The origin of Chongqing

There are three explanations for the origin of the name Chongqing:

It was named after the emperor's "hidden vassal" (referring to the fief before the emperor succeeded to the throne). It was the "first celebration" for Song Guangzong to make Duke Zhou a vassal, and then it was the "second celebration" for Duke Zhou to succeed to the throne. As a result, the Duke of Zhou was upgraded to the Chongqing government and had a double celebration.

It was named after celebrating Guangzong's accession to the throne, and both ancestors (mothers) and fathers (relatives) were present. When Song Guangzong acceded to the throne, his grandmother Xiansheng was still kind and fierce, and she was called "Shousheng Empress", while her father Xiaozong was called "Tai Shang Huang". Both of them attended Guangzong's accession ceremony, so they called it "Chongqing". Therefore, "Duke Zhou" is called "Chongqing's home".

It is a combination of the place names of two adjacent places. According to the records of Shu Guang Ji, Interpretation of Ancient and Modern Counties, Chongqing House in Ming Dynasty, Chongqing is called Chongqing because the southern part of Chongqing is "Shao Qing House (governing today's Pengshui)", the northern part is "Shunqing House (governing today's Nanchong City)" and the middle is "Zhou Gong".
