A major lower Yangtze city, canal hub, and commercial center of Jiangsu, positioned near the junction of the Yangtze and Grand Canal. It rose to exceptional prominence as a center of transport, salt, and long-distance trade. In the context of Syriac Christianity, Yangzhou is known for a Christian tombstone dated around 1317, found in 1981, which provides important Yuan-period evidence for the Church of the East in the lower Yangtze region.5, 6
