When did Shantou become famous? How many years have it been?

Shantou city was an alluvial land along the Chaoshan coast in ancient times. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, due to the war, hundreds of thousands of Minnan people immigrated from Putian to Chaozhou. In the late Tang Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty, the late Yuan Dynasty and the middle and late Ming Dynasty, a large number of immigrants moved here. The reason for the migration was that Putian was overpopulated and fled the war caused by foreign invasion, which was the largest in the last years of the Southern Song Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, there was a big fishing village called Xia Ling in the photochemical department. Pengzhou Shouqian households were set up in the early Ming Dynasty, and Chenghai was subordinate to Chenghai when it was set up in Jiajing period.
