Lixiahe area in Jiangsu. What does Lixiahe mean? What's the origin?

There are two explanations:

1. The long and narrow water area smaller than the lake but larger than the river refers specifically to the east and west lakes of Yixing

2. Ji is for wine Homophonic, there is such a story for your reference

On his thirty-sixth birthday, Zhou Chu (242-297) paid homage to the spirit throne and sword of his deceased father in Mianyun Pavilion, Jinglou, Zhou Mansion, and accepted the sword as ordered by his mother. After that, he went to the street to play with swords with his companion Zhou Jing and his servant Zhou Ming. Zhou Jing advised the young master to go to a restaurant and drink to relieve his boredom.

To the north of Shenxi Bridge, there is the largest salou in Yangxian County at that time. It is three stories high and three rooms wide. It is called "Five Lakes House". Zhou Chu, Zhou Jing, and Zhou Ming reached the third floor, and the drinkers quickly avoided them. The plaque hangs high: "Five Lakes Family", with the words on both sides: "Toast a glass and pour all the wine from the East and West Lakes, open the window and look alone at the snow-filled sky of Nanshan."

The bartender brought the wine and food upstairs, and the book boy Standing on both sides with the servants. Zhou Chu ordered the waiter to go downstairs and call someone to accompany him to drink, but he returned alone. Zhou Chu went downstairs by himself, picked up the collars of the fat and thin old men, and went upstairs to drink with them. Chu Pei smiled and said: "I am not Zhou Chu for being rude. Although I am a warrior, I am also a scholar. From the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the common people in the alleys, if you have any questions, feel free to ask them. If I can't answer, how about a drink as a penalty!" The old man nodded in agreement. The fat man asked what was written on the plaque: "Five Lakes, what does it mean?" Zhou Chu pondered for a moment,

Zhou Jing bowed and did not bother the young master to answer, saying: "During the Warring States Period, the King of Wu defeated the Kingdom of Yue, and King Gou Jian of Yue was captured. He was brave enough to use Fan Li's plan to offer beauty to the king of Wu. He seemed to be obedient, but secretly spent ten years to gather a wealthy country and a strong army to finally destroy the Wu country. "It is said that Fan Li and Xishi were boating on the five lakes." Zhou Chu asked: "Which five lakes?" Zhou Jing replied: "Taihu Lake, Gehu Lake (to the west of Yixing, called West Taihu Lake), Tao Lake, East Lake, and West Lake" are. Five lakes. (According to "Zizhi Tongjian", the last two lakes are Jinding Lake and Meiliang Lake. It is also said that the last two lakes are Shehu and Guihu. It is also said that the five lakes are Taihu.) Zhou Chu said again: "The Five Lakes Ji family, this The word '氿' is very special. What does it mean?" The boy replied: "After Qin Shihuang (dynasty from 221 BC to 207 AD) unified the world, he was touring Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue and passing through Tongguandu at the mouth of the Xiangjiang River when he encountered a sudden strong wind and almost died. He overturned the boat and returned in anger. A few years later, while touring Kuaiji, he came out of Yangxian and climbed Nanshan Mountain in the spring. The wind was beautiful and the sun was shining brightly. The First Emperor was overjoyed and said to Prime Minister Li Si: "This is the Southeast Mountain. Why should it be sealed to Yunheng Mountain?" Nanshan is called Nanyue, and the town is moved to Tongguan (coffin) town. The local elders honor it as 'Junshan'."

Qin Shihuang held a meeting with his ministers and hosted a banquet for the local elders in Yangxian. But there was not much wine to drink, so he gave his father and old people some water from the East and West Lakes instead of wine. In ancient times, the emperor was called the "nine-five" emperor. "Nine" is the largest number among single digits and is supreme. "Five" refers to east, west, south, north, and middle, including everything. The world belongs to the emperor. So the word "wine" was changed to the word "氿". (According to "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", Emperor Wu of the Later Han Dynasty toured Mount Huo to Tianzhu Peak, followed the example of the First Emperor of Qin and decreed that Mount Huo be a Nanyue, so there are three Nanyue in China. The map of the Southern Inspection of the First Emperor of the Yu Dynasty and the list of famous mountains and temples in China are also certified with this.)

On the third floor of the "Wuhu Jijia", Zhou Chu drank a cup of gù alone and saw the two old men looking sad, thinking that the answer was not satisfactory. The two elders shook their heads, Zhou Chu was puzzled. The two elders said that the people were worried and the three evils were rampant. Zhou Chu urgently asked what the "three evils" were. The fat old man said, "Nanshan tigers (white-fronted tigers) and Cangpu dragons hurt people day and night." Fat old man, Zhou Chu asked again and again, and fat old man pointed out: "Chu Hengxing is in the countryside..." Zhou Chu was stunned for a long time, then suddenly pulled away, shook his head lightly, waved his hands, and went downstairs. The two elders were stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and asked quickly: "Where are you going, young master?" Zhou Chu replied: "Go and shoot the tiger and kill the dragon." So it happened that Zhou Chu found a bow to shoot the tiger, went down to the river to grab a sword and killed the evil dragon, and worked hard. A series of stories such as reading and reforming.
