In the Palazzo Vecchio, the town hall of Florence, Italy, there is a map of China drawn
in 1575. This map highlights Ningbo as one of the few cities marked,
symbolizing a historic friendship between the two cities. Centuries
ago, these two cities were closely connected through the Maritime
Silk Road. Today, they have established a sister city relationship,
marked by numerous exchanges over the past decade.
The relationship between the two cities is an example
of Ningbo as the forefront of cultural exchanges between China
and the world. Ningbo is not only
a significant origin of Chinese civilization, but also a major
cultural and intellectual hub during the Song and Ming dynasties.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the "Zhedong School", a school
of thought in east Zhejiang
province, represented by Wang Yangming's thoughts on "Unity of
Knowledge and Action," had great cultural influence in China and beyond. The Tianyi Pavilion is
famous for its rich collection of books in East Asia and around the world. In modern
times, thanks to its cultural legacy, Ningbo is home to many renowned scientists
such as Tu Youyou, Tong Dizhou, Tong
Zhipeng, Zhu Gaofeng, and Zheng
Weimin in fields like biology, medicine, communications, and
supercomputing, earning Ningbo the
name of "Home of Chinese Academicians."
Ningbo is not only an ancient
city with rich cultural heritage, but also a trade port connecting
the world. Since modern times, merchants and entrepreneurs from
Ningbo had developed their
business globally and established "Ningbo townsmen association" everywhere. Today
the Zhoushan port of Ningbo has
maintained world's largest port in cargo throughput for 15
consecutive years while Ningbo's
enterprises and industries have made their own names worldwide. In
2023, added value of Ningbo's
high-tech industry reached 332.288 billion
yuan, and the value of new products reached 813.56 billion yuan, ranking first in
Zhejiang province. In April 2024, 7,900 new energy vehicles have been
exported from Ningbo to
global market.
