Dengfeng has Yang City, and it is named because it is located in the sun of Songshan Mountain. Compared with Yangcheng, the location of Yuzhou City is not exactly in the Yang of Songshan, and it is much farther away from Songshan. It can be seen that the yang of Yang Zhai is not the yang of Songyang.

Therefore, in order to understand the original meaning of the place name "Yangzhai", you might as well disassemble the two words first.

The original meaning of the word "yang" refers to the sun; Extended meaning, according to the geographical orientation, the south of the mountain and the north of the water are yang; The opposite is yin. As for the original meaning of the word "Zhai", it refers to a long-tailed pheasant.

By extension, everything has its yin and yang sides, so "Yi" cloud: "One yin and one yang is the Tao." Its obvious side is called yang, such as the above-mentioned mountains and rivers in the north and south, illuminated by the sun, showing a distinct shape, so it is called yang. By further extension, whatever is bright and beautiful can be yang-like.

Therefore, the "Book of Songs" cloud: "Carry Xuan Zaihuang, I Zhu Kongyang." The word "yang" in this is a bright and beautiful meaning. From this, it can be preliminarily concluded that the ancients called this place Yangzhai because there were many pheasants in this place at that time, which was bright and beautiful.

Things are originally so simple, the ancients about the name of the place, originally related to the local geography at that time.

or after a mountain, or after a water, or after a location, or after a property.

For example, Yingchuan County is named after Yingshui; Henan Sheng is named after its location in the south of the Yellow River. Henan was called Yuzhou in ancient times, which was named after the fact that there were many elephants in ancient times; Yuzhou was called Quercus in ancient times, and it was named after its many oak forests...... The list goes on and on. New Bayi m.x81zw

Later, with the passage of time, the historical accumulation of various places has become more and more profound, so the phenomenon of naming names after historical and cultural characteristics has also increased. For example, Dengfeng is named after the ancient emperors who repeatedly climbed Zhongyue Songshan and held the Zen ceremony; Xuchang is named after the place where it was once the hometown of Xu Guo. 新81手机端::/m.x81zw/

The land of Yuzhou belongs to the warm temperate climate, mild and pleasant. Its terrain consists of mountains, hills, and plains, and each occupies one-third of the terrain. There is also Yingshui passing through the territory, the large and small tributaries of Yingshui are all over the territory, the superior geographical environment, rich products, make Yuzhou one of the important birthplaces of the Chinese nation.

Especially this place was the former capital of Xia Yu, and the remains of Juntai monuments are heard, so it was later renamed Junzhou and Yuzhou. Throughout the evolution of Yuzhou place names, it has experienced a long process from geographical characteristics to historical characteristics.

Back to the previous topic, Yuzhou is called Zhai because of the number of pheasants at that time, which was bright and beautiful. According to legend, because of the bright and beautiful pheasant, far superior to other birds, the pheasant is also very proud of this, often standing by the river, flying and dancing on the river, reflecting its beautiful figure in the water, self-appreciation, self-absorption, and smugness.

In his "Song of Qiupu", the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty wrote in his "Song of Qiupu", in order to exaggerate the beauty of the Qiupu brocade ostrich, so he wrote with the pheasant as a backdrop: "The pheasant is shy of green water and does not dare to take a sweater." It is precisely because of this beauty of the pheasant that the ancient ancestors of China began to imagine and create the beautiful image of the phoenix.

Because this creation is derived from reality and higher than reality, the phoenix has a larger shape, a longer tail, and brighter feathers, but its shape is very similar to that of a pheasant.

The aborigines of this area are also familiar with pheasants, and there is no sense of novelty. However, for newcomers, this bright and vivid pheasant gives people a strong sense of freshness, no wonder they call this place "Yang Zhai".

Although this is speculation, it should be the case from the meaning of the word "Yangzhai", in connection with the historical background at that time, and the evolution process of place names.

"Why?" Xun Ji didn't seem to understand why Shi Min was more willing to be convinced that the first statement was true, so he asked.

