Tell me about the origin of a place name

Tell me about the origin of a place name, Guangzhou Yangcheng.

Wuyang Mountain is on the mountain to the west of the park. On the top of the mountain stands a stone statue of Wuyang, which is 1 1 m high. Legend has it that in the ancient Zhou Dynasty, five immortals rode sheep with six ears of grain to Chuting (known as Guangzhou in ancient times) and gave them to the people in the city, wishing them never famine. The fairy's words disappeared and the sheep turned to stone. Wuyang stone statue was created by artists according to this myth. This is why Guangzhou uses "Yangcheng" and "Guangzhou" as pronouns and abbreviations. The statue of Wuyang is carved from granite, which is implicit and poetic and is regarded as the symbol of Guangzhou.

The origin of Chang' an Chang' an place names

(1) the earliest ancient capital of China.

Xi 'an, formerly known as Xi 'an, was the capital of China in its heyday (the Han Dynasty was strong and the Tang Dynasty was prosperous), meaning "long-term stability". Chang 'an, Cairo, Athens and Rome are also called "the four ancient capitals of the world".

In the fifth year (202 BC), Gaodi county was established, and its capital was established here seven years later. Since then, the Western Han Dynasty, New China, the Eastern Han Dynasty (early Xian Di), the Western Jin Dynasty (Jin Dynasty), the former Zhao Dynasty, the former Qin Dynasty, the later Qin Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty all used it as the capital, and the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms Wei Dynasty and the Five Dynasties Tang Dou once used it as the capital. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the green forest was red-browed, and at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the peasant uprising army led by Huang Chao also built its capital here. The Han and Tang dynasties were also the center of foreign economic and cultural exchanges. In the Western Han Dynasty, there were residential areas specially designed for foreigners in the city. There are tens of thousands of foreigners living in the Tang Dynasty from all over Asia, as far away as Persia and big food.

There are two old cities: when Huidi built Seoul, it was 25 kilometers northwest of Xi 'an and Fiona Fang today; When Emperor Wendi built the city in Sui Dynasty, it was named Daxing City, including Ancheng, East, South and West Districts, and Fiona Fang, 36 kilometers away.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, in the first year of God Blessing (AD 904), God Blessing moved the capital to Luoyang. Because most of the houses in the city were demolished, a new city was built in the north of the old city, which is now Xi 'an City. After liberation, archaeological excavations were carried out on the ruins of Han and Sui cities.

(The picture shows the recovery of Tang Changan)

(2) The Western Han Dynasty, Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty all established their capitals in Chang 'an, so it was often called Chang 'an after the Tang Dynasty. It doesn't necessarily mean the real Chang 'an. In Li Bai's poem Jinling, he wrote: "The southern flower day of the Jin Dynasty was here in the old Chang 'an. "After the southern crossing of the Jin Dynasty, Jiankang (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province) was the capital, but Li Bai still used Chang 'an to refer to Jiankang.

The origin of the place name Tian Heng! It was named after Tian Heng, King of Qi at the end of Qin Dynasty, and 500 righteous men lived here, with a history of more than 2,000 years.

The place name Tian Heng was named in memory of Tian Heng, King of Qi.

Tian Heng (? -202 BC), one of the heroes at the end of Qin Dynasty, was originally an aristocrat of Qi State. After the uprising in Daze Township, Guangwu, Chen Sheng, Tian Heng and their brothers also opposed the independence of Qin, and the three brothers successively occupied Qi as king. After Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang unified the world, Tian Heng refused to submit to the Han Dynasty and led 500 people to flee to the island. Liu Bangpa invited him, and Tian Heng was forced to take a boat to Luoyang. On the way, shouyangshan, three miles away from Luoyang, committed suicide. Five hundred subordinates on the island heard that Tian Heng was dead and all committed suicide.

After Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang unified the world, Tian Heng refused to submit to the Han Dynasty and led 500 people to flee to the island. Liu Bangpa invited him, and Tian Heng was forced to take a boat to Luoyang. On the way, shouyangshan, three miles away from Luoyang, committed suicide. Five hundred subordinates on the island heard that Tian Heng was dead and all committed suicide.

