Zhu Xi's place name story

According to legend, in the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, one day, Zhu Yuanzhang learned that the disaster in Jiangnan was serious, called his ministers to discuss plans to overcome the disaster, and sent Liu Bowen to inspect Jiangnan. He saw with his own eyes the folk sufferings of "seventy-two voyages to the Western Ocean, ten years short of nine years" and sighed: "If you want to cure floods, you must first cross the mountains to stop water." From then on, it was named "Hengshan". The suspension bridge is in the middle of Hengshan Reservoir. There used to be a suspension bridge village, which was moved from 1958 to 1967, and 2678 houses were moved. Suspension Bridge Village is named after a "suspension bridge" built by three long-term workers. There used to be three temples in the west of the village, called "Fish King Temple", which had incense every year in June of the lunar calendar. According to legend, several cowboys released their cows into a pond and found countless fish crowded together in the pond, one of which was dead. Curious, the shepherd boy built a simple temple with fish bones as pillars, fish bones as rafters and fish scales as tiles. After the neighbors learned about this, they attracted many villagers to watch, thinking that the fish king came here and the people would definitely have more fish every year. In order to commemorate the "great achievements" of the "Fish King" and pray for peace, many villagers raised funds to build the "Fish King Temple". On the south side of Hengshan Reservoir in Xianrendong, there is a Mount Li. According to legend, when the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, everyone carried a stone and tried to build a dam here to control floods. A mortal casually said, "can a dam be built here?" Unless you are an immortal, the Eight Immortals were caught by mortals, so they poured all the stones together and piled up a "Lishan". "Eight Immortals" immediately disappeared from the sight of ordinary people. Later, people found a cave at the foot of the nearby "Changshan Mountain". They thought it was the place where the Eight Immortals went in and out, so they called it "Fairy Cave". On the east side of Hengshan Dam in Jilong Mountain, there is a Jilong Mountain with springs in it. The spring water flows through the village through a small stream. The spring water is clear and pure and endless. In the year of drought, it still does not dry up, which is quite impressive. Since ancient times, villagers have used this to drink starch and irrigate rice seedlings. The stream is winding and quiet, the trees on both sides are lush, the bamboo forests are like the sea, and the bridges are flowing with people, which is a style of Jiangnan water town. It brings happiness to the local people, so people call the mountain springs here "Fule Spring" and "Fule Creek". In 2004, Chang Xingyun, the former vice-chairman of the International Buddhist Association and the master of the pioneering school of Foguang Mountain in Taiwan Province Province, came here for a field trip. Since then, a bright pearl, Xueyuan Temple, has risen in this land of geomantic omen. Baita Temple is located at the foot of Baita Mountain, 5 miles west of Zhuxi Town. The mountains here are not high, the scenery is elegant, the narrow path winds up, and there are unknown wildflowers everywhere, bamboo and pine trees everywhere. According to historical records, as early as the first year of Xianchun in Song Dynasty (1265), a monk raised funds to build the Daigakuji, which was named "Dajuebao Temple". There is a seven-story white pagoda behind the temple. The temple is tall and majestic, and the bells in the temple are ringing and ringing in the distance. As long as you leave Zhang Zhu and walk on the autumn mountain, you can see the majestic Daigakuji, and the magnificent white tower is shining with silver light. Especially when the sun sets, the white tower set off by the sunset glow is even more magnificent. So later generations called this mountain Baita Mountain, Daigakuji changed its name to Baita Temple, and the village at the foot of the mountain was also called Baita Village, which has been used ever since. Unfortunately, the ancient White Pagoda has long been destroyed by soldiers, leaving no trace. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty in Ziyunli, there was a Daitou village near Yixing, Liyang. There was a man in the village named Shi Yizhi, who was admitted to the Jinshi in Kangxi and became the prime minister in Qianlong. Shi Yizhi was honest and clean during his official period in the DPRK, and his political achievements were outstanding, which was highly valued by the emperor. At the age of seventy, Gan Longen allowed him to retire. Before leaving, Shi Yizheng made a request to Qianlong, that is, a hundred years later, he chose a place in Yixing as his graveyard and built an archway as a memorial for future generations. Gan Long not only approved it, but also personally inscribed the plaques of "Rong En Square" and "Ziyunli" for the archway. Shi Yizhi of Fenshan Village returned to his hometown and died at the age of 8l. He was buried in the treasure house of Feng Shui chosen by Mr. Feng Shui in Yixing. And a magnificent and unique stone archway with four columns, two sides and three floors was built in front of the tomb. "Enrongfang" in the south and "Ziyunli" in the north of the archway are both Qianlong imperial pens, which are now listed as Yixing municipal cultural relics protection units. From the archway to the cemetery, there are stone men and women, more than 0.5 kilometers long. Later, people renamed this village with vertical archway as "Ziyunli", also called "Archway Village". The place where the tomb is buried is called "Fenshan Village", which is still in use today. Shenjiaba is located in the east of Xiajiang Village, where the ancients built dams to store water, forming a water area called Shenjiaba. Shenjiaba is more than 50 meters long and made of bluestone. The water surface in the dam is more than 50 mu. It is actually a small reservoir with a central island in the middle. The trees on the island are lush and beautiful. Shenjiaba has plenty of water, which can be used to irrigate farmland and wash the ground for drinking, and it has continued to this day. There are five dams in the upper reaches of Shenjiaba, the main function of which is to block water for irrigation at Xiajiang Bridge. Further up is the Chopsticks Bridge Dam, which is located in Wangxing Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Villa and is also a water retaining project. Shenjiaba, Wujiaba and Kuaiqiao Dam belong to the same water system, and the inflow area is about 10 km2. The source comes from Shenshan Mountain, forming Xihejing from south to north, and Kuaiqiaoba, Wujiaba and Shenjiaba flow into Laojie River. The ancients built deep dams here to store water. There are culverts between the dams, which can ensure the production and living water in peacetime and flood discharge through culverts in flood season, which is very scientific and practical. Tan Jiachong is located at the southernmost tip of Zhuxi Town, in the east of heng shan cun, at the northern foot of Hengshan Reservoir, a large water tank of Yixing people. This is a natural village with a long history. 66 households 178 people. Before the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Tan was the main place here, hence the name "Tan". When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was in war, the people were poor and the Tan family fled everywhere. In the 31st year of Guangxu (1905), the refugees from Guangshan County, Henan Province emigrated, and the five Shu families moved to Tanjiachong to take root and blossom. 1960, the state advocated the merger of small villages into large villages to facilitate eating in the canteen, and some families were merged into Tan Jia Chong. Before the construction of Hengshan Reservoir, some immigrants moved in. Wang Yu Temple was originally located in Diaoqiao Village, Zhuxi Town. This is the intersection of seventy-two streams in Taihua Mountain area. The flood season every year is the season for fish breeding. They swim upstream along the stream, spawning and breeding. Once the rain stops and the water level recedes, a large number of fish are trapped in one place, forming a phenomenon of fish gathering. One day, several shepherds were grazing by a pond and found countless fish in the pond, one of which was dead. The shepherd boy was curious, thinking that there were many fish gathered here, and the giant fish was the king of fish, so he immediately built a simple temple with fish bones as beams and columns, fish bones as rafters and fish scales as tiles. After learning about this incident, the local people thought that since the Fish Kings were here, they should build temples to burn incense and pray for blessings, so they raised funds to build three "Fish King Temples", and incense flourished in June of the lunar calendar every year. Hengshan Reservoir ceased to exist after it was put into storage on 1969.
