Zhanglingu Port: Zhang Lin in History

/kloc-More than 0/00 years ago, Chaozhou dialect, Chenghai dialect, Raoping dialect and Nan 'ao dialect met in Zhang Lin. It has a vast sea and a wide river, and has been the salt industry center in eastern Chaozhou since the Song Dynasty. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1573- 16 19), the offshore fishery developed greatly, and soon it became the dock of "a prosperous city with fresh fish", and Zhang Lin began to spread the tide. With the lifting of the sea ban, businessmen and fishing boats in coastal provinces have more frequent exchanges. Guangdong merchant ship is called "red-headed ship" because the upper part of the big mast and the bow are coated with red oil. At that time, the red-headed fleet set sail from here, which became a major feature of Zhanglin Port. Today, when people mention the red-headed boat, they will still think of the time when thousands of overseas Chinese ancestors from Qian Qian crossed the ocean and made a living on the dock of Zhanglin Port.
