Yong Paijun had something to say
Since October 11, Yongpai has published a series of reports on the "Xiaoxizhi Said" that has attracted much attention in the ancient development history of Ningbo city for three consecutive days, interpreting in detail the article "On the "Creek" Problem in the Development of Ningbo's Ancient City" published by Researcher Wang Jiehua, President of the Municipal Institute of Cultural Heritage Management, published in the fourth issue of Southeast Culture in 2021. This paper comprehensively sorts out and interprets the ins and outs, authenticity and falsity of "What Xiaoxizhi said" from three aspects: literature evidence, archaeological findings and geographical environment, and puts forward a strong question about "what Xiaoxizhi said".
After the series of reports was published, it attracted the attention of all parties. Many fans left messages for Yongpai, hoping that Yongpai could publish the paper in full to further understand the author's views. Yongpai obtained the author's authorization and is now publishing the paper in full. The more the truth is argued, the clearer it becomes! It is expected that this will lead to the formation of consensus through discussion to completely solve this "public case" in the history of Ningbo's ancient development.

introduction
To study the evolution and development of ancient cities in Ningbo, one place that must be mentioned is Xiaoxi Town (in the area of Present-day Yinjiang Town, Haishu District, Ningbo City) during the Song Dynasty. According to some chronicles since the Southern Song Dynasty, the area was ruled by Juzhang County during the Long'an period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (397-401) to the fourth year of Wude (621) of the Tang Dynasty, the rule of Yinzhou in the fourth to eighth year of Wude (625), the rule of Yan County in the eighth year of Wude to the twenty-sixth year of the New Century (738), the rule of Yan County from the 26th year of the New Century to the sixth year of the Great Calendar (771), the rule of Ming Prefecture from the sixth year of the Great Calendar to the first year of Changqing (821), and the rule of Yan County from the 6th year of the Great Calendar to the first year of Changqing (821), and the rule of Yan County from the 6th year of the 6th year of the Great Calendar to the 3rd year of the Later Liang Kaiping (909). For more than 500 years, Jurzhang, Yinzhou, Yanxian and Mingzhou were established and ruled here successively or at the same time.
The above statement has been questioned since the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, but it is still unresolved today, and it is still a hot spot and difficulty in studying the development and evolution of Ningbo's ancient cities. This paper intends to make an in-depth discussion on the basis of literature analysis, combined with new archaeological discoveries and new research achievements in recent years, in order to clarify the historical trajectory of Ningbo's ancient urban development and restore the original face of Ningbo's ancient urban evolution.
First, the early literature does not support the "creek" theory
The records of the "small stream" problem in the local chronicle are very complicated, involving the four prefectures of Juzhang, Yinzhou, Yanxian and Mingzhou, and the county government office. Among them, the phrase "creek" appeared earliest and is the main source of the "creek" problem. The earliest surviving Ningbo Fangzhi and written in the Qiandao Five Years (1169) of the Southern Song Dynasty's "Qiandao Siming Tujing" Yun: "Ancient Sentence Zhangcheng, in the county (guide to Yin County in the Song Dynasty, governing the area around sanjiangkou in the present-day Ningbo urban area - author's note) sixty miles south." Because there was a Jurzhang Township in Yin County at that time, and it was also in the "Sixty Miles South of the County", and Xiaoxi Town was located in the territory of Jurzhang Township, Sihou Zhisuiduo believed that Jurzhang had once set up or moved to Yusi, and based on it, it was extended that Yinzhou, Yanxian, and Mingzhou had also set up or moved to rule "Xiaoxi". See Table 1 for details:
According to Table 1, although there are many advocates of "Creek", there is no shortage of doubts. For example, regarding the matter of the relocation of the sentence chapter to rule the "small stream" during the Long'an period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Baoqing Siming Zhi, which is written only slightly later than the "Qiandao Siming Tujing", clearly expresses its opposition: "The old scripture: The ancient sentence Zhangcheng is sixty miles south of Yin County. Southwest of present-day Yin County, there is Jurzhang Township. However, according to the "Book of Han and Geographical Records": Sentence Chapter, the canal water flows east into the sea. Then the so-called Seongsan Ferry is also its canal. Jin Liu Yudong begged Sun En, Shi Shu Sentence Zhang, every battle fell into battle, the thief was returned to Huankou. When Sun En was infested by the sea, the Imperial Family should be charged, and now The Jurchen Township is in the mountains, and it will not be a place to defend. The name of the township is Juzhang, especially in Jurzhang County, Gu'er. As for the fact that Yinzhou was established in the fourth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, Juan County, which was set up in the eighth year of Wude, and Mingzhou, which was set up in the twenty-sixth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, was established to rule the "small stream", because it appeared out of thin air because it was not until the Ming and Qing dynasties respectively, neither the conclusive evidence provided by the author of Fang Zhi through field investigation, nor the earlier historical materials, which is naturally more difficult to convince. Many modern researchers have also put forward different views on this, believing that the term "creek" is debatable.
