Why is Yichun called, a city called spring?

Yichun, known as Yuanzhou in ancient times, is one of the central cities in western Jiangxi. Yichun City is located in the northwest of Jiangxi Province. Yichun was called "Agricultural Shangjun" in ancient times and is the birthplace of the "Qinggui of Zen Forest" in Chinese Buddhism. One of the first batch of ecological pilot cities in the country. It is known as "beautiful mountains and clear waters, fertile soil and sweet springs, its atmosphere is like spring, and it is suitable for all seasons". "The bright moon is everywhere, and the moon in Yichun is the brightest." The ancients once wrote in a poem. Mingyue Mountain, located in Yichun City, is one of the birthplaces of this strong moon culture. Mingyue Mountain is named after "there are rocks on the mountain that glow like the moon at night". A series of beautiful scenery such as the sea of ??bamboo, waterfalls, pines, and strange peaks make this famous mountain "pick up the splendor at every step, and the sky is different every mile." According to mythological and epic records, Mingyue Mountain is the hometown of Chang'e and the place where Chang'e flew to the moon. Therefore, Yichun is known as the "Moon Capital" and "Moon City". In the fifth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (202 BC), Liu Bang sent general Chen Ying to pacify the south of the Yangtze River. ). In the sixth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (201 BC), he ordered all counties and cities in the world to build cities. As a result, two new cities appeared in today's Yichun City. One is for Yichun and the other is for Jiancheng. The name Yichun comes from the beautiful spring in the west of the city, which is named after its "summers are cold and winters are warm, and it is as beautiful as spring, and it is pleasant to drink". The name of Jianjian comes from its "creation of a city" (the words "cheng" and "cheng" were commonly used in ancient times). When it was first established, Yichun County governed the urban area of ??today's Yuanhe River Basin, including today's Yuanzhou District, Xinyu City, part of Pingxiang City and part of Zhangshu City. In the first year of Dakang in the Jin Dynasty (280), Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty Sima Yan destroyed Wu. He named Yichun the same name as the Empress Dowager Zhang Chunhua of Xuanmu (grandmother of Sima Yan and wife of Sima Yi). To avoid taboo, Yichun was changed to Yiyang (the name of Yichun city). This is how Yiyang Avenue and Yiyang Bridge got their names). In the 18th year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty (598), it was renamed Yichun. When it was first established, Jiancheng County governed the present-day Jinjiang River Basin area, including today's Gao'an City, Shanggao County, Yifeng County, Wanzai County and part of Zhangshu City. In the fifth year of Tang Wude's reign (622), because the name of Jiancheng County was the same as that of Prince Li Jiancheng, it was renamed Gao'an to avoid taboo. Gao'an is famous for its "topography that looks like high ground but is peaceful". In the sixth year of Yuanguang in the Western Han Dynasty (129 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made Liu, the son of Liu Fa, the king of Changsha, the Marquis of Yichun. In the second year of Yuanshuo (127 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made Liu Cheng's brother Liu Shi the Marquis of Jiancheng. Liu Cheng built Yichun Terrace in Yichun City, and Liu Shi also built Jinsha Terrace two miles southeast of Jiancheng City, both of which are famous places of interest. Today, Jinsha Terrace has been abandoned, but Yichun Terrace still exists. In the second year of Yuanding (115 B.C.), Liu Shi was dismissed and the state of Jiancheng was eliminated. In the fifth year of Yuanding (112 BC), Liu Cheng was exempted and the Marquis of Yichun was eliminated. The territory of today's Yichun City belonged to Yuzhang County in the Han Dynasty (the administrative seat is now Nanchang). In the second year of the Three Kingdoms period (267), Wu Baoding, Sun Wu, established Ancheng County (the administrative seat is today's Anfu), and the Yuan River Basin area was placed under the jurisdiction of Ancheng. The Sui Dynasty unified the world and abolished An into a county. In the 18th year of Kaihuang's reign (598), Yuanzhou was established, and its administrative seat was located in Yichun County. Yuanzhou is named after Yuanshan, and Yuanshan is named after Yuan Jing, a distinguished scholar who lived here in seclusion. When it was first established, Yuanzhou governed three counties: Yichun, Pingxiang, and Xinyu. In the eighth year of Kaibao's reign in the Song Dynasty (975), Wanzai County was included from Junzhou. In the third year of Chunhua (992), Xinyu joined the Linjiang Army. For more than 900 years since then, Yuanzhou has been in charge of four counties: Yichun, Pingxiang, Wanzai and Fenyi. The first state-level administrative agency that appeared in the history of Yichun was Yuanzhou, followed by Jingzhou, and finally Linjiang Army. Jingzhou was established in the fifth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty (622), and its current seat is Gao'an. Soon after, it was renamed "Mizhou" because of the rice produced in Miling, and then "Junzhou" because of the bamboo produced in Yangshan. It was abolished in the eighth year of Takeoku (625). In the tenth year of Baoda in the Southern Tang Dynasty (952), Junzhou was restored. In the first year of Baoqing of the Song Dynasty (1225), Lizong Zhao Yun ascended the throne. Because the name of the state had the same pronunciation with the emperor's name, to avoid taboos, the name had to be changed. At this time, a Ganoderma lucidum plant grew in Biluotang on the back mountain of the state's Yamen, which was regarded as an auspicious sign. Renamed "Ruizhou". Ruizhou has jurisdiction over three counties: Gao'an, Shanggao and Xinchang (now Yifeng). In the second year of Shengyuan of the Southern Tang Dynasty (938), the land of Gao'an and Xingan counties was cut off and Qingjiang County was placed in Xiaotan Town (today's Linjiang Town). In the third year of Chunhua in the Song Dynasty (992), Linjiang Army was established in Qingjiang County (renamed Linjiang Road in the Yuan Dynasty and Linjiang Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty). Its jurisdiction is equivalent to today's Zhangshu City, Xingan County, Xiajiang County and Yushui District of Xinyu City. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Fengxin County, Jing'an County, Fengcheng County, and Tonggu County (then part of Yining Prefecture) were under the jurisdiction of Nanchang Prefecture. Today, Yichun City belongs to the four prefectures of Yuanzhou, Ruizhou, Linjiang and Nanchang.
