Historical evolution of Wujiang River
Wujiang River, known as Qujiang from pre-Qin to Tang Dynasty (Guizhou is an ancient country in pre-Qin period), is also known as Neijiang, Fuling and Yanshui rivers. Guizhou Middle Road was established in the Tang Dynasty, so it was also called Qianjiang in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
It was called Wuchuan in ancient times along the river (in the 19th year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (599), it was called Wuchuan County to comfort Zhejiang and Liao Dynasties. It was located on the east bank of Yanhe County today, and moved to Du Fu in the late Southern Song Dynasty. Wuchuan County ruled along the river in 5 19). "Yuanhe County Records" in the Tang Dynasty contains: Neijiang, a Fuling River (Wujiang River), 40 steps west of the county seat (now east of Tianba River), named Wuchuan County because of Sichuan. It can be seen that Wujiang River was called Wuchuan in the Tang Dynasty.
The Yuan Dynasty was first called Wujiang River. When the Mongols went south, they recorded the names of various places in Mongolian and then transliterated them into Chinese characters, which led to many fallacies, such as a river in Hebei, which was recorded as four songs (because the local Bashu language had nasal vowels falling off). Wujiang was also named at this time.