The reasons for this problem are mainly the following aspects:
First, from the end of the Jin Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the dynasties changed, and the Ming (prefecture) and Yue (prefecture) were separated, and the administrative divisions within the jurisdiction of present-day Ningbo were frequently adjusted, but the people who ruled the office were either not recorded or the language was unknown, so that it was difficult to confirm the author of the later chronicles.
Second, some of the places have been abandoned for a long time and the surface signs have been abandoned, resulting in the fact that the authors of later chronicles may not be able to examine the field or have not done the field research at all.
The third is to mistakenly take the Juzhang Township, where Xiaoxi Town is located during the Song Dynasty, as the seat of the ancient Jujuzhang County, first from the "Qiandao Siming Tujing" to draw the conclusion that "the ancient Sentence Zhangcheng, in the south of the county sixty miles", and then by the famous Southern Song Dynasty scholar Wang Yinglin deduced the conclusion that "the ancient Jujuzhang City is in Xiaoxi Town", and then by other Fang Zhi extended to Yan County, Yinzhou,
Mingzhou also set up or moved to the conclusion of "Creek".
Fourth, it is not accurate to grasp the changes in the name of the "Yinjiang River" and its direction in different periods, and only according to the record of "Mingzhou's northern neighbor Yinjiang" in the "Tang Huijiao" and other historical materials, it is not discriminated to draw the erroneous view that the ming prefecture was first ruled in the present-day yinjiang town. In this regard, the author will explain it in detail below.
Fifth, in the process of copying, some Fang Zhi either followed the clouds, or speculated and appended, or slightly misappropriating, or added errors in the publication, so it is inevitable that there will be errors and even contradictions.
In fact, regarding the location of Juzhang, Yinzhou, Yanxian and the early ming dynasty, the historical materials before the Southern Song Dynasty are not without clues. Here are a few examples:
"Sui Shu And Geography Chronicle": "Sentence Chapter, Pingchen, and Yuyao, Yin, and Juan counties into." ”
"Yuanhe County Map Chronicle": "Wude was established in Yinzhou in (Sentence Chapter) County for four years, and was abolished in eight years. In the twenty-sixth year of the new century, the interview made Qi Shu play the ming prefecture of Yue Prefecture, named after the Siming Mountains in the territory. The ancient city of Jurzhang, in the west of the state. Again, "Juan County, on." Guo Xia... Sui Ping Chen, province into the sentence chapter. Wu De re-established it in the eighth year, and still moved to Jurzhang City, which later belonged to Ming Prefecture. ”
Tongdian :"Mingzhou, present-day Lixian County." ”
Old Book of Tang Geography III: "In the twenty-sixth year of the new century, Ming Prefecture was established in Yuezhou County. ”
"Tang Huijiao": "In March of the first year of Changqing, Xue Rong, an observer of eastern Zhejiang, said: 'Mingzhou is bordered by the Yin River in the north, and the city is humble, please move the prefecture to Juan County, and its old city is close to Nangao County. 'From there. ”
The above description, although brief, provides a lot of useful information:
1. The Sui Dynasty Pingchen (9th year of the Kai Emperor; 589) and the Jurzhang County set up by the three counties of Yuyao, Yin, and Yan are in the same line between the new Yin Prefecture established in the fourth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, the County of Yan county re-established in the eighth year of Wu De, and the Ming Prefecture established in the 26th year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.
2. The Tang Dynasty's Yuan he (806-820) Sentence Chapter Rule, that is, the "Ancient City of Sentence Chapter" mentioned in the "Yuanhe County Atlas", was only in the Ming Prefecture at that time.1 Mile West of the Prefecture. The "Atlas of Yuanhe County" is a highly credible geographical general chronicle written by the famous Tang Dynasty minister Li Jifu, who also served as the governor of Ming Prefecture during the Zhenyuan period (785-805), so these records should be credible.
