What is the historical origin of Wuzhen?
The ancient names of Wuzhen are Wu Dun and Wushu. Wu Dun's "dock", Wang Yuzhou said in "On Hill" that "Wuzhen was Wu Dun in ancient times, which was higher than No.4 Mine because of its vein grave ...", which was clearly explained. But why is it called "Wu"? There are many kinds of sayings. One said, "The King of Yue fought for the long sea bag here, so it became Wu, so it was called"; Say "it's the famous land god General Wu"; Speaking of "Wuutuo monument, there is a clear lock in the green", so it has the name of Wuqing.

Wuzhen is a river alluvial plain with a lot of swamp silt, so its veins are higher than those of No.4 Mine, and its color is deep and fat, so it is named Wu Dun. In fact, such place names are not uncommon in the local area. 9 kilometers away from Wuzhen, there is a village called Hongdun. Its town motto says, "Hongdun is in the west of the town, and the ground is full of graves. The village is named after this. " There is also a village called Zidun next to it, because it is purple stone soil. The names of Hongdun and Zidun provide realistic basis for the vivid description of Wu Dun's name.
