Hulunbeier, the largest prefecture-level city, where did its name come from?

Many people have said that if there is grassland in China, it must be Hulunbeier grassland. It is not only sung in songs, but also looks like a paradise on earth, a land with beautiful customs and human feelings. Everyone has always been puzzled by the name of this foreign flavor, but it is mainly because there is a Hulun Lake and a Bell Lake in China. But besides this reason, there are other legends.

First, the origin of love legends About the name Hulunbeier, Hulunbeier has a beautiful love legend. Legend has it that at the beginning, it was inevitable that a young couple, Huron and Bell, fell in love. However, the process is always bumpy. Although there was no family interference, at that time, a monster named Mungus appeared on the grassland, which brought great disaster to the grassland. So for the sake of grassland peace, young people took the initiative to fight Mungus, which is close to victory. But Bell thought that Hulun was dead, so he jumped into the lake and turned it into a lake. Hulun Lake jumped into the lake with him and became today's Hulun Lake and Zhong Lake.

Second, the meaning of Hulunbeier in Mongolian, Hulunbeier actually means otter, and Bert refers to male otter. In the eyes of ancient Mongolians, they like to use some animals as the names of some mountains and rivers, and there are many otters beside Hulun Lake and Bell Lake, which is why they have such names recently. Therefore, in the eyes of keel people, Hulun and Hulun are the names of two lakes rich in otters.

Third, the change of Hulunbeier's name In fact, before the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the two lakes in Hulunbeier were not these two names. As early as the Han Dynasty, two large lakes, Hulun Lake and Bell Lake, were named osawa, while in the Tang Dynasty, they were called Jielun Lake, which shows that water resources here were very rich long ago. But later, perhaps with the change of climate, grasslands were bred here. With the development of Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Mongolians gradually rose, and Hulunbeier officially entered history and has been prosperous until today.
