We call Nanjing Stone Town because? At the foot of Qingliang Mountain in Nanjing, you can see winding city walls and towering stone cliffs from the Shimen in the tiger's dragon pan to the Caomen. This is a stone city built on a hill. Tongzhi's Shangjiang County Records. "Mountain Examination" contains: "Since Jiangbei, there have been no stones in the mountains, so there are stones in the mountains, hence the name." "Jiankangzhi" also said: "There is a city on the mountain, also known as Shicheng Mountain." The "city" mentioned here is also the stone city.
The origin of Stone Town can be traced back to the Warring States Period more than two thousand years ago. According to historical records, in the thirty-sixth year (333 BC), Chu (Yingdu, now Jiangling, Hubei) destroyed Yue (Wudu, now Suzhou), set up Jinling City and built a city on the mountain. In the twenty-fourth year of Qin Shihuang (223 BC), the State of Chu perished, and the Qin Dynasty changed Jinling to Moling County. Legend has it that during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang arrived on the eve of Battle of Red Cliffs to discuss with Sun Quan the plan to break Cao Zhi. According to legend, Zhuge Liang rode to Shitou Mountain to observe the mountains and rivers when passing through Moling County. He saw the mountains headed by Zhongshan winding in the southeast like a black dragon, while the western hills ending in rocky mountains stood on both sides of the river like tigers, so he praised "Zhongshan is long and flat, and the stone is beside the tiger, which is really the residence of the emperor" and suggested to Sun Quan to move the capital to Moling.
After Sun Quan went to Battle of Red Cliffs, he moved to Moling (now Nanjing) and was renamed Moling Jianye. The following year, a famous stone town was built on the original foundation of Liang Qingshan. At that time, the Yangtze River flowed out of Liang Qing, so the military position of Stone Town was very prominent, and Sun Wu always regarded it as the most important naval base. In the following hundreds of years, it became the military center of war defense. In the civil war, the victory or defeat is often decided by taking the stone city.
Stone Town is based on the cool natural cliffs on the western slope of Shanxi, surrounded by mountains, with a circumference of "seven miles and a hundred paces", which is equivalent to about six miles now. On the northern edge of the Great River, it reaches the mouth of Qinhuai River in the south, with two gates in Nankai and one gate in the east. To the west of the South Gate is the West Gate, which is surrounded by mountains and waters and separated by the Huaihe River. The danger is great now. There are stone warehouses and stone warehouses in the city to store military food and weapons. There is an alarm beacon tower at the height of the city wall, which can send out signals at any time to predict enemy invasion. In the Southern Dynasties, the status of Stone Town as a military fortress to defend the capital remained unchanged.
In ancient times, the Yangtze River flowed eastward around the foot of Liangshan Mountain. Huge waves beat the mountain wall from time to time and washed it into a cliff. After the Tang Dynasty, the river moved westward day by day. Since the eighth year of Wude in Tang Dynasty (625), Stone Town began to be abandoned. Therefore, Liu Yuxi, a poet in the middle Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem "Stone City": "The old country is surrounded by mountains, and the tide hits the empty city and is lonely. In the old moon east of Huaishui, I also came to the female wall at night. " The stone city described by the poet is already a deserted and lonely "empty city". Five Dynasties (924). The first temple, Xingjiao Temple, was built in Shitou Town, and later became a scenic spot where temples and academies were concentrated. Today, it is still famous at home and abroad for its majestic posture of "Stone City surrounded by tigers".
Nanjing is called "Stone City", hence its name.
We call Guangzhou Yangcheng, because Yangcheng is Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. The name of Yangcheng comes from the legend of "Five Sheep Holding Valley, Taken from Chuting". Around the Zhou Dynasty, Guangzhou suffered from famine year after year, the fields were barren, and the agricultural harvest failed, so the people could not eat and wear. One day, melodious music suddenly came from the sky in the South China Sea, and five colorful auspicious clouds appeared. There are five immortals in the sky, wearing colorful clothes and riding fairy sheep with different colors and ears of rice. They arrived in Guangzhou.
The immortal gave the good ears of rice to the people of Guangzhou and wished that there would never be a famine in this area. May the immortal fly away, and the five fairy sheep turn into stone sheep and stay on the hillside of Guangzhou. Since then, Guangzhou has become the richest place in Lingnan, blessed by immortals, with fragrant ears of rice and a bumper harvest every year. This is the origin of the names of Wuyangcheng, Suicheng and Yangcheng in Guangzhou.
Why are we called Wuhan Jiangcheng? Why are we called Chengdu Rongcheng? Wuhan is on the Yangtze River, with Wuchang on one side and Hankou on the other.
What about Chengdu
When it comes to "turtle painting hibiscus", it is just when the city was built, the foundation was unstable and it collapsed repeatedly. Later, a tortoise appeared to lead the way to build a city. The route guided by the tortoise was a hibiscus flower, and Rongcheng was born.
Speaking of "protecting the city with hibiscus", Meng Changjun, the king of Shu, ordered hibiscus to be planted everywhere in Tucheng, Chengdu, in order to protect the city wall. Whenever the hibiscus blooms in September, it looks like embroidery from a distance, and the city is full of splendor, so it is called Furong City.
The most accepted and widely circulated version is this: Since the Tang Dynasty, Chengdu has held a grand flower market every February in the lunar calendar. According to legend, February 15th of the lunar calendar is the birthday of Baihua, which is called "Flower Dynasty". Chengdu Flower Market is conveniently held around the Flower Dynasty, which is the positive period of the flower market. Every February, Chengdu becomes an ocean of flowers. Hundreds of flowers gather in the flower city, competing to open up and compete for beauty, making the whole ancient capital enchanting and gorgeous.
Such a beauty contest is really dazzling. At this time, five generations later, Mrs. Hua Rui, the princess of Shu, turned back from the flowers and found hibiscus in it. Lotus is rolling in the sky like a colorful cloud, which surprises Mrs. Hua Rui. She likes this beautiful flower, which makes her feel very happy. However, flowers are always short-lived, and beauty will soon die. In the humid weather in Chengdu, Mrs. Hua Rui is often depressed. Autumn is coming, and Mrs. Huarui takes her entourage to have an outing to relieve loneliness. Walking to the front yard of the farmhouse, she was surprised to find that in this autumn in first frost, even the determined chrysanthemums have withered, but there are still such clusters of flowers blooming. She remembered that this was the hibiscus she saw in the flower dynasty, and Mrs. Huarui's face was rippling with joy that she had never seen before.
The entourage around him saw all this and reported it to Meng Changjun, the king of Shu. Meng Changjun was overjoyed and ordered the people to plant hibiscus trees in the gardens of the whole city. So when bloom comes next year, Chengdu will be a 40-mile hibiscus, and from then on, it will have the reputation of Furong City.
Later, after the demise of Shu, Mrs. Huarui was swept into the harem by Song Taizong Zhao Guoyin. Mrs. Hua Rui often misses Meng Chang and secretly treasures his portrait to show her miss. After Zhao Guoyin knew it, he forced her to hand over the portrait. However, Mrs. Hua Rui refused, and Zhao Guoyin killed her in a rage. Later generations admired Mrs. Hua Rui's loyalty to love, regarded her as the Lotus God and called her "the flower of love".
Chengdu people's love for hibiscus flowers is related to this ancient legend. They rejected the saying that "the tortoise painted the hibiscus" and "the hibiscus protected the city", but they relished the legend of Mrs. Hua Rui, which fully explained the romantic feelings of Chengdu people in pursuit of loyal love.
