Origin of villages and place names in Pujiang, Zhejiang Province

1, History of Pujiang County, Zhejiang Province:

Pujiang County has a history of 1800 years since it was founded in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Natural villages recorded by ancestors in words often carry a period of history and are special cultural heritage handed down by ancestors.

Some of these place names are related to mother Hepu Yangjiang. For example, Daxu Village in Hua Xian Street was named Dashui because it was located on the Puyang River and was often flooded in ancient times. However, the local dialect "water" is pronounced "Xu", and the village name has evolved into Daxu.

For example, Yuxia Village in Huangzhai Town was once called "night market" because it was located on the Puyang River, and nearby residents had been fishing a lot. At night, a fish market was also established, and later it was transformed into "Yuxia City".

The article "Fair" in the Qing Dynasty's "Guangxu Pujiang County Records" means "going down to the city".

After the rise of Huangzhaicheng, the market naturally dissolved.

For example, Chaoxi Village in Huangzhai Town is close to Puyang River. According to the records of Jiajing Pujiang, this river went directly into the sea in ancient times.

According to legend, the ancient tide went upstream and arrived here, because it was named Chaoxi.

Chaoxi has two villages, upper and lower, which are very close to each other and are divided into Shangchao Stream and Xiachao Stream.

Chaoxi is one of the important water transport bamboo raft docks on Puyang River in ancient times. Since then, crabs, named horseshoe crabs, are abundant in Nakamura and gutang, which are aquatic treasures.

Local residents are used to fishing at night and fishing with lanterns. The scenery is beautiful. Therefore, "Chaoxi Night Fishing" was named and listed as "Ten Scenes of Puyang".

Zhang Yinghuai, a Ming Dynasty man, once wrote a poem: Who listens to Zhejiang tide in Xitou, fishing songs are not lonely every night; The sand shadow moves the gull half awake, and the wind and waves of the reed flowers disappear completely; However, because of the wet white temples, I am arrogant; Know that fish tastes good, don't be sorry for the waves.

Wu Lai, a Yuan poet, also wrote a poem: Last night, the cold wave was connected with this, and the barren stream often took a hundred rivers to the east; Walking in the forest in the first month, fishing on the banks of Luhua Island; The fish invading the sand is short, and the lantern reflects the grass crab. The squire is far away, I will hide, and the red carp will enter the belly.

For example, the ancestors of Kuo Village in Yantou Town owned a lot of land property. When cooking, their sons are ordered to plow their own fields. Where they plow their fields, the land within their scope will belong to them.

Children plow fields, people are tired of cows, and furrows are bent like yoke of cows, hence the name Kuan.

Place names are living fossils of a social period. Among the village names, there are also some places with rich cultural heritage and beautiful legends. For example, Sanya Village in Zhengzhai Town is located at the foot of Jin Furong Mountain. It is said that Sanya Village is called because of its "Shan Qi, beautiful water and beautiful village", beautiful scenery and folk songs "Elegant mountain, elegant water and elegant people".

Wang Zulong, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, came from Sanya Village. He was eager to learn since he was a child and wrote his own notes, which was extremely dialectical.

China scholars, with a negative literary name, have written three biographies, such as Measuring Meaning, Historical Tips, Reading Diary, Ji Gu Lou's Songs and Grasses, etc.

For example, cheng jia cun, a town in Hangping where ancestors moved from Huizhou, was named after his surname. The village is located at the headwater of Huyuan River, which is 0/5km away from Puyang Town, the county seat. Since ancient times, villagers have relied on bamboo and wood to solve the problem of food and clothing. In the past, whenever the county town went to market, the villagers had to get up in the middle of the night to cook and go to market, and it was already dark when they came back.

Therefore, there is a proverb, "If you become a Jia Cun, you won't sleep for three nights", which has also become an image portrayal of the poor life of the masses in the past.

For example, Zhiduwu Village in Zhongyu Township is called Zhuduwu according to the Guangxu Pujiang County Records. It is said that the village is located in the shape of a pig's belly, hence the name; It is also said that before the village was built, it used to be a mountain-watching pier. My ancestors were very poor and couldn't afford to eat meat for the New Year. There is only one pork belly in the Spring Festival, and later generations named it pork belly dock to show that they don't forget their ancestors. Later, he was called Zhiduwu.

Wujiangkou Jiuwu Village is located in Shandekou, Wujiang. It is said that when Zhenxi passed by the town bridge next to Longdian in the village, there were big trees on the stream that dyed the water black and mixed it with the water in the field, hence the name.
