The ancient town of Luomu Ancient Town got its name

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, Emei has more than 2,600 years of human history. Emei is the ancient Shu kingdom, and the earliest appearance of Luomu County should be when King Hui of Qin conquered Shu (316 BC) and moved thousands of Qin people to settle in Shu. "Taiping Huanyu Ji" says: "The Qin River (homophone for Jing) is near Luomu County, and 'the Qin River is 120 miles west of the county (Emei)'". It can be seen that the Qinshui River should be the Jinkou River, and Luomu County should be the Shaping area of ????Ebian, bordering Emei. The main reason is that the Qin people among the immigrants missed the Jingshui River in Qin, and called the Jinkou River water as the Jingshui River for comfort.

According to the "History of the Tang Dynasty": In the second year of Tang Linde (655 AD), in order to appease the Xie people, Tuohe City (today's Emei Shaping) and Mu were built 90 kilometers southeast of the county (Emei). Prefecture, Luomu County. After several evolutions, it was not until the Song Dynasty that Luomu County was moved to Luomu Town in present-day Emei County. "The mountains are high, they are called Emei, and the water is beautiful, they are called Mei". Mount Emei is named after the mountain topography. Emei County is named after Mount Emei, which also leads to the name of Luomu Town...

Luomu town got its name: According to the records of "Jiading Prefecture (Mountains and Rivers)": "Luomeng Mountain", more than 190 miles south of the county (Emei), "Le Shi" said that it is 3 miles north of the old Luomu County, not today's Luomu The town is 20 miles away from the county. According to the "Geographical Records" of the Tang Dynasty: Luomu County was established three years after Yifeng, which is now Luomu Town, not the old Luomu County (Shaping). According to the records of Fang Yu Zhi (historic sites) of the Prefecture: "Tang Luomu County was abandoned". It is named after Luomu Mountain in Yizhong (the Luomu River flows directly into the Dadu River below). Luomu Mountain and Luomu Mountain are homophonic. There are two versions of the same historical records. The homophony is wrong, so what is the use of careful examination.

The name of Qinglong Town: According to the "Yuanhe County Chronicles", in the third year of Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty, Pingqiang County was renamed Emei, and Emei was renamed Qingyi County in the ninth year. In the thirteenth year, the dragon was used to lead the army. Change Qingyi County to Longyou County. According to the history of Emei, the history books show the word "Qinglong" in the two counties of Qingyi and Longyou. Whether this is the reason why Qinglong Town was named is difficult to determine.

During the Republic of China, Emei County had 13 rural areas and 17 township offices. Qinglong was among them and was one of the key towns. According to folklore, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty visited Qinglong when he got sick and sought medical treatment here, and the Yiwang Temple (on the boundary of Hu Village) was built to commemorate his death. There is a dragon's ridge here. The head of the dragon is on the boundary of Sunshine Village (today's Luomu Middle School). The Guluomu Street here should be the homophony of "Longmu" Street, and the tail of the dragon should be Luogang (the homophony of Longgang) on ??the boundary of Shuijing Village. . At the junction of today's Gaoqiao and Luomu towns, there used to be a 2-meter-wide stone arch bridge named "Qinglong Bridge". It was the only place where monks from Lingya Temple went to Qinglongchang to purchase daily necessities (the ruins still exist today). At the foot of Er'e Mountain (a famous Taoist mountain) and Bailu Mountain, there was once a magnificent stone arch, tile and wood structure covered bridge "Dragon and Phoenix Bridge" (under the bridge there were dragon and phoenix head and tail bridge guards to guard it), and a rectangular 2.5-meter-high stone tablet. The three characters "Longfeng Bridge" in seal script are solemn and charming. According to legend, they were written by Lu Chunyang, one of the Eight Immortals. There are stone lions guarding the bridge. Local people said that the model of the Shuangfu Covered Bridge is a reconstruction of the "Dragon and Phoenix Bridge" of the Qinglong Covered Bridge; the stone tablet of the Dragon and Phoenix Bridge was moved to the "Eshan Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Reservoir" as an inscription and still exists. When relevant people talk about cultural relics and historic sites, there are dozens of places named after Qinglong across the country and Sichuan. Replacing them with Luomu Ancient Town is really a last resort. 87-year-old teacher Yang Yueheng said that naming Luomu Town is unacceptable. , it is recommended to name it "Longfeng Town" instead of "Qinglong Town".