3. The tang Dynasty Wude eight years of the re-establishment of the county rule, "still moved to the sentence Zhangcheng", it can be seen that at that time, the county rule and the old rule of the sentence chapter were in one place, and the distance between it and the later Ming prefecture rule was also not too far. This is the same as the "Yuanhe County Atlas" "Juan County, on." The records of Guo Xia and the Tongdian "Ming Prefecture, present-day Li Yan County" are also consistent with each other.
4. In the fourth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, "Yin Prefecture was established in (Sentence Chapter) County", but only four years later it was changed to Yan County. Where does Yinzhou come from? The historical data is not clear, and judging from the fact that it has only existed for four years, it may be a direct use of the old rule of The Sentence Chapter, at least not far from the old rule of the Sentence Chapter and the later Administration of YanXian and Mingzhou, otherwise it is contrary to common sense.
5. In the first year of changqing in the Tang Dynasty, Mingzhou and its vassal County were once easy to govern. Since then, the mingzhou administrative office has been fixed in the place of drum towers west of the sanjiangkou in the present-day Ningbo urban area; and since The county is attached to the Mingzhou, its administrative office should be the same city as the prefecture, and it is impossible to divide the two places, let alone move to such a distant place as "Xiaoxi".
Based on the above analysis, as long as we find out the sentence Zhangzhi from the ninth year of the Kai Emperor to the fourth year of Wude, the rule of Yinzhou in the fourth to eighth years of Wude, the rule of Yanxian from the eighth year of Wude to the twenty-sixth year of the new century, and the rule of Mingzhou between the twenty-sixth year of the new century and the fourth year of the new century, we can confirm the location of other administrative offices. Here is the description of the county rule:
Juan , one of the four counties in present-day Ningbo , was merged into the Jurchen Chapter together with Yin County and Yuyao County in the ninth year of the Kai Emperor's reign. Wu De abolished the sentence zhang li Yin Prefecture in four years, and Wu De abolished Yin Prefecture in the eighth year and placed It in Juan County. In the 26th year of the new century, the county was divided into the four counties of Juan, Fenghua, Cixi and Wengshan, and Liming Prefecture. Later Liang Kaiping changed his name to Yin in three years, and Juan County was abolished.
Regarding the rule of Yan County nine years before the founding of the Emperor, Fang Zhi records that it was "west of Ashoka Mountain and east of Mount Yan", although the specific location is unknown so far, but its general location has not been controversial. Regarding the rule of Yan County after the eighth year of Wude, although the later Fang Zhi has different sayings such as "it is ruled in Imashu", "it should still be in Xiaoxi", "Tuzhi Old Yancheng", etc., it is undoubtedly the most credible to say that "it is ruled in Imashu". Scholars have made detailed examinations of this before, and will not be repeated here, among which the "Baolang Temple Record" quoted from the "Baoqing SimingZhi" can be called confirmed: "The county (guide to Yin County in the Song Dynasty - the author's note) has the Baolang Temple in the south, JiYun: The second year of the Tang Dynasty calendar, (鄮) County Ling Liu Hui Ancient Migration Ancestral Hall in the county." It was known that Yin Prefecture had been established at the beginning of the year, and had already ruled this, and the abandoned prefecture was followed by The Prefecture as Anxian County, and it was no longer in the east of The Mountain. "This alone can confirm that the rule of Yan County in that year was in the Southern Song Dynasty, the rule of Yin County and the rule of Mingzhou, that is, the area of Sanjiangkou in the present-day city of Ningbo.
According to the above, whether it is the rule of Juzhangzhi, the rule of Yinzhou, the rule of Yanxian or the rule of Mingzhou, none of the early historical sources mention any connection with the town of Xiaoxi during the Song Dynasty. On the contrary, it can be seen more clearly that the Jurzhangzhi established in the ninth year of the Opening of the Sui Dynasty, the yinzhou rule newly established in the fourth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, the yanxian rule re-established in the eighth year of Wude, and the mingzhou rule set up in the twenty-sixth year of the Kaiyuan dynasty are all in the area of Sanjiangkou in the urban area of Ningbo today.
Second, archaeological findings do not support the "creek" theory
Archaeological discoveries over the years, especially archaeological research carried out specifically on the "creek" problem in recent years, also do not support the idea that "creek" has a city.
