The origin of Zhangjiajie's name
Hello, Zhangjiajie, formerly known as Dayong County, later named Dayong City. After visiting here, a Fujian tourist wrote a letter to the mayor of Dayong, thinking that it was really inappropriate to name such a beautiful scenic spot Dayong. "Yong" means mediocrity and moderation, so it is better to change it to "Zhangjiajie", and "Zhang" means pioneering and opening up; "Home" means to revitalize the home country; "Boundary" means going to the world and creating the future. Attachment: (from the following story): Zhangjiajie was not called Zhangjiajie earlier, but called Qingyan Mountain. At that time, there was no family named Zhang on Qingyan Mountain. Why was it later called Zhangjiajie? This matter has to start with Liang who stayed in the Han Dynasty! According to legend, Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu, killed the heroes after pacifying the world. Sean, Liu Hou, thought of a sentence that Han Xin, Hou of Huaiyin, said before he died: "Cunning to avoid death, running dogs cook;" Birds are exhausted, and good bows are hidden; I couldn't help trembling a few times when I broke the enemy country and my adviser died, so I wanted to follow the example of Yue's stupidity and hide the Jianghu. But where to go? Entering Jianghuai is Liu's hinterland; If you want to stay in the county and seal the country, you can't stay long; Qinling Mountain, Bashan Mountain and Tiger and Leopard are in groups, which are not places for health and longevity. In the northwest, the Huns harassed him ... he thought about it and went to the south to find the red pine fairy Lord! Qu Yuan, a former doctor, was released and once visited Jingzhou and Wuling, leaving many poems for Yuan and Li Mingshan: "Yuan is wise, Li Youlan, I miss my son, but I dare not speak" and "Open up the sky! Fen I take Xi Yun Xuan "... I think there will be a fairyland on earth and fitness will be more fun, so he followed the footsteps of Akamatsu to Tianmen Mountain. Later, I climbed Qingyan Mountain. There is another world here, which is exactly what Sean is looking for. Wonderland of the world! Since then, he has lived in seclusion here, studied Taoism, and left behind his descendants. It is said that in order to make the scenery of Qingyan more beautiful, Sean planted seven ginkgo trees in the south of Qingyan Mountain. These seven ginkgo trees grow tall and big, just like seven huge umbrellas, propping up halfway up the mountain. One day many years later, a court official named Zhang Wanchong, wearing an official robe and jacket, took a sedan chair and took his wife and children to visit Qingyan Mountain. When he saw these seven ginkgo trees standing there like giants with ulterior motives, he wanted to take these seven trees as the boundary and divide this magical land of Qingyan Mountain into his own. So he invited a sculptor and asked him to carve a big word on each tree. It took the sculptor 49 days to carve it into seven characters: "Order Zhang Wan to cross the border". After the word was engraved, Zhang Wanchong looked at the skull again. While watching it, he laughed: "Hey, hey, great, it's mine forever!" "At present, he posted a notice with the gate board, stipulating that seven ginkgo trees are the boundary, five miles away from Fiona Fang, from the collapse of gongs and drums to Huangshizhai Village, from the view of heaven to the collapse of horses, all traffic is prohibited, and offenders will be beheaded. Moreover, the Zhang family in the cottage will be driven away, and Zhang Wanchong will thrive in this fairy mountain! His ban forced people around him to detour to collect firewood and graze, and Zhang was displaced with his children. One day, hunter Zhang Jinshan hit a tiger and happened to pass under seven ginkgo trees. He saw yellow water flowing on every tree, like a tearful man. Zhang was surprised at first. He doesn't know why ginkgo trees shed tears. Later, when he saw the seven characters "Zhang Wanchong was bound by the command", he suddenly realized that he was furious and suddenly pulled out his hunting knife. "Chen Wenjing" changed the word "Wan Chong" to "Jia Xiong" several times. Chen Wenjing "a few more times, split the sign into pieces! Zhang's move was serious, and people outside Zhai Zhai Zhai cheered in unison. Only Zhang Wanchong was flustered and furious. He transferred 300 Qin Bing and surrounded the Qingyan mountain area. He arrested people everywhere, searched the mountains from all directions, but failed to catch Zhang, so he took it out on the villagers. He drove the villagers to the ginkgo tree, claiming to dye seven Chinese characters with everyone's blood. At the time of crisis, I saw a flash of light on the tree, clouds around the tree mouth and branches hissing. Seven barrels of yellow water were suddenly ejected from the trunk and directed at Zhang Wanchong's men! In an instant, the wild waves were surging and overwhelming, and Zhang Wanchong poured into Jin Bianxi with three hundred military forces! When the villagers saw this scene, they all kowtowed to the ginkgo tree in fear and prayed for God's blessing. At this moment, I heard someone on the cloud say, "Listen, folks, this is a fairyland on earth. How can you allow Zhang Can Wanchong, the black sheep, to run amok?"! My God has ordered Ginkgo faerie to bury him at the bottom of the sea. This place belongs to Zhang * * * now, and it will exist forever! " Say that finish, he pointed to the seven ginkgo trees, I saw seven ginkgo trees immediately appeared on the "fairyland on earth Zhangjiajie" seven golden characters. When they looked up, they saw that the immortal looked like a scholar, with a high bun on his head, dressed in linen, a childish crane face and a sage-like style. Several knowledgeable elders in the crowd were shocked when they saw it, and said, "Isn't that my father-in-law who visited Tianmen Mountain and Qingyan Mountain with Big Fairy Akamatsu?" Hearing this, the crowd quickly bowed down and prayed. The immortal waved his sleeves, smiled and hid in the vast sea of clouds, drifting away in the direction of Huangshizhai. Because the name is lit up by the immortal Zhang, people call Qingyan Mountain "Zhangjiajie". These three place names are irrelevant.
