Xiànzhǔ

Xianzhu was a market district in the coastal country of historical Ninghai, within Taizhou. Song records list a commercial tax station and a salt-selling establishment here, alongside those of other towns in the prefecture. Later gazetteers described markets in the Xianzhu district, including places where goods were sold on particular days. These records show a network of small market settlements linked to the larger county and its coast.
