Second, the cultural connotation of Songyang place names

Culture is a historical category developed in a specific space, including all the characteristics of material civilization, spiritual civilization and social relations of human group activities. Place names are the names people give to geographical entities, administrative regions or places of residence in social life. They are part of vocabulary and rich in cultural elements. Songyang county 1800 years. In the process of historical development, on the one hand, it is inextricably linked with the external culture, on the other hand, it has its own cultural characteristics.

Because place names are the product of human activities, they record the whereabouts of human beings in exploring the world and transforming society. Just like living fossils, they are the witness of history and a special cultural phenomenon. It truly reflects the geography, history, language and culture of a place, and also reflects the mentality and customs of people living in a place in groups, which is the concrete embodiment of local culture. Although the place names of Songyang have emerged with the needs of social activities and changed with the development of history, some of them have been used, some have been eliminated and some have been updated, but looking at the historical development of 1800 years, the place names of Songyang reflect the history and culture of Songyang and embody rich and colorful cultural connotations. Mainly includes the following aspects:

First of all, it reflects the local living environment and farming culture.

Songyang, the "only peach blossom source, with four rivers blocking it", is known as "eight mountains, one water and one field". The folk customs here are simple, and it has been known as the golden fish plate since ancient times. But for thousands of years, it has actually been in a self-sufficient small-scale agricultural civilization society for a long time. Men plow and women weave, and thousands of years of farming is its most real production and life scene. From so many mountains, so much water, so many landforms and so many landforms in the place names of Songyang, we can see those rural people scattered in the wilderness, hills, at the foot of mountains, gullies, fields, streams and ponds. They are the memories of generations. Pastoral is the place where ancestors' bones and souls are placed; The countryside is home. People sow summer sowing at home in spring, collect it in autumn and hide it in winter; Life is at home, long at home, and always at home; After the ancestors left this world, they were buried in the dirt mountain near their home.

However, the elegant scenery and self-sufficient leisure days in Songgu Basin have not made people forget their life dreams of being proud of studying and farming to get rich. It is the beautiful vision and pursuit of generations of students here to strive for fame and fortune and honor their ancestors. The implementation of the imperial examination system not only popularized culture, but also brought hope to scholars. Especially in the Song Dynasty, the wind of giving lectures prevailed in Songgu, and Jiaxuan Academy, Ziyang Academy and the First Famous Academy were all well-read. Zhu, a famous philosopher and thinker in the Southern Song Dynasty, also came here to give lectures. From Jiayou in Song Dynasty (106 1) to Xianchun (1271) 211,8 1 people in Songyang were admitted to the imperial examination. In the folk, people also set up the Jinshi archway, the Confucian Square and the Zhuangyuan Square Tower to show off the scholars. Under the influence of this rich cultural thought of farming and reading, it is no longer an unattainable dream for ordinary farmers' children to become officials and shine brilliantly. The emergence of scenes such as hanging books in the corner of Songgu land, practicing calligraphy in the sand, and being a scholar at the top of the field has made the real farming and reading culture here deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Secondly, it reflects the local socio-economic and cultural life.

People's daily life is always closely linked with the economy, and the economic development of Songyang can also be reflected in the place names, especially the place names named after the industry, which not only reflect the industry characteristics of a place, but also provide a strong basis for the local economic development. For thousands of years, Songgu Basin, known as "Chuzhou granary", has nurtured generations of Songyang people with its fertile land and rich products. This ancient town not only brings a self-sufficient and well-fed life to local residents, but also is a transportation hub in Nanshan District, southwest Zhejiang Province, where land and water traffic is blocked.

The Songyin River has been busy with water transportation since ancient times, and the south gate of the old ancient city is connected to the pier outside the stall in the west. Once upon a time, there were many sails and boats like ants here. In early summer, a touch of sunset hangs obliquely at the entrance of Qingtian Code Road, which is located in the stall of South Gate Wharf in Quzhou, Chuzhou and Wenzhou. The boatman in straw sandals is carrying goods back and forth. Some people carry cloth, salt and bags from cargo ships ashore, while others load boxes of local goods such as tobacco leaves and stone powder on merchant ships and transport them to far away places. Between the green mountains and green waters of Song Yinxi, Qian Fan came and went, whimpering, showing a noisy and busy scene.

Every day at dawn, the walkers in the temple ring the midnight bell along the street. Sleepers get up at dawn, the city gates open, shops open, breakfast sellers get busy, tables and chairs are bright, dishes are neat, and snacks, porridge and rice are various. A new day has begun in the ancient town. On the first and sixth day of the lunar calendar, porters, donkeys and horses are in an endless stream, and people are buzzing; Rice shops, firewood shops, cigarette shops, chicken shops, pig shops, cattle shops, and various markets opened. On Taipingfang Road, the cries of selling paper, tobacco, charcoal, herbs, fresh fruits and vegetables are endless. In CCBA, Tang Lan, the clothes are wrapped in white, tinkling, merchants come and go, people are crowded, the scene of cloth trading is hot, slender fingers are flying on the purple and black shiny abacus, and the crisp sound of beads falls on people's ears like showers.

Thirdly, it reflects the religious life of the local people.

Songgu basin, a paradise for ancient European and Vietnamese people to live and multiply, was once famous for its long history, beautiful scenery, outstanding people and rich products. At the same time, since Nanliang, Taoism and Buddhism have spread widely in Songgu, and Buddhism reached its peak when Yanqing Temple was built in the second year of Xianping in Song Dynasty. In the late Qing Dynasty, Christianity and Catholicism spread here one after another, with a history of 1400 years. Religions in the county live in harmony; There used to be more than 200 religious buildings such as temples, temples, temples and churches. This can also be reflected in various existing place names.

