If all the prefectures and cities under Sichuan were changed back to their ancient names, which one do you think sounds better?

Sichuan, referred to as Sichuan or Shu, is one of the 23 provinces in China. It is located in the inland southwest of China, bordering Chongqing to the east, Yunnan and Guizhou to the south, Tibet to the west, and Shaanxi, Gansu, and Qinghai to the north. .

Sichuan Province is located in the transition zone between the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the first level of the three major terrain ladders in mainland China, and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain, the third level. The height difference is huge, and the terrain is higher in the west and lower in the east. It consists of mountains, It consists of hills, plains, basins and plateaus.

Many of these prefectures, cities and states under the jurisdiction of Sichuan have changed their names many times in history. If the names from the past are used, which ones will sound better?

Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan Province. It is the only provincial capital city that has not moved its site or changed its name in more than 2,000 years, so we will not discuss its past name. One of the first batch of national historical and cultural cities, the best tourist city in China, and one of China's "Top Ten Ancient Capitals". Chengdu has many historical places of interest and cultural landscapes such as Wuhou Temple, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Yongling Tomb, Wangjiang Tower, Qingyang Palace, Wenshu Monastery, Tomb of the Ming and Shu Kings, Zhaojue Temple, etc. Chengdu is also the habitat of Sichuan giant pandas and has a giant panda base. It is a "splendid city" that even Marco Polo was amazed by.

Chengdu - a park city under the snow-capped mountains.

Chengdu is a city you don’t want to leave once you’ve arrived.

Zigong "sets up a city because of salt", and the two words "Zigong" and "Gong" come from the names of two salt wells, "Ziliujing" and "Gongjing".

In the Qin Dynasty, Fushun and Rongxian areas belonged to Bajun and Shujun respectively. In the Han Dynasty, Jianwei County was established. Fushun area belonged to Jiangyang County, Jianwei County, and Rong County belonged to Nan'an County, Jianwei County. During the reign of Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, well salt was produced in the Zigong area. The famous salt wells include Fushi Well and Dagong Well. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the county was established as a town due to salt. Fushi County was established in the name of Fushijing; Gongjing Town was established in the name of Dagongjing. In the Tang Dynasty, Fushi County was renamed Fuyi County; Shenggongjing Town was renamed Gongjing County, under the jurisdiction of Rongzhou. If the name is changed back to ancient times, Zigong's name can be Rongzhou.

Panzhihua City is located at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan in southwest China. It is located at the southernmost tip of Sichuan and is the only city in the country named after a flower. It enjoys the reputation of "a flower is a city and a city is a flower"; Panzhihua is thousands of miles away. The first city in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, where the Jinsha River and the Yalong River meet; Panzhihua is the southward gateway of Sichuan and the closest point from Sichuan to South Asia and Southeast Asia; Panzhihua is the only subtropical fruit production base in Sichuan, rich in mango, loquat, lotus and lotus. Special fruits such as fog, pomegranate, strawberry, and cherry are always fresh all year round.

Panzhihua is located on the bank of the Jinsha River. It was originally named Shang and Xiaba Village. It was formed around the eighth year of Tongzhi (1869) in the Qing Dynasty. Because there is an ancient and tall Panzhihua tree at the entrance of the village, it is called "Panzhihua Village".

On February 5, 1965, the state officially approved the establishment of the Panzhihua Special Economic Zone. On April 22, in order to maintain confidentiality, the "Reply on the Issue of Changing the Name of the Panzhihua Special Economic Zone" was issued, agreeing to change the name of the Panzhihua Special Economic Zone to "Dukou City". If we use a historical name, Fukou is undoubtedly the most appropriate name for Panzhihua.

Luzhou, known as "Jiangyang" in ancient times, also known as Jiucheng and Jiangcheng, is a prefecture-level city in Sichuan Province, a national regional central city, a regional central city at the junction of Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan and Guizhou, and a twin-city economic circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing region.

In the fifth year of King Zhou Shenliang’s reign (316 BC), the Qin Dynasty destroyed Ba and Shu. In the same year, Ba County and Shu County were established. Ba County administered Jiangyang County, and later Jiangyang County was disposed of at the intersection of Tuojiang River and Yangtze River. .