Tian Heng was the leader of the uprising at the end of Qin Dynasty in China. Originally an aristocrat of Qi State. After the Chen Sheng Uprising, his brother Tian Yun rose up against Qin in Di (now southeast of gaoqing county, Shandong Province) and became the King of Qi. Hou Tian Fei was defeated in the war with Qin Jun.

Tian Heng's elder brother, Tian Rong, established himself as the King of Qi and Tian Heng as the general, occupying all the land. Xiang Yu became a vassal after he was called the overlord of the place of Chu. Tian Rong was dissatisfied with Xiang Yu, because he didn't send troops to help Chu and didn't seal the king, so he contacted General Zhao Chen Yulai to oppose Chu.

Xiang Yu was very angry when he heard the news, so he set out for the northern expedition to Qi. Tian Rong, the king of Qi, was defeated and fled to the plain, where people killed Tian Rong. Later, Xiang Yu burned the battlements of the capital of Qi to the ground and slaughtered them everywhere. The people of Qi couldn't stand it anymore, so they rallied against him. Tian Heng, his younger brother, collected thousands of scattered soldiers from Qi. But attacked Xiang Yu in Chengyang. At this time, Hanwang Liu Bang led the vassal's army to defeat the Chu army and enter Pengcheng. After hearing the news, Xiang Yu let go of the Qi army and went back to attack the Han soldiers in Pengcheng. Later, he confronted the Han army many times and was deadlocked in Xingyang. So, Tian Heng once again recovered the towns of Qi, and made Tian Guang, the son of Tian Rong, the king of Qi, and Tian Heng as the prime minister, arbitrarily ruling the state affairs. All political affairs, big or small, are decided by Tian Heng.

Three years after Tian Heng pacified Qi, Liu Bang sent Li to Qi to lobby Tian Guang, the king of Qi, and Tian Heng, the prime minister, to make them submit to the Han Dynasty. Tian Heng thought it was feasible, so he lifted Qi's defense against the Han army. Han Xin, the general of Han Dynasty, originally led troops to March to Qi. At first, Qi sent Hua and troops to defend against the Han army. When the Han envoy arrived, he gave up the readiness to defend the city, let the soldiers drink, and sent envoys to make peace with the Han dynasty. However, after Zhao and Yan were pacified, Han Xin used Kuai Tong's plan to cross the river plain, suddenly attacked, defeated the garrison troops, and then attacked Linzi. Tian Guang, King of Qi, and Tian Heng, Prime Minister, were very angry when they saw the sudden appearance of the Han army. They thought they were betrayed by Li Shiqi and immediately cooked Li Shiqi. Tian Guang, King of Qi, fled to Gaomi to the east, and Tian Heng, Prime Minister, fled to Bo Yang. Tian Guang, the garrison commander, fled to Chengyang, and General Tian led the troops to Jiaodong. At this time, Chu sent Long Min to lead an army to save Qi, and Tian Guang and Long Min joined forces in Gaomi. Han generals Han Xin and Cao Can defeated Qi Chu in Gaomi, killed Long Qie, the king of Chu, and captured Tian Guang, the king of Qi. Han will continue to pursue Guan Ying and capture Tian Guang, the commander of Qi State. Guan Ying moved on and arrived in Bai Yang. When Tian Heng heard that Tian Guang, the king of Qi, died, he established himself as the king of Qi and turned to fight Guan Ying. After the victory, Tian Heng's army was defeated by Guan Ying. Tian Heng fled to Emperor Liang and returned to Peng Yue. At this time, the mercenaries beam, remain neutral between Chu and Han, both as Hanwang and as the king of Chu. After Han Xin killed the general of Chu, Long Zhi, he ordered to March on Jiaodong and defeated Tian in the battle. Han Xin also ordered Guan Ying to pursue Qi Jiangtian, and he was defeated in Qiancheng and cut it. In this way, Han Xin pacified Qi, wrote to Liu Bang and asked him to be a fake king of Qi. Liu Bang was forced by the situation and made Han Xin king of Qi.

