Zaozhuang does not produce dates, and Xiantao does not produce peaches. How did they get their names?

Zaozhuang does not produce dates, mainly because modern Zaozhuang does not produce dates. Because Zaozhuang used to have this name, or because Zaozhuang in the Tang Dynasty was named after a large area of jujube forest there.

Today's Zaozhuang, called Zaozhuang, no longer grows jujube trees, nor is it a city that manages jujube industry, so people will misunderstand the name. However, it is not a complete misunderstanding. After all, he was once named after a jujube forest.

The origin of Xiantao's name is more dramatic. It is said that a group of fairies passed by here with Xiantao and happened to meet a group of people. So he set up a stall here to sell peaches and many people came to buy them.

Some people say they will give it to their parents at home, while others say they will give it to their children. The fairies were moved by their feelings, so they waved and planted peaches in that place, and it became a ten-mile peach garden. The name is Xiantao.

However, on Baidu Encyclopedia, we can find it. The original name of Xiantao was Mianyang, and the reason why it was renamed may also be because the word is difficult to read and write.

During the development of our country, many places changed their original names with the change of dynasties. The names of some places are getting better and better, and the names of some places are getting more and more boring.

But it is undeniable that no matter how the name changes. The historical and cultural heritage preserved in that place will always exist, and the name he used will always belong to that place. Other cities can't use the same name, because each name represents every period of history, and no period of history is the same.
