Although Tianjin’s history is not long, it is unforgettable. On December 23, 1404 AD, in order to commemorate the Ming Dynasty's "Battle of Jingnan" where troops were launched here, the place was named Tianjin, which means the ferry crossing where the emperor passed. In the Zhigu area, Tianjin began to build Jianwei, which is commonly known as "Tianjin Guard" today. In 1860, the Sino-British Crow War ended with the defeat of China's late Qing government. The British and French allied forces occupied Tianjin, and Tianjin was forced to open up to the great powers. They successively entered Tianjin and established concessions in Tianjin, leaving an indelible mark of shame in modern Chinese history.

On November 29, 1948, the famous "Battle of Tianjin" started, marking the prelude to the liberation of Tianjin. In the early morning of January 15 of the following year, the People's Liberation Army's East-West Assault Group successfully met on the Jintang Bridge, turning the history of Tianjin upside down.
