What is the origin of Pingxiang place names?

According to legend, in ancient times, there was a grass on the water-Cao Ping, which was called Pingxiang because it was the hometown of Cao Ping. In Yuanhe County Records compiled from 806 to 820 AD, Li Ji, the prime minister of Tang Xianzong, explained that "there is much grass here, hence the name" after recording the place name of Pingxiang. & ltBR & gt& ltBR & gt has another legend, which is more interesting. According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, King Zhao of Chu visited Pingxiang. When crossing the river, he saw something flowing downstream. "You touch the boat directly and the boat people take it away. Wang Da is very strange. I asked all the ministers and I couldn't recognize him. " The king of Chu sent messengers to discuss with Confucius with that thing and gift. When Confucius saw something, he said in surprise, "This is plain and auspicious, and only the monarch who dominates the vassal state can get it!" " "Special envoy puzzled. Q: "How did Sir know it was called Shi Ping? Confucius said, "When I was traveling around the world, I asked about the ferry crossing in Chu. By the way, I heard a nursery rhyme that the king of Chu crossed the river flat and solid, as big as a bucket, as round as red and as sweet as a secret. So I know. " The envoy asked again, "Do you always get this kind of ping? Confucius said, "How is this possible?" It is rare to see the essence of heaven and earth in a hundred years! Now the king of Chu has got it, which is a sign that Chu will be revived. When you go back, you can congratulate the king of Chu for me. "Envoys report back one by one. The king of Chu was very happy to hear this. He was surprised by Confucius' erudition. Later, people called it "Ping Shili" and Pingxiang. & ltBR & gt& ltBR & gt Since then, He You, a poet of the Song Dynasty, based on the ancient monument of Zhaowang Temple in the north of the county, wrote "Ode to the Beginning". When Huang Tingjian, a famous poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, visited his brother, he wrote a poem praising Pingxiang. The poem says: nursery rhymes have been auspicious in Chu, and sure enough, they will be returned. If it weren't for my father, Andrew would be famous in this town!
