Historical records

A textual research on "Xiang'an"

"Xiang'an" is now a town of Wuwei City, but its place name has a long history, far more than "Wuwei". Like "Juchao", the name of "Xiang'an" is very old. Unfortunately, Cihai has not included it. According to Wuwei County annals (1993 edition), Wuwei town (now Wucheng town) was set up in 581, the first year of kaihuang reign of Sui Dynasty, which was subordinate to Xiang'an county. "Wuwei" was recorded as a place name in Song History Geography annals.

Appeared in the Warring States policy

Xiangan, as a term, first appeared in the book of Warring States policy: "the Yin of the county should be sweet, the Yan should be near, and the officials should be loyal. I would like to have a good effect on the king of Xiang'an. When the Song Dynasty is still in its infancy, why do you love these two places? " "Xiangan Jun" is a member of the royal family of the state of Yan. He was granted the title of King Zhao of Yan and was the younger brother of King Zhao of Yan. King Zhao once sent him to the state of Qi for activities. This "Xiang'an" system appears as a personal name. Whether it is in the name of fiefdom or not, and how the fiefdom of the state of Yan was in Chu, all these questions can't be investigated. Therefore, although it says "Xiang'an", it can't be connected with the place name of Xiang'an.

Time records of Qin Dynasty

According to the inference, "Xiang'an" should be taken as a place name in the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty unified the whole world and set up a county system. According to the records of the first emperor of Qin, in the 26th year of the first emperor of Qin, Xiang'an county was established. First of all, according to the records of Wuwei Prefecture compiled during the reign of Emperor Qianlong, "Xiang'an" belonged to Chu during the Warring States period. Qin unified the world and set up a county, which belonged to Jiujiang county. "Xiang'an" used to be the seat of Jiujiang county. Secondly, according to the archaeological findings of Chaohu cultural relics management office and Wuwei County Cultural Bureau on March 27, 1983, baiheguan in Xiang'an is a cultural site of Shang and Zhou dynasties, which is called "baiheguan site", and the later stele is "baiheguan ancient cultural site"; the surface of the site is covered with Han Dynasty cloth pattern tiles, cloud pattern tiles and a large number of Shang and Zhou pottery, which can be divided into modern disturbance layer and Han Dynasty cultural layer And Shang and Zhou culture. The site is rich in cultural relics, including a large number of pottery and stone tools. The shells of mussels, snails and stone arrows, which are more than 20 cm thick, reflect that the creator of this culture was a primitive tribe who made a living by fishing and hunting. The site is more than 10 meters high and about 300 meters long from east to west. It looks like a fortress from afar. According to the records of Wuwei Prefecture compiled during the reign of Emperor Qianlong, the location of the Yangtze River before Qin and Han Dynasties was under Xiang'an city (the site). Because Xiang'an is a high-yield rice producing area and a place where grain is concentrated. In addition, it has convenient waterway transportation and fast transportation. Through the Yong'an River, 300 meters to the south, it joins the West River and directly enters the Yangtze River. It can be seen that the geographical location of "Xiang'an" was very important at that time, and it was a place for military strategists to fight for. After the Qin Dynasty conquered the fortress, it was named "Xiang'an", which means "sweeping (calming) to make it safe". Since then, the name of Xiang'an county was used in the Han Dynasty, and the county government was set on the "baiheguan site". Finally, some historical facts can also infer that "Xiang'an" had set up a county in the Qin Dynasty: Xiang Yu and Liu Bang fought in Xiang'an county during the battle between Chu and Han Dynasties. According to the records of Gaodi Ji in the Han Dynasty: "Xiang Yu tried to attack Xiangcheng, but Xiang had no class." "Xiangcheng" is today's Xiangan, which shows that before the conflict between Chu and Han, Qin had set up a county in Xiangan, and Xiangan county is an important military place. Wang Chong's book Lun Heng Bian Sui of Han Dynasty further proves that Xiang Yu attacked Xiang'an, and Xiang'an was not like that, so he did not necessarily pray for the match This shows that Xiang Yu once attacked Xiangan county. At that time, the Han army was guarding Xiangan county. The war was fierce and cruel. After the Chu army captured Xiangan, there were no living (or surviving) people.

