Why are there Henan, Hebei, Shandong and Shanxi, only Jiangxi without Jiangdong?

The epidemic in the year of Gengzi made us know Henan again. Henan has a "hard core" that is no less than Shandong.

In the face of possible market supervision problems, the Shandong provincial government directly released the malicious words: "Those who make a fortune will lose their blood!"

In Shandong, it is no longer the rooster who wakes you up every day, but the village head with a hot temper. As for how strict this screening work is?

Even dogs in this village can't go to the village next door to see their girlfriends.

The word "reality" has almost become exclusive to Shandong people. Just ask you, is it tough enough?

Needless to say, there are countless circles around Shandong and Henan this time, and there is another origin in history-the ancient "Shandong" is actually east of Lushan, including Henan.

I remember that in the history of high school, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin often fought with six countries, and as long as it sent troops, it hit Shandong.

Combined with the geographical knowledge we have learned, it will make us wonder if Qin is really that high, otherwise, how could we go out of Shaanxi and hit Shandong directly? There is such a big Henan province in the middle, so you Qin, Han, Zhao and Wei are all air. ...

Speaking of which, many place names in China are really puzzling. Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong and Guangxi. , the naming source is very miscellaneous.

There are also careful children's shoes that say, why is there no Shaanxi East and why is there no Jiangxi Jiangdong? Today, I will take a closer look at what is going on.

Aren't the "mountains" in Shandong and Shanxi the same mountain?

Let's start with this mountain in Shanxi, Shandong. This mountain with various appellations is the most magical geographical and cultural problem in all provinces of China.

When Qin went through the customs, he could directly kill Shandong, not because of how high it was, but because the story was different.

At that time, the so-called Shandong refers to the east of Xiaoshan. Where is Xiaoshan's pimple? It is in the westernmost part of Henan Province today, and it is the eastern frontier of Qin State.

There is a classic story in the state of Qin. Uncle Jian cried and said that during the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Qin would send troops to fight Zheng, and Uncle Jian's son also went out with the army. Uncle Jian was worried that Jin people would ambush Qin Jun, so he cried before the army set out. Sure enough, as soon as Qin Jun went through the customs, he was defeated by 8 Jin Army in Lushan Mountain, and all the troops were wiped out.

At that time, the so-called Shandong was east of Lushan Mountain, which generally referred to the eastern countries hostile to Qin State.

Later, when the Qin Dynasty was unified, it was of no practical significance to talk about Lushan East, and this Shandong saying gradually faded out.

So which mountain in the east does Shandong Province refer to now?

Traditionally, this refers to the east of Taihang Mountain. Correspondingly, Shanxi is to the west of Taihang Mountain.

? Mount Tai

There is no doubt that the problem in Shanxi lies in Shandong.

First, Shandong Province is an independent geographical unit and has no geographical relationship with Taihang Mountain.

Second, the cultural origin of Shandong Province has nothing to do with Taihang Mountain culture.

So when did Shandong, a provincial administrative division, first come into being?

Probably during the Jin Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty set up two road divisions, Shandong East Road and Shandong West Road, which are highly coincident with today's Shandong Province.

Shandong Road in Jin Dynasty actually changed the names of JD.COM East Road and Jingdong West Road in Northern Song Dynasty. JD.COM refers to the east of Kaifeng, and has nothing to do with Taihang Mountain.

Is it more reasonable to change it to Shandong, and this mountain refers to Mount Tai? In other words, this mountain refers to Taiyi Mountain. This is more in line with the emotional needs of Shandong people. After all, Mount Tai is a classic business card of Shandong.

But everything is just a guess. After all, the Jin emperor didn't say what the mountains in Shandong were.

Which lake does the "lake" in Hunan and Hubei love refer to?

Compared with the complicated sources in Shandong and Shanxi, the lakes in Hunan and Hubei are not controversial.

This lake is Dongting Lake.

? The picture is from the Earth Knowledge Bureau.

Dongting Lake has not always been a boundary lake. Hunan and Hubei have been a family for a long time in history. They were originally the territory of Chu State, and they have certain similarities in politics, economy and culture.

Friends who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms all know that when Liu Biao was the secretariat of Jingzhou, the territory he was in charge of was quite scary, from Xiangyang in the northernmost part of Hubei to central Guangdong.

Zhuge Liang summed up a sentence: Jingzhou is bordered by Han Mian in the north and benefits the South China Sea.

Figuratively speaking, Jingzhou is like a pair of trousers in ancient China, which can be pushed to the end with one foot.

The picture is from the Earth Knowledge Bureau.

So when did Hunan and Hubei love start to separate? In fact, there was a trend of separation as early as the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

On the one hand, Jingchu and Sanxiang cultures began to divide, and Xiangzhou economy began to take off, forming a culture with regional characteristics.

On the other hand, Jingzhou is too big and has always been the source of the aspirant rebellion. Therefore, after the founding of Liu Song in the Southern Dynasties, Liu Yulai of Song Wudi made a cruel move. Is it big? Don't you like rebellion? Cut you in half!

So he cut off the south of Baling and set up Xiangzhou separately.

? The picture comes from Baidu Encyclopedia.

