Wenzhou used to be Ou Di, also known as Dongou, or "Ou" for short. Ou is the name of a pottery. About the Neolithic Age, primitive Ou people lived in Wenzhou and made pottery. In the third year of Huidi in the Western Han Dynasty (BC 192), it was the capital of Donghai King (commonly known as Dongou King Qiyao). The river that flows through Wenzhou is called Oujiang. When Wenzhou students saw that Hong Kong was called Hong Kong, they invented the name YUJEU according to Wenzhou Ou dialect.
The ancient city of Wenzhou was built in the first year of Taining in East Jin Mingdi (AD 323). Because it is located in Lingnan, Wen Qiao, it is "unchanged in the dead of winter" and the four seasons are mild and humid, so it is named Wen Qiao. According to "Wenzhou Prefecture Records", when the city was built, Guo Pu, the magistrate, climbed the Western Hills and looked around the mountains. He said to the locals: "When the city is rich outside the mountain, it is bound to build a city on the mountain, but if the enemy does not fight, it will be safe for a long time." So he imitated the position of the Big Dipper and built it on the mountain, so it was called Doucheng. Legend has it that when the city was built, a white deer ran with flowers in its mouth, spit on the wall and turned into a cloud. Ran Ran flew into the sky, and the place where the white deer ran was full of birds and flowers. People call it Bailucheng or Lucheng for good luck.
The city flower of Wenzhou is camellia, and the city tree is banyan.
