The origin of Jiajiang's name from ancient times to the present.

Jiajiang has a long history. Summer is the land of Liangzhou, and Han is the land of Bashu. Sui (AD 593) built a county, named after the natural victory of "two mountains facing each other, one river flows north".

Expanding knowledge place names are the names people give to a place. At first, every place had one or more names. When people live or pass by, a name is recognized and spread. With the change of historical dynasties, place names have been affected and have been constantly developing and changing, or some place names have been used since ancient times, and some place names have been changed many times. At present, the identification of place names is generally named by the county place name leading group (place name office), and some important place names have to be renamed and even reported to the municipal, provincial and central authorities for approval.

Place names are closely related to the whole society and are the product of human history. Inaccurate place names will bring inconvenience to people's daily life. During the Cultural Revolution, place names were unstable. Only in 24 1 villages in the county, there are 156 names with duplicate names or inappropriate names. For example, the original "yujiang county, Ganlin, Xinxin, Wufeng, Qingzhou, Wuchang, Nan 'an, Huatou, Ma Xie and Liu Ma Communes" all have brigades named after the "Red Flag"; Teahouses and ZTE Commune simply use numbers as their names, and they are arranged from one to ten, which makes people dizzy and unable to find their way. There are 40 streets, roads and lanes in the county, and 3 1 has the same name or incorrect name. For example, if Zheng Xue Street, Miao Wen Street, Nanjie Street and Yukui Street are called "Xiangyang Road" and Xiaodong Street and Qingguo Street are called "anti-imperialist roads", people will mistakenly think that they can't find the north. The place names of "Pingqiang and Qingxi" in Li Bai's Yuege of Emei Mountain in Tang Dynasty have always been confused and controversial because of the complicated situation of overlapping and mixing place names in history.

The naming of a place name naturally has its historical origin, as well as its humanistic, historical, cultural and geographical characteristics. The State Council (1979) No.305 "Interim Provisions on Naming and Renaming Geographical Names" standardized the naming of geographical names in various places, and corrected the randomness, confusion and adverse effects of geographical names naming during the Cultural Revolution. Jiajiang County People's Government issued the announcement198111to rename, rename and approve the main place names in the county.

Jiajiang's place names are rich and colorful, which embodies the characteristics of surname culture. Legend has it that in the early days of Qing immigrants, because of the vast territory and sparse population, immigrants could "insert and sign an enclosure" for land reclamation and farming according to their own working conditions, register and declare, and pay no taxes for three years, which is called "inserting newspapers". After a place is inhabited by a surname, people will add a surname to the topography, landform and status of this place as a place name. For example, Wuchang, Yincun, Houzhai, Jiangci, Mao Jie, Leidian, Daimiao, Wan 'anzi, Pixiang, Wangshuijing, Liushuinian, Nishan, Huang Lin, Bai Zhou, etc.

More interestingly, it is named after numbers: Banbianshan, a bowl of water, Erdaoyan, Sangen Bridge, Silingbei, Wujianfang, Liutuo, Qixinggou, Bajiao Temple, Jiu Feng Ridge, Intersection, Wu Si Village, 32 Kans, Qianqiuguan and Wanshanping.

Colored names (choose one) are: Hongdouping, Huangtianba, Lvshuituo, Hak-Rim Paek, Heilinzi, Chijiabian, Qinggangping and Bauhinia.

In the name of stone, some are not used as place names, but as symbolic names of a scenic spot or a place: such as Luanshixi, Shimaba, Shigupo, Wangsendai, Tieshiguan, Shigangyin, Shibangou, Shimiaozi, Shuangbei and Baiyan; Borneol stone, nail stone, bull stone, thin knife stone, crab stone, mouth stone, tortoise stone, eagle mouth stone, saddle stone, threshold stone, tabletop stone, token stone, flower cavity drum, human head stone, stone gate, stalagmite, Buddha stone, etc. Zongzi stone and horsehead bone have been destroyed.

