Why did Gusu later change its name to Suzhou? Thank you.

According to legend, at the end of Shang Dynasty, Zhou Jun's ancient father had three sons: the eldest son Taibo, the second son Zhong Yong and the youngest son Ji Li. There was a son named Chang. Gu's father thought that there was always a talent for promotion and wanted to pass on the throne to Yu Chang. After understanding this intention, Taber and Zhong Yong fled to Jiangnan, then known as the land of Man Jing, in order to respect their father's wishes and avoid the throne. And when in Rome, do as the Romans do and "cut off the tattoo" yourself. It means that they are barbarians and can't return to the throne. Their righteous deeds, as well as the advanced culture and agricultural production technology of Zhou nationality they brought, won the support of local residents. In Meili (now Meicun, Wuxi County), Taibo was established as the monarch, and the title of "subduing Wu" (the "uniform" of subduing Wu is a pronunciation word in the language, which has no practical significance, and subduing Wu is Wu. Because of a clerical error, even Wu was wrongly written.

From Tabor to Shoumeng's accession to the throne (585 BC), it was the date when the State of Wu began. With the rise of Wu, Meili's capital city can no longer meet the needs of national development. Suzhou, located on the northeast bank of Taihu Lake, officially moved its capital to Suzhou in the 25th year of Shoumeng (56 BC1year) because of its superior natural conditions, convenient transportation, fertile land, rich products and large population. After years of continuous operation, it has reached a considerable scale. However, due to the lack of historical records, the ruins of the city no longer exist. From then on, Suzhou at that time was called Wu State.

In 5 14 BC, He Lv, the king of Wu, ordered Wu Zixu to build a city in a double chessboard pattern. Since then, the geographical location of Suzhou has evolved to this day. In 522 BC, Qin Shihuang set up Huiji County and Wuxian County in Wudu City. Since then, Suzhou at that time has been called Wuxian, or sometimes called Wu Zhou. In 589 AD, Sui changed Wu Zhou to Suzhou (Suzhou was named after Gusu Mountain in the west of Suzhou). Another Gusu Mountain was named after He Lv, the king of Wu who built Gusu Terrace. There are still relics on the mountain now.

In 778 AD, the Tang Dynasty established Suzhou as the only "Xiongzhou" in the south of the Yangtze River (the Tang Dynasty was divided into seven grades, and Xiongzhou was the second grade). Since then, the name Suzhou has been fixed as a generic term. 1 1 13 years, Suzhou was changed to Pingjiang House in Song Dynasty.

Comprehensive historical changes, Suzhou has many nicknames: Gusu, Wu, Wuxian, Soochow, Pingjiang, Wuzhong and so on. Suzhou is also known as water capital, water city and water town because of its vertical and horizontal rivers. /kloc-In the 3rd century, Kyle Poirot praised Suzhou as Venice of the East.