Song Dynasty, Ming Dynasty? Or the Qing dynasty? A long time ago, someone came to Songyang, an ancient county. When he walked through the winding alleys scattered in every corner of the town, walked through the suburbs of egrets with green trees, red flowers and blue sky, and enjoyed the beautiful street scene in front of him, he must have seen the Tianhou Temple, Five Blessingg Shemiao, Zhenjun Hall, Xinyi Shemiao, Chang 'an Shemiao, Mingdeshe Temple, Xiufeng Temple and Yanqing Temple, and saw countless good men and women coming and going, burning incense and worshiping Buddha in this temple with white walls and red columns and blue tiles. Under the eaves of the temple, cassocks are moving, cigarettes are lingering, candlelight is flickering, some people tell fortune and geomantic omen, and some people choose Amitabha Buddha as an auspicious day. It's so lively! In fact, this is a microcosm of the local religious life for thousands of years.

Today's people, when you walk into the depths of time in a small town, when you indulge in the loneliness in the depths of alleys and the vicissitudes of years, you can still see the house numbers blurred by years from some doors with mottled paint, gray old and left unlocked-Shangtianhou Lane, Five Blessingg Lane, Zhenjun Lane, Xinyi Lane, Chang 'an Lane and Mingde Road. On a sunny afternoon, if you hear a melodious and desolate prayer in a small town, it is someone in Jesus' church praying devoutly. They kept crossing their chests and calling for help from heaven, hoping that the distant kingdom of heaven could transcend human pain and sorrow, suffering and misfortune, sin and death.

Fourthly, it reflects the clan culture of the local society.

Millennium ancient city, Changsong landscape; Rural people don't worry about food and clothing. Although the Songgu Basin, located in this county from the 4th year of Jian 'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty to the beginning of the 8th century, was almost closed, the clan culture of "three generations of kinship, three generations of consanguinity" also flourished in the long historical continuation here. Surname is a symbol of blood relationship in social structure, which has a strong cultural color; It is a concrete manifestation of the influence of patriarchal clan system on people's ideas intentionally or unintentionally.

Many place names in Songyang are related to surnames. In the vast rural areas, "surname+village" is the main form of village names, such as Yecun, Wangcun, Jincun, Pancun, Baocun, Wengcun, Lijia, Tangjia, Lanjia, Zhushan, Zhangshan, Yejia, Lujiacun, Cuncun, Caizhai, Huangjia Courtyard and Panjiazhai. In county towns, street names are mainly composed of "surname+ancestral hall", such as Chengci Lane, Maoci Lane, Zhanci Road, Panci Lane, Panci Lane, Yeci Lane, Panhou Street Lane, Zhangjia Lane, Ye Jia Lane and Wang Jianong.

These villages and alleys with hundreds of surnames not only reflect the environmental characteristics of people who have lived in Songgu Basin for thousands of years, but also fully demonstrate that clan culture has left an indelible mark on the hearts of generations here. Once upon a time, they prayed for good weather in the ancestral temple or celebrated the safety of the country and people, and held colorful folk entertainment activities such as lanterns, dragon and lion dances and dragon boat races outside the village. Even many ancestral temples record the achievements and glory of ancestors' influence on future generations, the ancestral precepts observed by clansmen from generation to generation, and the dignified eyes of the patriarchs who are selfless, giving birth to a big family with traditional virtues, such as respecting the old and caring for the young, respecting the husband and wife, respecting siblings, helping the weak, being loyal and filial, being kind to others, being kind and courteous, and managing the family diligently.

Fifth, it contains rich local historical stories and legends.

For thousands of years, the ancient Songgu Basin has a simple folk custom, which has been handed down from farming to reading. Zhong Ling is beautiful and outstanding. There are many historical stories and legends in Songyang place names. From these historical stories and legends, we can also see traces in the historical dust of ancient Songyang.

Legend has it that this is how Xiama Street at the east gate of Guxian County came about. During the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, Jinshi Yu Zhan appeared in this street. Yu Zhan is honest, handling cases without favoritism. The emperor killed him by mistake because he was falsely accused. After Yu Zhan's grievances were exposed to the world, the emperor was very sad and uncomfortable, so he set up a memorial arch in the street. It is also stipulated that all officials passing through this place, regardless of their official positions, must get off the sedan chair to show their respect. Later, people dismounted the sedan chair and laid it on dismount street.

The most famous legend of place names is the story of the burial of Zhang and parrot, a poetess in the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhang has been engaged in poetry creation in Minhui since childhood. /kloc-When she was 0/5 years old, she got engaged to Shen Heng, a scholar from her childhood. Shen Heng died of typhoid fever at the age of 22 when she went to Beijing to take the exam. To this end, Zhang was unhappy and fell into infinite sadness and loss. Five years later, 27-year-old Zhang died and was buried in Fenglin in the western suburbs of the county. Soon, Zhang's maid, Shuang 'e, died of grief, while another maid, Zi 'e, "strangled", and Zhang's parrot died without eating or drinking. People bury the "three cleanses in the boudoir" (namely, frost moths, purple moths and parrots) next to Zhang's tomb, which is called parrot burial. This story has been circulated in Songyang for thousands of years. Although it is boring, it also reflects the infinite reverence and nostalgia of later generations for a generation of poetess Zhang.
