Why is Nanchong called the Fruit City?

Nanchong is one of the nine major cities planned for development in Sichuan. Nanchong was the land of Liang and Yong during the Xia and Shang Dynasties, an important place for the Shu and Han Dynasties during the Three Kingdoms, and was established as Guozhou during the Tang Dynasty. Called Shunqing. The Jialing River passes through the mountains and rivers here from north to south. Scholars and military generals such as Chen Shou, Zhang Lan, and Luo Ruiqing were all outstanding sons and daughters raised here for the Chinese nation. Guocheng, which has been built for more than 2,200 years, has had 6 titles in history. According to research by Pan Dade, editor-in-chief of Shunqing District Chronicle, every name change from Anhan at the beginning of the founding of Guocheng to Shunqing today is related to an interesting historical fact. In October 202 BC (the sixth year of Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty), Emperor Gao ordered the construction of Anhan County. According to "Historical Records of Xiang Yu": In the third year of the Han Dynasty (204 BC), Liu Bang was besieged by Xiang Yu in Xingyang City. At the critical moment, General Ji Xin offered Liu Bang a plan to "escape the golden cicada". After Liu Bang escaped from danger, Ji Xin, who disguised himself as Liu Bang, was burned to death by Xiang Yu. After Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu, he believed that Ji Xin sacrificed his life and made great contributions to stabilizing the Han regime, so he established Anhan County in Ji Xin's hometown. According to historical records, the Anhan County seat at that time was in the Wulidian area of ????Shunqing Beicheng Street today. Anhan County governed the three districts of today's Nanchong City, Xichong County and parts of Peng'an County and Yuechi County. In the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, while implementing the system of counties and counties, they also implemented the system of enfeoffing princes and meritorious officials with nobility, food and fiefdoms. Therefore, among its administrative divisions, in addition to counties and counties, there is also "country". Anhan County was later called "Chongguo". Although it is unclear when Chongguo was placed, according to the explanation of Bajun in "Hanshu Geography", Bajun included Langzhong, Jiangzhou and Linjiang. , Anhan, Danqu, Chongguo, Fuling, etc. It can be seen that in the Western Han Dynasty, there was a state of confinement. According to the "Confederation" listed in the Bajun Articles, "the second year of Yongyuan was divided into Langzhong and settled in the middle." Some people infer from this that Chongguo was abolished and merged into Langzhong County in the early Eastern Han Dynasty. The area of ??the country included the southern part of today's Langzhong and the southern counties. In the fourth year of Emperor Xian's reign of the Han Dynasty (193), the country was renamed Nanchong and Xichong. The Nanchong Kingdom area included today's eastern part of Nanfang County, Peng'an County and the northern part of Gaoping District. The city is located in Liuyi Township, Southern County. In the 18th year of Emperor Wen's reign (598) of the Sui Dynasty, Anhan and Basi counties were merged into one county. Because it was located in the south of Chongguo, it was named Nanchong County. The name Shunqing began in the third year of Baoqing (1227), the reign of Emperor Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty. In that year, Guozhou was promoted to Shunqing Prefecture. It turned out that Lizong had served as the Tuan Lian envoy of Guozhou before he became emperor. After he ascended the throne, he issued an edict to upgrade Guozhou, where he first lived as an official, to a prefecture. In the 20th year of the Yuan Dynasty (1283), Shunqing Mansion was renamed Shunqing Road, and it was still Shunqing Mansion in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In 1911, because the prefecture and county were in the same city, the county office was eliminated and the prefecture was retained, and the Shunqing Prefecture Governor's Office was established. In the second year of the Republic of China, the Shunqing Office was renamed the Nanchong County Governor's Office, and the name "Shunqing" was officially cancelled. By the administrative division adjustment in 1993, as the main part of Nanchong city, the place name Shunqing was reused. Guocheng is another name for Nanchong. Its name originated from Guozhou in the early Tang Dynasty. In the fourth year of Emperor Wude's reign (621), Guozhou was established, with jurisdiction over four counties: Nanchong, Xiangru, Xichong, and Langchi (today's northern part of Yingshan County). "Old Book of Tang" says that "Guozhou" was named after "Yuyue Mountain". According to research, Guoshan is a small hill in the Xishan Mountains southwest of Nanchong City (behind the present-day Provincial Silk School). At that time, there were "many yellow tangerines" on the mountain. The organizational system of Guozhou was maintained until the establishment of Shunqing Prefecture in the third year of Baoqing (1227), the reign of Emperor Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty. Later, although the state system was abolished long ago, people still used to call Nanchong the fruit city.
