Jiangxi was called Ganpo Dadi in ancient times, because in 733 AD Tang Xuanzong set up Jiangnan West Province, and Jiangxi's mother river Ganjiang ran through the territory from south to north and was referred to as "Gan". Jiangxi is a relatively special province in China, although it is located in the central part, it is a province in east China. Jiangxi's sense of existence is not very high, and it is a province that is often forgotten, so that people in the province often laugh at themselves as "Akalin Province". But the place we want to talk about not only has a good name, but also has become a famous county in Jiangnan by virtue of its strength, which has won a lot of glory for Jiangxi.
It is located in the middle of Jiangxi Province, in the middle reaches of the Ganjiang River, like a leaf full of profound culture pasted on the border between Ganxiang and Xiang provinces, in the middle of the Luoxiao Mountains, according to the rich Jitai Plain. It was called Jizhou in ancient times, and luling in earlier times. In the first year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Ce took this land after crossing the Jiangdong And divided it into Yuzhang County, where Luling County was established. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Jishui and Anfu were each given a word, which means "Jitai Min'an", and Ji'an got its name and continues to use it today.
Ji'an is one of the earliest ancient counties in Jiangxi and one of the birthplaces of the Gan culture, where the academy spreads throughout the countryside and gives birth to its own Jiangyou Luling culture, and the name Luling is also favored by the locals. Since ancient times, it has enjoyed the reputation of "the country of articles and righteousness, the land of humanistic origins", and has won many titles such as Jiangnan Wangjun, Shanshui Fudi, "Hometown of Champions", "Hometown of Talents", General City, Red Cradle, Revolutionary Holy Land and many other titles.
Luling Ancient County has a long history, the people are brilliant, the Northern Song Dynasty literary hero Su Dongpo once wrote a poem "Majestic City Guo Kuo, Luling Half Suzhou", it should be the best endorsement of Luling City. Since the ancient culture developed here, from the Tang and Song dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial examination system flourished for thousands of years, and three thousand jinshi have come out of here, and only in the Ming Dynasty Jianwen second year Gengchenke and Yongle second year Jia Shenke, the three Dingjia are from Ji'an.
Ji'an is also known for "three thousand jinshi crown Huaxia, article knots and piles of flowers", and the unique phenomenon of double consecutive championships of this group has also created a unique miracle in the history of ancient imperial examinations. The humanistic grandeur of "one door and three soldiers, two prime ministers across the river, five miles and three champions, ten miles and nine governments, nine sons and ten zhizhou" can be described as unprecedented, leaving a strong mark in the cultural history of the Chinese nation.
Whether it is Ouyang Xiu, one of the eight great poets of the Tang and Song Dynasties, Yang Wanli, one of the four great poets of ZTE, wen Tianxiang, a patriotic poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, or Xie Jin, one of the three talents of the Ming Dynasty, they are all the pride of Ji'an Laobiao. When it comes to porcelain with the most Chinese elements, many people will think of Jingdezhen, in fact, there is an ancient town in Ji'an that is more famous than Jingdezhen - Yonghe Town.
The porcelain produced by the Yonghe Zhenjizhou kiln in the two Song Dynasties also went abroad and was exported to Japan, Southeast Asia and other places, and the Ming Dynasty's "Dongchangzhi" also praised the ancient town of "talking about the prosperity of Luling, gathered in Yonghe".
