Idioms and allusions

"Zhang San Li Si Wang Wu Zhao Liu" is the first to say that there are 18 families with four surnames in Hangzhou. Hangzhou used to be the capital of Wu Yue State in Five Dynasties and the capital of Southern Song Dynasty. It once became the political, economic and cultural center of the country. The city was prosperous and the population came from all directions. After the war, the population flow was frequent. It is said that there are only 18 Hangzhou people left behind (there is an ancient town called left behind in the west of Hangzhou, which has a history of about 1000 years). It is generally believed that the original name of Liuliu Town, Xixi, was changed to "Liuliu" by later generations. But why change it to this name with "another meaning"? There are two versions. First, according to the records of Qiantang county annals written by Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, it is said that "in July 1129, the third year of song Jianyan, Gaozong (Zhao Gou) went to the south. Fortunately, Xixi was built here at first, and then Fenghuang mountain was built, which said:" Xixi will stay. ". Therefore, the name of this place remains and is still in use today. For this statement, we know more people, but also more credible, so it is generally introduced in this way. But there is another saying, which seems more popular. This means that after the yuan soldiers attacked Hangzhou, they killed all the people in Hangzhou. It turned out that Hangzhou was "the most magnificent city in the world" written by Marco Polo, with a population of 1.8 million. As a result, after a few days of captivity, the Yuan people went to Wushan to have a look, and only 18 chimneys were still smoking in the west of Hangzhou. At this time, the yuan soldiers "showed great mercy" and said that these 18 families were "not allowed to stay" Next. In this way, since then, Xixi has the name of "Liuliu". At the same time, it is said that there are only 18 old Hangzhou people in Hangzhou They are the real Hangzhou people, that is, the so-called "Zhang San Li Si Wang Wu Zhao Liu", a total of 18 families with four surnames. There is also a saying that "Hangzhou radish is planted in Shaoxing", which means that Hangzhou people's Congress are all immigrants from Shaoxing. Baidu Encyclopedia content is shared by netizens.