(1) Archaeological discoveries in the area around Yinjiang Town
According to some Fang Zhi records, it was historically located in Xiaoxi Town during the Song Dynasty, that is, the prefecture and county government offices around yinjiang town in haishu district of Ningbo City, and the specific locations were mainly in the following four places: the ancient city of Ba, The Noble House, the Hanging Ci Village and the surrounding area of Phoenix Mountain.
From 2011 to 2015, the author presided over four years of archaeological survey, exploration, excavation, aerial remote sensing and geophysical exploration in the yinjiang town area, with a total survey and exploration area of 13.6 million square meters and a (trial) excavation area of 1120 square meters, basically covering the Yinjiang Town Area and its surrounding area (Figure 1). Investigation and exploration show that although there are tombs found in the mountains around Yinjiang Town before the Tang Dynasty, the number is not abundant and the specifications are relatively low. The trial excavation and excavation show that in the noble house, the suspension village plot and the vicinity of Phoenix Mountain, not only is there no sign of the city site found, but even the cultural accumulation of the Song and Yuan dynasties is very rare, and most of the accumulation here is a sand layer formed by alluvial or siltation; in the ancient city plot that is considered the most likely, although comprehensive exploration and excavation have been carried out, the water conservancy relics of the Song and Yuan dynasties and their related relics (Figure 2) have been found, lacking the simple Accumulation of Tang Dynasty and its previous culture. This archaeological result basically excludes the possibility that there were historically built offices at or above the county level.
(2) Archaeological discoveries in the area around the Sanjiangkou
Contrary to the land of "Xiaoxi", the area around sanjiangkou in the present-day ningbo urban area has been found in many pre-Tang Dynasty remains over the years (Figures 3 and 4). Briefly combed as shown in Table 2
These findings show that as far back as the Warring States period, there have been many human habitation activities in the highlands around the present-day Ningbo urban area; from the Two Han Dynasties to the Six Dynasties, the area around the Sanjiangkou has been densely populated, or has formed a certain scale of settlements, especially the excavation of more building components including cloud patterns, human face pattern tiles and other high-specification building components, which strongly shows that there may have been higher-grade buildings here in those years. Combined with the analysis of the previous historical data, we have reason to believe that before the construction of the Mingzhou Zicheng in the first year of Changqing in the Tang Dynasty, the area around Sanjiangkou was already quite prosperous, and the rule of Jurzhang County, which was destroyed by war during the Long'an period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was very likely to be relocated here; and this laid a solid foundation for the successive establishment of the ninth year of the Sui Dynasty's Opening Emperor's Sentence Chapter, Yuyao, Yin, Yanhezhi, Tang Dynasty Wude's four-year Yinzhou rule, Wude's eight-year Yanxian rule, and Kaiyuan's twenty-sixth year Mingzhou rule.
In addition to the above archaeological remains, combing the Song and Yuan Fangzhi can also find that the area around Sanjiangkou before the construction of the Mingzhou Zicheng in the first year of Changqing has long been lined with ancestral temples and temples, which also reflects the prosperity of the place at that time, among which there are the Sangha Pagoda (695-697), Lingying Temple (699), Kaiyuan Temple (738), Kaiyuan Temple (740), Taiping Xingqing Temple (740), Tianqing Temple (743), Pure Filial Piety Temple (777), Wu Thorn History Temple (766-779), Temple of the Most Holy Wenxuan King (814) and so on
9 places. From the perspective of the time of creation, the concentrated emergence of these religious buildings twenty-six years after the beginning of the new century can be described as another strong proof of the early rule of MingZhou.
(3) Evidence of other excavated cultural relics
Unearthed epitaphs can also provide some useful clues to the "creek" problem.
As mentioned above, the evolution of the name "Yinjiang" and its reference in different periods is a major reason for the misconception that later generations fang zhi mistakenly believed that the "creek" of the early Ming Dynasty was ruled. According to the "Tang Huijiao": "In March of the first year of Changqing, Xue Rong, an observer of eastern Zhejiang, said: 'Mingzhou is bordered by the Yin River in the north, and the city is humble, and now please move the prefecture to Yan County, and its old city is near the southern high disposal county. 'From there. There is a similar record in the Taiping Huanyu Chronicle. Because these records explicitly mention that Mingzhou is "adjacent to the Yin River in the north", the later Fang Zhisuiduo believed that Mingzhou was originally ruled here, and only moved to the present-day Gulou land in the urban area of Ningbo until the first year of Changqing.
