The Dead Sea has been called the Salt Sea since ancient times. Because the salinity of seawater is six times higher than that of ordinary seawater, aquatic organisms cannot survive, so it is named "Dead Sea".
Yuncheng Salt Lake with a history of 4000 years was born in Cenozoic Himalayan tectonic movement. The mountains go out to sea, which makes this closed and flowing salt lake deposit inexhaustible precious minerals.
Yuncheng Salt Lake occupies an important page in the history of salt industry in China. In Meng Qian Bi Tan, Shen Kuo, an ancient scientist, made an incisive exposition on the geological structure and salt-forming process of Yuncheng Salt Lake. Liu Zongyuan's bronze inscription called salt lake "the treasure of Jin"; Great thinkers in the Ming Dynasty took care of the book "Diseases between Countries", among which there was a monograph on Yuncheng Salt Lake resources. Modern historian Fan Wenlan's General History of China also describes the economic value of Yuncheng.
Nowadays, the Rales Salt Lake Water Bath, invested and developed by Shanxi Nanfeng Chemical Industry Group Co., Ltd., has become an ideal place integrating tourism, vacation, sightseeing and recuperation, bringing this ancient salt lake back to life and filling a gap in China's tourism products. As Mr. Guo Moruo, a cultural giant in China, said in his poem praising Yuncheng Salt Lake: "The ancient salt pond and sea are of great use."
