Why is Shangqiu called Shangqiu?

The answer lies in Kuiba Terrace in the southwest of Shangqiu.

There used to be a name, Shangqiu!

Shi bo Terrace is a building built in memory of shi bo. If you are not familiar with Shibo, you will not be unfamiliar with his father Di Ku, who ranks third among the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. If you are not familiar with Di Ku, you are definitely familiar with his great-grandfather Huangdi!

If we introduce Wei Xiao in another way, we can say that Wei Xiao is Yao Di's half-brother.

The birth of Quetta is also a legendary story. Legend has it that while Quiber's mother Judy was taking a bath, a mysterious bird just flew by and laid an egg. After Kikuchi swallowed the egg, she got pregnant and gave birth to Wei Xiao, named Qi. Judy's birth contract is a famous historical allusion.

Historians have analyzed that this story actually contains reproductive myths and matriarchal society? Anemarrhena doesn't know his father? The characteristics of. Of course, a woman who swallows a bird's egg won't get pregnant, but the man who got her pregnant has no historical records and has to make up stories to deceive people.

In addition, the so-called mysterious birds, spawning and other bridges are full of hints of primitive reproduction. This kind of similar bridge has similar existence in all major ancient civilizations.

Let's get to the point. Tell me the story of Kuiba.

As the world leader of Dan, Di Ku traveled around the world with his son Wei Xiao and came to the present Shangqiu border. He saw that people here live a hard life, because there is no fire, people can only eat raw food, leading to diseases, and people's life expectancy is generally short.

Di Ku asked the local residents why they didn't use fire to heat their food. The people replied that kindling had been used before, but then the supply of firewood could not keep up, and there was an underground flood. They never used it again after the fire went out.

Di Ku felt sorry for him, so he sent his son Gengbo to stay here and appointed him Huo Zheng. Quiber greeted the fire from the outside and invited him to build a high platform to prevent the flood from annihilating the fire. At the same time, a shed was built above the high platform to prevent the rain from pouring out the fire. In addition, Quiber also asked people to prepare enough firewood to ensure that the fire would not go out.

Under the management of Quiber, people here finally have a lasting fire and their lives have been greatly improved. The fief of Wei Xiao was named Shang State. After Wei Xiao's death, he was buried on this high platform by ordinary people, so this place is called Taber, Wei Xiao. Quillaba was honored as Vulcan because it brought fire to the people in the business area. Therefore, Kuibotai is also called Vulcan.

After Quiber's death, people who commemorate him put a handful of earth in front of his grave every year. With the passage of time, more and more soil has accumulated on Quiber's grave, and finally it has become a big mound. Wei Xiao is the king of Shang Lu, and Wei Xiao Taibo is rightly called Shangqiu.

This is the origin of Shangqiu.

These contents are only part of myths and legends. In fact, Kuibatai has more important significance. It is the earliest observatory in China. Quiba observed the astronomical phenomena here, especially the commercial stars of Mars, and made the original calendar, which is very important for the inheritance of civilization.
