Baini town

At the end of Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Baini town was an important trade market town in the surrounding areas. It became the junction of the three provinces, where all kinds of local products and agricultural and sideline products were scattered. Tea, black mortar oil, Yangshan paper and rice, as well as tung oil and tea oil from Jiangxi Province were shipped to Wuhan from here, and then exchanged for sugar, salt, cloth and some necessities of production and life. In addition to supplying Baini Town, they were also exported to Tongshan, Hunan and Jiangxi provinces.

Due to the rich goods in Baini Town, the merchants are honest in business, especially favored by Jiangxi people nearby. Shen zheqing, a poet of the Qing Dynasty, once wrote a poem describing the scene at that time: "in the city, there are many people living far and high, and the department stores in Suzhou and Hangzhou are all well-organized; there are many people on the streets, and the high-rise shops belong to Jiangxi." Today, many people in Jiangxi Province rush to Baini town to buy goods on New Year's day. Perhaps it is the frequent contact between the people of Jiangxi and the local people that makes the local dialect closer to the accent of Jiangxi.
