In Ba County, every old Chongqing person is certainly not unfamiliar with these two words, and the words are still in their ears. Ba County, an old place name that has disappeared in the long river of history, is also blurring and disappearing in our memory...
In the third year of the Northern Zhou Dynasty (561 AD), it was originally called Ba County, and although the county has been changed and split many times since then, this place name has been used for more than 1,400 years, which is rare in Chinese history. It is very regrettable that the old place name of Ba County disappeared more than twenty years ago, and only one corner of the former vast county has been split several times, that is, the Banan District of today's Chongqing City.
We must first sort out the historical context: the predecessor of today's Banan District is Ba County, the origin of Ba County is Ba Di (Guo), and the main clan of Ba Di (Guo) is the Ba people. So, Chinese characters are so vast, why are they called "Ba" alone? At present, there are two mainstream views in the academic circles, one is that the Ba people in the pre-Qin period lived in the southern humid area, the snake this disgusting and vicious behavior of the species often poses a great threat to its survival, the ancients have a common disease, everything that I do not understand I worship you, everything that makes me afraid I also worship you, so the late Ba people gradually take the snake as the main totem, and use the snake as the family name in the hope of getting its protection and divine power, the ba character is the earliest is the hieroglyph of the snake. Another theory is that the Ba state founded by the Ba people was set in Chongqing at its peak, and the Ba people were mainly active in the lower reaches of the Jialing River north of Chongqing, and the shape of the Jialing River in this area was just like the "Ba" character, so the ancestors of the clans active here were called Ba people. Ba people - Ba di (country) - Ba county, the historical context is gradually clear.
To the Northern Zhou Wucheng three years, so the original place for the Ba people Ba guo originally called Ba County, in the later 1,400 years of time In the future more than 1,400 years of time, the name of Ba County has endured for a long time, but it has also been fateful, it has been split many times, the government station has been displaced, and it was only settled in Yudong after the founding of the country. There are two times with the greatest influence in history: the first was in the nineteenth year of the Qianlong Dynasty, the implementation of the "Jiangba Partition", the Jiangbei Department was separated from Ba County, and since then Ba County has lost jurisdiction over a large area of wealth north of the Yangtze River in Chongqing: The second time is the nineteenth year of the Republic of China, Chongqing was established as a city, the Yuzhong Peninsula area (that is, today's Yuzhong District) was carved out of Ba County, and the Ba County Government moved out of Chongqing City, and since then Ba County has lost its most core jurisdiction. Since the establishment of the city, Chongqing's urban area has been continuously expanded and developed, and jiulongpo District, Dadukou District, Shapingba District, Nan'an District, etc. have been set up in the areas demarcated from Ba County, and the Ba County Government has subsequently moved to Nanchengping (now Nanping), Renhechang (now Huayan Town), Mawangping (now Lijiatuo), Nanquan, until finally settled in Yudong in 1954.
Today, the place name of Ba County has disappeared after more than 1,400 years of standing, and the Ba County government only exercises jurisdiction over some remote areas south of the Yangtze River, so it can only be called Banan District...
