How did Taiyuan come from?

Originally refers to the vast and flat terrain, such as plains, plateaus, grasslands, sand plains and tundra. China's earliest monograph "Erya" explaining the meaning of words said: "Guangping is as original as before." Bai Juyi wrote in Farewell to Fudugu Cao Yuan that "the grass flows across the plain and comes and goes with the seasons", and Mao Zedong wrote in Qin Yuan Chunxue: "The mountain dances with silver snakes, and the original wax elephant." It is the wonderful use of the original. Tai, the old saying "big", such as Tai Zai is also called "big slaughter", and the prince is also called "eldest son"; There is also a difference between big and too big. If it is too big, add a little more, and it will be said to be bigger than big, which means endless, or very big and great. China's earliest records of Taiyuan literature are Shangshu Gong Yu and Shi Mao Xiaoya in June. The former is "backing the hukou, managing the beach, and managing the gap." Both Taiyuan and Yueyang have "; The latter is "thin and strict, as for Taiyuan". The former is called Hukou, that is, Hukou Waterfall of the West Yellow River in Jixian County, which is famous all over the world. Liang and Qi are different names of Luliang Mountain in different areas, and Yueyang is the sun of Taiyue (south), which refers to the vast Pingchuan area in the lower reaches of Fenhe River today. The latter, according to Gu's Records of the Sun and Taiyuan, swam in the Pingchuan area centered on Pingliang, Gansu. Whether Yugong is Taiyuan or Taiyuan in June, it is obvious that both of them have surpassed the original topographic name of Er Ya and entered the domain name, which is a proper name. Changfeng Street Taiyuan is an ancient city of China with a long history of more than 2,500 years. In 2003, it celebrated its 2500th anniversary (497 BC-2003 AD). It is famous for its long history, splendid culture and rich resources. Taiyuan is very big. Compared with any city in China, including the famous ancient capitals of Beijing, Xi 'an, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Kaifeng and Luoyang, it is not inferior. Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, once praised Taiyuan as "the three capitals of the heavenly kings, and the north is one of them", and "the giant town is a giant town, and it is also inhabited by non-virtue". History and culture are the greatest spiritual wealth of Taiyuan ancient city. Taiyuan has accumulated rich historical and cultural heritages, such as Jinci, which is a bright pearl of Chinese culture. The Twin Towers Temple "Lingxiao Twin Towers" built in Ming Dynasty is an outstanding representative of the Twin Towers in China. Longshan Grottoes, the largest Taoist grottoes in China, are praised by experts as the first in the world. Mengshan Buddha, built in the Northern Qi Dynasty and destroyed in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, is comparable to Leshan Buddha!
