The history before Pingdingshan can only be traced back to the Six Dynasties. At that time, a city sculpture was being built locally. Because of coal production, it was originally intended to build a sun city sign. Hao Ziran, an expert in ancient Chinese characters, said that there is no characteristic. Any place where coal is produced can be called Sun City. He suggested changing it to Eagle City. The word eagle existed in Shang Dynasty. Later, the city was nicknamed Eagle City.
Eagle City is the abbreviation or common name of Pingdingshan in Henan Province. Pingdingshan was called Yingguo in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Yingguo took the eagle as its totem. In classical Chinese, "eagle" and "eagle" are allowed to leave, so Pingdingshan is also called Eagle City.