It is also interesting to name places, such as Dongshan, Xiling Temple, Nan 'an Township, Beishi Street, Main Street, Backstreet, Zhongshan, Yanjiao, Shangcun, Xiaping, Slope, Rock Bottom, River Bottom, Neimo, Wanlitou, Yangfen, Yinshanpu, Yanggangshan and so on.

In addition, names were given according to the opinions, and everyone shouted out their names, which were also very tasty, such as Wu's big house, hut, Wang (Cao, Chen), queen, chicken dealer and so on. Place names like "under Wang (Cao and Chen)" mean that Wang (Cao and Chen) lives above and there is a road below. "Empress" means to be located in Houshan, where Wang Xing lives in a dense community. "Chicken Dealer" has actually become a place name. The name "chicken dealer" means that someone once did chicken business here.

The most eye-catching thing is the place name of Jiajiang County, called "Juancheng Town". According to local records, Qingyi River is a waterway flowing through Jiajiang County, which was called "Yujiang" in ancient times. There is a "Suijiang Academy" in Xianxing School. Once upon a time, there was a stone archway with the words "the first mountain in the city" in front of Yu Palace in Black Tiger Mountain. Recently, some scholars wrote an article, or "Qin destroyed Chu", and moved the Yanshui people under the jurisdiction of Chu State to live by Qingyi River in Jiajiang, Sichuan Province, and renamed Yanshui as Qijiang. Or it has something to do with the place name of Jingkou, Qianfo Rock. In order to distinguish it from the water phase in Jingkou, Shaanxi Province, the aborigines replaced Jingkou with "Song" (the ancient sound is close to "Jin", "Jian" and "Yan"). There is also a saying that, in order to pronounce Jiajiang, the "Ya" of Qingyijiang alias "Yahe" is pronounced as "Ya", from "Ya" to "Yan", plus "Water" to "Dry". Who is right needs to be discussed. In a word, "Song" is branded as Jiajiang County with its unique meaning, which has its wonderful and profound humanistic connotation.

The change of place names is also very interesting. For example, the general used to be called the general shop, and the Buddha rock is now called the ten thousand Buddha rock, and the ten-sided ferry is renamed Shimian ferry. In ancient times, it was called "County Pool" (a deep pool outside the county seat), but it was transferred to "Xietan" (now Xietan Village) because of its accent; "Erdaopu" is now called "Shuanglongpu"; Say "Yi (Alpine)" as "Ye (Alpine)", "Xiang (Xiang) Tang" as "Xiang Tang", and so on. The more popular accents are "Helinkou" for "Heilinkou" and "98" for "Ba".

There are many nameless place names in Jiajiang, which are difficult to describe, such as Yukui Street, Litang, Hezhou, Jinxiang Street and Shi Yu Lane.

Jiajiang County is named after the landform of "two mountains facing each other and one river flowing". In the 13th year of Emperor Yangdi (593), it was divided into Pingqiang and Longyou counties, and the county name was named after the original Jiajiangshu. Recently, some scholars have written an article to prove that the county name of Jiajiang has been integrated into the accumulation of bamboo culture, and "bamboo" should be regarded as the main body and symbol of Jiajiang ancient culture to profoundly show rich and heavy cultural connotation. "Jiajiang County Records" (Republic of China Edition) contains: "The Republic of China was founded, the political system was reformed, and the county name remained unchanged. In the first year of the Republic of China, I proposed the reform of the grand view and wrote to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to adjust the central government. I haven't answered yet, so I went to bed. " "Jiajiang", an ancient, beautiful and elegant name, as a Jiajiang person, must not be changed rashly, so that future generations can continue to understand this profound historical and humanistic connotation.

There are many place names in Jiajiang, large and small, which is difficult to discuss in detail. Geographical names work is a basic work. With the development of urban construction, it is prudent to use the meaning and characters of place names, and it is the responsibility entrusted by the times to make place names meet the requirements of standardization and standardization.
