Taizhou City

Jiangyan was born from water. In ancient times, the three waters of the Yangtze River, Huaihe River and Yellow Sea converged in Jiangyan, so it was called "Three Waters". And because the three waters converged and impacted into a pond, the water in the pond has many vortices and looks like human finger ribs, so it is also called "Luotang". During the Northern Song Dynasty, the floods occurred. Jiang Renhui and Jiang E, their father and son, devoted themselves to charity and wealth, and led the people to build weirs to fight the floods, protecting the lives and property of the people. The ancient town was named Jiangyan, and it has been famous for thousands of years.
