The word "Zhigu" originated from "Zhigu Village". After the Jin Dynasty destroyed Liao, it moved its capital to Yanjing (now Beijing) in 1 153 and changed Yanjing to Zhongdu. Due to the continuous development of water transport and salt industry, the Sanchahekou area where the North-South Canal meets the Haihe River is increasingly prosperous. At the end of the Jin Dynasty, Zhenyuan lasted about two years to ensure the safety of water and salt storage and transportation in Zhongdu. Zhigu Village was built at the mouth of Sancha River. Therefore, the word "Zhigu" is the earliest name in the process of Tianjin's urban development, and Zhigu Village is the earliest building in Tianjin. Zhi gu cun looks like a turtle, with the glans as the background and the body as the front desk. This military fortress has existed since the Song Dynasty. Therefore, there are two words circulating in the local area: "First, there are salt and grain soldiers stationed in Zhigu, and then there is Tianjin defending the North." There are beneficial lakes, Dawa Lake and Dongda Lake in the east, Jinghu Lake, Xuejia Lake and Xida Lake in the west, and Gui Hu in the north of the background, commonly known as turtle pit. The Jin Dynasty appointed Wei as the viceroy and Li Bi as the deputy viceroy, guarding Zhiguzhai. Until today, there are still many surnames such as Liang and Li Er in Zhigu. Today's Hedong Stadium, in the southwest of the background, is the teaching ground of Song, Jin and Yuan Dynasties.
As the saying goes in Jinmen, "Three treasures in Dazhi Valley, ancient temples, burning knives (referring to the brewing industry) and high platforms." There are many people in the place names of Greater zhi gu who take "Taiwan" as the general name, such as the front desk, the middle desk, the backstage, the east viewing platform, the west viewing platform, the Liujiatai, the east Sunjiatai and the west Sunjiatai, which shows that the land in Greater zhi gu is earlier and the terrain is higher.
As early as the end of the Yuan Dynasty, after Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, occupied Nanjing, he named his fourth son, Judy, as the prince and led the army to attack the Yuan army in the north. Folk call the Northern Expedition "Prince Sweeping the North". Judy moved from Jianghuai area to Beijing and Tianjin to open up a village. The army fought in wartime and settled in peacetime. After several years of hard work, it changed the desolate face of the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, therefore moved his capital to Beijing and Tianjin. As the head of kings, Zhu Yuanzhang will inherit the throne in the future. Unexpectedly, after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, his eldest son Zhu Yunwen (Wen Jian) succeeded to the throne. Judy, the prince of Yan, thought she was a traitor to the DPRK, and at the same time publicly declared that she was the Emperor in Beijing (Yongle Emperor). At the same time, dispatch troops punished evil and launched the "Battle of Jingnan" in the history of China.
One day, Judy, the governor of the Prince of Yan, came to the seaside of Sanchahekou and looked around. Ships and boats are connected in the river, and cars and cars are connected on the shore. The shore is crowded with people and shops. The prince asked, "What is this place?" The left and right answers are "Xiao Zhi Valley". The prince thought for a moment and said, "There is the momentum of a big city here. Why did our army get smaller when it passed here? Wrong! " The courtiers quickly agreed, "Please tell me your name." The prince ordered the ministers to try a few names first. Ministers have chosen several eulogizing names, which are nothing more than kindness, virtue, happiness and longevity. When the prince heard this, he just looked up at the sky. When ministers saw the prince looking at the sky, they knew that he meant the word "heaven". One minister said it could be changed to "balance". It is better to change it to' Tianjin'. "The prince liked it very much and told him to go on. The minister proudly said, "My emperor is the son of heaven today. He served the heaven and punished the people, won the people's hearts and obeyed the will of God, so he was called Tian.". My emperor is an eternal inheritance, and he led hundreds of officials and thousands of troops across Hejin here, so he was called' Tianjin'. So Tianjin is also called Tianjin. In the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1404), Wei was established in Tianjin, which was a military establishment of the Ming Dynasty. Tianjin * * * has three guards and more than 16,000 troops. Therefore, people also call Tianjin Tianjinwei. If Wei will build a city, Tianjin's urban history will begin as a whole.
