Brief introduction of yuanzao

The growing prosperity of the Yuan Dynasty and the collapse of the Yangtze River embankment are all related to the disappearance of a small town in Nantong history. There is a picture in Tongzhouzhi in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty. In the south of Jinsha and Yuxi saltworks, there used to be a town called Lihe Town. According to the Records of Jiangnan compiled during Kang Yong's reign, Lihe Town, 50 miles east of Tongzhou, was already submerged in the Yangtze River, so many main households moved to Yuanzao and gradually built a new city.
