Xiaogan City in Hubei Province is the only prefecture-level city named after filial piety in the country (there is another county-level city named after filial piety in Shanxi Province), and it originated from Xiaogan County, which was originally called Xiaochang County (the name of present-day Xiaochang County is based on this).
According to the Xiaogan government website:
"Xiaogan's first county was named "Xiaochang", which has an unusual origin. According to history, Liu Jun (reigned 454-464), the third son of Liu Yilong, the Emperor of Wen, was established as the King of Wuling in Xiyang (east of present-day Huanggang, Hubei Province). In the third year of Yuanjia (453), Liu Shuai, the eldest son of Emperor Wen, killed his father and usurped the throne, and renamed the year as Taichu. Liu Jun led his troops in a crusade, and succeeded in the crusade against the "rebellion", and gained the throne. In order to consolidate the imperial power, Liu Jun advocated filial piety and changed the name of the year to Xiaojian, and ordered to reward those who had filial piety by "granting a title to those who are filial to the emperor". Then, in the first year of Xiaojian (454), Liu Jun set up a new county in the eastern border of Anlu and the southern border of Utopia County, where filial piety and filial piety are famous, and named it "Xiaochang" to praise the prosperity of filial piety in this place, and at the same time to show his determination to rule the country with filial piety. To the Five Dynasties after the Tang Dynasty, Zhuangzong Li Cunxin castrol to avoid the name of his grandfather Li Guochang taboo, in the Tongguang two years (924 years) to change Xiaochang for "filial piety", meaning filial piety of the feelings of touching the sky and earth, the name has been in use to the present day. The origin of this name, overflowing with filial piety unique culture of filial piety distinctive colors. Even in the Cultural Revolution was once renamed "Dongfeng" County, but ultimately returned to the history of the casting of its cultural stereotypes. "
According to my understanding, Deyang, Sichuan has a filial piety township, and people of Sichuan nationality more than claimed that their ancestors came from the "Mashiro filial piety". Therefore, Xiaogan in history enjoys the reputation of "immigrant holy land".
In the twenty-four filial piety compiled by the ancients, Xiaogan accounted for three: Dong Yong, Huang Xiang and Meng Zong. And Huang Xiang and Meng Zong are the real characters of history, although Dong Yong is a legendary character, but also has a basis.
The filial piety Jane's department of Ming Chenghua years, in the context of Jiangxi fill Lake Canton, from Jiangxi Xinyu moved to. According to a 1988 statistics, the original county-level Xiaogan City (now divided into Xiaochang County, Xiaonan District) has a Jane population of nearly 700 people.