Shi Min said with a smile: "The name of Yang Zhai also records a history of the rise and fall of our Chinese nation against foreign aggression!" In the past, the prince of Qi Huan was hegemonic, and he respected the king, and he didn't say it, but said it. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Rong Di invaded, Shan Rong attacked Yan State, Yan asked Qi for help, and Qi Huan Gong rescued Yan. ”

"Shan Rong attacked the criminal country, and Guan Zhong proposed, 'Rong Di jackal, don't get tired of it; Zhuxia is intimate and cannot be abandoned. 'Duke Huan of Qi adopted Guan Zhong's suggestion to 'please save Xing', repelled the Di soldiers who destroyed the Xing capital, and established a new capital for Xing in Yiyi. The following year, Di people attacked and defended, and Wei Yigong was killed. Duke Qi Huan led the vassal states to build a new capital in Chuqiu for the Wei Kingdom! ”

"If it weren't for Guan Zhong, I'm afraid that today's Huaxia would have long since ceased to exist!"

"Lingda, do you know why the Lone King is telling you this?"

"The public has the heart to help the world?"

"Doesn't Lingda have the ambition to help the world and save the people?"

Shi Min and Xun Ji looked at each other and smiled.

"If Ming Gong can give Ming Gong a stage to play in the next place, Ling Da will definitely give Ming Gong a bright future!"

"Good!"

After fasting and bathing, Shi Min rushed to Yuwang Temple to worship.

Yuwang Temple is in Yushan, and it is said that the camp is located when Yu commanded the water, so it is called "Yushan".

There are many relics of Yu on the mountain, such as Yuwang Temple (also called Lawang Temple), Yuwang Stone Chair, Sword Test Stone, Old Dragon's Nest, La Temple Slope, Jiao Keel, Axe Splitting Stone, Yuwang Pavilion, Yuquan, Niangniang Spring, etc. At the foot of the mountain there is Yu Shanpo Village.

A set of cumbersome etiquette walked down, and people with Shi Min's physique were a little unbearable, but they still beat their spirits, pushed the steps, and walked down the mountain by themselves.

Passing by a sarcophagus, Shi Min couldn't help but be a little curious: "How can there be a sarcophagus here?" ”

At this time, the erudite Xun Ji stood up: "Back to the king, this is the coffin stone, the coffin stone is a sarcophagus given by Dayu to the leader of the Dongyi tribe, Boyi, placed on the ridge of Yu Mountain, this sarcophagus has been integrated with the mountain stone after thousands of years of wind and rain. ”

Cui Hao, who was on the side, also said: "Little Lao'er also knows a little bit about this. This sarcophagus, legend has it that Yu rewarded Boyi's 'Shoumu'. Bo Yi is the leader of the Dongyi tribe. When Dayu controlled the water, Boyi was responsible for setting fire to the wasteland, splitting mountains and building roads, surveying the terrain, and made immortal contributions. Dayu Zeng Boyi is his heir. ”

"Bo Yi swore to follow Xia Yu to the death, and his last words said: 'Although I am a Dongyi tribe, my soul has been integrated into Zhuxia, and after my death, I will learn Xia Yu, and the four seas will be my home, and the body will not be transported back to Dongyi!' Therefore, Dayu specially gave Boyi a sarcophagus. However, his dependents still followed the summer system and buried Boyi in the shade of Keishan with a three-inch coffin. The sarcophagus is placed here, and it has become a relic to commemorate the integrity of Boyi. After a long time, the sarcophagus and the mountain stone have become one! ”

Hearing this, Shi Min's mind suddenly flashed: "Go get pen and ink!" ”

Below, there is an entourage with pen and ink.

Shi Min touched the stubble on his chin, and then waved his pen to inscribe on the sarcophagus: The sarcophagus is an official style (the model and example of later officials)!

Shi Min said: "The sarcophagus, the good officials will bless future generations as officials!" I hope that all the officials in the world can be like Boyi, diligent and love the people, and loyal to their duties! ”

The ministers all praised: "The king is wise! We are willing to be Boyi! ”

Shi Min smiled, noncommittal.
