In 222 BC, which was the 25th year of Qin King Yingzheng’s reign, Qin’s general Wang Jian and others led their troops to pacify the Jiangnan area belonging to Chu State, surrendered the king of Baiyue, and conquered Wu and Yue. As Kuaiji County, the county was established to govern Wu, which is now Suzhou in Jiangsu Province. Three counties, Yin, Luan and Juzhang, were established in the current territory of Ningbo City. As a result, Yinxian County officially began to enter the stage of history as a county-level administrative system. From then on until AD 8-23, Wang Mang of the Eastern Han Dynasty "changed Yin to Jin, and Luan to Haizhi" ("Hanshu Geography"). This period lasted about 15 years. In the ninth year of Emperor Wen's reign in the Sui Dynasty, when it snowed in Xun 589, "Pingchen, and the remaining three counties of Yao, Yin, and Luan were included in Juzhang" ("Geography of Sui Dynasty"). Until the end of Sui Dynasty, it was successively subordinate to Wuzhou, Yuezhou and Kuaiji counties, about 31 years. From the fourth year of Wude to the seventh year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, Yinzhou was established in Juzhang County. By the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was all called Luan County and was subordinate to Yuezhou and Mingzhou successively for about 283 years. Starting from the third year of Kaiping of Liang Taizu in the Five Dynasties, Luan County was changed to Yin County and has remained unchanged. From December 1958 to December 1961, Yin County was abolished and returned to Ningbo City for a period of three years. Later, the organizational system of Yin County was restored until the county was removed and the Yinzhou District was established in 2002. It can be seen that the total number of years when Yindi was not named after "Yin" is only about 332 years. When King Yingzheng of Qin established Yin County, it roughly included the entire three counties of Fenghua, Ninghai, and Xiangshan, as well as the southern part of Yin County. Baidu in Fenghua City is now the county seat. Therefore, the "Siming Chronicles" compiled during the Baoqing period of the Song Dynasty said: "Fenghua is located in Yin County, Kuaiji County. There is Yincheng Mountain in Baiduli in the east of today's county, and at the foot of the mountain is Guangfu Yuan and the old Yun Yincheng Yuan, which is the ancient Yin County government seat." The geographical scope of Yinxian County was adjusted and changed later, but the basic area remained stable in today's Ningbo City. To sum up, Yin County has a history of 2,230 years since its founding, and the county (state) named "Yin" lasts for a total of about 1,898 years. Therefore, Yin County is one of the oldest organized counties in my country. As a unique geographical and cultural symbol, the word "Yin" is the "root" and "line" of Yin's economic and social development and cultural inheritance. It is the interaction between Yin people for more than two thousand years. Marks of identification and identification. The word "Yin" is ancient and unique, which often causes confusion and errors in pronunciation and recognition among outsiders. Usually "Qin" is mistaken for "Yin". Of course, it also brings cognitive problems to Yinzhou's external image. some confusion. Therefore, when the county was removed and established as a district five years ago, some people proposed to take this opportunity to change Yin County to Mingzhou District, Siming District, or even Dongqian Lake District for easier identification. However, the chief ministers in charge of Yin County resisted all opinions. , reached a consensus and believed that without the word "Yin", future generations would have more difficulties in understanding Yindi's rich and splendid history and culture, so they decisively chose "Yinzhou" as the district name and resolutely retained it. The humanistic symbol "Yin" is really valuable. ■There are different explanations for the name. Human beings always like to explore the past of their hometown. Because of this, from ancient times to the present, there are many people who have tried to explain the origin of the name "Yin" County. Since the Song Dynasty, there have been many explanations in the local chronicles of Siming (Yin County), and famous scholars from Yin such as Wang Yinglin, Yuan Jue, Quan Zuwang, etc. have all studied it intensively. "General Chronicles of Yinxian·Wenwenzhijiu" compiled during the Republic of China compiled various interpretations of Yin in the past dynasties. Sha Menghai, a famous calligrapher from Yinji, also wrote "Yin Zi Shuo" in the 1950s. Since details are found in old local chronicles and new county chronicles, these will not be described in detail. Here is a summary as follows: First, the theory of "Red Pansy Mountain". The "Wuyue Chunqiu" written in the Eastern Han Dynasty says: "There is Mount Chijin in the county, so the city was added as Yin." The Chijinshan Mountain here has always been referred to in two ways: Mr. Sha Menghai believes that it refers to the Chijinshan Mountain in the original Chijin Township, Tangxi Town, Yinxian County, commonly known as Yinshan Gang; "Fengyi Cultural Collection" compiled by modern people also refers