He introduced the inland culture to the south and created the Wu culture. The place used to be rich in tin deposit during the Zhou and Qin dynasties.

It was originally known as a source of tin, but, by the time the county was founded in 202 BCE under the Xi (Western) Han dynasty (206 BCE–25 CE), the deposits had been exhausted, and the county was named Wuxi (“Without Tin”). From the end of the 3rd century the city was subordinated to the commandery (district under the control of a commander) of Biling (later Changzhou) and remained so except for a brief interval under the rule of the Yuan (Mongol) dynasty (1206–1368), when it was made an independent prefecture.

    等了好几天，终于看到你的新作。看后感慨万千。
    我觉得千年古城，经济发达的无锡在旧城改造和改善居住做得很好，很稳。最直接的感觉是房价和物价控制得当。
    第一次去无锡是1983年。当时八个人吃了顿大餐，我记得是在一家“大三元饭馆”，十菜一汤。花了40元。
    无锡人吃什么都是甜的，可没见几个胖子。其实无锡的饮食蛮清淡的，面筋，干丝，包子混沌，加上各种百吃不厌的蔬菜，都是我中意的。
    上一次去无锡是2014年。吃住行都很便宜。可惜这里只能写文字。不能配图片和视频。没法给你凑趣。

    Wuxi was part of the Wu state. Wu state was founded by Wu Taibo. Wu Taibo was the first son of King of Zhou clan during the shang dynasty. Just like the brother of Wu Taibo who's clans founded the Zhou dynasty. The Zhou dynasty royals who have many offspring founded different ancient Chinese state who later began the Warring states period of china.

    The river in the video has a history of 2500 years, dating back to the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period. 1400 years ago, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty repaired the canal linking Beijing and Hangzhou. This river is the main trunk line.Wuxi's per capita GDP has been No 1。 After entering 2010, the city gradually transformed. We should develop in the direction of humanism, livability and improving the environment, and no longer pursue the overall GDP in an extensive way. House prices are also much cheaper than those in Shanghai and Suzhou. However, more efforts are needed to protect the water resources of Taihu Lake. Truly realize the "beauty of Taihu Lake".