In the sixth year of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty (151 BC), Su Jia was granted the title of Marquis of Jiangyang, and Jiangyang County was established at the intersection of the Yangtze River and Tuojiang River (today's Jiangyang District, Luzhou City). In the sixth year of the founding of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (135 BC), he developed the southwest minority areas, established Qianwei County, and led Jiangyang County. In the 18th year of Jian'an (213) of Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jiangyang County was established. Jiangyang County was still established in the Western Jin Dynasty. Jiangyang County belongs to Yizhou and has jurisdiction over Jiangyang County, Fu County and Jiang'an County. During the Liu Song and Southern Qi Dynasties, Dongjiangyang County was established. During the Datong period of Nanliang (535-546), Luzhou was established, with one county under its jurisdiction, Jiangyang County, and three counties, namely Jiangyang County, Jiang'an County, and Mianshui County.

It is not difficult to see from the history of Luzhou that Luzhou has used the name Jiangyang for a long time in history. If Luzhou is renamed, Jiangyang is the most suitable.

Deyang City, also known as "Jingcheng", is a prefecture-level city in Sichuan Province. It is located in the northeastern part of the Chengdu Plain; it is located in the transition zone from the Longmen Mountains to the Sichuan Basin; the northwest has a mountainous vertical climate, and the southeast has a mid-subtropical humid monsoon climate.

Deyang County was under the jurisdiction of Hanzhou in Jiannan Road, which lasted until the end of the Ming Dynasty.

From the perspective of Deyang’s organizational history, Deyang is similar to Chengdu. It has not changed its name since the county was founded, so the use of the past name will not be discussed.

Mianyang, also known as "China Science and Technology City", is a prefecture-level city in Sichuan Province, located in the northwest of the Sichuan Basin, in the middle and upper reaches of the Fujiang River. Since the establishment of Fu County in the Western Han Dynasty in the second year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (201 BC), Mianyang City has a history of more than 2,200 years. It has always been the seat of prefectures and counties. It was later named "Mianyang" because the city site is located in the south of Mianshan Mountain.

In the second year of the Republic of China (1913), Mianzhou was abolished in March, and Mianyang County was established in the Mianzhou area.

Throughout the history of Mianyang, the name Mianzhou has been used for thousands of years. If Mianyang is renamed, Mianzhou is undoubtedly the most suitable.

Guangyuan is a concentrated display of the ancient plank road culture of the Pre-Qin Dynasty and the Chinese Shu Road culture, a core corridor of history and culture of the Three Kingdoms, and the birthplace of Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history.

In the sixth year of King Zhou Shenliang's reign, the Qin State destroyed Shu and swallowed Ju, changed the land of Shu and established Shu County, and established Jiameng County under the Qin State's Shu County. Shuhan was changed to Hanshou County. In the Western Jin Dynasty, it was changed to Jinshou County. The Western Wei Dynasty changed it to Lizhou, the Sui Dynasty changed Lizhou to Yicheng County, and the Tang Dynasty changed Yicheng County to Lizhou. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the capital Marshal's Mansion was set up in Miangu County, and then the province of Shaanxi and Sichuan was moved from Jingzhao (today's Xianyang) to Lizhou. In the Yuan Dynasty, Miangu County was changed to Guangyuan County, Lizhou Road was changed to Guangyuan Road, and Guangyuan County was later promoted to Guangyuan Prefecture. In the early Ming Dynasty, it was Guangyuan Prefecture, then changed to a prefecture, and then downgraded to a county.

History There were many ancient names in Guangyuan, and the one that has been used for a long time is Lizhou. However, Jiameng is famous because of Jiameng Pass. Therefore, if the old name is changed, the heritage of "Jiameng" will feel more profound.

Suining is located in the heart of the central Sichuan Basin. It is a regional central city in the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone, a modern industrial base in Sichuan Province, and a modern ecological garden city characterized by "nourishing the heart" culture. Suining got its name because Huan Wen, the general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, pacified the Shu queen, which means "to quell the war and achieve peace."

In the third year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (347), Huan Wen pacified Shu, dismissed Deyang County, and established Suining County in the southeastern border of Deyang County. Takes the meaning of "putting an end to chaos and tranquility". The name "Suining" began from this point on.

He read the map of Zhongjiang County and saw that the county town was surrounded by rivers, so he changed Zhongjiang County to Neijiang County. The county has a history of more than 2,000 years. In 1950, Neijiang District was established. In 1985, Neijiang City was transformed into provincial jurisdiction. In 1998, the administrative division of Neijiang City was adjusted again and divided into Neijiang City and Ziyang City. If Neijiang is renamed, Han'an undoubtedly has the most historical heritage.
