To study Handan is to study it from different fields. The origin of Handan place names has also become a research topic for some experts and scholars.
In fact, the discussion on the origin of Handan place names has never stopped since ancient times, but it is intermittent, unsystematic and incoherent. Here are a few representative statements.
The place name of Handan was first seen in Gu Liang Zhuan in the Spring and Autumn Period: "Handan weaves a sound canal and never keeps it". That is to say, in 546 BC, civil strife broke out in Wei, and doctor Ning was killed for some unknown reason. Guo, the brother of Ning's partner, fled to Handan. This is the earliest record of Handan in historical documents.
There is also a record of "Guan Yi Dune Garden Platform" in Historical Records Yin Benji. Textual research on Zhang Shoujie's Historical Records of Justice in the Tang Dynasty quoted the bamboo calendar as saying: "Pan Geng moved to Yin for 253 years, but never moved to the capital. When he was a little older, he left the palace away from Chao Ge in the south and Handan and sand dunes in the north. " It means that when Pan Geng, the ancestor of Shang Dynasty, moved the capital to Yin (now Xiaotun, Anyang, Henan), the Yin Dynasty perished and never moved the capital again in 253 years. During the Zhou Wang period, the capital gradually expanded, reaching Chao Ge (now Qixian County, Henan Province) in the south, Handan and Dune in the north, and various places built separate palaces. The reign of Yin Dynasty was about 1 1 century BC, indicating that the place names of Handan existed as early as 3000 years ago.
The origin of the name of Handan, Zhang Yan, an annotator of Hanshu, explained: "Handan Mountain is under the East City. Single, do it. The city wall comes from the city, so add a cloud. "
An expert in modern times explained the origin of Handan's name as: There is a mountain in this city, which is called Hanshan Mountain. Handan got its name from this.
Another modern scholar explained the origin of Handan's name as: the edge of Chinese characters is the opposite of Dan. The sun rises from the horizon; This day has not come yet. The sweet sun never crosses the horizon, but its brilliance shines on the horizon, indicating that the sun is about to rise. On the edge of the word "Dan", there is a fertile field on the horizon, and the two points above Tian Zi symbolize the lush millet and grass growing in the field. Next to the word Handan, it symbolizes the prosperity of the population and the flocks of cattle and sheep in this land. In short, the sun in Handan is about to rise, and the sun shines on this fertile soil with a prosperous population and flocks of cattle and sheep.
The author thinks that the origin of their names is nothing more than geographical features, landmark buildings, animals and plants, wishes and ideals, names of important people, surnames and so on.
Named after geographical features, such as Daodongbao, Daoxibao, Xihepo Village, Donghepo Village, Qian Shan Village and Shanhou Village; Named after landmark buildings, such as Tadong Town, Taxi Town, Yan 'an Village and Yabeizhuang. Named after animals and plants, such as Xinghua Village, Taoyuanzhuang, Shiziling and Laohupo; Named after wishes and ideals, such as Shunhe Village and Heping Village; Named after important people, such as Zuoquan County and Luocheng Village. Of course, there are other names, so I won't list them here. Personally, I think Handan, like Shijiazhuang and Zhangjiakou, is named after surnames.
Although the surname Handan can't be found among hundreds of surnames now, there used to be the surname Handan, which is a compound surname. In the past, everyone had not only surnames, but also surnames. Surname and surname are two different things. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, surnames and surnames have been combined into one, and some have inherited surnames as surnames. Others will inherit the surname as surname. For example, according to relevant information, the current surname is Wu, and the previous surname is Ji. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this branch has been divided into two parts, one is the surname of Ji; A surname, surnamed Wu; There are also many compound surnames that have been taken apart to inherit; At the same time, many surnames have evolved into other surnames and passed down. As for the specific name of Handan, it is still unknown whether it moved to other places, split into surnames as people say, or evolved into other surnames. But there is no doubt that Handan was originally a compound surname.
In Once upon a time written by Ban Gu, there is a description of "Han Danchun". In Surnames of Past Dynasties written by Wu and Ding Dada, the description of "Han Danchun" is as follows: "Han Dan, whose name is Chun, is uncle. Handan has a compound surname. Ren Wei, who is good at eight-style writing, collates stone classics, remembers elegance, speaks the meaning, refers to words, and the book breaks through the clouds. Han Danchun is familiar with stereotyped writing and studied under Cao, especially good at ancient Chinese, big seal script, stereotyped writing and official script. Since "The Secret of Du Linwei", ancient prose has disappeared, all written by Chunfu. Therefore, it is certain that Handan used to have this surname. Therefore, it is believed that the origin of Handan place names should be named after surnames.
