The landscape features are very obvious!

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Wenzhou belonged to the territory of the Yue State, and during the Qin Dynasty it belonged to the "Minzhong County". In 192 BC, Zou Yao, the seventh grandson of King Goujian of Yue, led the people of Wenzhou to participate in the peasant uprising in the late Qin Dynasty. , and later helped Liu Bang, the king of Han, defeat Xiang Yu. Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty named him the "King of the East China Sea" and set his capital in Dongou (today's Dawen Town, Wenling). It was called the "Dongou Kingdom" in the world, so Wenzhou was also called "Dongou Kingdom". Famous Town in Eastern Europe”. Therefore, Wenzhou is shortened to "Ou", and many things in Wenzhou also start with "Ou". For example, Wenzhou cuisine is called Ou Cai, Wenzhou's specialty fruit is Ou Gan, Wenzhou's mother river is called Oujiang, and Wenzhou's embroidery is called Ou embroidery. "Ou" is the "district" of the urban area plus "watt" with a tile, so how did the word "ou" come from? There is a saying: "Ou" is a kind of pottery. As early as the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, Wenzhou was rich in this kind of pottery. From this, we can see that Wenzhou is an ancient city with a long history.

The construction of the city of Wenzhou began in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, with a history of more than 1,600 years. In 323 AD, the famous scholar Guo Pu selected a site to build the city. He climbed a hill (now Guogong Mountain in Wenzhou City) and discovered the city of Wenzhou. There are seven hills inside. The shape of these hills is like the Big Dipper in the sky. So he built Wenzhou City according to the layout of the "Seven Stars and Big Dipper" and dug 28 wells in the city to control the sky. There are 28 constellations in the city. It is said that after the city wall was repaired, a white deer came with flowers in its arms. The white deer circled the city for a week and then ascended to the sky. The people passed it as auspicious. From then on, Wenzhou got another beautiful nickname, Bailu City, the name of Wenzhou. In the second year of the Yuan Dynasty (AD 675), Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, the local people wrote to the imperial court. Because "the people cultivated a lot of fire, and it was located in the south of Wenqiao Mountains. Although it was the middle of winter, it was always rainy", so it was renamed "Wenzhou" and it is still used today.

Wenzhou is a very inconspicuous little place on the map of China. It has a large population but little land, and lack of resources. Before the reform and opening up, transportation was not smooth (it was surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains). If you wanted to go out, there was only one waterway (the words "water" and "death" in Wenzhou dialect are homophones. At the end of the Cultural Revolution, the people of Wenzhou It is jokingly said that Wenzhou has only one dead (water) road). The harsh natural environment forces Wenzhou people to go out and find a way out. The success of Wenzhou people is undoubtedly the result of being forced by harsh conditions, breaking through, hard work, and being bold. Over the past 30 years of reform and opening up, Wenzhou has become one of the cities with the fastest growing private economy and the most vitality in China. In the early 1980s, taking advantage of the spring breeze of becoming one of the first coastal cities to open to the outside world, Wenzhou people made every effort to develop light manufacturing based on local conditions. Suddenly, family workshops were spread all over the city, and the market economy was extremely booming. After years of trial and error, Wenzhou's private enterprises, which have gone through countless ups and downs, have gradually become bigger and stronger, and have continued to expand outwards. Today, Wenzhou people's leather shoes, glasses, valves, lighters, clothing, transformers, pens, printed matter, locks, etc. are all famous at home and abroad. China's shoe kings, pen kings, lock kings... abound.

While achieving success, one thought-provoking thing that must be mentioned is:

On August 8, 1987, angry people lit a fire in Wulinmen Square, Hangzhou , more than 5,000 pairs of fake and inferior shoes from Wenzhou perished in the flames. The fire deeply burned the nerves of Wenzhou people and made the Wenzhou shoe industry pay a heavy price for not paying attention to quality. Following two shoe-burning incidents, Wenzhou people gradually began to reflect on credit and quality. This was the beginning of Wenzhou's more than ten-year quality project construction. Wenzhou leather shoes have since become famous brands and have gone global, and Wenzhou has also become the "Shoe Capital of China".

Wenzhou has been home to outstanding people since ancient times. The people are hardworking and intelligent, and are good at business development. Influenced by the Yongjia (today Wenzhou) school of thought represented by Ye Shi in the Southern Song Dynasty, which blended "establishing righteousness and doing good" with "being pragmatic and seeking merit", Wenzhou people have always had a pragmatic and innovative spirit. The unique geographical environment, cultural concepts and the policy of reform and opening up have created the Wenzhou people's spirit of "dare to be the first and especially capable of entrepreneurship". As reported by domestic and foreign news agencies, wherever there is a market and business opportunities, there are Wenzhou people. The biggest feature of Wenzhou's economy is that it is people-oriented, that is, private economy or "people's economy." Also known as the "Wenzhou model", the spirit of Wenzhou people includes: 1. A strong sense of innovation, daring to be the first in the world, and there have been number one "bold people", "bold people" and "bold people". 2. Wenzhou people have a particularly strong desire to start a business. The desire of "everyone wants to be a boss and everyone wants to be the boss of the party" makes them work hard in the world without hesitation. 3. The spirit of enduring hardship is particularly strong.

“I am not afraid of the sky or the earth, I am afraid that Wenzhou people speak Wenzhou dialect.” The complexity of Wenzhou dialect has always been considered the most difficult dialect to learn in China. one. Wenzhou dialect is very distinctive. First of all, it is extremely regional. No one outside the boundaries of Wenzhou can understand Wenzhou dialect.

There is a saying among the people in Wenzhou: During the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, our army's contact information was always deciphered by the enemy, thus causing considerable losses. Later, someone found that Wenzhou dialect was quite difficult to understand, so someone suggested that Wenzhou people could be used as correspondents to convey combat instructions and report combat situations. This suggestion was approved by the chief. So each company and each squad found a Wenzhou soldier to serve as a correspondent. Because Wenzhou dialect was too difficult to "translate", the confidentiality was kept. Wenzhou dialect did play a role in the war.
