What is the origin of Qinhuangdao?

According to legend, Qinhuangdao was named after Qin Shihuang's east tour here. The name of Qinhuangdao was first found in a poem "Qinhuangdao" written by Yang Cong in the fifth year of Tianshun, Ming Yingzong (A.D. 146 1), which included the sentence "The ancient temple is far away from the clouds, and the barren platform overlooks the flowing water".

In the fourteenth year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 150 1), there was a description of Qinhuangdao in the Annals of Yongping County: "Qinhuangdao is 70 miles east of Funing County, and the mountains are in the sea. It is said that Qin Shihuang once asked for immortals to stay here." During the Wanli period, Jiang Yikui described in more detail in Chang 'an Hakka dialect: "There is an isolated mountain in Nanli, Shanhaiguan, which stands tall and independent of the sea and is surrounded by water, commonly known as Qinhuangdao. ...

It is said that when Qin Huang came to this mountain to see the scenery, he was taken aback and said,' The teacher here taught me to read simple sentences'. After dismounting for worship, Jing bowed his head to the ground, like squatting, which is still the case today. There are clues from the stone, named Qin Huangshan. "

Later, there were many records in local chronicles and literati poems. In the Qing dynasty, there was also the saying of Wang Qindao. The name of Wangqin Island was first seen in Funing County Records in the eighth year of Kangxi. Among them, "Wangqin Island is mistaken for Qinhuangdao, 70 miles east of the county seat, surrounded by water, but the island is in the middle. Emperor Taizong asked Han to stay here, and the island was full of thorns.

According to legend, the king of Qin bowed down. The legend of Qinwang Island is related to passing through this place on the way to Li. From then until the Republic of China, Qinhuangdao and Wangqin Island were used together in local chronicles and literati poems.