Records of Hanshu

"Xiangan" as the name of the county, the most clear record is in the Hanshu: "Lujiang County, so Huainan, Wennan 16 years do not for the country. There is Dongling Township in the northwest of Jinlan, and huaishui comes out. It belongs to Yangzhou. Lujiang River is southeast of Lingyang. North into the river. One hundred and twenty-four thousand three hundred and eighty-three households, four hundred and fifty-seven thousand three hundred and thirty-three. There are building officials. County 12: Shu, homeland. Mang is called Kunxiang. Juchao, Longshu, Linhu, Yulou, jueshui, north to liaoru Huai, and irrigation, north to liaoru Jue, over county two, travel 510 Li. Xiangan, mang said, "Lujiang Pavilion." (Volume 28 of Hanshu, Volume 8 of geography annals, Volume 8) Yan shigu of Tang Dynasty annotated Hanshu, saying: "Wang Mang usurped the throne and changed the names of counties and counties in Han Dynasty, which is also a common change." That is to say, in the Han Dynasty, Xiangan county was established under the Qin system, and Wang Mang usurped power and changed it into "Lujiang Pavilion". In the fourth year of emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty (203 BC), Wuwei belonged to Huainan state, which was divided into three counties: Juchao, Linhu and Xiangan. Xiangan county is located in Xiangan Town, southwest of Wuwei County. In 193, Wuwei belonged to Lujiang County. The ancient Juchao was divided into two counties: Juchao and Xiangan.

Records of Hou Han Shu

In the book of the later Han Dynasty, it is also recorded that Xiang'an county belongs to one of the 14 counties of Lujiang County: "Emperor Wen of Lujiang County was divided into Huainan county. In the 13th year of Jianwu period, the state of Lu'an was established as a county. Luoyang east is 1700 Li. Fourteen cities, one hundred thousand three hundred ninety-two households, four hundred twenty-four thousand six hundred eighty-three. Shu (Note: square brackets are added by the author) has Tongxiang. The Marquis state. There are nine rivers in the South and great rivers in the East. [Qian] [Lin Hu] Hou state. [long Shu] Hou state. There is iron in Xiangan and Anhui. [Juchao] Hou state. The state of Lu'an. The state of Hou. There are Dabie Mountains in Anfeng. [Yangquan] Hou state. [An Feng] Hou state. " (the 22nd annals of prefectures in the later Han Dynasty)

From the Three Kingdoms to the Republic of China

After that, there were many records in books. During the Three Kingdoms period, it belonged to Xiang'an County, Lujiang County of Wu state. "Yu took raozhu from Yong'an as Xiang'an leader, and Yan Lian from Wuxi as Juchao leader, so that when he recruited Lujiang County and Lujiang County, he had to surrender and attach to each other." In the first year of Taikang (280), there were Juchao, Linhu and Xiangan counties in Lujiang County. "Lujiang County, Han Dynasty.". There are ten counties and four thousand two hundred households. Yangquan Shu homeland, Tongxiang. In the south of Tianzhu Mountain, there is a temple. Wang Xunyang lived here, where Jie died. It's near the lake, Xiangan, and Longshu, so it's six countries. " (Book of Jin · Zhi No.5) and Beishi also have records of Xiangan county. "Chen Zhen, with a long name of Wei, was born in Xiangan, Lujiang. Zushuo is self-sufficient in fishing. Father Xian, less brave, Zhang Dabao for the account. He told Dabao against him and gave him the governor of qiaozhou. The old, the abandoned at home. Gao Zhihui, Wang Wenjin, and Lujiang heroes also responded. We should give priority to the promotion of the old generals. " In the Southern Dynasties and Northern Zhou Dynasty, Xiang'an was called Qi, belonging to Hezhou. "Hefei Liang Yue Ruyin, set Ruyin county. After the Qi Dynasty, it was divided into Beichen county. In the early days of kaihuang, the county was abolished, and the county was renamed Yan. Lujiang County was set up in Qi Dynasty, and Xiangzhou County in Liang Dynasty. There are Yefu mountain, Shangbo mountain, Sangong mountain, Shengshan mountain and Lanjia mountain. Xiangan Liang said Qi, kaihuang changed Yan at the beginning. yes
