With its advantages of facing the ocean and convenient external connections, Quanzhou in Fujian and Guangzhou in Guangdong were famous as early as the Song and Yuan Dynasties. A great trading port and the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road. With the rise of modern capitalism, while enduring the "being beaten behind", this region also accepted the baptism of Western capitalist industrial civilization earlier.
