When Tianjin changed its name from Haijin Town to Tianjinwei, it was turbulent for a period of dynasties. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, sealed the kings to his sons and guarded the land of all parties in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Tianjin was within the fief of Judy, the fourth son of Ming Taizu. Judy's fief can be said to be rich in products, with the right time and the right place. With this development, Judy's strength and wealth continue to grow.
1398, Zhu Yuanzhang died of illness, and finally Zhu Yunwen, the eldest grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, succeeded to the throne. His mediocrity and incompetence, coupled with Judy's growing strength. 1400, sent troops to Shikoku for the throne. 1402, Judy ascended the throne, known as Ming Chengzu in history.
The year number is Yongle. To commemorate the "Dragon Country" where the army was sent. Zhigu was renamed "Tianjin", "Tian" was the son of heaven, and "Tianjin" was an ancient Italian port and seaport. It means crossing Tianjin. As a military department, it is divided into Tianjin Wei, Tianjin and Tianjin Youwei. And the title of "Tianjin Wei" also came from this.

Maybe the name "Tianjin" brings good luck. From then to World War II, Tianjin was immersed for more than five centuries.
According to Wei Zhi of Tianjin, in the middle of Ming Dynasty, the area along the Yangtze River in the northwest of the city has become the "CBD" of Tianjin, with grain shops all over the place and a transaction scale of one million stones. The first batch of "millionaires" in Tianjin were born here. Among the famous "Eight Lords" in Jinmen, half started from selling grain and half made a fortune from salt industry.
Most of the trackers, boatmen and porters from the south are not used to the cold weather in the north, but they can't afford new clothes, so they have to buy some old clothes to wear. As a result, shops and stalls specializing in selling used clothes appeared, and they were sold very cheaply. Later, many businessmen went to Tianjin to buy old clothes in bulk and then shipped them back to the south for sale. So there was the "Clothing Appraisal Street"-a clothing commercial street with a history of more than 600 years, which is also rare in the world.
During the Kangxi period, the maritime ban was lifted, and Tianjin's "canal economy" returned to the situation of "paying equal attention to both rivers and seas". Grain from the grain-producing areas in the south of the Yangtze River, reed salt along the coast and silk products from the south of the Yangtze River are continuously transported to Tianjin and distributed along the two rivers and seas. Banks engaged in exchange business came into being, and banks in Tianjin are well known. Tianjin has become the commercial center of northern China.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the massive invasion of European powers opened the door to Tianjin, and the concession area appeared. Orientals and westerners moved here and began to clone their living environment.
At the beginning of the 20th century, there was a popular nursery rhyme: "Have you ever eaten foreign white flour? Have you been on four rounds of electricity? Have you ever drunk tap water? Have you ever made a special seal? "
People here have eaten foreign white flour for the first time, and Tianjin Flour Factory told China people for the first time that it is not necessary to use a stone mill to make flour. The emergence of four-wheeled electric trains (trams) gives working civilians the right to ride.
Although Belgium, which built trams, spends the proceeds from their tram operation in Tianjin on national education every year. At that time, Tianjin people called Ericsson, took Otis elevator, used Unilever soap, ate western food in Cheshire and took Mercedes-Benz jingle trams.
The life of a Guinness celebrity is "very interesting and charming" and expensive. Puyi, the last emperor who moved from the Forbidden City, was afraid to take his wife and concubines out easily, because they would compete with each other to buy valuable things that Beijing didn't have, which made people sad.
In the first half of the 20th century, Tianjin was the most prosperous metropolis in China except Shanghai, and also the boiling center of modern China. From industry to modern media, from university education to social public service facilities, Tianjin is at the forefront of China's modernization process.
