These place names are also long-standing and have a long history, not new names. Therefore, I have to admire the aesthetic taste of the ancients and let future generations continue to use such names.
Although these names all sound beautiful, at the same time, these place names are gradually forgotten by everyone and forget the story behind them.
However, these names are worth remembering. Therefore, Chongqing has also taken corresponding measures.
Recently, Chongqing announced the first batch of historical place names protection lists, and 1 15 place names were selected in the city, which are basically very representative place names in various districts and counties.
Among all districts and counties in Chongqing, Yuzhong District and Nan 'an District have the most selected place names, reaching 10.
These place names have a long history, and the stories behind them are also worth savoring. With the publication of the Catalogue for the Protection of Historical Geographical Names, people will pay more attention to these geographical names, perhaps not all, but they should still want to know the geographical names of their districts and counties.
So many place names, I want to introduce them to you one by one, which is not very reliable, so I can only choose some for you.
Qianjiang District only chose one place name-Zhuoshui Town. According to relevant records, Zhuoshui Town flourished from the Tang Dynasty, reached its peak in the Song Dynasty, and gradually declined in the later period. According to the latest A-level scenic spot evaluation, Zhuoshui scenic spot is upgraded to 5A level, which can give tourists and friends a better experience.
Yuzhong District, as the mother city of Chongqing, has a deeper cultural and historical background. Jie Fangbei, Chaotianmen, Tongyuanmen, Eighteen Ladders and other place names have all entered the list.
Let's focus on the eighteen ladders. At first glance, this name may be difficult for many people to understand, but it also has practical significance.
There is a saying that the residents living in Eighteen Ladders mainly rely on a well to provide daily drinking water, and because the distance between this well and the residents is eighteen steps, it is named Eighteen Ladders.
There is another saying, because the steps of the whole area of the Eighteen Ladders are divided into eighteen sections, and there is a platform for everyone to rest in the middle of each section, so the name Eighteen Ladders was taken.
Let's take a look at our Nan 'an District. The chosen place name is particularly beautiful and people like it very much.
At the same time, most of the 12 scenic spots in Bayu, which are widely circulated, are related to Nan 'an District-Haitang Yanyu, Huangge Evening Crossing and Longmen Hao Yue. Behind each beautiful name, there are equally moving scenery.
Finally, talk about the only Jinfo Mountain selected in Nanchuan District. As it happens, Youpin has just been there recently.
It is said that the whole mountain shape of Jinfo Mountain is like a Buddha statue, and it shines in the sunlight at the same time, hence its name.
Jinfo Mountain has different scenery and characteristics all year round, with flowers in spring, flowers in summer, leaves in autumn and snow in winter. When I went to travel, it happened that it snowed in Jinfo Mountain. For southerners, such a scene is still very attractive.
In addition to the above, there are many unique place names. You can view the complete list yourself.
