Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was well aware of the importance of "Baoshan", because after the dredging of the Wusong River in the second year of Yongle (1404), Wusongkou became one of the starting points for grain transportation from south to Hokkaido, so in 1412 Ming Chengzu personally wrote an inscription and ordered people to make a stone monument, that is, the "Imperial Treasure Mountain Stele", and the name of Baoshan was born.
1412 years ago 610 years ago, the sun and the moon have changed several times, the rivers have changed several times, although "Baoshan" has sunk into history, Baoshan is still as long as Qiankun, and it shines with new light in the new era. According to the relevant person in charge of the District Cultural and Tourism Bureau, in order to commemorate the 610th anniversary of Baoshan, Baoshan focused on the past and present dynasties of this hot land with the theme of "Baoshan Style", and deeply excavated the historical and cultural memory of Baoshan.
