In 222 BC, that is, in the twenty-fifth year of Ying Zheng, Wang Jian, the king of Qin, led the troops to pacify the Jiangnan area under the jurisdiction of Chu, surrendered the monarch of Baiyue, took Wu and Yuedi as Huiji County, and set up a county to govern Wu, which is now Suzhou, Jiangsu; At present, there are three counties in Ningbo: Yinzhou, Zhixian and Hexian. As a result, Yinxian, as a county-level administrative system, officially began to step onto the historical stage. From then on, until 8-23 AD, Wang Mang of the Eastern Han Dynasty "changed Yin to sincerity theory and called it the sea" (geography of the Han Dynasty), which lasted about 15 years. Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty opened the emperor for nine years? Point 589? When it snowed, "Chen Ping and other counties of Yao, Yin and Zhi entered the chapter" (Geography of Sui Shu), and by the end of Sui Dynasty, it successively belonged to Wu Zhou, Yuezhou and Huiji counties, accounting for about 3 1 year. From the fourth year of Tang Wude to the seventh year of Tang Wude, the analysis shows that Zhang Xi 'an County is located in Yinzhou. By the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was called Jixian County, which was subordinate to Yuezhou and Mingzhou successively, accounting for about 283 years. Since Kaiping in the Five Dynasties for three years, Maoxian County has been changed to Yinxian County, and it has not changed. 19581February to 196 1 year1February, the organizational system of Yinxian county was revoked and it returned to Ningbo for 3 years. After that, the organizational system of Yinxian County was restored until the establishment of Yinzhou District in 2002. It can be seen that the time when Yin was not named after Yin was only about 332 years. When Ying Zheng, King of Qin, established Yinxian County, it generally included Fenghua, Ninghai and Xiangshan counties and the south of Yinxian County. Now Baidu in Fenghua is the county magistrate. Therefore, Song compiled "Four" saying: "Fenghua is in Yinxian County and Huiji County. There is Yin Cheng in Dongbaidu of this county, Guangfu Courtyard at the foot of the mountain, and Old Yunyin Courtyard, namely Gu Yin County. " The geographical scope of Yinxian has been adjusted and changed from time to time, but the basic area is stable in Ningbo today. To sum up, up to now, the history of establishing a county in Yin County is as long as 2230 years, and the age of famous counties (states) named after Yin is about 1898. Therefore, Yinxian is one of the oldest counties in China. As a unique symbol of regional culture, the word "Yin" is the "root" and "line" of economic and social development and cultural inheritance, and it is a sign of mutual recognition and recognition for more than 2,000 years. The word "sound" is ancient and unique, which often causes confusion and mistakes in pronunciation and recognition among foreigners. It is usually mistaken for "yin" and "diligence", which of course brings some cognitive confusion to the external image of Yinzhou. Therefore, when the county was zoned five years ago, some people also proposed to take this opportunity to change Yinxian into Mingzhou District, Siming District and even Dongqian Lake District for easy identification. However, the leaders in charge of Yinxian pushed around the crowd and reached a consensus that without the word "Yinzhou", it would be more difficult for future generations to understand the rich and splendid history and culture, so they decided to choose "Yinzhou" as their choice. ■ There are different opinions about the name. Humans always like to explore the past of raising their hometown. Because of this, there are many attempts to explain the origin of the name of "Yin" county from ancient times to the present. Since the Song Dynasty, there have been many exegesis in the local chronicles of Siming (Yinxian), which have been studied by famous scholars in Yin Ji. In the Republic of China, Nine Records of Records of Records of Yinxian County were compiled, which collected all kinds of Yin interpretation theories in previous dynasties. Sha Menghai, a famous calligrapher of the Shang Dynasty, also wrote Yin Zi Shuo in 1950s. For details, please refer to the old local chronicles and the new county chronicles, so I won't go into details. The summary is as follows: 1. The theory of "Hongshan". The Eastern Han Dynasty's "Wu Yue Chun Qiu" records: "There are pansy mountains in the county, so Jiayi is Yin". There have always been two opinions about the Jinchi here: Mr. Sha Menghai thinks it refers