Why was the west of the Yellow River called Heyou in history?

This question is very interesting. Some people say that it is based on the feelings of the Yellow River. The upper reaches of the Yellow River is the head and the lower reaches are the feet:

In fact, this is not the case, because if the upstream is the head and the lower reaches are the feet, the word "Jiangzuo" will explain Can't come out

The ancients regarded the east as the left and the west as the right. Therefore, the right side of the river can be called Hexi, and the left side of the river can be called Jiangdong. So we know that, relative to Jiangzuo (Jiangdong), the area before the Yangtze River turns and flows diagonally upward to the northeast should be called Jiangyou (Jiangxi). Take a look at the map and you will know that it is indeed true

It’s easy to talk about things, but why are they divided into left and right in this way? 1 2 Today's hot spots on the next page

Because the saint sits facing south:

Furthermore, the meaning of Jiangzuo and Jiangdong has not changed much from ancient times to the present. In other words, from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they basically refer to the same area, including southern Jiangsu, southern Anhui, northern Zhejiang and Northeastern Jiangxi.

The reason why it is called Jiangdong is because in ancient times, when people crossed the river from the Central Plains to Nanjing, the ferry options available were very limited, so there are stories such as Wu Zixu and Xiang Yu worrying about crossing the river. When ancient people crossed the Yangtze River to go to Nanjing, they mainly took the Wanjiang River, that is, the Anhui section of the Yangtze River, especially before the Middle Ages. Because during the Qin and Han Dynasties, the mouth of the Yangtze River was far from where it is today. A considerable part of today's Tongtai area was outside the mouth of the sea. It was impossible for the ancients to leave the narrow Wanjiang River without crossing the sea, not to mention that the area that was about to become land was already The sandbars are extremely dangerous to cross. After the Middle Ages, the Yangtze River channel gradually formed in Jiangsu Province, and the mouth of the Yangtze River moved eastward, and the name "Jiangnan" gradually became mainstream. Therefore, when standing on the Wanjiang River, especially near Wuhu, the Yangtze River almost flows from north to south, and there is no problem in calling it Jiangdong or Jiangzuo. Secondly, Jiangxi and Jiangyou refer to the same place in the same period, but in different periods, they refer to different things. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Jiangxi and Jiangyou referred to the west of the Wanjiang River, which is today's Jianghuai area. In the Tang Dynasty, the "Jiangnan West Road" was established. Note that the name Jiangnan began to appear at this time. Later, the term Jiangxi gradually formed, and Jiangxi corresponded to Jiangyou, and the meaning of Jiangyou also transferred to today's Jiangxi Province. Therefore, since then, the so-called Jiangyou ethnic lineage, Jiangyou dialect, Jiangyou culture, etc. have been formed, which are all different from Jiangyou and Jiangxi before the Middle Ages

A Myth and Legend of the Yellow River

According to folklore, a long time ago, there was a river god in the Yellow River, known as He Bo. He stood on the bank of the Yellow River. Looking at the water of the Yellow River flowing from west to east, he said excitedly: "The Yellow River is so big. No other river in the world can compare with it. I am the greatest river god!" Someone told him: "What you said is wrong. In the Yellow River, There is a place called Beihai in the east, which is really big." Hebo said, "I don't believe that no matter how big Beihai is, can it be bigger than the Yellow River?" The man said, "Don't say one Yellow River, it's just several Yellow Rivers. Even if the water flows into the North Sea, it won't be able to fill it." He Bo still didn't believe it. The man was helpless and told him: "If you have a chance, go and see the North Sea, and you will understand what I mean." When Hebo came to the mouth of the Yellow River, his eyes lit up, and Poseidon welcomed him with a smile. Hebo looked around and saw The Beihai was vast and boundless. He stared at it blankly for a while, and then said to Beihairuo with deep feeling: "I only know a few principles and think that no one can compare with me. That's me." If I hadn't seen the North Sea with my own eyes today, I would have thought that the Yellow River was unparalleled in the world! In that case, wouldn’t he be laughed at forever by knowledgeable people?
