"Ships carrying many aliens arrive in the city, and merchants from
numerous other nations show up as tides rise", this saying portrays the
past grandeur of Quanzhou City, which was reputed as "the largest port in
the east" during the Song and Yuan dynasties (960-1367AD). A grand
performance that mimics "welcoming foreign goods" in ancient times was
held on Quanzhou's Dejimen Square in the morning of Feb. 12th,
reproducing the prosperous scene in the ancient Citong Port (former name
of Quanzhou).
