There is an old saying: "A bad name is not a good word." Harbin, a northern metropolis with a history of one hundred years, is known as Little Paris in the East and the pearl under the swan. Its population, building area, total industrial output value and retail price of social goods are all listed as one of the top ten cities in China. However, the origin of the city name is still being explored. The following is an introduction to the origin of Harbin's name.

Statement 1: Alekin said that this is the most common statement, which is now generally recognized.

Published by Jiangsu Bookstore for the first time 1874 "History of Jin Dynasty": "The army returned, in Alekin (Aijian). "Harbin Examination" holds that "the name of Jurchen village has the meanings of reputation, honor, prestige, reputation and so on. If you go to Central Street now, you will find a small shop called Alekin Village, which is named after it.

Statement 2: China's theory of "water town". The word "Harbin" appeared as early as 1796 years ago, and Alekin's statement was wrong. Li Zhengshun wrote: "Before the Qing Taizu Aixinjue Luo Nurhachi ascended the throne, he was the cook of a leader of the Manchu Jurchen tribe. Because he is smart and capable, he is highly valued by the leaders. In the 26th year of Wanli (1598), Nurhachi went to Beijing to pay tribute as the leader's plenipotentiary envoy, and arrived at Sun Island today after a few days' departure from Yilan. Nurhachi asked his men where this place was. A lieutenant named Hay replied, "Net threshing ground". Nurhachi laughed after listening: "Such a good place should have a good name. Let's give this fast place a good name! "So everyone is talking. A Han Chinese document said, "I think it's Harbin! "Nurhachi Zheng" Harbin? You are proficient in Khan's articles. Tell me what you started with. "The clerk said," Today, we were led by General Hai to cross the river here, so the word "ha" was removed from General Hai's surname. This place (referring to Sun Island) is shaped like earrings worn by women. Remove the word "ear". The last word is Haibin village. Together, it is Harbin. Nurhachi raised his glass after hearing this. From now on, this place is called Harbin! Come on! Finish the wine in the glass! "

Statement 3: Hirashima said. This statement is the conclusion of Ji Fenghui, an associate researcher of Heilongjiang Provincial Archives, after decades of research, and it is also the latest statement. When Mr. Ji inspected the Heilongjiang General's yamen on 1864, there was such a Manchu record: "According to the quota of deputy heads, on the way back from Wula, Jilin, he was stationed in Harbin and returned to Morgan City on August 25th this year." From this perspective, the word "Harbin" is Manchu.

"Flat Island" is pronounced as "Harbin Tun" in Manchu, which is a transliteration of the word "Harbin Tun" in Chinese. Later, the word "Tun" was omitted and renamed "Harbin".

These are the names of Harbin. Personally, I think the third one is well founded. If you are interested, we can discuss the history of Harbin together!
