Extended data:
In the Yuan Dynasty, there was a King Hada whose residence was at Wenmingmen, so people called Wenmingmen Hadamen or Hades Gate. Later scholars thought that "Hada" and "Hade" were indecent when writing books.
Therefore, on the one hand, it uses its homophonic sound, on the other hand, it uses the geographical position of the civilized gate at the eastern end to write it as "the gate of the sea generation", because "the sea" and "the generation" both mean the east in China's ancient poems.
However, in the end, the name "Hadmen" is still the longest in the world. Until liberation, there were Hadmen brand cigarettes on the market; Until now, the Hadmen Hotel still stands on Chongwenmen Street.
In the fourth year of Ming Dynasty, Wenmingmen was renamed Chongwenmen, based on the Book of Changes. It is vigorous, civilized and moral. Symmetrical with Xuanwu Gate, the left is the text, and the right is the force.
