Historical evolution

Banqiao, also known as guxiong, is also known as banqiaopu in the Han Dynasty. It is written by Li Daoyuan in shuijingzhu: "the river flows through three mountains, and Xiangpu flows out of the river. There are floating bridges crossing the water from north to south, so it is called banqiaopu." The floating bridge here is the earliest slab bridge. It has always been a place where businessmen gather and people gather. Suzhou salt, ceramics, wood and bamboo ware gather and disperse here and circulate everywhere.

Banqiao Town is one of the oldest important towns in Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. It has made great contributions to Nanjing and even China in transportation, economy, culture, military and other aspects.

As early as 1000 years ago, in the southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, Banqiao area became a very prosperous tourist attraction. The poems written by Xie Tiao, Li Bai and other great poets about Banqiao have been popular throughout the ages. "Song of three continents" in the Southern Dynasty: "send song to Banqiao Bay, treat each other at the top of three mountains, see thousands of sails in the distance, know that it is by the wind." "Three mountains" in the sentence is the scenic spot "three mountains" in Banqiao. Celebrities such as Li Bai, Yang Wanli, Bao Zhao and Xie Tiao all visited Banqiao and left poems.
