Author: Li Zhangyu of Yiyang Zhi County
Yiyang has been called Yichuan since ancient times, and is divided into Xincheng and Luhun. In descendants, there will be the names of Yique and Yiyang.
Historical History: During the Eastern Wei Dynasty, a new city was built, belonging to Yichuan County. The Sui Dynasty followed suit, set up Yizhou, and changed it to Ruzhou; And Yique County began to be established. During the Tang Dynasty, Yiyang County was separated from Luhun County. In the fifth dynasty, Luhun County was abolished. However, Yique County inherited Xincheng County and Yiyang County inherited Luhun County. Very clear. In the early years of the Song Dynasty, Yique County and Yiyang County were established together. During the Song Xining Dynasty, Yique County was abolished as a town, and the name Yiyang County remained alone. The successors are Shunzhou and Songzhou, and they are Heyique County and Yiyang County. Today's Yiyang County is divided by merger again. I don't know that Yique's place is Yiyang? Or did Yiyang break away from Song County and restore its old name? Some people say that today's Yiyang County is the past Yique County, and the past Yiyang County is today's Song County. How do you know? He said: Speculate on it by name, examine it by region, examine it by ruins, and you can know it. Most rivers are shaded in the south and yang in the north. Today's Yishui passes through the towns of Jiahe and Tumen in the northwest of the county, only five or six miles.
Unlike Song County, most of the area is passed by the Yi River, and the territory is north of the Yi River. Therefore, the old name of Song County is Yiyang. Originally, because this place was separated from Song County, it followed its old name, and I did not ask for much explanation. The old county town of Song County, seventy miles west of the county seat. Predecessors believed that it was Yiyang County in the Tang and Song Dynasties. There are still ruins in the ancient city of Yique County, which is not far from the Baiyuan in the county. At that time, it was clear that Yique County was in the east and Yiyang County was in the west, and why was it suspected today? Investigate the current county seat, which was called Guxian Town in the Yuan Dynasty, and was called Guxian Bao in the early Ming Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty's "Epitaph of Weifujun" says: "Burial in Huaiji Village, Ziluo Mountain, southwest of Ruzhou." At that time, it was after the Sui Dynasty changed Yizhou to Ruzhou. Referring to the Yuan Dynasty, the former county town was Huaijibao. If it is in line with the meaning of the imperial court certificate, during the opening of the Sui Dynasty, Yique County was set up here. In the Song Dynasty, it was abolished as a town, so it has the name of the former county town according to it, which is not yet known. In this case, Yiyang County was abolished during the Yuan Dynasty to the Zheng Dynasty, and it should not be hastily named as an old county town.
The "History of Ming" specially commented: "Taking the former county of Yique in Ruzhou as a clear proof of one of the words 'old county'." "The author is not unfounded, the speaker believes that Yique is the dragon gate. Today in Luoyang, not the border of Yiyang County. However, the division of territory is different from the past to the present, how do you know that it was not part of the former county at that time? For example, Da'an was formerly Shenyin Township of Song County, the place name in the hot spring belonged to Yiyang County, the spoon Yang was the hometown of Shentu, and Zaolinping was a relic of Kyushu. After the establishment of the county, the locals still had dialectical arguments. How can we stick to the track of the past according to the current topography and topography? However, as can be seen in the end of the evolution, it has been said: the Zhou Dynasty was called Yichuan; After the Qin and Han dynasties, it was called Xincheng; During the Eastern Wei Dynasty, it was Northern Jing Commandery; During the Sui Dynasty, it was Yizhou and Ruzhou, and the county was Yique; The Tang Dynasty remained Yique County; During the Song Dynasty, it was Yiyang County and abolished the county; After the Jin Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty, it was a town, and the land belonged to Songzhou; The county established in the Ming Dynasty is also called Yiyang, but it is the old county name of Luhun, which is different from the county established during the Tang Dynasty. That is, during the Jindai Taihe period, the place was still a town. If so, then the rest can be omitted from the deletion presumably. If you say that it is saved, it is also possible to use it for reference and division. How dare I exclude the doubtful opinions of others based on assumptions?
