The Yangtze River and its largest tributary, the Han River, meet in the city, forming a pattern of Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang standing across the river, commonly known as the three towns of Wuhan. In the city, rivers and lakes are intertwined, and the water area accounts for a quarter of the city's total area. Wuhan is the core city of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the strategic fulcrum of the rise of the central region, and a pilot area for comprehensive innovation and reform. It is one of the three major intellectual-intensive areas in the country. As the economic and geographic center of China, Wuhan is known as the “Nine Provinces Link”. It is the largest water, land and air transportation hub in inland China, and the only city in central China that can directly fly to five continents in the world. According to the requirements of the National Development and Reform Commission, Wuhan is accelerating the construction of a national central city supported by the four functions of a national economic center, a high-level scientific and technological innovation center, a business logistics center and an international exchange center. Wuhan is a national historical and cultural city and an important birthplace of Chu culture. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Wuhan has been an important military and commercial city in southern China. The name of Jiangcheng began in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote here that "the jade flute is played in the Yellow Crane Tower, and the plum blossoms fall in Jiangcheng in May". Therefore, Wuhan has been called Jiangcheng since ancient times. Since the Yuan Dynasty, it has become the provincial government of Huguang and Guangxi, and during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has become "the first prosperous place in Chu" and one of the four gatherings in the world. In the late Qing Dynasty, Hankou opened a port to set up a concession and the Westernization Movement, making Wuhan an important economic center in modern China, known as the "Oriental Chicago". Wuhan is the first place of the Revolution of 1911, and has become the political, military and cultural center of the country several times in modern history.
