At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a peasant revolt led by Chen Youliang, a native of Shinyang, the Red Turbans, who established a monumental feat in the struggle against the Yuan Dynasty. Chen Youliang came from a family of fishermen in Shinyang since childhood. When he was young, he was as cynical as he was vindictive, and after the uprising, he was always courageous and fought hard, and finally, he gradually rose from an ordinary soldier to the position of a marshal. Taking Shinyang as his base, he expanded his power to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and finally established the "Han Kingdom" as a king, which was equal to Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming regime. Although Chen Youliang was defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang, the people of Shinyang will never forget his achievements.
