The origin of drinking horse mouth in Xinxiang
There is a historical story about the origin of the name Yinmakou.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Jin Wushu led the troops to invade the Central Plains, and 300,000 Jin Bing rampaged all the way to Xinxiang. Without strong opposition from Song Jun, they settled down in Xinxiang. The next step is to cross the Yellow River and take the capital of song dynasty.

Yue Fei was very angry when he heard that Jin Wushu was going to cross the Yellow River and directly win Bianjing. He led Yue Jiajun to cross the Yellow River first and went straight to Xinxiang. Under the eyes of the nomads from the Yellow River, he set up the 18 camp, which, like an iron wall, formed a powerful defense line and prevented the nomads from crossing the Yellow River south.

After thirteen years of anti-Japanese war, Yue Fei defeated Jin Bing in Xinxiang. Yue Fei did a lot of good things for Xinxiang people in 13, and the people supported and thanked Yue Fei. Until the King of Song ordered Yue Fei to move to Wuchang, Yue Fei's general Wang Gui was still stationed here. The so-called drinking horse mouth is the place where Yue Jiajun usually releases his horse and drinks water. After Yue Fei was killed, Xinxiang people built Yue Fei Temple in Gaogang, southwest of Song Wangzhuang. The full name of this temple is "Song Zhongwu Wangmu Temple" (this temple is one of the three earliest Yuefei temples in China). His original website is long gone.

Yinmakou, a long time ago, there were two small villages. The one in the west is called Song Wangzhuang, and the one in the east is called Xiaozhaozhuang. The houses in the two villages are next to each other and the streets are connected, which looks like a village from a distance.

There is a north-south avenue in the west of Songwangzhuang, connecting the Yellow River in Nantong and reaching Weihui and Huixian in the north. On one side of the avenue is Fiona Fang's 100-acre tinker, and Zhuangbei is near Weihe River. This section of the river flows gently, the river is wide and the banks are shaded by trees. Pedestrians traveling from south to north can rest here, drink horses and wash their faces. Over time, people came and went, making a big gap in the river bank and stepping on several flat and peaceful paths in the river slope.

One summer, Yue Fei led Yue Jiajun to fight against the nomads from here, which coincided with the dog days. Yue Fei saw that the soldiers were too hot to stand, and a horse seemed to have been fished out of the water, so he ordered to camp in the tinker on the west side of the avenue.

The soldiers settled down in the camp, all dizzy with thirst, and the horse shook its head with thirst.

At this time, the villagers of Song Wangzhuang and Xiaozhaozhuang brought water, and the soldiers of Yue Jiajun thanked everyone and took up the big bowl in one breath, which was half a bowl.

Stable boy Zhang Bao of Yue Fei took the water bowl and drank bowl after bowl. Suddenly, he remembered that Marshal Yue's green mane white horse had not drunk water. Looking back, the horse was gone. I saw several people leading horses to the north, and it was Marshal Yue who walked in front. A man holding five or six horses. Zhang Bao chased and said, "Marshal, I'm going to drink horses." The villagers who helped to drink the horse heard that the man leading the horse was Marshal Yue, and immediately surrounded Marshal Yue Fei. Yue Fei said: "Everyone is as hot and sleepy. Let's drink horses together. " Zhang Bao had to follow Marshal Yue and the villagers to the river.

Everyone came to the bank of Weihe River talking and laughing. As soon as the horse saw the water, it began to drink. Yue Fei stood on the levee and looked around carefully, praising it as a good place to drink horses.

After a few days, Yue Fei often came here with soldiers to drink horses and enjoy the cool. On the way, Yue Fei's footprints were left by the river ... This has become a place that Xiaozhaozhuang and Songwangzhuang villagers love and are proud of. Many years later, as soon as the old people in the two villages got together, they merged the two villages into one village and named it "Drinking Horse Mouth" to commemorate Yue Fei, a national hero who once drank horses here.
