Hangzhou used to be called Lin 'an. Why did someone say in his poem that "Hangzhou should be Bianzhou"?

In the first year of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty (1 126), the Jin people captured Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and captured two emperors, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong. The territory of the Central Plains was completely occupied by the Jin people. Zhao Gou fled to the south of the Yangtze River and ascended the throne in Lin 'an, which is known as the Southern Song Dynasty. Instead of accepting the painful lesson of national subjugation in the Northern Song Dynasty, the small court in the Southern Song Dynasty became angry from embarrassment and tried to be strong. The rulers did not want to recover the lost land in the Central Plains, but only begged for peace and surrendered to the outside world.

In the second year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 132), Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou returned to Hangzhou for the second time. He took a fancy to this "paradise on earth" in the southeast, and he was determined to achieve the ultimate goal. So he went from an emperor to a literati businessman. In exchange for humiliation, he overhauled the building, built the hall, built the ancestral temple, and sang and danced to his heart's content.

Hangzhou has a history of more than 2200 years since the establishment of the county government in Qin Dynasty. It was the capital of Wu Yueguo and the Southern Song Dynasty. Because of its beautiful scenery, it is known as "paradise on earth". In the Tang Dynasty, Mingzhou became one of the famous ports along the southeast coast of China. Through the Grand Canal dug by the Sui Dynasty, the goods in Mingzhou City can be directly delivered to Chang 'an, the capital at that time, and the waterway is smooth.

Due to the convenience of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and trade ports, as well as its own developed silk and grain industries, Hangzhou was once an important commercial distribution center in history. Later, relying on the opening of Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway and other railway lines and the promotion of Shanghai's import and export trade, light industry developed rapidly. Since the new century, driven by high-tech enterprises such as Alibaba, Internet economy has become a new economic growth point in Hangzhou.
