Features: Ningbo is located by the East Sea and is an ancient port city on China's southeastern coast, serving as the eastern starting point of the Maritime Silk Road. Since the construction of Mingzhou City in the "Three Rivers" area, the city of Ningbo has a history of 1,180 years. Over these long years, through the efforts of generations of ancestors, a wealth of cultural relics and historical sites have been preserved to this day. These historical and cultural heritage are an important part of the outstanding cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, so the State Council has designated Ningbo as a national-level historical and cultural city. Since the 20th century, with the upgrading of the city and the transformation and expansion of the old city, Ningbo has been advancing toward becoming a modern international port city. The rapid development of the old city has also brought vitality to the cause of cultural relic preservation and archaeological research. To write this book well, the results of archaeological excavations and surveys conducted in Ningbo since its liberation were scientifically studied, highlighting the key points in the historical development of the port city and recording the historical facts. This approach not only emphasizes the key aspects but also accurately documents the major historical events.
