Which province is Lingnan City from? Where is it?

Lingnan is the general name of the area south of Wuling in southern China. Wuling consists of five mountains: Yuechengling, Dupangling, Mengzhuling, Qitianling and Dayuling, which are generally distributed at the junction of eastern Guangxi, eastern Guangdong and Hunan and Jiangxi provinces.

Administratively, Lingnan was once the name of Lingnan Road in the Tang Dynasty, which was equivalent to the whole territory of Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan and the Red River Delta in Vietnam, and once belonged to the rule of the Chinese dynasty. Later, it was divided into Lingnan East Road and Lingnan West Road, which was the beginning of the division of Guangdong and Guangxi. During the Five Dynasties, Vietnam was separated independently. In the fourth year of Song Chunhua (993), Lingnan Road was renamed Guangnan Road.

Due to the changes of administrative divisions in past dynasties, the word Lingnan, especially Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hong Kong and Macao, is the regional scope of South China today.

The history of Lingnan civilization began when Qin unified Lingnan, and the large-scale migration from the Central Plains promoted the development of Lingnan. From the Qin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, Guangzhou has become an important city and foreign trade port in southern China, with famous figures such as yangfu, Yu Fan, Ge Hong, Bao Gu and Wang Fan. By the Han Dynasty, official and private schools such as "library" and "elegant house" had appeared in Guangzhou.

However, at that time, the focus of economic and population distribution was still in northern Guangdong and Xijiang River Basin, while the Pearl River Delta and Chaoshan Plain were sparsely populated and underdeveloped areas until the Tang Dynasty. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Zhang Jiuling, Liu Yong, Shao Ye, Yu Jing and other famous figures were born in northern Guangdong.

According to historical records, Zhang Jiuling's Bookstore Smoke in Tang Dynasty, Shixing's Bookstore Smoke in Late Tang Dynasty, Qing Bookstore where Wang Anshi studied in Shaozhou in Northern Song Dynasty, and Dan Teachers College where Yu Jing studied in Qingyuan Mountain in Wengyuan were all early private schools in Lingnan area. Kong Run, a descendant of Confucius 4 1, was founded in Nanxiong, Shaoguan in 962. It is the earliest academy in Lingnan.

Since modern times, Lingnan culture has become the forerunner of China's political, ideological and cultural revolution and development. 1839, Ma Lixun School, the first western-style school in modern China, was established in Macau. Zheng's dangerous words in prosperous times, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao's political reform, He Ziyuan's educational innovation to the democratic revolution led by Sun Yat-sen, Lingnan culture has always been an important representative and leading force of China's modern political revolution.

After the founding of New China, the reform and opening up and the rapid economic development provided conditions for the revival of local culture in China. In 1970s and 1980s, Guangdong entered the new culture period, and the soaring economy combined with Lingnan-style Cantonese culture and lifestyle formed the modern stage of Lingnan culture.