In fact, the direction of "Yinjiang" in different periods is not exactly the same, whether it is recorded in literature or unearthed inscriptions, this has been clearly indicated. Literature records such as the "Xuanhe Feng envoy Goryeo Tujing": "More than ten steps before the temple, when the Yin River was poor, a mountain majestically emerged from the sea, and there was a small floating tutu on it. According to the old tradition, the sea is known to be a mountain, so it is called the name of ZhaoBao, and since then it has been called the outlet to the sea. "Baoqing Siming Zhi": "Dahuan River, one mile south of the county, is connected with the Yin River." "These two Yinjiang rivers refer to the present-day Yongjiang River. The Qing Dynasty's "Kangxi Chronicle of Ningbo Province" and others also pointed out that the Yin River is also known as the Yong River, which can be proved. And the "Qiandao Siming Tujing": "The Yin River crosses the river pontoon bridge, in the southeast of the county two miles ... Tang Changqing for three years, the thorn history should be built. Three years after Taihe, Li Wenru rebuilt. The bridge was first built at the mouth of the Three Rivers in Dongdumen, and the river was wide and wide, and it was not formed, and it was the place where the bridge was built today. "Here Yinjiang refers to the present-day Fenghua River.
Excavated inscriptions such as the Tang Dynasty Taihe Ninth Year (835) "Tang Dynasty Salt and Iron Transport Makes Jiang Huai Stay After the Inspector Wen Lin Lang Test Taichang Temple Xie Du Wei Xie Jun Epitaph and Preface": "Yin Gong zuo Yin Jiang Shou ... Nai Yue: Yu Cheng's life Yin Jiang... Unexpectedly, Yin Gongxue was in Yinchuan. "The Yin Gong in the inscription is according to the research that Yin Biao, who served as the Assassin of Mingzhou between the third year of Changqing (823) and the first year of the Bao Calendar (825), that is, the Assassin Ying Biao who presided over the construction of the pontoon bridge across the river in the third year of Changqing. It can be seen that in the context of the people of the time, yinjiang was equivalent to Mingzhou, and the rule of Mingzhou after the first year of Changqing had been stabilized in the area of sanjiangkou in the present-day ningbo urban area, and the inscription said that Yin Biao "served as the yinjiang shou ... Inheriting the Yin River", it can be known that the Yin River at that time can also refer to the present-day Three Rivers Estuary System. In addition, in the first year (924) of Wu Yue's National Treasure Year (924), the "Jieduguan Inspector Fu Du Jian Deputy Zhi Chao San Dafu Former Shouhui County Order Attendant Yu Shi Zhi Yu Yu Bag Qiantang County Wei De Tu Donghai County Lady Xu Shi Epitaph and Preface" has "Bao Da Yuan Yuan Jia Shen Xia May 8, finally YinJiangzi City northwest of the private first ... According to the record that on August 18 of his year, Jia Shen was buried in the east of the Yin River, the south corner of the Mountain, and the source of the Mingtang Ao in Lingyan Township (Figure 5), the mingzhou sub-city was in the area of the present-day Sanjiangkou area of Ningbo during the Wuyue Kingdom, so the "Yinjiangzi City" could only be the sub-city of Mingzhou, which showed that the Yinjiang River at that time still had the same usage as Mingzhou.
About 4 kilometers from the present-day Yinjiang Town District, tangjiayan village cemetery in Dongqiao Town, once unearthed a tang dynasty kaicheng first year (836) of the "Tang Dynasty Shou Right Wei Chang Langya WangfuJun (贇) Epitaph and Order", there is a record of "moving to the ruins of the sentence chapter, the side of the ancestral concubine's burial, go to the state city fifty miles", some people think that this is the "iron evidence" that the chapter set up the city on the other side, but it is not. Press: Ruins, as a noun, there are three main meanings: (1) mounds. (2) The Old City; Ruins. By extension, it is a place that was originally inhabited but has been abandoned. (3) Village market. It can be seen from this that the "tomb of The Tomb of The Migration of The Tomb of the Sentence Chapter" in the inscription can be interpreted as both the site of the ancient city of The Tomb of the Ancient City of The Tomb of the Ancient City of the Sentence Chapter, or the tomb of the Tomb of
According to the above, the name of "Yinjiang" and its direction since the Tang and Song dynasties have not been immutable, so it is obviously inappropriate to use only the record of "Mingzhou's northern neighbor Yinjiang" to prove the initial rule of the state, or simply to use today's Yinjiang River to apply the historical Yinjiang River. Comparing the archaeological findings in the area around Yinjiang Town and Sanjiangkou mentioned above, it can also be seen that whether it is the rule of Jurzhang County, the rule of Yinzhou Prefecture, or the rule of Yanxian County, or the early rule of Mingzhou, it should all be in the area of Sanjiangkou in the present-day Ningbo urban area, and there is no direct relationship with the so-called "small stream" of the later Fang Zhi.
