Why was Leshan called the fragrant country of begonia in ancient times?
Leshan, known as Jiazhou in ancient times, is located in the southwest of Sichuan Basin, more than 60 kilometers away from Chengdu 160, with an area of 20,000 square kilometers and a population of 6.2 million, and governs 17 counties. Leshan's history of building a city and governing the city can be traced back to more than two thousand years ago. The Western Han Dynasty was called Nan 'an, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty to Sui and Tang Dynasties was also called history. After the Song Dynasty, it was called Jiading. Because there is Leshan in the south of the city, it was renamed Leshan in the early Qing Dynasty. (Leshan was rich in Haitang with good color and fragrance in ancient times, also known as "Haitang Fragrant Country"). Leshan has been the hometown of culture since ancient times, with outstanding people and outstanding spirits. Meishan Susan and contemporary writer Guo Moruo are both from Leshan, which is also a national scenic spot with many tourist attractions. Its famous scenic spots include "Little West Lake", Wu Tong Bridge, Lingyun Temple and Wuyou Temple, where birds fly out and Qingfeng is back to Zhulou.
