Why is the west of the Yellow River called Youjiang in history?

This question is very interesting. Some people say that according to the feeling of the Yellow River, the upper reaches of the Yellow River are the head and the lower reaches are the feet:

In fact, this is not the case, because if it is upstream, downstream or at the foot, the word "Jiang Zuo" cannot be explained.

The ancients Zuo Dong right west. So the right side of the river can be called Hexi, and the left side of the river can be called Jiangdong. Therefore, we know that, relative to Jiangzuo (Jiangdong), the place before the Yangtze River turns obliquely upward and flows northeast should be called Jiangyou (Jiangxi). Take a look at the map and you will know that it is true.

It's easy to say, but why do you want to divide it up like this?

Moreover, the meanings of Jiangzuo and Jiangdong have little difference from ancient times to the present, that is to say, from Qin and Han Dynasties to Sui and Tang Dynasties to Ming and Qing Dynasties, they basically refer to the same area, including southern Jiangsu, southern Anhui, northern Zhejiang and northeastern Jiangxi. It is called Jiangdong, because the ancient people crossed the river from the Central Plains to Nanjing, and the ferry choices were very limited, so there were stories about Wu Zixu and Xiang Yu who were worried about crossing the river. The ancients crossed the Yangtze River to Nanjing, mainly taking the Wanjiang River, that is, the Anhui section of the Yangtze River, especially before the Middle Ages. Because in the Qin and Han dynasties, the Yangtze River estuary was far away from today's position, and a considerable part of today's Tongtai area was outside the seaport at that time. It is impossible for the ancients to cross the sea with a narrow John Wan, not to mention the area that is about to land, where sandbars crisscross and are extremely dangerous. After the Middle Ages, the Yangtze River waterway in Jiangsu Province gradually formed, the estuary moved eastward, and the title of "Jiangnan" gradually became the mainstream. Therefore, standing in the Wanjiang River, especially near Wuhu, the Yangtze River flows almost north and south, called Jiangdong and Jiangzuo, and there is no problem. Secondly, Jiangxi and Jiangyou refer to the same place in the same period, but they refer to different places in different periods. Jiangxi and Jiangyou in Qin and Han Dynasties refer to the west of Wanjiang, which is today's Jianghuai area. "Jiangnan West Road" was established in the Tang Dynasty. Note that at this time, the appellation of Jiangnan began to appear. Later, the concept of Jiangxi was gradually formed, and Jiangxi also corresponds to Jiangyou, and the meaning of Jiangyou has also been transferred to today's Jiangxi Province. So the so-called Jiangyou clan, Jiangyou dialect, Jiangyou culture and so on have been formed since then, which is different from Jiangyou Jiangxi before the Middle Ages.

Myths and legends of the Yellow River

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a river god named Hebo in the Yellow River. He stood on the bank of the Yellow River. Looking at the Yellow River flowing from west to east, he said excitedly; "The Yellow River is so big that no river in the world can compare with it. I am the biggest river god! " Someone told him, "What you said is wrong. There is a place called Beihai in the east of the Yellow River. That's really big. " Herb said, "I don't believe it. No matter how big the North Sea is, can it be bigger than the Yellow River? " The man said: "Don't mention a Yellow River, even if several Yellow Rivers flow into the North Sea, they are not satisfied." Hebo never believed it. The man was helpless and said to him, "You will understand what I am talking about when you have a chance to see the North Sea." When Herb came to the mouth of the Yellow River, his eyes sparkled and Poseidon welcomed him with a smile. Hebo looked around and saw Wang Yang in the North Sea, as far as the eye could see. He looked at it blankly for a while and said to Beihai Ruo with deep feelings: If you only know some truths, you think no one can compare with yourself. This is me. If I hadn't seen the North Sea with my own eyes today, I would have thought the Yellow River was chinese odyssey! In that case, you will never be laughed at by knowledgeable people. "
