Background

Tianjin is abbreviated as Jin, which means the place where the emperor passes through. It is also called Jingu, Jinmen, etc.

Tianjin began with the opening of the Grand Canal in the Sui Dynasty. At the intersection of the south canal and the North Canal and now the Sancha estuary of Gangqiao, known as "Sanhui Haikou" in history, is the earliest birthplace of Tianjin. After the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Tianjin became a land and water wharf for transporting grain and silk from the south to the north. Zhigu village was set up in Zhigu in Jin Dynasty, and Haijin town was set up in Yuan Dynasty.

From the second year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty, 1404 to 2004, Tianjin has been built for 600 years.

In the second year of Jianwen of Ming Dynasty (1400), Zhu Di led his troops to the south of zhigudu River to seize power. In 1403, it was changed to Yongle. The name Tianjin appeared in the early years of Yongle. Tianjin, as an important military area, was officially set up in 1404, the second year of Yongle. In the next year, Tianjin left guard was set up, and in the next year, Tianjin right guard was added. In the ninth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1652), the three bodyguards were merged into Tianjin bodyguard.

After Tianjin was opened as a trading port in 1860, Western powers set up concessions in Tianjin one after another. Tianjin became the frontier of opening up in northern China and the base of modern China's "Westernization" movement. The military modernization started from Tianjin, and the construction of railway, telegraph, telephone, postal, mining, modern education, justice and so on, all set the precedent in China. Tianjin became the second largest industrial and commercial city in China at that time and the largest financial and Trade Center in the north.

After the founding of new China in 1949, Tianjin, as a municipality directly under the central government, has achieved all-round development in economic construction and social undertakings, further consolidating its position as an important comprehensive industrial base and Trade Center in China. Since the reform and opening up, Tianjin's port advantages have been continuously enhanced, and its foreign exchanges have been further expanded. In the new century, Tianjin has become a modern international port metropolis and an important economic center in northern China.
