There are two cities in the world that were reconstructed as World Cultural Heritage due to the destruction of World War II artillery. One is Warsaw in Poland and the other is Taierzhuang in Shandong. Taierzhuang is famous for the greatness of Taierzhuang during the Anti-Japanese War, but before that, the history of Taierzhuang has been very long. The ancient city began in the Qin and Han Dynasties, developed in the Tang and Song Dynasties, prospered in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and has the title of "the first village in the world" (Qing Xiaolong). The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal passes through Taierzhuang, a rare water city in the north. 1938, the Japanese invaders damaged 20,000 people here, which is the biggest victory in the Chinese frontal war against Japan. This beautiful ancient city was thus destroyed in the artillery. On April 8, 2008, the Zaozhuang Municipal Government officially announced the start of the reconstruction of the ancient city of Taierzhuang in the event of commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Taierzhuang War. On May 1, 2010, Taierzhuang officially opened the city. After the reconstruction of the ancient city of Taierzhuang, the river is densely covered, and the boat is like a river in the south. More weeping willows are planted on the shore. The ancient city covers an area of 2 square kilometers and is one of the largest ancient cities in China. The streets and houses are mostly in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Taierzhuang Ancient City, known by the World Tourism Organization as the living ancient canal and the only remaining heritage village of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.
