The Origin of the Name of Huang Shang Town in Upper Huang Zhen

Upper Huang Zhen is located in the north of Hanshan Mountain and the southeast of Hutao Lake. Its terrain is high in the east and low in the west. It has hills, plains and polder areas. The rivers are densely covered, the soil is rich in fertilizer and water, and it has the beauty of lakes and mountains. It is rich in rice, wheat, rapeseed, sericulture and aquatic products, and is known as the land of plenty. In ancient times, there were "yellowbird, pheasant and white shrimp", which were famous in Jiangnan. Today, it is the "hometown of crabs" and exported to Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Limestone is rich in resources, and building materials such as cement, lime, bricks and tiles are often crossed by roads, which drives the rapid development of industry and agriculture and people's lives change with each passing day. Fossils of China Australopithecus, saber-toothed tiger and other ancient vertebrates 45 million years ago were found in Zhushan, Nanyang, south of Zhennan, and a provincial-level reserve of China Australopithecus fossil remains was recently established. In Changdang Lake, a great lake in the north of the town, its fish and crab nets add a landscape to the emerging eco-tourism in southern Jiangsu.

"Huang Shang" takes Huang Dui's surname as the village name. Huang Dui, a native of Li Yongji, Pucheng, Fujian, is a descendant of Ding Gong. He was a scholar in the period of Li Gang, a famous figure in the Northern Song Dynasty. In the second year of Qin Kang (A.D. 1 127), he passed the judgment with Kang Wang Nandu Jiankang and the official to Jinling (now Nanjing) and sent doctors to the north. During the Shaoxing period in the Southern Song Dynasty, he led his younger brother Renhai to see the beautiful mountains and rivers, with deep water and thick soil. The reason why he can be a descendant is that the descendants of Huang's surname are proud of their ancestors, self-respecting and self-loving, and Huang Dui misses his hometown very much, calling himself "shang huang" for nearly 900 years.

Huang Dui's hometown, pucheng county, also has a village called Shanghuangchu. The names of "Chu" and Liyang Village here are often synonyms of "Li". For example, Liyang has a "river in the city" and Pucheng is called "Nanpuxi". Huang Shang in Pucheng County, namely Upper Huang Zhen, has beautiful scenery and dangerous terrain. Four kilometers to the west, there is Erduguan at the junction of Fujian and Jiangxi, and five kilometers to the east, there is Fenglingguan at the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang. It was an important stronghold of the rebels in Huang Chao at the end of last year, and also a gathering place of people with Huang surname, with a total area of 1 120. 10km east of Huang Shang is the famous Fugai Mountain in Pucheng, with an altitude of1146m. Dayun Temple at the foot of the mountain is a scenic tourist attraction.

Yellow to yellow, it was the early Northern Song Dynasty, and the people were in dire straits. The poem "Don't give a picture to the public" says: "The official road is different, and the ambition is in the mountains; Buy Tian Yang envy, slope old concentric. On the left of Hutao Lake is the shade of Lishan; Buju Jiji has fertile soil and abundant water resources. Suitable for farming and fishing, find it when you are happy; Build a room here, tuck your knees and chant. The surname is in the first name, from the beginning; Poetry and painting are far away, and the world is virtuous. " In addition, Upper Huang Zhen is located at the junction of Liyang, Yixing and Jintan, with a remote location and quiet environment. At the same time, it is the transportation hub from Liyang to Changzhou. If you enter, you can live and work in peace and contentment, reproduce your descendants, and if you leave, you can make progress and make a name for yourself. It can be regarded as a treasure house for outstanding civilians to rest. Huangdui offspring developed. Sun Simiao Gong, Gong Yi and Sun Yat-sen's third generation, Sisangong, are all descendants of the Eight Products. Sun Duanyou, the fourth generation of Sun Duanyou, was honored as Di Gong Lang because of its prominent village name. In the first year of Sun Shaoding (1228) and the second year of Xieyuan, Huang Shaoding (1229), Huang Chunyou (1249) and Baoyu (1255) were the scholars of two families. According to the Records of Yixing County, the family in Song Dynasty was a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was the earliest Huang family in Liyang.

Since the Yellow River, people have thrived on this beautiful land. In the vast thousand-year history, they have experienced many ups and downs. From the end of Yuan Dynasty to Mindfulness, Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Nanjing. In order to explore the Central Plains in the north and overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, they first waged wars in the Changdang Lake areas such as Liyang, Yixing and Changzhou, and finally destroyed the southeast in ten years (A.D. 1356- 1367) and captured Zhang Shicheng, the king of Wu who occupied Suzhou. The battle was earth-shattering, the war was continuous and extremely cruel, and the people were devastated. More than 700 families are almost all in the Huang family, only Huang teaches in a foreign land, and his son Huang survived. Today, becoming an important town in Liyang has a lot to do with the restoration and reproduction of the Huang family. Now the society is harmonious, people live and work in peace and contentment, and recalling past sufferings is also a wealth of today's happy life.
