Is Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu from Nanyang, Henan or Zaoyang, Hubei?

Ancient Xiangfan now belongs to Nanyang County, so there is a saying that Zhuge Liang devoted his life to living in Nanyang, and Nanyang is actually the present Xiangfan. Zaoyang belongs to a county-level city in Xiangfan, and Liu Xiu's birthplace is Baishui Village, Wudian Town, Zaoyang City. At present, there is still a scenic spot named Baishui Temple in Wudian Town to commemorate Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty. Cai Yang is now a town in Zaoyang City. In the past, Wudian belonged to Caiyang County, so Liu Xiu was from Caiyang. Wudian Town has beautiful scenery and outstanding people. It not only has a strong cultural atmosphere endowed by historical background, but also has the lifestyle and facilities of modern towns. Today, there is still the Baishui Temple Fair, which is scheduled for the third day of the third lunar month every year. During the fireworks season in March, tourists in the temple are weaving, flowers are in full bloom, willows are lingering, and there are inscriptions. According to ancient legends, the white water lake at the foot of the mountain is sparkling, breezy and inhabited by egrets, which is a treasure trove of geomantic omen.