During the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Hunan and Hubei were always one family. After the Qing dynasty entered the customs, Hubei was in the hands of the Qing dynasty and Hunan was under the control of the Nanming regime.

After the Qing dynasty unified the whole country, it was probably because of the fear that the feelings of Hunan and Hubei would merge into one and there would be any separatist forces, so Huguang Province was divided into feelings of Hunan and Hubei.

Today, the dividing line between Hunan and Hubei is probably on the Dongting Lake line, which belongs to Hunan in the south and Hubei in the north.

Which river is the "river" between Henan and Hebei?

Henan and Hebei are also bounded by rivers in essence.

However, the border between Henan and Hebei has been controversial in recent years.

Traditionalists believe that Henan and Hebei refer to the north and south of the Yellow River. After all, since ancient times, "river" has been a proper noun, and "river water" refers to the Yellow River, just as "river water" refers to the Yangtze River, so Henan and Hebei are the north and south of the Yellow River.

Yellow river

Henan county and Henan province have long existed. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there was the saying of Henan County, and its geographical symbol was obvious, that is, south of the Yellow River.

However, some people have questioned that a considerable part of Henan Province is in the north of the Yellow River, and 6 out of 8 cities in/kloc-0 are in the north of the Yellow River.

Henan people now describe themselves as more of the Central Plains than the south of the Yellow River. Even if we insist on talking about the Yellow River, most of them are talking about the north and south of the great river, otherwise the six cities on the north shore will not strike table and swear. This is also the source of modern controversy.

In fact, Hebei Province is not very close to the Yellow River, just like the relationship between Shandong and Taihang Mountain.

Modernists put it another way: the boundary river between Henan and Hebei is actually the Zhanghe River basin. This is reasonable. After all, Anyang, the northernmost city in Henan, and Handan, the southernmost city in Hebei, are all in the Zhanghe River basin.

the zhanghe river

Zhanghe River is the largest tributary of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, with a vast basin area and very important economic status. It is also reasonable to take the Zhanghe River as the boundary.

Similarly, the Yangtze River in Jiangxi Province is called Jiangxi Province because a section of the Yangtze River flows from south to north, separating Jiangxi Province from Zhejiang and southern Jiangsu.

The reason why there is no Jiangdong is because the land of Jiangdong has been divided up by Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in history, so it is no longer appropriate to call Zhejiang Jiangdong.

In fact, this phenomenon is the result of the comprehensive action of historical, cultural, economic and natural factors.

What does "Guang" mean in Guangdong and Guangxi?

Compared with mountains, rivers and lakes marked by natural features, the division of Guangdong and Guangxi is unique and is an administrative division derived from purely humanistic phenomena.

Guangdong and Guangxi were Nanhai, Guilin and Xiang Jun in Qin Dynasty, and became Jiaozhou after the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is no different from the word "Guang".

At the end of Qin Dynasty, Zhao Tuo stood on its own feet according to the land of South Vietnam. This long-lived emperor lived 104, and almost turned South Vietnam into a foreign land, far from the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, after the recovery of South Vietnam, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered that "Guangdong should be opened at the beginning" in six years (BC 165438+ BC 0 1), so the newly established Cangwu county government took the meaning of "wide cloth and kindness" and named it Guangxin.

Guangzhou was founded in the Three Kingdoms period and located in Guangxin.

However, the socio-economic and cultural characteristics of Guangdong and Guangxi are not the same. Guangdong faces the sea, and its ethnic composition is relatively simple; Guangxi is mountainous and inhabited by many nationalities. Known as Bagui, folk customs are more fierce than Guangdong. Therefore, since the Tang Dynasty, Guangdong and Guangxi have formed their own different regional cultures, with Guangxin as the dividing point and Guangdong and Guangxi as the essence.

Similarly, there is Shaanxi. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Duke of Zhou ruled Shaanxi, the Duke of Zhou ruled the eastern Shaanxi Plateau, and Zhao Gong ruled the western Shaanxi Plateau. This Shaanxi tableland was named after Shaanxi in Shanzhou District, Sanmenxia City, Henan Province.

The reason why Henan Province is not described as eastern Shaanxi is probably because it is named after the river.

Although the names of different provinces in China come from different sources, they are all soaked with cultural roots for thousands of years.

You have me and I have you, which are inseparable.

? The picture comes from the internet.

Standing in Shandong, looking at Shanxi, running towards Henan, looking at Hebei, without Guangdong, Guangxi can hardly exist alone, without Hunan, Hubei can hardly be called alone. The charm of China's traditional culture can only be more deeply rooted because of this accommodation.

Therefore, now that something has happened in Hubei, the cultural gene deeply rooted in blood and soul will make the people of the whole country spontaneously say: Come on, Regan Noodles!

According to Guo Yanhong, inspector of the Medical Administration and Hospital Authority of the National Health and Wellness Committee, on February 7th, 16 provinces supported cities outside Wuhan one by one, fully supporting Hubei Province to strengthen patient treatment and ensure people's life safety and health.

This is undoubtedly an exciting tonic for Hubei, which is short of materials and medical facilities. In the sea of Wang Yang where the people of the whole country are united as one, the time to win the epidemic in an all-round way is getting closer and closer!
