Is Luoding City, Guangdong Province very glorious in its history?

Yes. Luoding has a long history of 2,400 years and has a large number of cultural preservation units and outstanding intangible culture. In the Ming Dynasty, due to the suppression of the "Yao Rebellion" in the Luopang area, Longshui County (formerly part of Zhaoqing Prefecture) was upgraded to Luoding Prefecture, becoming the first Zhili Prefecture in Guangdong history. Luoding Prefecture governs Dong'an (Yunfu County) and Xining (Yunan County) counties, which are known as "Three Luo" in history.

As one of the “Ten Prefectures and One Prefecture” in Guangdong during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Luoding Prefecture existed for 334 years in history. Luoding is the core area of ​​Nanjiang culture; Luoding River, also known as Nanjiang, was listed as one of the "Four Rivers" in Guangdong by ancient scholars. It is an important connecting channel and ancient post road of the Maritime and Continental Silk Road, creating and retaining rich and splendid cultural heritage.

Extended information:

Looking back on history, the Nanjiang Ancient Road was once an important passage for the ancient Chu people to go south to the coast. The Warring States bronzes unearthed in Nanmendong and other places in the upper reaches of the Taiping River in Luoding all have very distinctive Chu cultural characteristics. At the same time, Nanjiang was also an important transportation route for the Han people from the Central Plains to move south to Lingnan and for the Central Plains area to the South China Sea.

Luoding River (Nanjiang) is an important connecting channel and ancient post road connecting the Central Plains to the Maritime Silk Road, and Luoding is the most important node on the Nanjiang River. The Luoding River basin (including its tributaries) is entirely within the territory of the ancient Luoding Zhili Prefecture. It was one of the most economically and culturally developed areas in the ancient Lingnan region, creating and retaining rich and splendid cultural heritage.
