The annual average temperature is between 2.6℃ and 22.5℃, which is generally the same as normal (the annual average temperature in Conghua City is 2.6℃, which is the lowest in local history), but the abnormal temperature is obvious in the year, with the temperature significantly lower in January and February, and significantly higher in March, September and October. The annual extreme maximum temperature is between 37.4℃ and 38.8℃, and the annual extreme minimum temperature is between-.2℃ and 4.6℃.
It is said that Guangzhou was built by five immortals who rode down to earth on five-color sheep. They saved the city from famine. Therefore, Guangzhou is also called "Yangcheng". The earliest inhabitants in this area can be traced back to 214 BC, when Qin Shihuang sent his troops south to capture the South China Sea.
Because Guangzhou is lucky to be located at the north end of the Pearl River, this city has been the most important southern port in China since ancient times. In the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-97), it was the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road and an important maritime route for transporting silk and other goods to the western regions. It was a Portuguese trading post in the 16th century and an English trading post in the 17th century.
in p>1911, after the collapse of the Qing dynasty, Guangzhou became the base of the * * * and the party. Sun Yat-sen (1866-1925), the first president of the Republic of China, was born in Cuiheng Village. In the early 192s, he led the Kuomintang (KMT) to organize a campaign against northern warlords in Guangzhou. Guangzhou is also the activity center of the budding * * * production party, and Mao Zedong and other leaders of the * * * production party also used it as their activity base in 1925/1926.
After liberation, Guangzhou (a large area) put all its energy into economic development. Even if China cut off contacts with other countries, the Canton Fair is still the only exchange meeting for China to do business with western countries. Today, Guangzhou is still an important import and export center.
Guangzhou has a long history, which was recorded in the historical materials of the Zhou Dynasty, and it was called "Chuting". During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan, Emperor Wu, first put forward the title of "Guangzhou". As the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road in the Tang Dynasty, it was already one of the most prosperous cities in the south. Even in the closed-door Qing dynasty, it was the only trading port in the country and held the lifeline of the country's foreign trade. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Guangzhou has gradually developed into the third largest city in China, the central city in South China and the cultural core city in the Pearl River Basin, and is known as the south gate of China.
Guangzhou is called Wuyang City. According to legend, during the Zhou Dynasty, there was a great disaster in Guangzhou, and the people were in dire straits. God sent five immortals to ride five fairy sheep to the world, with five ears of rice in their mouths. After the magical ear of rice saved the people, the immortal died, but the five fairy sheep wanted to stay on earth and continue to bless and protect the local people. Later, in memory of Xian Yang, the people made a statue of him, which is now the Wuyang sculpture in Yuexiu Park. The mascot of the 16th Asian Games held in Guangzhou in 21 was designed based on the legend of Wuyang.
