Chapter 200, the origin of place names

In the third year of junior high school, Li Yuanshan and Song Yu entered the city together. The communes he was going to this time were near the county seat. Two of the communes have a large ethnic minority, Wusha Commune, which is named Wusha because of the Wusa tribe of the Yi ethnic group, and Dingxiao Commune, which is a transliteration of Buyi, which means green pond.

There are many such place names, such as the farther Canggen, Buyi transliteration, which means the stockade on the hillside, Luowan, the Buyi transliteration, which means the village, under the big banyan tree, the Weili, the Buyi transliteration, which means the stockade in the Datianba, and the Weishe, the Buyi transliteration, which means the place where the mountain peaks are handsome. This time, except for Wusha and Dingxiao, which are a little farther away, the others are on the edge of the county.

The first time I came to advertise, no one received the herbs needed to make rat medicine before, so naturally no one dug them.

As soon as Li Yuanshan's stall was set up, someone came to ask, Li Yuanshan said it one by one, and the other party asked, "Do you collect yellow grass?"

"Yellow grass?" Li Yuanshan said suspiciously, "What is this?"

The other party took out a bag from the back basket and opened it, Li Yuanshan looked at it and said, "Isn't this Dendrobium!"

"We all call it Yellow Grass, and that's how Yellow Grass Dam came about. The other party said. Huangcaoba is now the center of the county. Dendrobium is abundant in the vicinity, and it was traded there back then.

"It's good, but we don't accept it. Li Yuanshan said, "These medicines I received were used to make rat medicines, not to treat people." ”

"I'll see if we have that. The other one who came with him said, began to look through the samples, asked the price again, and then said, "We have a lot of this stuff, but your price is too low!"

"We use it to make rat medicine, and the price of rat medicine is naturally lower. But although the price is low, the output is not small, and you can make money too. However, everyone should remember that these medicines are poisonous, so don't take them. "Although it is not very toxic, and it will not kill people if you eat a little, but what if someone eats too much? Therefore, Li Yuanshan has to make it clear first, so as not to poison someone.

Don't look at the fact that everyone doesn't know a few words, but they can still calculate the accounts, and no one wants to suffer losses, right? I saw that there were words in their mouths, and those who didn't understand thought that this was chanting scriptures to drive away evil spirits. After a while, I figured it out, and found that it was indeed possible, even if the adults had to do farm work, the villains could dig it.

After running several communes in a row, Li Yuanshan drove the carriage back to the city, and when he heard that Yang Guangming had just left, he hurriedly went to pick up the waste books and speed up to catch up.

Halfway through the afternoon, Li Yuanshan caught up with Yang Guangming, and happened to see a small stall, Li Yuanshan said: "I haven't eaten yet, eat some before leaving." ”

He stopped the carriage, walked to the stall, and shouted, "Boss, boss, buy something." ”

Then an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl came out of the room and asked, "How many bowls do you want?"

Yang Guangming said: "I just eat, you can buy your own in Yuanshan." ”

"A bowl. Li Yuanshan nodded, and then said, "Your stall should be driven into the city, there are fewer people here." ”

"This stall was opened by my mother while the farm was not working, and she didn't have a license. The girl said as she cooked. Looking at the way she was born, she didn't tell a lie.

"If you're daring, you can give it a try. Li Yuanshan said, "Selling this thing makes a lot of money." ”

After eating and paying the bill, he left, and while driving Li Yuanshan, he said something to say: "The name of Tun has not been changed well this afternoon, and I don't know what the name of the place means." ”

Yang Guangming said with a smile: "It's almost the same whether you change it or not." The next five tun afternoon tun is not all the same, there is a morning tun on the top, it hurts in the morning and hurts in the afternoon (dialect tun and pain pronunciation are pain). ”

"Uncle, you have what you say! Then Zheng Tun is not in pain for a while, Wan Tun is all eight bones (all over the body) hurt!" Li Yuanshan said with a smile.

"Hahaha...... If you want to say what kind of tun is what tun, it is the garrison in these places after the army laid down here in the early Ming Dynasty, so it has this name. Morning Tun and afternoon Tun, is a total of ten Tun here at that time, next to the Huangcao Dam there Wutun terrain is high, called the upper Wutun, this lower Wutun is called the next Wutun. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the 'five' was simply changed to 'noon', so it became the current place name. Yang Guangming thought that Li Yuanshan didn't know, so he explained.

"What about Jing Nan?" Li Yuanshan asked, he only knew that Jing Nan was called Jing Nan before. At the end of Guangxu, Guangxi Youyong was active in this area, and after the Qing army suppressed it, it was renamed Jingnan, which means that the southern part of Xingyi settled down. Before the name was changed to Jingnan, it was called a dog farm. In the past, the market here was arranged according to the zodiac, so many of them got their names, such as dragon farm, snake farm, chicken farm, pig farm and so on.

