Why is Yanjiao called Yanjiao?

Yanjiao's name comes from its ancient geographical location and history. According to historical records, Yanjiao was the border area of Yan in ancient times, so it was called "Yanjiao". The word "Yan" here refers to Yan State, and "suburb" refers to suburbs and frontiers. So the name "Yanjiao" is actually a description of its geographical location. The name "Yanjiao" not only reflects its geographical environment, but also reveals its profound historical and cultural background.

Yan State (65438 BC+0044 BC-222 BC), one of the vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty, one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States and a branch of the Zhou Dynasty. This country lasted for 822 years. After Zhou Wuwang's business was destroyed, it was awarded Ji Shiyu, which is now the Gyeonggi area, which is Yan Zhaogong. Before the 7th century, Yan extended to northern Hebei and western Liaoning, and after it annexed Jizhou, it established Jizhou (Beijing) as its capital. In the first 323 years, Yan Yi was king. There was a rebellion before 3 16. Two years later, in the name of putting down the rebellion, the army was sent to destroy Yan. 3 12 years ago, Zhao Wuling's son (Yan Zhaowang) returned to China and Yan returned to the motherland. Yan Zhaowang recruited wise men, made great efforts, and appointed Le Yi to attack Chyi Chin and break East Hu and North Korea, which was a great success.
