Tangqi legend

According to the existing historical records, as early as before the Northern Song Dynasty, Tangqi was just a small fishing village, where fishermen scattered in twos and threes to rest in the sun. It was not until Zhang Shicheng widened the Guantang Canal in the Yuan Dynasty that people lived along the pond and the town began to take shape. During the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, the construction of Guangji Bridge connected the two sides of the town and gradually formed a market town with a certain scale.

There is such a record in Guangxu's "Tang Qizhi": "After the Yuan Dynasty, rivers were opened to build bridges and cities gathered together." Another cloud: "The official road in the Tang Dynasty was based on sail weaving, and those who went from Hangzhou stopped here; People from Jiaxiu also stay here, where land and water meet, merchants are row upon row, and the banks of the river are crowded. " It can be seen that the beautiful Beijing-Hangzhou ancient canal has nurtured Tangqi.