to the Jinchi in the former Jinchi Township of Tangxi Town, Yinxian County, commonly known as Yinshan; The Collection of Fengyi Culture compiled by modern people also mentioned the Red Purple Mountain which governs Baidu in Gu Yin County. Above or simply referred to as "Jinshan". The second is the theory of "red corydalis". Gu Zuyu, a historian of the Qing Dynasty, wrote in Yu Fang Minutes of Reading History: "There is a country of violets in summer, named after Honglian Mountain. Violet, the name of grass, Chiayi is yin. " The word "violet" used as a grass name has long been simplified. Viola Viola is now called Viola Viola, commonly known as Viola. The third is "Wang Yin". According to Selected Poems of Danshan in Siming Cave compiled by Zeng Jian in Yuan Dynasty, Qin Shihuang sent Wang Yin to Yongdong to exorcise ghosts and move mountains to block the sea, so the county was named after Wang Yin. This theory originated in Song Dynasty and was popular in Yuan Dynasty. The first one, the most important of the above statements, was held during the Tongzhi period of Yinxian County in the Republic of China. We have noticed that due to the lack of historical analysis methods, ancient Vietnamese literature and research, and the lack of research on the word "Yin" from phonology, exegetics, etymology, nomenclature and other disciplines, the original meaning of the word "Yin" is biased and the explanation of the name of the word "Yin" is far-fetched. Records of Yinxian published by Zhonghua Book Company 1996, in the first part of "administrative divisions" and the second part of "county names", put forward the view that "the original meaning of Yin and Yuedi place names is not tested" in a unique way, but so far no scholars have further explained this, so that the theory that "Hongshan" is named after Yinxian has been popular for a long time and has been misinformed. According to the survey, the earliest literature about the word "Yin" is the history book Guoyu Yuyue Merchants around the Spring and Autumn Period, which has a history of nearly 2,500 years. It has "the land of sentence construction, whether there is a sentence in the south (now Zhuji area), Yu 'er in the north (now Jiaxing area), Yin in the east and Taihu Lake area in the west. "The land of' Dongyin' belongs to Guyue in the Spring and Autumn Period and is in the east of Huiji." "Yin", as a place name with a combination of sound and shape, came into being before the county name "Yin", so the original meaning and initial extended meaning of the word "Yin" should have occurred and been deduced in the Central Plains. In Xu Shen's Shuo Wen Jie Zi, Tu Bu said "purple, earth, earth, and yellow province". Duan Yucai's Note: "From yellow, loess is sticky. Got it. The pansy part of Shuo Wen Jie Zi says: "Violet, earth. "So, the loess is purple, this is the original meaning, Xu Shen's training is mud, this is the extended meaning. Sha Menghai once quoted this viewpoint in Yin Zi Shuo, which is undoubtedly very appropriate and accurate. Therefore, the original meaning of the word "violet" can be literally translated as "yellow land"; The word "yin" is "purple+city", which can be interpreted as "yellow land where people live together". As for the word "purple" as the original meaning of the name of Guyin County, it is worth considering. Corydalis has many pronunciations and explanations. Nouns are interpreted as "earth", "stone" and "cheng" except that loess is the name of grass, vegetable and color. In Kangxi Dictionary, Chinese Dictionary and other language tools, "violet" and "yin" are completely different. The city department of Shuo Wen Jie Zi said: "Yin in Huiji County is the voice of violet", and Duan Yucai noted: "Yin, whose word was originally violet, was later Jiayi. "The paragraph notes only show that the pictophonetic word" Yin "was created by the Central Plains people at that time and later evolved from the knowing word" Zi "to name Yin. But can "purple" be equated with the county name "Yin"? Can Yin Di, Yinshan and Yinshui be directly written as Violet Land, Violet Mountain and Violet Water? The word "Yin" originally meant "yellow land where people live together". Is it the origin of the name of Yin County? In fact, it was later named Yin Di and used as the county name. This is just as Chen Qiaoyi, a professor at Zhejiang University, said in the preface of "Interesting Talk about Xiaoshan Dialect" (Local Records Publishing House, 2004 edition): "The Guyue people are a tribe with only language but no writing. All the ancient Vietnamese words left now have