From the source, it is mountain dam. We walked down the Nantang River . After passing the Shangshui Wujin River, we finally arrived at the second stop of the three wooden gooses that Comrade Wang Yuanwei once stopped. The Jidu River was on the rise. The story about this gate was already talked about yesterday. Interested friends can read my previous content. Today, let's talk about this story of "homophone" rising. It is different from the homophone place names we encountered before. The horizontal rise is quite diverse.
The history of horizontal swelling can be traced back to the late Tang Dynasty, and was originally named "Hengzhang Bridge". You heard it right, it is an inconspicuous bridge located next to the once Laodong Fairy Bridge (demolished in 1974). Compared with the beautiful stone arch bridge "Dongxian", why do you want to use such a single-hole stone beam small flat bridge that is only 3 meters long and about 2 meters wide to name the place name?
answer is actually not difficult to guess. It is the "homophone" we mentioned at the beginning. If we expand the map, we can find that Hengchang is located at the intersection of Yinjiang and Fenghua River , and it is almost close to the "big loop" on the Fenghua River. In addition, there are many underground rivers and rivers "privately contacted" the river. Therefore, in the old days, whenever the tide is high, the yellow mud water in the river would irresponsibly pour horizontally into the Nantang River, so it was named "Yellow High Tide" (hover High Tide). Because in Ningbo dialect , "Huang" and "Heng" are close, and "Tide" and "Bridge" are homophonic, which makes the small flat bridge in the originally dark ditch slowly become homophonic to "Hengchang Bridge".
Of course, there is another saying that this "Heng" is homophonic to "Wang", and "Zhong" is pronounced from "Zhang" or "Jiang", and they are really related to the Cave Fairy Bridge. Because according to the records in the "Yinxian Tongzhi", "Dongxian Bridge spans the Nantang River, Xiejiaxiang Village in the south, and Yangcun in the east and west, and Zhangqiao in the Guangxu Zhi was the king of the king". In addition, in the poem "Dongxian Bridge" by Yang Shouchen, the minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, the preface of the poem is "Dongxian Bridge, commonly known as Wangjiang Bridge". I found that it is not, it is all homophonic. If you have any friends who know the origin clearly, please give me some advice in the comment section, thank you in advance.
Putting aside this pronunciation issue, let's talk about this horizontal surging. It is precisely because it is often affected by the backflow of rivers, so the villagers later had to build a simple gate on the side of the Fenghua River to mediate the water level of the river and rivers in the territory. At the same time, since the entire Nantang River passes through the village almost straightly, in order to break the saying that "the river is straight and has no feng shui" and better store and drain water, people specially dug six river surveillance on both sides of the Nantang River (Xiahe Cao, Saiyu Cao, Xiao'an Cao, Xie Ren Cao, Wujia Cao, and Fangmen Cao) and then added Xitou Cao. But the inevitable result of the Hecao Bridge, Xiao'an Bridge, Jixian Bridge, Ba Bridge, Xieren Cao Bridge, Qixiang Bridge, Zhen'an Bridge, etc. came into being. Since then, the legend of "Eight Catao and Nine Bridges" has emerged.
, let’s talk about today’s story. We mentioned a Qixiang Bridge earlier. In the past, there was a Qixiang Pavilion on the bank of Fenghua River. There was also a Qixiang Pavilion in the northwest of Hengzhang Village, and there was a Qixiang Scenic Spot in the northwest of . Why would such a simple ancient village be named with such two words? Let's chat about this tomorrow, follow me, see you all.
