Where is the magic capital?

The magic capital is Shanghai. The reason why Shanghai is called the Magic Capital actually comes from the best-selling novel Magic Capital by Japanese writer Murakami. In the book, Shanghai is called the magic capital for the first time. The book describes the magical phenomenon of cultural conflict and infiltration between Shanghai Concession and the county seat during the period of Shanghai Concession, and summarizes Shanghai with magic, so Shanghai is gradually called the magic capital by everyone.

The Historical Evolution of Shanghai

Shanghai belonged to the State of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period. The Warring States period belonged to Yue State and Chu State successively. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Shanghai Beach was the fief of Shen Jun, the king of Chu, so it was called "Shen". In the Jin Dynasty, because fishermen created a fishing tool "Hu", the place where the river flowed into the sea was called "Hu", so the lower reaches of Songjiang were called "Hu", and later it was changed to "Hu", so Shanghai was called "Shanghai" for short.

In the second year of Chunhua in the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 99 1 year), due to the continuous shallow siltation in the upper reaches of Songjiang, the coastline moved eastward, and it was inconvenient for large ships to get in and out, so foreign ships had to berth at Shanghai Pu, a tributary of Songjiang (Huangpu River near the Bund to Shiliupu today). In the third year of Xianchun in the Southern Song Dynasty (AD 1267), he set up a town in Shanghai Puxi Bank, named "Shanghai Town". In the 29th year of Yuan Dynasty (AD 1292), the central government set aside Shanghai Town from Huating County and approved the establishment of Shanghai County, marking the beginning of the establishment of Shanghai.
