Suzhou, called Wu in ancient times, is now called Su for short. There are many ancient names and nicknames such as Gusu, Wudu, Wuzhong, Soochow, Wumen and Heping River. Suzhou has a history of more than 4,000 years since its own written records, and it is one of the first 24 historical and cultural cities in China. During the Spring and Autumn Period, it was the capital of the State of Wu, and there are still many historical sites about history and Wu Zixu. In the ninth year of Emperor Wendi (AD 589), it was named Suzhou, which was named after Gusu Mountain in the southwest of the city. Suzhou was built earlier, with large scale, parallel land and water, and adjacent rivers and streets. The ancient city is still located on the original site, which is rare at home and abroad.
