Unveiling the 'Qian' of Guizhou: Originating from ancient history and culture
Among the many place names in the vast land of China, the beautiful place of Guizhou always makes people yearn for.
When we delve into the history and culture of Guizhou, we will find a fascinating name - 'Qian'.
So, why is Guizhou called 'Qian'? Let's unravel this mystery together.
From the perspective of etymology, the word 'Qian' originally referred to a type of fish, and later generally referred to black objects in the water.
Guizhou is located in a remote area where high mountains, deep valleys, and rivers intertwine. Due to its special geographical environment, the mountainous area is rainy, the sunshine time is short, and the vegetation is lush. Many mountain rivers are generally dark green or deep black, so they are called 'Qian Water' or 'Qian River'.
This special water color has also become one of the symbols of Guizhou, making the word 'Qian' gradually used to represent various aspects of this region's humanities, history, culture, etc. From a historical and cultural perspective, Guizhou was historically part of the area where the Qian Kingdom was located.
During the Yuan Dynasty, Guizhou established the Qianzhou Province, which was renamed Guizhou Governor's Office in the Ming Dynasty, and the Guizhou Governor's Office was established in the Qing Dynasty.
The naming of these administrative divisions is inseparable from the word 'Qian', highlighting Guizhou's important position in history.
In addition, the three regions of Qiannan, Qiandongnan, and Qianxinan are named after their locations within Guizhou Province, further highlighting the unique significance of the word 'Qian' in Guizhou culture.
In addition to the above explanations, we can also delve into the deeper meaning of the word 'Qian'.
In ancient times, people often regarded black objects in the water as mysterious and sacred symbols, because black represents depth and unknown.
As a place full of mystery, Guizhou's beauty of mountains and rivers and the charm of humanities make people feel a mysterious power.
Therefore, the word 'Qian' is not only a description of Guizhou's geographical environment, but also a praise and praise for Guizhou's unique charm.
On the land of Guizhou, there are a variety of natural landscapes and cultural heritage. From the magnificent Huangguoshu Waterfall to the mysterious Libo Xiaoqikong, from the quaint Miao Village to the solemn Dong Drum Tower, every corner exudes unique charm.
The word 'Qian' as the representative of Guizhou, even more so, these beautiful scenery and cultural heritage are condensed together, becoming the symbol and pride of Guizhou.
In the long river of history, this land of Guizhou has been given a unique name - Qian.
This name originated from the ancient people's name for the south, and Guizhou is located in the south of our country, so it is named 'Qian'.
In addition, Guizhou has an ancient name called 'Qianzhong', because it is located in the central part of the south of our country, it is an important passage connecting the east, west, south, and north, so it is called 'Qianzhong'.
Let's travel through time and space, back to the Western Zhou period, when Guizhou was a vassal state - Qian State.
This country is located in today's Guizhou and Yunnan area, and was an important political center in the ancient southwestern region.
The establishment and development of the Qian State left a heavy stroke in the history of Guizhou.
Let's take a look at the three regions under the jurisdiction of Guizhou Province: Qiannan, Qiandongnan, and Qianxinan.
These three regions are named after their geographical locations, located in the south, southeast, and southwest of Guizhou Province respectively.