More than a year later, Liu Bang destroyed Xiang Yu, established himself as emperor, and named Peng Yue Liang Wang. Afraid of being killed, Tian Heng led more than 500 men to escape to the sea and live on an island (now Tian Heng Island, Jimo, Shandong). After hearing the news, Liu Bang thought that the Tian Heng brothers had pacified Qi, and most of the wise men of Qi were attached to him. Now if we want him stranded in the sea without being collected, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe in the future. So he sent messengers to forgive Tian Heng's sin and called him to North Korea. However, Tian Heng, who declined politely, said, "I once boiled Li Chiqi, the messenger of your majesty. Now I heard that Li Chiqi's younger brother Li Shang was a very talented general in the Han Dynasty, so I was too scared to go to Beijing according to the imperial edict and asked you to allow me to become a civilian and stay on this island." When the messenger came back to report, Liu Bang immediately wrote a letter to Li Shang of Wei, saying, "Tian Heng, king of Qi, is going to Beijing. Anyone who dares to move his entourage will be beheaded at once! " Then an emissary was sent to tell Emperor Tian Heng's instructions to Li Shang, saying, "If Tian Heng comes to Beijing, he can be king at the maximum and Hou at the minimum;" If you don't come, send troops to kill it. " So Tian Heng and his two public guests took a post car to Luoyang.

Thirty miles away from Luoyang, there is a place called corpse township (now shouyangshan Town, yanshi city City, Henan Province). On this day, Tian Heng and others came to this post station. Tian Heng said to the Chinese ambassador, "As a minister, you should take a new bath when you meet the son of heaven." So I settled down. Tian Heng said to the generals, "I, Tian Heng and Hanwang, were orphans in the south at first. Now Hanwang is the son of heaven, and I, Tian Heng, have become conquered people. It is a great shame to ask the north to serve him. What's more, I cooked and killed Li Shiqi, and then I came to serve the same master with his brother Li Shang. Even if he is afraid of the emperor's letters and dares not touch me, shouldn't I be ashamed in my heart? Besides, your majesty asked me to go to Beijing only for my sake. Now the emperor is in Luoyang, and now I have beheaded my head and galloped for 30 miles. My appearance has not changed, but I can still see my true face. " After that, he committed suicide, ordered two public servants to hold his head in both hands, and followed the messenger to fly into North Korea to tell Liu Bang. Liu Bang said, "Alas! It's amazing to have such a trip! Starting from ordinary people, the three brothers became kings one after another. Isn't it a wise man? " Liu bang couldn't help crying for him. Then Liu Bang worshipped Tian Heng's two public servants as teachers, and sent two thousand foot soldiers to bury Tian Heng at the funeral of the vassal.

After Tian Heng was buried, two men dug a pit next to Tian Heng's grave, then committed suicide, fell into the pit and died with Tian Heng. Liu Bang was surprised when he heard that Tian Heng's public servants were all talented people. Liu Bang heard that Tian Heng's troops still had 500 people on the island, so he sent messengers to call them to Beijing. After these 500 people went to Beijing, they all committed suicide when they heard that Tian Heng was dead. Therefore, Tian Heng brothers are indeed people who can get the support of the wise.

The origin of the name of Panlongcheng and the southern soil of Shang Dynasty

Li Xueqin, chief scientist of Xia, Shang and Zhou Dating Project and researcher of Institute of History of China Academy of Sciences.

Three towns in Wuhan, located at the intersection of the Yangtze River and Hanshui River, are the key positions that have a very important influence on the national politics, economy and culture. It is no accident that Panlongcheng appeared here. It is closely related to the three towns in Wuhan.