to it. The county seat of Guyin County is Chijinshan Mountain in Baidu. The above or simply referred to as "Mount Pansy". The second is the theory of "red violet grass". The Qing Dynasty historian Gu Zuyu's "Minutes of Reading History Fangyu" says: "In Xia, there was a kingdom of Jinzi, named after the Red Jinyan Mountain. Jinji is the name of grass, and the city is Yin." The word "Jingy" used as the name of grass has long been used. Simplified. Viola purpurea is now known as Viola purpurea, commonly known as Viola purpurea. The third is the theory of "Wang Yin". According to "Collection of Pictures and Odes of Siming Cave Tiandan Mountain" compiled by Zeng Jian and others of the Yuan Dynasty, Qin Shihuang sent Wang Yin to the east of Yongbo to drive away ghosts and move mountains and seas, so the county was named after Wang Yin. This theory originated in the Song Dynasty and became popular in the Yuan Dynasty. Among the above-mentioned statements, the first one is the strongest. This statement is held by the "Yinxian General Chronicles" of the Republic of China. We have noticed that due to the lack of historical analysis methods, the lack of ancient Vietnamese language documents and research, and the lack of research on the word "Yin" from multiple disciplines such as phonology, exegesis, etymology, and onomastics, resulting in the lack of "Yin" The biased understanding of the original meaning of the word "Yin" leads to the above-mentioned explanation of the name of Yin County being far-fetched. In the "Yin County Chronicles" published by Zhonghua Book Company in 1996, in the second section of the first section "Administrative Regions", "County Names", it took a unique approach and ingeniously put forward the view that "Yin, a Vietnamese place name, has no original meaning", but it has not yet been published. No scholar has further explained this, so that the theory of "Red Pansy Mountain" which gave Yinxian County its name has been popular for a long time, and it has been spread widely through false rumors and is almost certain. According to research, the earliest document in which the word "Yin" appears is the history book "Guoyu·Yueyu" written around the Spring and Autumn Period. It has a history of nearly 2,500 years. It has a history of "the land of Jujian, as far south as Juwu (now Zhuji area), extending to Yu'er (today's Jiaxing area) in the north, to Yin in the east, and to Gumi (today's Taihu Lake area) in the west. "Dong Yin" belonged to Guyue in the Spring and Autumn Period, east of Kuaiji. "Yin" is a place name that is a combination of phonetic and phonetic sounds. It came into being before the county name "Yin" appeared. Therefore, the origin and interpretation of the original meaning and initial extended meaning of "Yin" should be in the Central Plains.
Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jiezi" Tubu said: "Viola, clay, from soil, from Huang Province." Duan Yucai's note: "Those who come from yellow, loess is very sticky. I understand." "Shuowen Jiezi" Jinbu said: "Viola, clay soil." Therefore, loess is viola, which is the original meaning, and Xu Shenxun refers to clay, which is an extension. righteous. Sha Menghai once quoted this point of view in "The Theory of Yin Zi", which is undoubtedly very appropriate and accurate. Therefore, the original meaning of the word "Jin" can be literally translated as "yellow land"; the word "Yin" is "Jin + Yi", which makes sense and can be interpreted as "yellow land where people gather together". As for the original meaning of the word "Jin" as the name of ancient Yin County, it is worthy of consideration. "Viola" has multiple pronunciations and several interpretations. In addition to the interpretation of "loess", the noun is used as the name of grass, vegetable, color, and it is also used as "only", "hinkgo", and "earth pansy". There are other explanations. For "Tu", "Shi", "Sincerity", etc. In language reference books such as "Kangxi Dictionary" and "Hanyu Dictionary", "Jin" and "Yin" are completely different. "Shuowen Jiezi" Yibu said: "Yin, Kuaiji County, Congyi, Jinsheng", Duan Yucai's note: "Yin, its character was first written as Jin, and later added Yi." The paragraph note only explains the phonetic " The word "Yin" evolved from the character "煇" which means something. It was created by people in the Central Plains area at that time. The word "Yin" that was later used to name Yindi was developed from the word "煞". But can "Jin" be equated with the county name "Yin"? Can "Yindi, Yinshan, Yinshui" be directly written as "Yindi, Jinshan, Jinshui"? The original meaning is "a place where people live together". Is the word "Yin" in "Yellow Earth" the origin of the name Yin County? In fact, the original meaning of the word "Yin" that was later named Yindi and used as the name of the county is similar to the words "Gou Wu, Yu'er, Gu Mi" and the ancient "Yin". It is actually difficult to specify the name of the county like "Juzhang". They are all just transliterations of the ancient Yue language. This is just as Chen Qiaoyi, a professor at Zhejiang University, said in the preface of "Interesting Talks about Xiaoshan Dialects" (Fangzhi Publishing House, 2004 edition): "The ancient