Answer: Guangling

Knowledge expansion:

Guangling is the predecessor of Yangzhou and the ancient name of Yangzhou, so it can also be said that Guangling is Yangzhou, but strictly speaking, Guangling is actually a small part of the center of Yangzhou, just like the current Guangling District is the most central main urban area of ​​Yangzhou City.

Yangzhou is also known as Guangling, Jiangdu and Weiyang. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was called "Guangling", "Jiangdu", etc. In the eighth year of Tang Wude's reign, it was called "Yangzhou". In June 1914, Jiangsu Province was divided into five roads, and Jiangdu County belonged to Huaiyang Road.

In 1949, the Second Administrative District of Jiangsu-Anhui Border Region was renamed as Yangzhou Administrative District of Central Jiangsu Administrative Region, and the Commissioner's Office was located in Yangzhou City.

Because Weiyang itself as a place name is the birthplace of ancient Yangzhou, some people in history used Weiyang to refer to Yangzhou. Over time, Weiyang became another name for Yangzhou.
