There was a kind of "Yu Auntie Sailing Boat" among merchant ships in the Tang Dynasty?
There were many shipbuilding bases in the Tang Dynasty. Such as Xuan (now Xuancheng, Anhui), Run (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu), Chang (now Changzhou, Jiangsu), Su (now Suzhou, Jiangsu), Hu (now Huzhou, Zhejiang), Hangzhou (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang), Yue (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang), Taiwan (now Linhai, Zhejiang), Wu (now Jinhua, Zhejiang) and Jiang (now Zhejiang). Fuzhou, Quanzhou and Guangzhou on the southern coast, and Dengzhou (now Yantai, Shandong) on the eastern coast. These shipbuilding bases all have shipyards, which can build ships, seagoing ships and warships of all sizes. In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan (AD 644), Emperor Taizong did not listen to Silla's instructions and decided to attack Korea. Minghong, Rao (now Boyang, Jiangxi) and Jiangsanzhou each built 400 ships to carry rations. Sean was ordered to lead 40,000 troops and 500 warships to take Pyongyang from Laizhou. Ada, a wealth manager, set up 65,438+00 shipyards in Yangzi (Yizheng, Jiangsu) when he was a salt and iron transshipment agent in Suzong and Daizong in the Tang Dynasty, which shows the strong shipbuilding ability in the Tang Dynasty. More and more ships are built every year. Only Mingzhou (now south of Ningbo, Zhejiang) and Wenzhou can build 600 ships of various types every year, which not only increases the number of shipbuilding, but also improves the technical level of shipbuilding. During the Zhenyuan period of Dali (AD 766-805), there was a wealthy businessman, Auntie Yu, who had a big ship called Auntie Yu. There is a saying in the Jianghu: "Water doesn't carry a thousand stones", which means that a big ship carries eight or nine thousand stones. But "Aunt Yu has the biggest boat, and it is well known that there will be residents who die and get married. Driving a driveway is a nursery with hundreds of driving posts. As far away as Jiangxi in the south and Huainan in the north, the benefits of one-year-old exchange are very rich [p ǔ pu, in a broad sense], but it is worth all. There are quite a few rivers with red forehead, almost half of the town. All big ships must be owned by wealthy businessmen "(Tang Shi Xuan Ying's" All Classic Sounds and Meanings ") is not less than 10000 tons", that is to say, it has almost reached the load capacity of 10000 stone. "Open a driveway as a nursery" means that flowers, fruits and vegetables can be planted on the boat. There are hundreds of workers sailing the boat, so you can imagine that the scale of the ship "Auntie Yu" really looks like the hometown of the water residents.
