Why is Yulin called Beiliu City?

It is named after Gui Jiang (now Beiliu River) flowing from south to north in its territory. Beiliu City, formerly known as the thoroughfare of Guangdong and Guangxi and the state of ancient bronze, was once "rich in the world" and was known as "Little Foshan" and "Jinbeiliu". Located in the southeast of Guangxi, it borders Gaozhou City, Huazhou City and Xinyi City of Guangdong Province in the south. Located in the south of the Tropic of Cancer, it has a typical subtropical monsoon climate.
