What is the origin of Wenzhou's name?

In the second year of Tang Gaozong (675), the county was located in Wenzhou, which was the beginning of the name of Wenzhou. According to "Zhejiang Tongzhi", "Wenzhou is a native of Shanxi, with skillful writing, many people and diligent work, although it is an endless sorrow in the dead of winter". Wenzhou is located in the south of Wen Qiao Ridge, with no severe cold in winter, no intense heat in summer and mild climate, so it is called Wenzhou.
