Why do Tianjin sell more?

Tianjin is called "ancient" because it is a sunken place where rivers turn, and there are many places where Tianjin Haihe River and its tributaries turn, so there are many places called "ancient" in Tianjin.

Tianjin used to retreat from the sea. In the old days, many large puddles or lakes were left behind after retreating from the sea, so it was called land sale at that time. Later, this name continued in Tianjin. Tianjin is famous for its seventy-two selling, and its previous abbreviation was also called "selling".

The earliest record of "seventy-two selling" comes from Zhang Tao's "Tianjin Miscellanies" in the Qing Dynasty, which mentioned that "there are seventy-two selling in Tianjin, but in fact there are only twenty-one selling." How much "selling" there is in Tianjin is also a question that people have been curious about. During the period of 1984, Tianjin Literature and History Research Institute made statistics on Tianjin's "selling" according to modern administrative divisions, and got about 80 figures. Although the statement of "seventy-two selling" is wrong, it shows the regional characteristics of many selling in Tianjin and is widely spread in ancient poems.
