During the Song Dynasty, was there a small town called Wuzhen?

In the early years of Yuanfeng (1078), there were records of Wudun Town and Qingdun Town. Later, it was renamed Wuzhen and Qingzhen to avoid light and taboo. Song Guangzong ascended the throne in the Southern Song Dynasty. His name is a strange word. He added "Xiang" beside the vertical heart and pronounced "Dun", so the word "Dun" could not be used all over the world. From then on, Wu Dun was named Wuzhen. )

The origin of the name of Wuzhen Town

The ancient names of Wuzhen are Wu Dun and Wushu.

Wu Dun's "dock", Wang Yuzhou said in "On Hill" that "Wuzhen was Wu Dun in ancient times, which was higher than No.4 Mine because of its vein grave ...", which was clearly explained. But why is it called "Wu"? There are many kinds of sayings. One said, "The King of Yue fought for the long sea bag here, so it became Wu, so it was called"; Say "it's the famous land god General Wu"; Speaking of "Wuutuo monument, there is a clear lock in the green", so it has the name of Wuqing. It is said that predecessors have raised objections to this figure, saying that it is either undocumented, attached to the meeting, or lacking historical common sense. Lu Xuebo has refuted this in detail when he edited Qing Wu Town Records. At the same time, he put forward a more reasonable statement, which was put forward by Xiang Xian in the Qing Wu Literature in the 27th year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (1688): "The names of Wu Dun and Qingdun have never been far away ... Since most rivers and mountains have been opened up, why do they still have their names? Everything in the world, such as' green and dripping, across Qilu and high'. And "Chengjiang is as quiet as practice" are vivid descriptions of landscapes. Qing Wu's meaning covers this point. "

Wuzhen is a river alluvial plain with a lot of swamp silt, so its veins are higher than those of No.4 Mine, and its color is deep and fat, so it is named Wu Dun. In fact, such place names are not uncommon in the local area. 9 kilometers away from Wuzhen, there is a village called Hongdun. Its town motto says, "Hongdun is in the west of the town, and the ground is full of graves. The village is named after this. " There is also a village called Zidun next to it, because it is purple stone soil. The names of Hongdun and Zidun provide realistic basis for the vivid description of Wu Dun's name.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wuzhen was the border of wuyue, where Wu stationed troops to prevent crossing the country, so it was called "Wu Garrison". (Li Le said in "Qing Wu Town Records": "The town belongs to Wu, and Wu Shubing is called Shu." "Wuzhen was called Wu Dun in ancient times, and was later called Wude because of wuyue's former Wang Shubing. Now it is called Wuzhen. " But he obviously confused Qian Liu Wang Wuyue with wuyue in the Spring and Autumn Period. Wuzhen has not been called "Wu" since the Tang Dynasty. Besides, the northern border of Wu Yue State, the king of Qian Liu, reaches as far as Changshu, and Wuzhen is relatively inland, so it is obviously meaningless. )

During the Qin Dynasty, Wuzhen belonged to Huiji County, bounded by Chexi (now Shihe River), Wu Dun in the west, Wucheng County in the east and Qingdun in the east. The situation that Wuzhen was divided and ruled by the county began. As for the origin of the "green" of the green pier, Wang Yuzhou pointed out in the Collection of Hill that "fear of bordering Ukraine makes it different from green."

During the Tang Dynasty, Wuzhen belonged to Suzhou Prefecture. In the 13th year of Tang Xiantong (872), the title of "Wuzhen" appeared for the first time in Suo Jing Wang Ming Temple Monument (written by Hong Chu), which was unfounded before. Another monument in this period, Guangfujiao Temple Monument, is called "Wuqin Town". The history of Wuzhen as a "town" may begin from now on. There was an official position in the town at that time.

In the early years of Yuanfeng (1078), there were records of Wudun Town and Qingdun Town. Later, it was renamed Wuzhen and Qingzhen to avoid light and taboo. Song Guangzong ascended the throne in the Southern Song Dynasty. His name is a strange word. He added "Xiang" beside the vertical heart and pronounced "Dun", so the word "Dun" could not be used all over the world. From then on, Wu Dun was named Wuzhen. )

1950 In May, the two towns of Wu and Qing merged and became Wuzhen, which belonged to Tongxiang County and moved its capital to Jiaxing until today.

Geographical location Wuzhen is located at the northern end of Tongxiang City, Zhejiang Province, bordering Huzhou City in the west and Wujiang County in Jiangsu Province in the north. It is the junction of two provinces and three cities. There is a county-level highway Yaozhen line running through the town, which can be connected with provincial salt lake highway, 320 national highway, 3 18 highway and Shanghai-Hangzhou expressway via Yaozhen highway. Wuzhen is 13km away from Tongxiang city, 27km away from Jiaxing, 45km away from Huzhou and 60km away from Wujiang, 80km away from Hangzhou and Suzhou, and 0/40km away from Shanghai.
