On the origin of several village names in Nanshan, Yuanqu

First, the origin of the name "hedi village"

Before the relocation of Xiaolangdi immigrants, there was a beautiful and rich village called "hedi village" on the bank of the Yellow River in Nanshan, which was called "Little Beijing in Nanshan".

Before the Qing Dynasty, it was named "hedi village" because its altitude was lower than the riverbed. In the early years of Qing Dynasty, an official made a general survey of the territory and came to hedi village. He was surprised to learn the name of this village! The bottom of the river is where fish, turtles, horses and shrimps live. How do people live? So I thought about changing the bottom of the river into a riverbank, which means protecting the village and the people.

Needless to say, with the protection of this "levee", the village has been in good weather for many years. Even if the rainstorm floods and the river surges, the villagers are still safe and sound. So later, "hedi village" moved away from the bank of the Yellow River and still used the name of this village.

Second, the origin of the name "Anwo Village"

It is said that the Yellow River flows from Shaanxi to Shanxi via Pinglu and flows downstream through Sanmenxia (Shenmen Gate, Renmen Gate and Ghost Gate). Thirty kilometers away, there is a bird's nest-like place surrounded by mountains on three sides. The Yellow River flows through this area, and the gradient difference increases. The river rolled in like bamboo, and it converged only after hitting the cliff like a knife and axe. In ancient times, there were eagles and Jin Siyan who stayed on this cliff. Of course, there were precious bird's nest tonics in the cave.

Legend has it that there are two brothers in the nearby village, and the elder brother acts as the younger brother. Because of the bad living conditions, the two brothers made up their minds to dig up the bird's nest on the cliff. My brother tied the rope around his waist, went down the cliff from a height, got into the cliff hole and dug it out. My brother is dragging a rope on the cliff. That day, I gained a lot. My brother tied half a bag of bird's nest to a rope and let my brother hang it. When my brother saw something more valuable than gold in his hand, he had a bad idea and threw the rope off the cliff. After working for a long time, my brother is exhausted. I fainted when I saw the rope thrown by my brother. I don't know how long it took, but a big eagle circled in the sky, flew to the cliff hole and landed beside his brother. When I saw the body, I opened my mouth and pecked at my chest. The peck was painful and scary, and my brother sat up in fear. He surprised the eagle with this action. Just then, he grabbed the eagle's leg, the eagle fluttered in the air, and people floated into the air, gliding across the Yellow River with buffer and falling to the ground.

In order to commemorate the life-saving sculpture, this bird's nest-like place was named "Carving Nest". After a long time, because carving is homophonic with Diao, carving is also a fierce bird, giving people a sense of insecurity, so it was renamed "Anwo", meaning "enjoyed by Antai". Therefore, the older generation of Nanshan is called "Diaowo" and the younger generation is called "Anwo".

Third, the origin of building place names.

Five Blessingg Creek, formerly known as Guwuxi Creek, is named after its five springs. In the fleeting life, there was a family couple who gave birth to five children. These five brothers are all kind and violent, bullying men and women in this village. They cover the sky and harm their neighbors, and the people dare to be angry and dare not speak. They thought the site belonged to their brother, so they changed the place name to "Wuhu River".

During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, went to Yan 'an for a meeting from Taihang Mountain. When passing by this place, Mr. Zhu learned about the origin of place names and saw that the terrain was on the bank of the Yellow River and the river was adjacent to it. Fight the dragon and hate the tiger, heaven and earth are at odds with people, taboo. Therefore, according to Zhu's proposal, the place name was changed to "River", which meant peace for the country and the people and peace for Five Blessingg.