Third, the geographical environment does not support the "creek" theory
In addition to historical documents and archaeological findings, we can also start from the geographical environment to briefly interpret whether the "creek" land has a city.
(1) The geographical location is remote and the water and land transportation is inconvenient
Yinjiang Town is located in the southwest edge of the Ningbo Plain Siming Mountain foothills, although the resources are relatively rich, but the geographical location is relatively remote, the economic hinterland is also narrow, whether it is suitable as a regional center to be explored. The Baoqing SimingZhi clearly states: "Jin Liu Yudong begs Sun En, and shishu sentence chapter ... When Sun En was infested by the sea, the Imperial Family should be charged, and now The Jurchen Township is in the mountains, and it will not be a place to defend. The name of the township is Juzhang, especially in Jurzhang County, Gu'er. "The rule of Juzhang County at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was still like this, but it was the rule of Yan County, YinZhou and Ming Prefecture in the Tang Dynasty?!
Both land and water transport is another issue worth paying attention to. According to Google Maps calculations, the straight-line distance between Yinjiang Town and Sanjiangkou is about 23 kilometers, which is certainly not far for today, but it is a distance that cannot be ignored in the era when the level of productivity is not developed enough, the land road is difficult and tortuous, and the Yinnan Tang River has not yet been dug. If this is the case, is it necessary for the two places to frequently exchange prefectures and county seats, or to implement the "separation of cities and ports" as stated in the "History of the Port of Ningbo" and the "General History of Ningbo"?! Can it be affordable?!
(2) The terrain is humble and wet and prone to flood disasters
The terrain around Yinjiang Town is humble and wet, and there have always been frequent floods. "SimingTa Mountain Water Conservancy Preparation": "The water of its mountains... Will be in the big stream, as for it mountain. The stream leads to the great river, the tide goes up and down, the stream of clear sweetness, the water that drains out of the sea, the water that pours brine, rushes into the stream. When you come, the ditches are full, and when you go, the rivers and ports are dry, the fields cannot be harvested, and the people are thirsty for drinking. ”
The "Yinxian Water Conservancy Chronicle" also records that there are four high-value areas in yinxian county, of which the eastward flow of two high-value areas (the upper mountain area of Zhangshui and the northwestern mountainous area) is mostly concentrated in the area of Yinjiang Town, and the threat of flooding is not difficult to imagine. It can be seen that before the creation of the Yashan Weir in the seventh year of the Tang Dynasty (833), it was obviously inappropriate to build a city here.
Even after the completion of the weir, the flood disaster here has not been completely eliminated, and the construction of water conservancy projects has been implemented for generations. It is precisely because of unremitting governance that it has finally achieved its important position as a gateway to and from the Siming Mountains, and some Fang Zhi believe that there is a city here, or it is also related to the prosperity of this place.
According to the above, whether from the perspective of geographical location, water and land transportation, or from the perspective of terrain and terrain, flood disasters, etc., the land of "small streams" is not suitable for building cities.
epilogue
Based on the foregoing, we can draw the following conclusions:
1. During the Song Dynasty, Xiaoxi Town, which is now the area of Yinjiang Town in Haishu District, Ningbo City, has never set up any administrative offices above the county level in history. The emergence of the "creek" problem is entirely the result of speculation by later generations and the transmission of false copies and rumors in successive generations.
Second, the Jurchen rule that was migrated in the last year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Yinzhou rule established by WuDe in the Tang Dynasty in the fourth year, the Yanxian rule established by WuDe in the eighth year, and the Mingzhou rule established in the 26th year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty are all in the area of Sanjiangkou in the urban area of Ningbo today, and have nothing to do with the land of "Xiaoxi".
Iii. The continuous development of the Sanjiangkou area since the Warring States period, especially after the Han and Jin Dynasties, as well as the successive establishment or relocation of Juzhang, Yinzhou, and Yanxian counties, laid a solid foundation for the establishment of Mingzhou here in the 26th year of the Tang Dynasty. The establishment of Mingzhou laid the basic framework for the later development of Ningbo city.
