"Yun" is a relatively mysterious word in Chinese characters. In addition to the meaning of "move", the more common usage is to reflect a person's life experience, that is, "Yun number". When people name a city after "luck", do they hope it is "good luck"? This may mean this, but the more common saying is that it prospers with salt. The "Yun" in the city name refers to "Yun Yan", so " Yuncheng " can be understood as "Salt Yuncheng City".
In ancient times, the production and trading of salt and iron were generally run by the government, and its special nature in social circulation was more than that of today's tobacco. Shanxi, where Yuncheng is located, is located north of the Central Plains and south of the grassland. In the ancient times when the northwest lake salt and the southeast sea salt were not rising and the Shuzhongjing salt was remote, the lake salt produced by Yuncheng Yanchi became a "hot commodity". Relying on the production of salt and transportation of salt, Yuncheng developed a prosperous economy and produced Hedong culture, which wrote a brilliant mark in Chinese history.
Although it has only been more than 20 years as the prefecture-level administrative division, Yuncheng's one district, ten counties and two county-level cities have emerged in history, and historical treasures related to these districts, counties and cities have emerged one after another. Although many relics are now destroyed under the loess and many historical records are scattered in the old paper, the cultural relics, historical sites and cultural customs that have been preserved to this day are enough to make travelers' trip to Yuncheng full of rewards.
The first choice destination for many people to visit Yuncheng is the Guandi Temple in Jiezhou. Although this Guandi Temple 20 kilometers away from Yuncheng District was rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty, its magnificent momentum is the best in the country, and it is remarkable from architectural layout to local wooden works. Yuncheng is the hometown of Guan Yu . There is also a Guandi Temple in Changping Village, ten kilometers east of Guandi Temple in Jiezhou. Although it is much smaller, it is Guan Yu's ancestral temple, also known as Guandi's Ancestral Temple.
In addition to Guandi Temple, Yuncheng District is located in Salt Lake District also has the only Yanchi Temple in the country. The three main halls are worshipped in the Pond God, Feng God and Sun God - they are all related to the salt industry. To the south of the Chi Shen Temple is Yuncheng Yanchi.
