[Edit paragraph] Yangliuqing place name from
Yangliuqing about the origin of the town name said a lot, but roughly no more than three kinds:
Yangliuqing town map is said to be "willow said". That is, the Song dynasty Jingde to Yuanfeng years (1004-1085 years), the Yellow River breaks northward, in the town north of the formation of "triangular precipitation" (East Precipice), the territory of the river and lakes again back to the east, named "flow of the mouth". Song soldiers along the river boundary (now the Daqing River) to establish "River Lok defense line", planted all over the willows, here for the eastern end, because of the dense willow, also known as "Liukou". After the vicissitudes of change, the history of Zen Yan, gradually renamed "Yangliuqing".
Second, "celebrities stay said". That is, the Yuan Dynasty to three years (1343), the literati Mad Xi Shi traveled to this, see all over the willow green, gurgling water, the scene is like Suzhou and Hangzhou, because of the poems "Yang Liuqing ballad" a. One of them is "Yang Liuqing". Which has "willow green river yellow, river reed hedge on both sides of the long" line, so named "Yang Liuqing".
Third, the "imperial gift said". That is, the Qing Emperor Qianlong Jiangnan, along the canal (South Canal) line to this place, see the two sides of the willow flourished, graceful, and then asked the accompanying Minister Liu Yong why, Liu Yong casually answered "Yang Liuqing", Qianlong also nodded and said: "Yang Liuqing!" Accompanied by the local officials spread the word, "Yang Liuqing" town name was called. Because there is a "royal seal" said.
Yang Liuqing Square Yangge which of the above three said prevail, it is difficult to conclude. "Willow said" there are historical facts recorded in writing, the original name of the ancient times is indeed due to the Song soldiers planted willow flourished once called "Willow mouth". "Famous people to say" is also true that the original poem "Yangliuqing Ballad" has been passed down from the Yuan Dynasty to the present day. This statement has been confirmed by Yangliuqing Township Records. As for the "imperial gift of the said", the Qianlong emperor did pass through this place, however, at least there are still two major doubts, it is difficult to confirm. First, this is said to be extremely popular, but there is no history of written records, the evidence is not based on; Second, the ballad of Yangliuqing as early as the Qianlong Jiangnan more than 400 years ago, there has been "Yangliuqing" combination of words used in literary works on the description of Yangliuqing scenery, and will be set as the name of the chapter. This is the reliability and credibility of the "Imperial Decree" is undoubtedly left a big suspense. Is it possible that the name of the town of Yangliuqing had already been finalized when Maddie wrote the poem? However, from the point of view of the authority of Yangliuqing's town name and the cultural color added to Yangliuqing by this legend, it should be more scientific to merge the three sayings into one. Yang Liuqing thousands of years of development, change, Zen Yan, is a very long process. In accordance with the materialist point of view, when the first willow planted into, and then there are literati left a good poem beautiful text was gradually cited as the town name used, after the authority of the Qianlong Emperor "Royalty" to further confirm, it is not known.
Yangliuqing New Year's Paintings "Liannian Yuhu" about the meaning of the town name of Yangliuqing, the meaning of its dissimilarity is mainly in the "Yangliu" two words on two different interpretations: one said "Yangliu" is a general reference to the willow tree. The other says that it is a combination of the two words "Yang Liu" and "Yang Liu". The other is to split the two words, said "Yang" is poplar, "willow" is willow. Both interpretations, according to the Modern Chinese Dictionary, are correct. However, used in the name of the town of Yangliuqing, is a general reference to the willow tree, never refers to the poplar tree and willow tree. Ancient people used to generalize the willow tree as "willow" is an indisputable fact. Such as the ancient poem "crazy willow dance with the wind, light peach blossom by water flow" line, here the "willow" refers to the willow tree, and other sentences in the "peach blossom" relative to the battle. And then "Water Margin" in the "Lu Zhishen pulling down the willow" is also said to willow in the willow tree, rather than pulling a poplar tree and pulling a willow tree. From the actual situation of Yangliuqing, is the Song soldiers along the river embankment planted all over the dill willow, willow into a forest into the shade, named "willow mouth", obviously has nothing to do with the poplar tree. Although Yangliuqing area also has poplar trees, can not be wrong to "Yangliu" split into poplar and willow to explain.

[edit paragraph]Yangliuqing Folk Culture Festival (Lantern Festival)
Yangliuqing every year on the 15th of the first lunar month Lantern Festival, will be held in the folk culture and cultural activities, usually will be (stilts, rice-planting songs and other folkloric performances) and the light show. From my childhood, when every year on the 15th of the first month on the streets are full of ancient lanterns, there are big red garden lamps and wooden square lamps, folk has been popular "first month of the fifteenth stroll lamp slip hundred disease" old saying, people are in the fifteenth and sixteenth of the night on the streets --- drill lamps. -Drill lamps. That is, in the place where the lanterns are hung under the walk over, so you can eliminate diseases. There is also a custom of throwing coins in the lanterns, when I was a child, many children of the same age under the lamp to pick up the money thrown by the adults. Since the return of Hong Kong that summer, the government in Yang Liuqing Stadium fireworks, the beginning of the summer put, and then changed to the first month of every year, sometimes there are sixteen, every night for an hour of fireworks, began to feel so many fireworks so beautiful, and then look accustomed to. In recent years, the old-fashioned lanterns fell on the highway completely disappeared, all the huge floor-standing lanterns, so the fifteenth of the drilling lamps changed to look at the lanterns, but a year some of the new are very beautiful lanterns, there are lanterns of New Year's Eve paintings, lanterns of ancient stories, and hanging money and happy lanterns, cartoon lanterns and Chinese Zodiac lanterns. The original small children's hands to carry the candle-burning paper lanterns have also been replaced by flickering electronic lights, this year is the Year of the Ox, hairpin-type horn lanterns are particularly popular. Every year, the crowd in Yangliuqing on the 15th and 16th makes me feel horrified, and I realize that China's population is so large at that time. But it's hard for the traffic police, every time they are busy late into the night to maintain order.
Although the types and forms of lanterns are now more abundant, but will be significantly reduced, before the highway is full of stilt walkers, lion dance performance, now only a little rice-planting song, it is said that the Shijia compound every year to engage in activities, but that's a charge. I rather miss the lantern festival in Yangliuqing more than ten years ago, but those who haven't come to see the lantern show in Yangliuqing can come to see it, surely it's not a vain trip. I went to college before I realized, very few places to run a free large-scale light show, used to think that all places have the same light festival, so I have not seen friends welcome to come to see the lights, free to see Oh!
