First, name it after water.

Life is full of water? Quote from the book of changes: There is water in the sky and 60% in the earth? It is the explanation of natural phenomena by the theory of five elements. The ancients thought that heaven and earth had five sides, yin and yang combined with five elements, heaven and earth lived in the north, and the five elements in the north belonged to water, so it was called?

Tianhe water injection? This is a beautiful legend about Tianshui place names. According to legend, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was continuous drought in Longyou area. One night, the water of Tianhe suddenly poured down, forming a lake in the north of Shangguan City. The local drought has eased, and the people are named? Tianshui Lake? . Local officials thought it was an auspicious arrival and reported it to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very happy, so he ordered a new county to be built by the lake in the north of Gao Shan, and named it? Tianshui county? . For Tianshui Lake in the north of Shangzhai City, Water Mirror Notes also records:? There is a lake in the north of Gao Shan, and a white dragon emerges from the lake, so it is named Tianshui County. ? It can be seen that there is indeed a lake in the north of Shangguan City, but unlike the legend, Zhu believes that Tianshui is named after the white dragon in the lake, so it is named Tianshui County.

Tianshui borrows river.

This beautiful legend is widely circulated in Tianshui because of its romantic color, and it is also a faint memory of people's long history.

Second, the setting of Tianshui County

From Warring States to Qin and Han Dynasties, Tianshui belonged to Longxi County. In the third year of Ding Yuan in the Western Han Dynasty (1 14), Tianshui County was located in Pingxiang (now Tongwei County, Gansu Province). Its jurisdiction covers Dingxi, Tongwei, Jingning, Zhuanglang, Qin 'an, Gangu, Qingshui, Sol Zhang and parts of Tianshui, Yuzhong and Longxi.

In the seventeenth year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (74 years), Shuijun was changed to Hanyang County and moved to Jixian County (now Gangu County, Gansu Province), which governed thirteen cities. In the Three Kingdoms, Wei was renamed Tianshui County. Notes on Shuijing:? Its water (Weishui) reaches the north of Jixian County. Qin Wugong ten years (before 688), Ji Rong, home county. So Tianshui county is under its jurisdiction. Wang Mang changed his name to Rong Zhen County, called Jizhi, and Hanyang County in the seventeenth year of Han Yongping (74), and the city was named Xiboju, Xiao Wei. ? (Li Daoyuan, "Water Mirror Note? Li Daoyuan clearly pointed out that Jixian County was ruled by Tianshui County. Western Jin Dynasty (266? 3 16), Tianshui County was placed under Shangguan (Qinzhou District, Tianshui City).

It took about 380 years from the establishment of Tianshui County to the official relocation in the Western Jin Dynasty, including Pingxiang County (Tongwei County)19/year and Jixian County (Gangu County) 190 years or more. In other words, Tianshui County has not been in shangyi county (Qinzhou District, Tianshui City) since it was founded. So, go to the top? Tianhe water injection? Where did the legend come from?

Third,? Tianhe water injection? One legend is that ...

1, where is Tianshui Lake?

Shangguan, in the pre-Qin period, was the land of Guan Rong. In the tenth year of Qin Wugong (688 BC), Guan Rong was cut and the land was taken as Guan County. Han Yinzhi. In order to distinguish it from Xiatuo (Weinan, Shaanxi), it was changed to Shangtuo. Summit? Han county belongs to Longxi county. Emperor Wu is divided into Tianshui County. Nan 'an County was founded in the later Han Dynasty. After Wei Dynasty, the seal was changed from Shangtuo to Shangfeng. Sui returned to Shangguan and established Qin Zhou. There is a lake in front of the state, which increases or decreases at four o'clock, hence the name Tianshui County. ? (Old Tang Book) It is mentioned here that Tianshui County is named after the lake in front of the state. Careful analysis has two meanings: first, is there a lake in front of the state? This state refers to the Qin Zhou established in the Sui Dynasty, indicating that at least in the Sui Dynasty, lakes still existed. And second? Increase or decrease at four o'clock, hence the name Tianshui County? In short, the name of tomorrow's water army will rise from the lake. This material reflects people's cognition of Tianshui County in Sui and Tang Dynasties, which is very objective and rational without any myth.

So? Tianhe water injection? When did this legend become a myth? Is there any historical basis? First of all, you can be sure. Tianhe water injection? There is a historical basis, that is, the three years of the Western Han Emperor Ding Yuan (before 1 14), which is beyond doubt. Secondly, it is said that the establishment of Zhongtian Water County is due to the existence of Tianshui Lake.

2. The myth of Tianshui Lake

Tianshui Lake is located in Nanqili, Tianshui City, Gansu Province. Hanshu? Geography "Tianshui County Note: Shigu said:? . Qin Zhou "said that the land in front of the county town does not increase in winter and summer, because it is very famous. ? Liu Song (420-479) Guo Zhongzhan wrote The Story of Qin Zhou, which one was mentioned? The lake in front of the county seat. Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534) Li Daoyuan's Notes on Water Classics: Tianshui County Governance? The five cities are connected, and there is a lake in the north city. White dragons emerge from the lake, and the wind and rain follow. Therefore, Ding Yuan, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, changed the water county for three years. ? According to Water Mirror Notes, Tianshui Lake is located in the north of the city, which is a myth. In the literature before the Tang Dynasty, only Shuijing Zhuan was a myth, and other geographical records were named after lakes in front of counties or states. It is worth mentioning that the mythical color of Tianshui Lake is not what people call Zhu. Tianhe water injection? , but? A white dragon comes out of the lake, with the wind and rain? . Visible,? Tianhe water injection? Legends are not based on documents, but oral legends.

3、? Tianhe water injection? One legend is that ...