Wuhan is a prosperous city because of martial arts. From the beginning, we noticed the military nature of Panlongcheng. Many weapons were found there, which shows this point. But it's not just a military city. Far from the commercial capital of the Central Plains, it is impossible to maintain long-term rule by military force alone. It must rely on the effective support of the local people, have a fairly broad foundation, and establish the rule over the local people. In this sense, it should be a vassal. Whether the Shang Dynasty can use the word "vassal" can be discussed again. But there must be an administrative regime structure, otherwise it cannot exist. Although we haven't dug up ancient writing materials in Panlongcheng to prove that this is a concrete feudal country, we can still sort out a clue by combining historical documents.

We can make an analogy with some feudal countries in the Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou Dynasty in Beijing was a feudal Yan State. Yan State is surrounded by Shanrong culture. The cultural outlook here is quite different from Zhou Culture, but the Zhou Dynasty established a feudal country here. This feudal capital is bigger than Panlongcheng. This city, together with the ritual vessels unearthed in the tomb of the ruler, is the same dynasty, and even the characters are the same. This is because the rule was established by the dynasty, and the rulers were people of the dynasty. No matter which nationality, they must follow the ritual and music system of the dynasty. The pottery and weapons used by the lower class residents have local characteristics, indicating that they belong to the local ethnic group. The same is true of Panlongcheng. Bronzes and jades unearthed from aristocratic tombs, as well as the scale and shape of the city, reflect the ritual and music system and cultural characteristics, which are consistent with those of Shang rulers. Therefore, in Panlongcheng, there is a ruling institution that represents the Shang Dynasty and its established rule.

The culture on the city of Panlong is divided into seven periods, with continuity between each period. It was built in four phases, and there is a basic problem before it is built. Brasilia is the capital of Brazil and Islamabad is the capital of Pakistan. Both are to move people here first, immigrate to a certain extent, then build a city, and then the city will develop greatly. It is conceivable that the same is true of Panlongcheng. So I said that businessmen should form a certain settlement here earlier, and the construction of the city wall may be later. Considering this situation, combined with the measured data of carbon 14, it is more appropriate to say that Panlongcheng was 3500 years ago.

In connection with the historical evolution of Wuhan, we can adopt a retrospective method. Everyone knows the late history of Wuhan. Going back, it is also clear when it comes to the Western Zhou Dynasty. The name Hubei can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. There was Ezhou at that time, and there was Ezhou. From the Zhou Dynasty to the Shang Dynasty, there are also some records in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. During the Wuding period of Shang Dynasty, Wuding ordered a general to raise a man to conquer the tiger's edge from here, and "lifting" was to carry water in Wuhan. His route of conquest is the same as that of King Zhao of Zhou. He spread out the three armies, saying that the right follows me, the middle follows me and the left follows Zeng. It can be seen that this military array was laid out in Wuhan at that time. In the late Shang dynasty, the Shang king may not have arrived in Hubei. Oracle Bone Inscriptions mentioned a square country, I didn't recognize it. It is also found in a bronze inscription on Shamao Mountain in South Han, so this place is in Hanyang and Wuhan. Going back from the late Shang Dynasty, we arrived at Panlongcheng. So I said that this history is quite relevant.

Let Panlongcheng become a household name.

Zou Heng, executive director of China Archaeological Society and professor of Peking University.

Panlongcheng was discovered very early. A large number of exquisite bronzes were unearthed from the site, but due to objective reasons (no museum), these cultural relics could not be displayed, which greatly reduced the popularity of Panlong City. In fact, Panlongcheng is well-known abroad, and many foreigners and scholars want to visit Panlongcheng. But because there is no museum, people who want to see it can't be received. Sanxingdui in Guanghan City, Sichuan Province has planned to invest hundreds of millions of yuan for protection and development, and to build a museum. The site of Panlongcheng is earlier than Sanxingdui era and has its unique historical value. To this end, I would like to make the following suggestions to the leaders:

Do a good job in publicity and intensify efforts to make Panlongcheng's reputation a household name in Wuhan. As the source of Wuhan's urban development, Panlongcheng has a rich cultural background. If it is well publicized and built, it will definitely enhance Wuhan's popularity. City leaders have the boldness of vision to turn Panlongcheng into a signboard in Wuhan. Protect, develop and build this treasure land of Wuhan, and never leave this treasure land in your own hands.

