Water mirror is in Zhengzhou.

There is a Jingxiangcheng village in Yulong Town, east of Xingyang City 10 km. Because it used to be the capital of Zheng during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and there was also a Jingxian County, it was called the capital in ancient times. A river that flows through here is called a water mirror. According to the Records of Xingyang Land, "Water mirror is an ancient river. Before the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Shuijing River was occupied by the Yellow River (now the upper reaches of Jia Luhe). " It is also recorded in the ancient book "Notes on Water Classics": "Yellow water originated from Huangdui Mountain (now Huangdiling) in Jingxian County, named Zhu Longquan (now Shengchi). The spring water boils and flows to the southwest, which is called the water mirror. " Another way of saying that the water mirror got its name is that as early as the first year of Stegosaurus in Song Taizu (AD 960), the Song Dynasty wanted to move Kyoto to the west of Zhengzhou, so it renamed the easternmost river of Sanshui (Suoshui, Xu Shui and Huangshui) in Zhengzhou as the water mirror. The last three hydrates flowed into Bianshui, and Bianjing was supplied with grain, grass and daily necessities in Song Dynasty.

There are two villages named after water mirrors flowing through Zhengzhou, and Xijing well, also known as Xiaojing well, is located at 15km west of Zhengzhou. North of Zhengzhou 15km is called Jingshui, also called Dajingshui. In the early years, Dajingshui Village was located in the upper reaches of the Bianshui River, with a distance of15km from Guangwu in the north, Zhengzhou in the south, Xingyang in the west and Zhongmou in the east. Here, a flood and drought wharf is formed, which is a distribution center for goods. After vicissitudes of life, during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, the Yellow River burst its banks many times not far from here. In order to protect river affairs, it has become the living base of river officials and their families, with rapid population growth and prosperous industry. By the early years of the Republic of China, the population of this village had exceeded 20,000, making it the largest town in the north of Zhengzhou. At this time, the streets of Shuijing Town are wide and there are many shops. There are meetings every other day and every month. People come and go, which is very lively. According to Cui Jingyuan, a 90-year-old man in the village, there were four complete primary schools in Zhengzhou at that time, and Shuijing Town was the location of the fourth complete primary school. He still remembers singing in the school song at that time: "The scenery in front of Shuijing Town is good, and it is necessary to turn over the silver waves. The Yellow River flows into Tao Jin and flows out of Tessa, producing heroes and heroes, with a high style of writing in previous dynasties. " Singing the cultural landscape of Shuijing Town at that time.

1938 In War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Chiang Kai-shek "replaced soldiers with water" and ordered the Kuomintang troops stationed in Zheng to open the Huayuankou levee. At that time, the Yellow River flooded more than 40 counties in Henan, Anhui and Su Sansheng. Shuijing Town, facing Huayuankou, was destroyed by two thirds of yellow water overnight. The house disappeared and the land became a floodplain. Most people fled to other towns and begged with sticks. The once prosperous town has become a run-down village full of ruins. 194 1 August, Japanese invaders gathered in the northern suburb of Zhengzhou, trying to besiege Zhengzhou in three ways. After more than 30 battles, the anti-Japanese troops stationed in Zhengzhou drove the Japanese invaders out of Zhengzhou on June 365438+1October 3 1 day and night. The defeated Japanese army gathered in Shuijing Village and was surrounded by China anti-Japanese troops on the night of165438+1October 30th. Another night of fierce fighting, Li Deng, commander of the Japanese Major General, was killed and the Japanese suffered heavy losses. This is the famous battle of Zhengzhou. This anti-Japanese campaign near Shuijing Village has also been recorded in the history of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

Today's Dajingshui village, after years of restoration and reconstruction, its central area is still a big village, especially after planning and development in recent years, the prosperity of the new Shuijing village in the suburban area far exceeds that of the old Shuijing town.
