天津意为天子渡河的渡口。明朝迁都北京后,距北京仅120公里的天津成为沿海水陆和漕运枢纽,地位十分重要。鸦片战争后,天津开放为通商口岸。经600年努力,天津已经成为中国北方进行国际经济、科技、金融、贸易、文化交流的一个中心。占城市总人口49.5％的天津女人用她们的泼辣、勤奋、率真、智慧、热情和幽默为中国这座大都会的发展撑起“半边天”。 Tianjin means ferry crossing the river. After the capital moved to Beijing in the Ming Dynasty, Tianjin, just 120 kilometers away from Beijing, became a coastal water, land and water transport hub and its status was very important. After the Opium War, Tianjin was opened as a trading port. After 600 years of hard work, Tianjin has become a center for international economic, scientific, technological, financial, trade and cultural exchanges in northern China. With 49.5% of the city’s total population, Tianjin women hold “half the sky” in the development of China’s metropolis with their dashing, diligent, candid, intelligent, enthusiastic and humorous.
