Nanxun is popular as "a famous history of China and culture town", "a national civilized town" and "one of the top ten charming towns in China" with a large number of celebrities. As early as the dynasties of Song, Ming, and Qing, there were 41 jinshi, known as the "Three Ge Lao in Nine Miles, Two Shang Shu in Ten Miles".In modern times, Nanxun was also the birthplace of China's silk industry and one of the earliest areas where ethnic industries sprouted. Nearly a hundred wealthy silk merchants emerged, represented by those nicknamed "Four Elephants, Eight Cows, Seventy-two Golden Dogs" , which had a huge impact on the economy and society of Jiangnan and even the whole country.Nanxun District turns out abundant products: Linghu Town under its jurisdiction is a famous freshwater fish production base; the District is famous for various traditional cultural products like Jili Silk, Shanlian Hu writing brush and Shuanglin silk damask as light as the morning mist and as thin as cicada wings.

The year 2021 was the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and of the construction of common prosperity demonstration areas and digital reform. Over the past year, in the face of the complicated development situation and various risks and challenges, Nanxun District earnestly implemented the deployment of its superiors, practised with high cohesion, and gradually gained thriving development momentum.