Yue people were a tribe with only language and no writing. The ancient Yue words and Yue words left today are all "Yueyin-Chinese translation." Of course, this Chinese translation must be added in quotation marks. When the ancient Yue people came, there was no such thing as Han people in the Chinese nation. Indeed, in the Yindi area, the civilized Central Plains at that time regarded them as "Eastern Barbarians" and "Southern Barbarians" who were out of reach, just like today's primitive humans or some ethnic minorities without their own writing. "Yin" is just an ancient Yue people's phonetic recognition of their place of residence. Since there are no written records to verify, it is now difficult to clarify its original meaning. At that time, the literate Central Plains people recorded it using the existing character "Yin", so it was a phonetic character. Otherwise, at that time, the history of civilization in Yindi would have synchronized with that of the Central Plains, and the cultural communication between Yindi and the Central Plains would have been through written communication without any obstacles. Wouldn't it be absurd? Chen Qiaoyi also said: "It is precisely because of the Chinese translation of Vietnamese that the Han people who later entered this area often interpreted the Vietnamese language in Chinese terms. For example, Yao interpreted Yu Yao and Shun interpreted Shang Yu in Chinese legends." Later Due to limitations of knowledge, love for hometown, and folk customs, people often interpret the transliterations of ancient Vietnamese words in the "Chinese" meaning. As a result, all kinds of localized self-justifications will be produced. Mr. Sha Menghai's "Theory of Yin Zi" goes to great lengths to prove that "Yin" county was named after his hometown "Red Pansy Mountain", which belongs to this category. The "Yue Jueshu" compiled by Yuan Kang of the Eastern Han Dynasty records that Xue Zhu taught swordsmanship to King Goujian of Yue. "The mountain of red pansy breaks out of tin, and the stream of Ruoye dries up and comes out of copper." "The red pansy tin mentioned in Shaoxing County has some influence in ancient Chinese history and culture, but it is certainly not the reason why Yin County got its name. However, several Chijin Mountains in ancient Yin County (including present-day Fenghua) are not mentioned in the important historical documents of my country before the Eastern Han Dynasty, except for the Yin County local chronicles of the Song Dynasty, and there is no supporting evidence. How can the dynasties as far away as the Central Plains know about it? Named after this? In addition, red pansy is a grass. The grass is responsible for the mountain, and the mountain is responsible for the county. I am afraid it is just meaningless. The "Chinese" translation of Vietnamese has provided imaginative material for later generations to create many vivid mythological stories. The theory of "Wang Yin" after which Yin County was named is also an example. "Siming Cave Tiandan Mountain Illustration and Ode Collection" was found in Daozang, after the Song Dynasty What Taoists did rashly has become a public opinion. People in the Ming Dynasty had the theory of the Kingdom of Jin during the reign of Emperor Yu of Xia Dynasty. Qian Daxin believed that "the common saying is untrue and is just a painting." (Volume 19 of "Qian Yan Tang Collection" "Yin County Chronicles") Various derivatives of the Vietnamese "Chinese" translation The vivid myths, stories and legends have allowed good people in the past dynasties to attach themselves to the local area and create various place names, temples and so-called imprints, and inspired the literary and poetic nature of many literati, thus creating numerous and influential works. Historical documents and literary and artistic works, such as the Temple of King Shun in Wangtan Town, Shaoxing County, Shunjing in Shangyu County, Tong'ao, the county seat of Luan County, and now Baozhuang, Wuxiang Town, are said to be important trade towns in the Qin and Han Dynasties, etc. similar situation. Despite this, the above-mentioned tangible and intangible cultural heritages are already ancient people, ancient events, monuments, and ancient books compared to today's people. They have been spread for a long time, have a certain influence, and have been deeply integrated into the local area through the ages. It is a long river of economy, society and history and culture, so it has certain value in history, geography, toponymy, sociology, folklore and even literature. Li Ciming, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, also said in "Yuemantang Diary" (July 13, the eighth year of Tongzhi): "Yao, Ji, Yu, and Yan are just counties named after dialects, and their meanings are not clear." With " This is not the case for the famous county Yin, so the explanation in the 1996 edition of "Yin County Chronicles" is obviously correct, that is, it was adapted from the transliterated ancient Yue place name and became the exclusive county name. As the name of the county, the clear expression of the word "Yin" should be: "Yin, the transliteration of the ancient Vietnamese place name, the original meaning has not been tested."
