Ninghai County has a history of 1700 years since the first year of Jin Taikang (AD 280). Besides the official county names, there are many beautiful nicknames, such as Bai Jiao, Danqiu, Taoyuan, Ning Chuan, Hewlett-Packard, Guicheng and Li Guangdi. Therefore, in the late Qing Dynasty, there was a song "Songs of Ninghai County" which was widely circulated: "The ancient name area of Danqiu Bai Jiao is connected to Tiantai East in the west; Regional civilization has returned to Lishui, and Qian Qiu's aura is famous for Confucianism. " Danqiu, Bai Jiao and Hewlett-Packard in the poem are aliases of Ninghai County. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Ninghai was called "Ning Chuan" by people at that time. At that time, Li Zhiwei, the county magistrate, said in "The New Year of County Learning": "Ning Chuan is also near the sea." Gai Ninghai. Wang Yi wrote in "The Monument to Xuan Di in the Back Beam": "Yuhuan swims in Ningchuan, Ning Chuan is vast, the mountains are covered, and the water flows through the middle of Fujian. Who has no famous mountains and rivers? " The mountains in Ninghai are an extension of Tiantai Mountain, and most of the water comes from Tiantai Mountain. Naturally, the myth that Liu Chen and Ruan Zhao, two woodcutters, entered the Taohua Creek in Su Ji Shen also flowed to Ninghai along with Tiantai Mountain, so Ninghai was called "Taoyuan" by the ancients, which means Xanadu, detached and refined. Huang Cheng, the county magistrate of the Yuan Dynasty, wrote a poem "Arriving at Ninghai at the First Time", which contains the phrase "Taoyuan is more beautiful than its name, where there are immortals". Up to now, there are Taoyuan Road, Taoyuan Bridge and taoyuan village in Ninghai. However, among the aliases of Ninghai, the one with the longest influence, the widest spread and the most controversial is "Goushi". Some people say that Goucheng was originally named Monkey City; Some people say that Goucheng was named after his son Jin flew from the south of Goushan, Henan Province to Tongbai Mountain. Some people say that Goucheng came to commemorate Fang Xiaoru. Some people say that Goucheng is the military fortress of Ninghai ... Anyway, Goucheng is a very desirable and yearning place-a place full of fairy tales and rich in Confucianism!

Qian Qiu halo is famous for Confucianism. Ninghai has been outstanding since ancient times, such as Hu Sansheng, the annotator of Zi Tongzhi Jian; Fang Xiaoru, a noble scholar in Ming Dynasty; Wang Xitong, a peasant leader who rose up; Rou Shi, one of the "Five Martyrs of the Left League"; Pan Tianshou, a master of Chinese painting; Kong Yong, an anti-Japanese general, is a symbol of Ninghai's context, but also a practitioner and demonstrator of Ninghai people's "Taizhou-style car-scrapping", and sang a noble and upright song for the beautiful Ninghai landscape!
