1189: Chongqing Was Named, Shanhe Changed Its Surname

"1189: Chongqing is named, Shanhe changes its surname" AD 1189, the sixteenth year of Chunxi in the Southern Song Dynasty. One river, the Yangtze River, rushes into the turbid waves, and the other river, the Jialing River, surges into the clear waves. The place where the two rivers meet is still called Gongzhou. Prince Gong Zhao Dun, who lurked in the vassal state here, received the Zen throne of Xiaozong and ascended to the throne in the 95th year. An imperial edict came thousands of miles west from Lin'an, and Gongzhou was upgraded to Chongqing Prefecture. A city name that has been passed down for more than 800 years was written in the history books. This is not a fluttering lucky number written by an emperor, but a mark of the times passing through the mountains and rivers. There are turbulent undercurrents in the Lin'an court, and the internal affairs of the royal family are turbulent; there are endless boat calls on the beaches of the Sichuan River, and fireworks and suffering coexist in the streets of Bayu. Various characters including royal officials, local gentry, merchants and boatmen, trackers and ordinary people were involved in the whirlpool of history. The book has six volumes and a million words. From the dormant dragon of the Southern Song Dynasty, through the bloody battles of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the wars of the Ming Dynasty, the bustling docks of the Qing Dynasty, through the wars of modern times, to the rise of contemporary new cities. In the name of a city, the ups and downs of generations are written. The mountains and rivers have not changed their direction, but the earth has changed its name. The word Chongqing engraved the fate of a city that spans thousands of years. No time travel, no golden fingers, based on official history, depicting the epic story of all living beings in Bayu land that has experienced thousands of years of ups and downs.