There were few city sites in the early Shang Dynasty in China. In addition to the shopping malls in Zhengzhou and Yanshi, it is necessary to count Panlongcheng. Sanxingdui in Sichuan and Wucheng in Jiangxi are not as good as Panlongcheng in a sense. Neither of the above two places is strictly a business culture. Panlongcheng is a commercial culture (not a local culture). The scale of Panlongcheng (1000×1100m) is rare in China. Its status was also very high in the early Shang Dynasty. Bronzes found in Hunan and other places are not a series of Shang culture. It shows that Panlongcheng arrived directly under the central rule of Shang Dynasty. Wuhan at that time was the physical evidence of the political forces of Shang Dynasty moving southward.

Panlongcheng is not only the signboard of Wuhan, but also the signboard of Hubei Province. The exquisite cultural relics unearthed in Panlongcheng should be displayed. With the opening up of Panlong City, traffic problems need to be solved urgently. Now there are about 2 kilometers of tractor roads entering Panlong City. This is very unfavorable to the opening up of Panlongcheng, resulting in a short journey, but it is difficult to reach. Leaders at all levels should attach importance to and seize the opportunity to speed up the development and construction of Panlong City, make this famous historical heritage famous at home and abroad, and add luster to Wuhan's economic construction.

The Historical Position and Protection and Utilization of Panlongcheng

Li, the chief scientist of Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties Dating Project, is the doctoral supervisor of Peking University Institute of Archaeology and Culture.

First of all, I think the discovery of the site of Panlongcheng can be traced back to a relatively distant point. In fact, it is an important breakthrough in the integration of the civilizations in the Yangtze River valley and the Yellow River valley, and it has formed a very important breakthrough in the unified civilization of China. Before that, the culture of the Yellow River basin and the culture of the Yangtze River basin were often in a situation of confrontation and exchange, and you came and went. Stability is the appearance of Panlongcheng in the early Shang Dynasty, which really brought the middle reaches of the Yangtze River into the political map of Shang Dynasty. In this sense, I think it should be a very important starting point for the formation of Chinese civilization and Chinese unified civilization.

The second problem is the protection and utilization of this site. How to make this very important ancient city site in the early Shang Dynasty be well protected and play its role needs our serious treatment.

First, after the publication of national key cultural relics protection units, the scope of cultural relics protection should be delineated on the basis of clarifying its scope.

Second, it is necessary to formulate the protection and utilization plan of the Shang Dynasty site in Panlongcheng and bring it into the overall planning of Wuhan. This plan involves not only cultural relics, but also the surrounding environment, including the relocation of residents in the reserve.

Specific to work in Panlongcheng. We should put forward a long-term plan from the archaeological point of view, within five years, 10 years. The plan should be consistent with and become a part of the overall protection and utilization. I think many problems in Panlongcheng have not been solved. The first is the base of the palace, and the second is the city wall. I think the stake outside the south gate is more important. I guess it must be the passage behind the city gate, which is the bridge on the moat. Several cities found in the north do not have such facilities, so we can do some work in the future. There is also a northeast corner of the city, just around the corner of the city. I found a house at the corner, which is very similar to the current turret. In addition, there are handicraft workshops. Is it cast copper? Still making pottery?

As for future use, the first thing is to protect it. Within the scope of protection, Yangjiawan and Louziwan are now involved. Just now, the district said it was determined to move. I think this decision is very good. Another question is where the museum will be built. It is impossible to restore the open-air palace base. In the past, we used to cover it with earth, which is of course good, but people can't watch it. Only when they can see can they use it. It is suggested that the Municipal Preparatory Office and Panlongcheng Museum should first grasp the priorities, prepare the overall protection and utilization plan as soon as possible, and make a good planning plan.

Early Shang Cultural Center in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River

Shi Quan, Professor of Historical Geography and Doctoral Supervisor of Wuhan University.

