The origin of He Youping's name

According to historical documents, it has gone through three stages: Heishiping, Xu Ping and He Youping. Later, a Xu family was formed on the ancient river Youping, so the name of Heishiping was named after this family, and later it was gradually renamed as. This time, about before the Yuan Dynasty.

A notable feature of China clan culture is that it likes to use surnames to name place names, so as to show the power of this clan. According to the 1983 edition of Dianjiang County Records, there are 7 communes (townships and towns), 8 farms, 6 brigades (villages) and 868 residential areas, courtyards, mountains, rivers and artificial buildings in Dianjiang County. It can be seen that Chinese surname culture has far-reaching influence. According to historical records, the name of "He Yiping" was about the middle of the fifteenth century. The Record of Fuzhou records: "In the summer and May of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen (AD 1643), thirteen thieves in Jiangbei shook the Yellow River, surrendered to the heavenly king Yuan Tao, and attacked Heyouping against Liu Weiming and others." Explain that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the name He Youping had spread all over the country. It has a history of over 550 years.

There are several legends about He Youping's name:

First, Fuzhou Annals quoted a new edition of Golden Calendar: "Brother Zhang Xiupu of Fuzhou said that Yizu was from Macheng, Huguang. Ming Hongwu first became a shepherd in Fuzhou and died in his official position. Poverty will not recur. His son was not buried. One day, I went to Blackstone in Xu Ping. I saw two old men playing chess. One old man was watching. He looked very old and had a beard. A man sat next to him, pretending to watch the victory or defeat. The two old people looked at each other for a long time and couldn't stop. The old man next to him pointed to the plate and said,' I'll show you this critical point.' Looking closely, the three old people suddenly turned into big cranes and flew away. Some said: This must be a lucky hole, so I buried it. Since then, the Kejia family has been endless and endless, and it is a famous family in Fuyang. "Since then, the name Heyouping has spread.

Secondly, "Dianjiang County Records" contains: "Legend has it that once there was an emperor who wanted to choose a beautiful place to build the imperial city, so he put a pair of golden cranes in the courts of various places for choice. This kind of white crane can understand human language and distinguish between good and bad. It will never go to a beautiful place. If it finds a good place, it will never come back. One morning, the white crane came over today's Heyouping, flying all over the mountains and rivers there, and then landed on this land at noon, and never flew again. People call this place "peace". When the court received a report that the crane refused to leave, it sent a minister to check it. When the minister arrived, he met an old woman who was cooking in a Yao shop and asked,' Can an imperial city be built here?' The old woman didn't catch what you said. She mistakenly thought she was asking if the rice cooker had drained. She quickly replied, "No! No drainage! The emperor learned that the old woman said something "untenable" and thought it was unlucky, so he stopped building the imperial city here. " This story is widely spread in Fuling, Changshou, Fengdu, Dianjiang and Chongqing.

Third, the legend of the old man He Youping.

In ancient times, there were two immortals playing chess on a big stone on the ping. After several generations, it was a draw, which drew cheers from the chess watchers and immediately alarmed the two old chess players and gave a cheerful laugh. After the laughter, the two old people turned into a pair of white cranes and flew into the sky, flying around the ping for three weeks and soaring into the sky. He Youping got his name from this. The big stone that the old man played chess, named "Chessboard Stone", is still in Jingfeng Village, Baijia Town.

Fourth, this story is widely circulated in Shangping.

In ancient times, there was an emperor who sent people to build the imperial city in the world, and chose today's crane to swim flat. According to the etiquette, a ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven should be held and reported to the Jade Emperor of Heaven for approval. The Jade Emperor received a report and appointed an Antarctic immortal to solicit public opinions. The mount of the Antarctic Xianweng is a white crane. He was ordered to fly around the crane for three weeks, and then landed in front of Mrs. Liu in Baohe Village. Mrs. Liu was cooking at that time, and the rice had just entered the pot. The Antarctic fairy has lived in heaven for a long time, and she is not proficient in folk grammar in eastern Chongqing, nor does she have a translation guide with her. The Antarctic fairy asked Mrs. Liu mindlessly, "Can you stand still?" His original intention is to ask whether it is possible to establish an imperial city here. Mrs. Liu did not understand the intention of the leader correctly, and mistakenly thought that she was asking her if the rice in the rice cooker had been drained. Because the meal had just been cooked, she immediately replied, "No."The Antarctic fairy took Mrs. Liu's words as the only basis and immediately went home to answer that the Jade Emperor could not stand it. The jade emperor was convinced of the report of the Antarctic fairy Weng and decided not to establish an imperial capital here. The news spread all over the world. Although the Imperial Capital was not built, people forgave him for his bureaucratic mistakes in order not to forget the hardships of the Antarctic Xianweng in the lower world, and named him "Heyouping" as a permanent memorial.

The above legends have different purport, but they have one thing in common, that is, the name of Crane Youping is related to "Crane" or "Crane Tour". Wherever cranes go, there are often green mountains and green waters, fish and shrimp in groups, lush forests and grass, and many kind people, which reflects the harmonious coexistence between the natural environment and human society. From the perspective of modern science, He Youping is located near 30 north latitude. It is the junction of Huangnichang anticline, Qingkou anticline, Gao Feng syncline and Bashansi syncline, and the intersection of Neocathaysian structure and north-south structure. It is a gathering place of earth and gas, which brings a certain "aura" to the creatures here, and it is naturally a land of feng shui.
