What is the origin of the place name of Yangliuqing in Tianjin?

One early spring, the lake ice gradually opened, and Master Gan Long got on the boat and went all the way from Tongzhou to Weijin Town. He rested at the north exit and went downstream to the southwest. At Guliukou (Yangliuqing), our eyes suddenly froze. Liu Yong, the minister of the same trade, saw it and quickly followed the eyes of Master Qianlong. I saw a young girl walking towards the river with a bamboo basket on the shore.

The girl has a slender waist and delicate eyebrows and eyes, but her plain face is somewhat graceful. She went to the lake, put down the bamboo basket and began to wash clothes. The light reflected between her eyebrows seems to add a touch of makeup, which is a good picture of herself. Master Ganlong was fascinated. Although the ship sailed far away, his eyes never left the girl, and his head twisted behind his neck.

Liu Yong smiled and deliberately asked, "Long live the grandfather, what do you think is the most powerful thing in the world?" Gan Long's mind was still on that girl, and he didn't even think about Liu Yong's problem. He casually replied, "Tiger!" Liu Yong shook his head and said, "No." Gan Long added: "Leopard!" Liu Yong shook his head again: "It's still wrong. Think again? " Gan Long was a little impatient and said angrily, "This is not a tiger or a leopard. What do you think it is? "

With a mysterious smile, Liu Yong bowed his head slightly and made a gesture of confession: "I dare not say." Seeing him like this, Lord Qianlong became interested in this question: "I forgive your innocence, but tell me what is the greatest power in the world." Liu Yong said, "It's a woman." When Master Qianlong heard this, his face became hot: "What does Ai Qing mean?" Liu Yong said: "I just saw the women on the shore taking the lead in tapping. Do you think women have the greatest strength? "

Hearing this, Master Gan Long realized that his face was feverish, but he argued: "I didn't look at that woman, I looked at the willow tree on that embankment. Look at the towering willows and graceful wickers, how green they are! " Then, in order to change the subject, he casually asked, "So Liu, I really want to ask you a question. What is this place? " This sudden question made liuyong stunned. He didn't know that this small village along the river was originally called Taiping Zhuang, and later it was renamed Guliukou.

However, Liu Yong is resourceful. He remembered what Master Qianlong had just said and replied, "This place is called Yangliuqing." When Master Gan Long heard that Liu Yong was flattering him, he smiled: "Well, this place is called Yangliuqing!" " Since then, the village in the western suburbs of Tianjin has been called Yangliuqing, and the beauty of Yangliuqing has become a mantra.

Yangliuqing Town belongs to Xiqing District, Tianjin. It is the residence of Xiqing District government and the political, economic and cultural center of Xiqing District.

Yangliuqing Town was originally named Liukou and later renamed Liukou. In the second year of Jin Dynasty (12 14), Liukou Town was established, which was the beginning of the town's administrative system, and was renamed Yangliuqing Town at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty. Yangliuqing Town was built in Ming Dynasty.

Before the Qing Dynasty, Yangliuqing Town was subordinate to Zhangwu, Pingshu, Lucheng, Wuqing, Jinghai and Tianjin. During the Republic of China, it belonged to Tianjin County. From 65438 to 0949, it was a town directly under the jurisdiction of Hebei Province, belonging to Tianjin area.

After its establishment, People's Republic of China (PRC) successively belonged to Hebei Province, Tianjin Special Zone of Hebei Province, Jinghai County, Nankai District of Tianjin and the western suburbs of Tianjin (now renamed Xiqing District). Yangliuqing Commune was established in 1958, and Xijiao was established in 1962. At the same time, Yangliuqing was placed in the western suburbs. The town was built in 1987.

Yangliuqing has a strong flavor of folk culture. The old theater, archway and Wenchang Pavilion in the town are called the Three Treasures of Yangliuqing, and Wenchang Pavilion still exists today. In the Qing Dynasty, there were more than 40 famous Chongwen Academy and ancient temples in Jinmen.

There are still ruins of Puliang Baota, Hongji Temple and Baitan Temple. Shi Jia quadrangles located in the town in the late Qing Dynasty are famous in North China for their magnificent scale and gorgeous architecture. These cultural sites are isomorphic with the quaint streets, quadrangles and ancient canals in the Qing Dynasty, forming a beautiful picture of Yangliuqing customs.

Yangliuqing (20 kilometers west of Tianjin) has a 600-year-old folk woodblock New Year picture, which was produced in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties. At that time, a folk artist who was good at carving took refuge in Yangliuqing town and carved some door gods and kitchen gods on holidays. People in the town rushed to imitate them. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the Grand Canal was dredged again, and the exquisite paper and watercolor in the south were transported to Yangliuqing, which made the painting art here develop.