The site of Panlongcheng in Liudian Village, huangpi district, Wuhan, is still rich in rammed earth walls, large palace abutments, tombs of noble officials, hand-made workshops and other relics, with a scale of 1. 1 square kilometer. It is an advanced site in the early Shang Dynasty about 3,500 years ago. Its cultural characteristics are more similar to the commercial culture in the Central Plains, forming a local type of early commercial culture in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. The types of Panlongcheng are widely distributed and found in many places along Jianghan Plain and Dongting Lake, indicating that Panlongcheng was a central city in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River established by Shang Dynasty to control the soil in the south, and it was the political, economic and military center of the region at that time.

Cities are the product of the combination of human culture and natural environment. Panlongcheng is located at the intersection of Hanshui River and Yangtze River. Rich in products, convenient transportation and superior ecological environment. From the Neolithic Age to the Xia Dynasty, many primitive residents lived here. These favorable conditions were the basis for the Shang Dynasty to establish a central city here, and relying on this basis, it achieved the goal of unified governance of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and completed its military, political and economic goals.

Panlongcheng is located in the same geographical unit as today's Wuhan and is the source of Wuhan's urban development. Its establishment and development had a great influence on the process of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in the early Shang Dynasty. Its early urban civilization also played a positive role in the urban development in the middle and late Shang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty. Using the method of historical geography, taking Panlongcheng as an opportunity, analyzing and studying the formation and development of Wuhan city is of positive significance to the urban development and the construction of a famous historical and cultural city in Wuhan today.

Four paragraphs of Wuhan's "Urban Times"

Feng Tianyu is the director and doctoral supervisor of China Traditional Culture Research Center of Wuhan University.

The determination of a city's "urban age" must be systematically investigated in the process of its occurrence and development. As for Wuhan's "urban age", from the perspective of the stage development of urban history, it can be divided into four levels for textual research.

1. Panlongcheng, located in the suburb of Wuhan today (only 5 kilometers away from the center of Wuhan), was built in Shang Dynasty. It is the residence of representatives sent to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and may be the capital of Fang. Taking Panlongcheng as the source of Wuhan, from the ground, Panlongcheng is within the "Great Wuhan" and only 10 from the "Little Wuhan" (urban area); Functionally, a large number of archaeological materials of Panlong City show the political, military, religious and economic functions of the city. After the city was abandoned, its functions were continued and passed down by other cities that gradually emerged in Wuhan. Accordingly, the "city age" of Wuhan is about 3500 years.

Second, the establishment of counties in Wuhan began in the Han Dynasty. In the sixth year of Emperor Gaozu, Jiangxia County was separated from Nanjun County, and now Wuhan is in the county. Shaxian county belongs to Jiangxia county, covering the whole urban area of Wuhan today. During the Three Kingdoms period, Jiangxia County of Wu ruled Hanyang Lushan (Guishan) first, and then moved to Wuchang Jiangxia Mountain (Sheshan). Therefore, today's Wuhan area is designated as the county administrative office, which began in the Western Han Dynasty, about 2 100 years ago; However, the county government was located in the present urban area of Wuhan, starting from the Three Kingdoms Wu, about 1700 years ago.

3. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Ezhou ruled Jiangxia County (now Wuchang District of Wuhan City) and Yunzhou ruled Hanyang County (now Hanyang District of Wuhan City), separated by a river, and the situation between the two cities was settled. Wuhan changed from "Twin Cities" to "Three Towns" because the Hanshui River changed from the northern foot of Guishan Mountain to the Yangtze River in the middle of Ming Dynasty, and Hankou was separated from Hanyang. Hankou is a commercial town in central Li Zhuo, which started in the middle and late Ming Dynasty and flourished in the Qing Dynasty. Together with Beijing, Suzhou and Florida, it is also called "the four largest gatherings in the world". It is also called "four famous towns" with Jingdezhen, Zhuxian Town and Foshan Town. Some scholars call the transformation of the city's main functions from politics and military to economy "urban revolution", and Hankou is a typical product of "urban revolution".

