Why is Weiyuan County in Sichuan Province called Broken City?

Weiyuan County used to be called Pocheng, and Jianyang County was called "Porun" in the south. Because it was named after the local aborigines at that time. But then the Han nationality expanded here, and the local aborigines were miserable.

Indigenous people are called "people now".

In the Sui Dynasty, the broken city was renamed "Weiyuan", which means "fame is far from earthquake". Just like the "Wuwei County" during the expansion of the western regions, it shows the heroic spirit of great men. Jianyang Porun was renamed and merged into "Jianzhou" as early as the Western Wei Dynasty.

Corresponding to the mountainous terrain of Weiyuan County ... At that time, there was a big war. In order to shock modern people, the place name was changed to Chinese "Weiyuan".