"It was called Jingnan before, and the 'Jing' of Emperor Jiajing was the Qing soldiers who pacified the Youyong bandits there, and it was in the south of Xingyi, so it was renamed Jingnan. At that time, it was said that it was a bandit, but in fact, it was not a minority or a nation that could not be oppressed and rose up, so after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was changed to Jingnan. Yang Guangming said, "Xingyi's name is similar. At the time of Jiaqing, Xingyi belonged to Nanlong Mansion, and the seat of governance was in what is now Anlong. In order to appease the local people, the Qing court changed the insulting name of Nanlongfu to Xingyifu, which means the land of prosperity and the land of benevolence and righteousness. ”

"Why is it insulting to call Nanlong Mansion? Kowloon Commune was called Nanlong Bazi before, isn't it an insult?" Li Yuanshan said, when they came back then, the uprising had been suppressed for more than 100 years, and it had already been renamed Xingyi Mansion, and he really didn't know this. He thought that Nanlong Mansion was called Nanlong Mansion, which was not an insulting name.

"The 'cage' of the South Cage Mansion is not the 'dragon' of the dragon king, but the 'cage' of the chicken cage and the pig cage. Yang Guangming explained, "At the turn of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the little emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youlang, fled to Anlong, and the 'Long' of Anlong at that time was the 'Long' of prosperous business. Maybe it's because the name is homophonic, well, he was able to stay in Anlong, so he changed Anlong to Anlong. Four years later, Anlong was defeated by the Qing army, and the little emperor fled to Yunnan. And the Qing court thought that he was an evil dragon because the little emperor was not caught and fled, so in a fit of anger, An Long was changed to An Long, the 'cage' of the pig cage, in order to trap him. This is how the later Nanlong Mansion also came. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the name Anlong was restored. ”

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, it turns out that there are these reasons!" Li Yuanshan sighed and asked again, "Did your old Yang family also escape with Emperor Yongli?" He roughly knew that the old Yang family also moved to Guizhou at about that time.

"Maybe. According to the time calculation, it is about the same, and my ancestors also moved from Anlong. Yang Guangming said, "But the legends handed down from the ancestors are different. It's just that those who fled from Jiangxi first went to Anlong, and then our branch then moved to Xiongwu (a nearby commune, a village under the Yi mountain), and then moved here. Perhaps, for the sake of safety, I didn't dare to reveal the truth, so as not to invite death. ”

"Hehe! Maybe you are still the descendants of some great official or general. Li Yuanshan said with a smile.

"That can't be. Yang Guangming shook his head and said, "We only moved here many years after Anlong was breached, and it is said that there are still some local clansmen." If it was really the descendants of some great official and general, if they didn't run away with them, they would definitely be slaughtered, how could they survive. Even if they followed the little emperor of Yongli, they were only small soldiers at most, or they were refugees who fled with them. ”

"That's right. Li Yuanshan agreed. When fighting, it is popular to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Forgiving and forgiving people is not an idea that the army in ancient times had.

"When your ancestors moved here, did the Mother of Sand die? Have you ever seen the power of the Mother of Sha?" Li Yuanshan asked curiously. According to local legend, the Mother of Sand was a Yi heroine who fought with Wu Sangui, and now there is a city wall on a hill that was built during the war.

Legend has it that the Mother of Sand was so beautiful that she had very long hair, and when she combed her hair, she had to use ten tables to cushion her. She has a lot of mana, and she has a Wyvern horse. I got up in the morning and rode the flying dragon horse to Kunming for breakfast and came back, and the time did not pass for a while. When fighting with Wu Sangui, he sprinkled beans into soldiers and repaired the city wall overnight. Originally, Wu Sangui's army couldn't shrink, and he could even find time to go to Kunming to assassinate Wu Sangui. However, during the great battle, his hair was blown away by the wind and wrapped around Wyvern's legs, and Wyvern fell down and ran in panic, ignoring his master who was dragged to the ground, and died. From the commune to the outskirts of the city below, there are ancient city walls, inverted horses, and dams (pronunciation oil), and everything seems to have happened.

Although the legend is not reliable, the Mother of Sand should indeed have some ability.

"If there is still a war going on here, then how can it be possible to move here!" Yang Guangming said, "But although I haven't seen it, the Mother of Sand is definitely not as powerful as the legend." Think about being able to ride a flying dragon horse to Kunming for breakfast in the morning, Kunming is 3560 kilometers away from here. There is also the Wyvern Horse, how can there be such a horse in the world? Scattering beans into soldiers is even more fake, and there are many legends like this. ”

Of course, he has lived for more than 700 years, and he is considered an old monster, and he has no spells. And since there is a spell, why can't you kill Wu Sangui when you go to assassinate it, and you are still discovered?

"But the end result may be true. Li Yuanshan said, "It's just possible that it wasn't the horse's legs that were entangled in hair and dragged to death by the frightened mother, but that she was tied and dragged to death by the Qing army after the defeat of the war." This cruel criminal law has existed in the steppe since ancient times. ”

"Maybe so. Yang Guangming said, "Dumping Makan is the place where she was defeated and captured, and Bayou is the place where she was tortured." The ground below is flat, the land is fertile, and the population is large, and the execution here can deter the rest. ”

"Wu Sangui probably didn't expect that the little emperor Kangxi would attack him, right?" Li Yuanshan sighed, "If he remembers the truth of 'all the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook', and he raises troops while Nanming is still alive, maybe it will be another ending." ”