been translated into Chinese. "Of course, we must quote this Chinese translation. When the Guyue people were there, there was no Chinese statement about the Chinese nation. Indeed, Yin Di area was regarded as a distant "barbarian" and "barbarian" by the civilization at that time, just like primitive humans or some ethnic minorities without their own characters. " "Sound" is only the phonological cognition of the ancient Yue people to their place of residence. Because there is no written record to verify, it is difficult to understand its original intention now. At that time, the literate people in the Central Plains recorded with the existing "sound", so it was a phonetic symbol. Otherwise, at that time, the history of civilization in Yin Di has been synchronized with the Central Plains, and the cultural exchange between Yin Di and the Central Plains has been written and barrier-free. Isn't that ridiculous? Chen Qiaoyi added: "It is precisely because Vietnamese was translated into Chinese that Han people who later entered this area often looked for literary meaning and explained Vietnamese with Chinese meaning. For example, the legend of the Han people was released with Yao and Shangyu with Shun. "Later generations are constrained by knowledge and homesickness, as well as folk factors, and often interpret the transliteration words in ancient Vietnamese with the meaning of' Han'. In this way, there will be various localized self-justification. Mr. Sha Menghai's "Yin Zi Shuo" spared no effort to prove that the name of Yin County originated from his hometown "Red Purple Mountain" and belongs to this category. In Yue Jue Shu compiled by Yuan Kang in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xue Zhu said that he was the sword of Yue Wang. There are "Red Violet Mountain erupts, and if the wild stream dries up copper", there are also red violet tin mentioned in Warring States Policy and Wu Yue Chun Qiu, which have certain influence on the ancient history and culture of Shaoxing County and China, but it is definitely not the reason why Yin County got its name. However, apart from the local chronicles of Yinxian County in the Song Dynasty, several places in Jinchi Mountain in Gu Yin County (including Fenghua now) were not mentioned in the important historical documents of China before the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there was no evidence. How did the dynasties far away in the Central Plains know about them and name them after them? In addition, red-violet is grass, because grass lives on the mountain, and because the mountain lives in the county, I'm afraid it's just a question of looking forward to life. The Vietnamese word "Han" has been translated into many vivid fairy tales created by later generations, providing imaginative materials. The theory of "Wang Yin" named after Yin County is also an example. Poems of Danshan Mountain in Siming Cave, which was written by Taoist priests after the Song Dynasty, has been a public opinion. Ming people have the saying that "summer is the country of violets". Qian Daxin thought, "It's not true, it's a painter." The vivid myths, stories and legends translated from the Vietnamese word "Han" made the busybodies of past dynasties do their bidding, created various place names, temples and so-called impressions, and inspired the poetry of many literati, thus creating many influential historical documents and literary works, such as Wang Shun Temple and Wang in Shaoxing County. Nevertheless, the above-mentioned material and intangible cultural heritages are ancient people, ancient events, historical sites and ancient books, which have been circulated for a long time and have certain influence. They have been deeply integrated into the long river of local economy, society and history and culture since ancient times, so they have certain value in history, geography, toponymy, sociology, folklore and even literature. Li Ciming, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, also said in the Diary of Yue Maotang (July 13th, the eighth year of Tongzhi): "Yao, Ji, Yu and Shu are just famous counties in dialects, and their meanings are meaningless. Please explain them in detail. "Yinming County is not like this, so the interpretation of Yin County Records in 1996 edition is obviously correct, that is, it is a transliteration of ancient Vietnamese place names and has become a proprietary county name. As a county name, the word "Yin" should be clearly expressed as: "Yin, the transliteration of ancient Vietnamese place names, the original meaning is not tested."
