In ancient my country, especially the historical period before the Sui and Tang Dynasties when the national economic center of gravity has not yet moved to the south of the Yangtze River. Located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, in today's Guantao County, Hebei Province, with convenient irrigation conditions and fertile soil that can attract many people to cultivate and settle, it will also suffer from "good decision, good migration, "Good silt" is known as the Yellow River. This brings about two problems. One is that people need to live and live here, so it is necessary to build gathering areas and cities; on the other hand, due to the damage of the Yellow River, many gathering places and cities may be forced to abandon. Moreover, after abandonment, the site of the city will be buried by the sediment of the Yellow River, so that it is difficult to find the site and tombs of the city before the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in this area today. This cannot but be said to be a pity, and it also brings difficulties and controversy to the search and determination of the ancient cities that existed in the historical records.
Guantao County in the Three Kingdoms Period was the office of Yangping County.
was in Guantao County. History records once existed in Qingyuan County and Yongji County.
清渊县 was placed in the fifth year of Yuanfeng in the Western Han Dynasty (106 BC), in the early years of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, and incorporated into Linqing County in the eleventh year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (497) It has existed for more than 600 years, and its governance is in Qingyang City, Luqiao Township.
永济县 was established in the seventh year of the Tang Dynasty (772) in the south of Linqing County. It was named after the Yongji Canal to the west. It was named after the Song Dynasty in the fifth year of Xining (1072). ) Was merged into Guantao County and existed for 300 years. But its governance is not as accurate as that of Qingyuan County, so today there are three kinds of opinions: Beiguantao Township, Linxi County, and Chenluqiao Village, Luqiao Township, Guantao County, Shandong Province.
In fact, there are not only these two ancient counties that have existed in Guantao County in history. There is also an ancient county that appeared during the Warring States Period and disappeared quickly. It has not been found in all current historical records. However, a coin unearthed elsewhere in the 1990s proved the existence of this ancient county.
Tunshi County and Tunshi River
If you say, the name of this ancient county is familiar to many people, it is called "Tunshi County", is it very familiar? ? "The Time and Space of the Grand Canal" has introduced more than once in Guantao County that there once existed an ancient river channel "Tunshi River" that rushed out of the Yellow River rupture. Is this Tunshi County related to Tunshi River?
Tunshi River
in Guantao County Chronicles is indeed inseparable between the two. According to the "Warring States Political District Geography" written by Professor Hou Xiaorong of the History College of Capital Normal University, the name of the Tunshi River is because when it rushes out of the Tunshi River, the first county through which the river flows is called " "Tunshi" is located outside Yuancheng and Guantao from the north to south junction.
As for how this conclusion was obtained, the post-professor’s conclusion comes from Mr. Huang Shengzhang, a historical geographer of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and an expert on ancient characters, in the "New Discovery of the'Tun' Three Hole Coins and Related Issues" 1 The thesis in the article.
Everything comes from a new three-hole coin collected by the China Numismatic Museum in late October 1992. This three-hole coin was unearthed in Shenmu, Shaanxi. According to Mr. Huang Shengzhang's analysis, it is the word "Tunshi". And it is analyzed that the coin can only appear in the eastern part of the Zhao country, because the name "XX" was common in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there were also many in the Warring States period. The newly established counties after the Qin and Han Dynasties were not named after the clan. . Therefore, the Tun clan must be before the Warring States period. Because of this county name, in the Han Dynasty, when the Yellow River was in the North, the breach was nearby, and it was named "Tunshi River". However, due to the fifth year of Emperor Yongguang of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yellow River ruptured at Lingmingdukou of Qinghe River, causing the siltation and disappearance of the Tunshi River. However, Tunshi County may have disappeared after the formation of the Tunshi River, or merged into Guantao or Yuancheng. There is no trace in history, only the three holes with the words "Tunshi" remain. Bi, silently tells that there is another ancient county "Tunshi County" that has not existed for too long in history.
Yuancheng County
on the border of Guantao County
In history, Guantao and Yuancheng are neighboring counties for a long time, and because of water conservancy disputes, in the last Around 1948 in the 21st century, several Qigus in the northern part of Yuancheng County (the Daming County at that time) were also assigned to Guantao County, so in this respect, the two counties at the turn of Guantao and Yuancheng "Tunshi County" has a great chance to exist in today's Guantao County.
Do you know this is the case? Welcome to discuss at the bottom of the article.