Only the name of Tianshui County is recorded in ancient literature, because there is a lake in front of the county, and there is no legend of Tianhe water injection. Even the legend of white dragon in Zhuhu Lake has nothing to do with Tianhe water injection. In addition, there is another important fact. At the beginning of the establishment of Tianshui County, it should be in Pingxiang County (Tongwei County), and Tianshui County has moved to Shanghai for 380 years. Therefore, the theory of Tianhe water injection is not recorded in the literature, which is incompatible with the real history, so the legend should be a folk legend formed after the Tang Dynasty.

Fourth, the historical truth of the legend of Tianhe water injection

1、? If it comes from the sky? Heaven-man induction thought

Tianhe, which was called astrology by the ancients, was thought to start at the end of the east dustpan and divide into two roads: north and south. In fact, it is a galaxy composed of countless stars. The starry night is silvery white and looks like a river, hence the name. Also known as Xinghe, Tianhan, Han Yun and Yinhe. Tianhe in Tianshui legend, the Milky Way in the sky, is a reputation full of romanticism, and it is also the long-cherished wish of the ancients to pray for good weather when it doesn't rain.

However, there is indeed a river near Tianshui called Tianhe, which is a tributary of Hanshui River in the west of Yunxi County, Tianshui, Hubei Province. "Yu Fang Minutes" Hanshui Chapter: Tianhe? It's a mile southwest of the county seat. Out of the northwest boundary of the county, drive down the mountain and reach the Nanhan River in the county, hence the name Humingyu. ? If it comes from the sky? Tell the story of the ancients naming rivers? Tianhe? The reason is also circumstantial evidence of the origin of Tianshui Lake. It contains the idea of the connection between man and nature.

Dong Zhongshu in Han Dynasty inherited the theory of disaster and difference in the Biography of the Ram. The country will lose its way, and Japan will be the first disaster to inform. ? Emphasize? On the occasion of heaven and man, become one? . This idea was very popular in the Han Dynasty, and the title of Tian Han (100- 97) was a true reflection of it. Tianshui? Tianhe water injection? Legend is based on the deduction and interpretation of the thought of heaven and man induction in Han Dynasty.

2, the true reflection of natural phenomena

Legend has it that Tianshui area in the early Han Dynasty suffered from years of war and drought, and the people were miserable. One night, suddenly, the wind roared in the sky, lightning and thunder, and a red light hit the ground. Suddenly, the earth shook, there was a loud noise and thunder, and a big crack appeared on the ground. I saw the river falling from the sky and pouring into the cracks, forming a lake called? Tianshui Lake? . This lake? Spring does not dry up, summer does not overflow, and the four seasons are abrupt? . People say that this lake is connected with the Tianhe River. What do they call it? Tianshuijing? . This legend probably reflects a major earthquake, and Tianshui Lake should be the dammed lake where the earthquake occurred.

The Western Han Dynasty is the second natural disaster period in China history since the pre-Qin period. There were 186 natural disasters in the Western Han Dynasty in 2 10. The main earthquakes in central and eastern Gansu in the early Han Dynasty were: 65438 BC+February 093 (the second year of Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty), Lintao, Gansu, with a magnitude of 6-7, with more than 400 earthquakes. 65438 BC+February 22, 086 (two years after the Han Dynasty) 33.8N 105.6E Wudu, Gansu, 6-7, with 760 deaths. (Zheng, Study on the Law of Great Earthquakes)

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for 54 years, three earthquakes occurred. Hanshu, BC 13 1,? May, earthquake. Forgive the world. ? "Xichang County Records" records:? At the beginning of Ding Yuan, the earthquake silted up the county seat. . An earthquake of magnitude 8-9 occurred in Xichang.

These recorded earthquakes occurred in the early Han Dynasty, and the epicenter was not far from Tianshui, which probably caused the formation of a dammed lake in Shangyuan County, Tianshui. Therefore, the legend of Tianhe water injection should be a true reflection of this natural disaster in the early Han Dynasty.

3、? Tianhe water injection? This is a good wish of people.

Tianhe water injection? According to legend, it is mainly popular in Qinzhou District of Tianshui City, namely Gushang 'an County. There is no such legend in other counties. Even in Qinzhou district, there are differences about the location of Tianhe water injection.

The main river in Tianshui is a tributary of Weishui? When we reached the river, Tianshui people read it as Xi River, which was called Waishui in ancient times. The river passing through the city passes through the city from the west of Qinzhou City and flows into the Weihe River in Maiji District of Tianshui City. According to Tianshui local chronicles, it was a long time ago that water flowed eastward to the downtown area of this city. Tianhe water injection? Location. ? Think of Tianshui county in the southwest of Tianshui city, that is? Tianhe water injection? Location. And "Zhu", Tianshui County Governance? The five cities are connected, and there is a lake in the north city. White dragons emerge from the lake, and the wind and rain follow. Therefore, Ding Yuan, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, changed the water county for three years. ? According to this, the ancients thought that Tianshui Lake was in the north of the city, but now people think that it is in the west of the city, which is very different. Visible,? Tianhe water injection? Legend is only a deduction based on history, without any evidence. The only historical basis is the combination and imagination of historical phenomena in Tianshui area, which expresses the worship of natural forces and the desire for a better life.

Tianshui, a this beautiful city with a long history, has various conjectures about the origin of its name. Tianhe water injection? This is a romantic legend. This legend has its historical basis, but there is a time-space deviation. The earliest establishment of Tianshui County was not in Qin Zhou (Gao Shan), and the location of Tianshui Lake was different, so it was only people's interpretation of history and wishes for a better life. Even so, it will not affect the spread of legends in Tianshui area, but add a sense of mystery, which is the result of people's spiritual activities.
