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, a "Haiyin Pavilion" was built. In the Qing Dynasty, it was called a viewing tower. It was only connected to the land in the late Qing Dynasty. Fuqiu Stone is located near Shigang Street at the fourth gate of Zhongshan 7th Road. It turned out to be a large reef, and there is also Fuqiu Temple. There is a coral well under the stone. It is said that it was the place where Ge Hong, the alchemist of the Jin Dynasty, made alchemy. "Fuqiu Danjing" is also one of the eight scenic spots in ancient Yangcheng. The Pearl River includes the Dongjiang River, Xijiang River, Beijiang River and other tributaries, flowing through the six provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Hunan and Guangdong. The main stream Xijiang River originates from Mazui Mountain in Qujing City, Yunnan Province, with a total length of 2,214 kilometers. Its length and drainage area rank third among rivers in the country, and its annual flow ranks second in the country. The Pearl River scenery line is the highlight of Guangzhou's tourist scenery. In 1985, Guangzhou City formulated the "Key Shoreline Landscape Control Plan for the Pearl River Reach" and renovated and constructed both sides of the river in eight phases. The investment in the embankment alone has exceeded 3 billion. Yuan Dynasty, making the 17-kilometer-long embankment the iconic scenery of Guangzhou. The water of the Pearl River and the landscape on both sides complement each other, and the combination of movement and stillness makes "seeing the Pearl River during the day and watching the lights at night" become one of the characteristics of the Pearl River tour. The pier where you board the ship is called Xidi Pier. At Xidi Pier, you can also take a boat to Lianhua Mountain, Huangpu Military Academy, Banyuedao and other places. The passenger ship tourism branch is also located here.
