Deletion[edit]

I removed this text from the Understand section:

Taibo, the eldest son of emperor Zhouwu in the West Zhou Dynasty came here from the inland of China. He introduced the inland culture to the south and created the Wu culture. The place used to be rich in tin deposits during the Zhou and Qin dynasties. As the tin was depleted by the end of the Qin Dynasty, the place was called Wuxi, meaning “ a place without tin”.Wuxi City is an important birthplace of Jiangnan Civilization and Wu Culture. Legend has it that Wuxi was named Wuxi because the tin mines in Xishan were exhausted. There were written records in the late Shang Dynasty. In the fifth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (202 BC), Wuxi County was first established, and later it belonged to Changzhou Prefecture for a long time.

To me this seemed encylopedic, utterly pointless in a travel guide. Pashley (talk) 13:29, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I generally agree and thank you, but a very brief explanation of Wuxi as meaning "place without tin" and explaining that the tin was all gone by the end of the Qin Dynasty seems cool. Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:29, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
