What is the history and culture of Qingyuan?

Qingyuan is also called Fengcheng, because the map of Qingyuan is like a phoenix. The name of Fengcheng also comes from a legend: on a tall plane tree near Qingyuan Workers' Cultural Palace, there lived a nest of phoenixes, and under the tree lived a young man named Zhang Yi, who made a living by rowing. One year, there was a flood in Beijiang River. As the saying goes, "Nanxiong falls into the water and scatters wet stones. He went to Shaoguan and gained three feet. He poured half of England and Germany and immersed himself in Qingyuan. " It can be seen that the flood was fierce and Qingcheng was flooded at once. Zhang Yi supported the boat to save people everywhere and saved them under the buttonwood tree. When he heard the call of the Phoenix, he found that the water level was almost submerged at the top of the tree, and the Phoenix went out to look for food. When the phoenix's wings were not long enough, when the water flooded the buttonwood tree, Zhang Yi quickly swam to the center of the tree and picked up the phoenix in the nest, but Zhang Yi's feet were entangled in the parasitic vines of the tree and could not get away, so she had to put the phoenix in the boat. Seeing this touching scene, I think people are willing to lay down their lives to save the phoenix, and they should also fulfill the wishes of young people to save lives. They lay on the water and let the drowning man step on its back to escape. Finally, due to physical exhaustion, they also died, and Qingyuan was like a phoenix. The place where the phoenix worships is called Li Qifeng, so Qingcheng is named Fengcheng. There are two phoenixes in Guangdong because another father, Phoenix, flew back.

Its history and culture:

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qingyuan belonged to Baiyue. After the Qin Dynasty unified China, administrative agencies were set up to develop Lingnan, and Qingyuan belonged to Nanhai County and Changsha County.

The early Han Dynasty belonged to Zhao Tuo. During the reign of Emperor Gaozu (206- 195), Guiyang County (now Lianzhou), Yangshan County, Mianyang County and Hanguang County (Mian, now yingde city) were successively located, all belonging to Guiyang County. Ding Yuan (formerly11) was located in Suzhong County (formerly Qingyuan County) and belonged to Nanhai County.

During the Three Kingdoms period, all counties belonged to Shixing County.

During the Southern Liang Dynasty (502-5 19), Qingyuan County was established to govern five counties, namely, Yunnan, Guizhou, Enshi and Khufu, hence the name Qingyuan. Yangshan county is also established, which governs Yangshan, Guiyang and Guangde (later renamed Guangze and Lianshan). Hanguang set up Hengzhou and led Yangshan County.

In the tenth year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (590), Qingyuan County and its subordinate counties were abandoned, and Qingyuan County and Zhengbin County (now the riverside area of Qingxin County) were established, which still belonged to Nanhai County. At the same time, Yangshan County was abandoned and moved to Lianzhou, and Hengzhou was renamed Kuizhou. In 20 years (600 years), Kuizhou was abandoned, and its county was transferred to guangzhou fu.

In the sixth year of Tang Wude (623), Zhengbin County was merged into Qingyuan County, which belonged to guangzhou fu. In the first year of Tianbao (742), Lianzhou moved to Lianshan County. Nanhan enjoyed five years (92 1 year) and established Yingzhou in Mianyang County.

In the second year of Song Xuanhe (1 120), Yingzhou was renamed as Zhenyang County, and Hanguang and Mianyang were renamed as Hanguang County and Zhenyang County. In the first year of Qingyuan (1 195), Zhenyang County was promoted to Yingde House.

In the 15th year of Yuan Dynasty (1278), Yingde Prefecture was changed to Yingde Road General Administration, and soon it was reduced to a state, with jurisdiction over Yangguang County and Zhenyang County. In the first year of Qingyuan (1 195), Zhenyang County was promoted to Yingde House.

In the fifth year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (1727), Lianzhou was Zhili Prefecture, Guangdong Province, with two counties: Lingyangshan and Lianshan. In the 18th year of Jiaqing (18 13), the military and civilian departments of Guangdong Chief Secretary Fogang were established in Qingyuan and Yingde counties (equivalent to county-level organizational system).

In the first year of the Republic of China (19 12), Lianzhou was renamed Lianxian. In 3 years, Fogang changed the hall into a county. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, the Guangdong provincial government moved northward to Lian County, and Qingyuan counties were placed under the second administrative supervision area of Guangdong Province (in Lian County). In 35 years, Lianshan, Lianshan and Yangshan were divided into three counties, and Liannan County was newly established.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, except Fogang County, which once belonged to Shaoguan, Guangzhou and Foshan, all counties successively belonged to Beijiang Administrative Office, Shaoguan Commissioner and Shaoguan Administrative Office. 1953, Liannan and Lianshan merged into Liannan Yao Autonomous County. 1958, Lianxian County, Liannan County, Lianshan County and Yangshan County merged and became Yang Lian Autonomous County.
