Over two thousand years ago, after the Coastal Aristocratic Family migrated southwards, established their capital in Jinling, conquered Jiangdong, and managed this area.
Since the establishment of Yuzhang Prefecture, Yuzhang has historically been known as the Land of Fish and Rice.
Yuzhang has many mountains, but only the northern parts—Yuzhang, Pengli, Xunyang, and Linchuan Prefectures, have large plains and basins.
This also means that the five major water systems of Yuzhang—the Gan River, Fu River, Xin River, Rao River, and Xiu River—originating from their sources, all converge within these four prefectures.
In the end, these water flows come together to form the magnificent expanse of the thousand-mile great Pengli marshland.
Benefiting from this vast marshland, the land around Pengli Lake is fertile, with a hundred thousand qing of good farmland cultivated to feed the surrounding six hundred thousand households.
