The origin of history

According to historical records, there is such a popular historical record: "Huangqu bridge is a bridge on Huinong canal, because it is located in the throat of the North-South thoroughfare, and it is the only way for past merchants. According to "Pingluo Ji Lue" records: "Tongrun bridge to the city (Pingluo County) east 35 Li, commonly known as Huangqu bridge." At that time, Xu baozi, magistrate of Pingluo County, strolled on Tongrun bridge in his spare time. He once wrote a poem entitled "walking on Tongrun bridge": the public leisure wins the seclusion, and the canal flows across the earth beam. White birds fly in paddy fields and green poplar stands in wild temples. The sound of the small town is scattered, and the empty street is cool at night. Xiaoran dust outside the meaning, a song in the waves. So why is Tongrun bridge commonly known as Huangqu bridge? We have to talk about the origin of Huangqu first. Because Huinong canal was built by Emperor Yongzheng. When the canal was opened to discharge water, people called Huinong canal "Huangqu" to express their gratitude for the greatness of huangen. The Yellow River flows through the Loess Plateau. The river carries a large amount of sediment and rushes down. The color of the water is muddy and yellow. The water of Huangqu is no exception. Therefore, people write Huangqu as "Huangqu". Huangqu bridge was named Huangqu bridge because it was built on Huangqu. Over time, Tongrun bridge was replaced by Huangqu bridge, so that people do not know whether there was a Tongrun bridge in history or where it is. It can be seen that Huangqu bridge was named after the bridge.