Fourth, in June of 1858, Tianjin Treaty was signed with Britain and France respectively. 186 1 March, Hankou officially opened. Since then, Britain, France, Russia, Germany and Japan have set up concessions in Hankou, and more western countries have traded with China and set up factories, foreign companies, schools and hospitals. From the end of 19 to the beginning of the 20th century, Zhang Zhidong, Governor of Huguang, established large-scale modern machinery industries in Wuhan, such as Hanyang Iron Works, Hanyang Arsenal, Silk Cloth Yarn and Hemp Fourth Bureau, and also reformed academies, established schools, built dikes and paved roads, laying a foundation for the economic, cultural and municipal construction of Wuhan as a modern metropolis. Therefore, the opening of Hankou in the middle of19th century and the supervision of Hubei by Zhang Zhidong at the end of19th century are the starting points of Wuhan's transformation from a medieval ancient town to a modern metropolis. In addition, as a famous historical and cultural city, Wuhan's urban style can be defined as Jiangcheng style, Chu culture style and industrial and commercial metropolis style.

The origin of the place name "Tian Heng" in Jimo was named in memory of General Tian Heng and 500 martyrs.

The origin of the place name "Tian Heng" (within 50 words) To understand this question, we must first know who Tian Heng is!

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng responded in succession, and Tian Heng, a descendant of Qi State, was one of them. Later, Liu Bang unified the world, and Tian Heng was unwilling to fail, so he took his 500 soldiers and hid on Tian Heng Island in Shandong (of course, there was no such name at that time). Because Tian Heng was very popular, Liu Bang was worried about his future trouble, so he made an imperial edict saying that Tian Heng could be vassal if he defected, or he would be completely destroyed. For the lives of 500 soldiers, Tian Heng took two people to see Liu Bang as envoys of the Han Dynasty.

Originally, if things were like this, maybe everything would be fine, but along the way, Liu Bang's emissaries kept sneering at Tian Heng, so when he was only three miles away from Beijing, Tian Heng was unwilling to be humiliated and committed suicide, and asked his men to bring his head to Liu Bang to express his unyielding will to death, and at the same time asked Liu Bang to save the lives of 500 people on the island. After seeing Tian Heng's head, Liu Bang ordered reburial and sent people to the isolated island to appease the 500 soldiers, but immediately, two of Tian Heng's followers committed suicide at Tian Heng's grave.

Finally, it is also the place where my eyes are wet when I read this story. After learning of Tian Heng's death, 500 soldiers knelt on the island to offer sacrifices to Tian Heng and committed collective suicide.

The neighborhood where 500 soldiers lived was later called Tian Heng Town, which has a history of more than 2,000 years.

The origin of a place name in Zhenjiang does not exceed 50 words. Zhenjiang is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu Province, China, which is located in the southwest of Jiangsu Province, the eastern coast of China and the south of Jiangsu Province. It was called Runzhou in ancient times and was the capital of Jiangsu Province during the Republic of China. It is an important part of the center of the northern wing of the Yangtze River Delta, the core city of Nanjing metropolitan area and the national demonstration area of modernization in southern Jiangsu. The Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal meet here, coordinating the "river overpass" in China, which is known as "the best in the world".

Zhenjiang is a famous land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. There are many places of interest in the city, such as Jinshan Temple and Xijindu, as well as famous institutions of higher learning such as Jiangsu University and Jiangsu University of Science and Technology.

The origin of the place name Tian Heng is very simple. In a word, Tian Heng was an aristocrat of the old State of Qi. Together with his brother Tian Xian, he set out to rebuild the State of Qi and later became the King of Qi. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, 500 people fled to an island in the east of Jimo (now Tian Heng Island). In 202 BC, Emperor Gaozu ordered him to go to Luoyang, and he was forced to go. Because I didn't want to be a vassal of Han, I committed suicide on the way. Five hundred people who stayed on the island committed suicide after hearing the news. Tian Heng Island, located in Hengmen Bay in the eastern waters of Jimo County, is famous for the collective martyrdom of 500 brave men in Tian Heng. Tianheng Mountain Scenic Area is located on the west side of Ya Dan in the north of Penglai City.
