Historical evolution

It is said that in the Warring States period, in order to control the floods in the south, the first emperor of Qin sent five precious elephants from the south of the five ridges to stop the mountain torrents and keep them safe forever. The five elephants stopped when they were near Nanning. Qin Shihuang patted the ass of the elephant with his hand, but it was empty. He couldn't help but get angry. When he woke up, he realized that it was a dream. The first emperor of Qin, who woke up from his dream, sent people to the south to inquire. As expected, there are five more elephant like mountains in the south. Since then, the floods in Nanning have been reduced, and wuxiangling has become an auspicious image in people's mind to protect Nanning.

In October 2004, after the square was completed, the name "Jinhu square" was also used.

In December 2004, due to the construction of "five elephant fountain" sculpture in Jinhu square, it was renamed "five elephant square". According to historical records, because there is a five elephant ridge, Nanning is known as "five elephant city". The name of "Wuxiang square" is related to the ancient "Wuxiang legend", Wuxiang ridge and "Wuxiang sculpture" in the square. It not only has historical connotation, but also is more vivid and easy to be accepted and identified by the public. However, after the name of "Wuxiang square" was changed, the roads connecting the north and south of the square were still named "Jinhu South Road" and "Jinhu North Road"

In the past two years (Note: from 2008 to 2010), with the development of Wuxiang new area, more and more citizens have discussed Wuxiang new area, Wuxiang square, Wuxiang Forest Park and Wuxiang Avenue. Some citizens and guests mistakenly believe that Wuxiang square is located in Wuxiang new area. Therefore, the place name of "Wuxiang square" has the problem of cognitive confusion.

On November 18, 2010, Nanning city place name office issued a notice, which was approved by the executive meeting of the municipal government. The "Wuxiang square" located in Langdong was renamed "Jinhu square". The name of "Wuxiang square", marked by the sculpture of "Wuxiang fountain", has withdrawn from the stage of history.

The origin of the name

According to the relevant person in charge of the division and place name division of the Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, according to the general rules of place name naming, the place name should properly reflect the relevant geographical entities and reflect the physical characteristics of geography. There is a "five elephant fountain" in Jinhu square, which is a symbol of Nanning city. Naming it "five elephant square" can better reflect the geographical characteristics of the square, plus the mysterious five elephants According to the legend of Xiangling, the renamed Plaza will be more vivid and easy to be accepted and identified by the public. Therefore, in accordance with the relevant naming standards for urban squares and the opinions of the general public, the relevant departments decided to change the name of "Jinhu square" to "Wuxiang square".
