2. The meaning of Rugao:

The word "Ru" of "Rugao" means arrival. "Gao" is a highland by the water.

It comes from a beautiful and legendary love story in Zuo Zhuan.

"Zuo Zhuan" "Once upon a time, Dr. Jia was evil and took his wife for beauty. For three years, he didn't talk or laugh. Royal to Rugao, shoot pheasant, get it, his wife began to laugh. Therefore, it was named Rugao and Luogao.

The story is: Doctor Jia, Jia Nanping was originally a doctor of Jia State, but he was still named a doctor after the Jin Dynasty destroyed Jia State. He refused to accept it and fled to us overnight. At that time, we still belonged to the "land of Jing Man" above the Yellow Sea. Dr. Jia settled in Dongchen Town here (Dongchen Town came first in Rugao, then in Gaocheng). His wife, Lei, is the daughter of a large local family. She is very beautiful and intelligent. Because Jia Nanping looked ugly and was not tall, Lei Shi was always unhappy, so that he didn't talk or laugh for three years. Until one autumn three years later, they went hunting in Xiushui Port (now Xiushui Lane) in Rugao by car. Jia Nanping shot a pheasant with a bow, and Lei Shi smiled at first sight, because she felt that her husband was not very good-looking, but he was quite capable. After that, Leishi began to speak to her husband. According to this allusion, it is called "Rugao and Luogao". There is also a "Shooting Pheasant Pavilion" along the outer city river to commemorate this doctor Jia.
