The names of ancient regions were used until the late Eastern Zhou Dynasty, mainly referring to western Shandong and eastern Henan (this region belongs to Yanzhou, one of the ancient Kyushu). Ancient Yanzhou includes eastern Henan, northern Anhui and Yanzhou in Shandong. Source: History of Taoism "Kongsang, Yan Lu is also a vast place. Levin lives in the so-called' Wild Mulberry Garden' in Huangfu Mi. " "History of Famine": "Empty mulberry, wild land, one says' wide mulberry'." Shuowen: "Bitter and salty." It can be seen that there are more saline-alkali land in Kongsang area, which is consistent with the present situation of land in northwest Shandong. In the Longshan culture era, western Shandong and eastern Henan were the most populous and densely populated areas in China, and immigrants from all directions gathered. "Empty mulberry" means "empty land". In the early days of Longshan culture, it was a barren land and few people lived there, so it attracted a large number of immigrants to fill this open space. "Mulberry" refers to the topography of this area in a low humidity environment, with many mounds and hills scattered. Because mulberry likes dry land, mounds and hills are very suitable for planting mulberry. This topographical feature was quickly used by immigrants who arrived in various places, so western Shandong and eastern Henan presented a regional plant landscape with mulberry trees everywhere. Due to the influx of a large number of immigrants in the first half of Longshan culture and the localized reproduction of the population, by the middle and late period of Longshan culture, there was no large open space in this area, and it was more appropriate to rename it "Guangsang".
There have been many ancient celebrities in the empty mulberry land. (1) Confucius. Spring and Autumn Annals: "Confucius' mother travels in a vicious circle of being in a daze, sleeping and dreaming. Hei Di (Pie) invited him to have a dream and said: Your milk will be in the air. If you feel it, you will feel it. "History of Han Art and Literature": "Yan Yu Kong Sang, Kong Zhi Yuan Xiao. Justice in Historical Records quoted the words in brackets: "Zheng was in the place where Confucius was born, now called Kongdu, in the south of Shandong." . "(2) Yi Yin (the phase of Shang Tang).

"Case: Guchen is near Kaifeng City, Henan Province, and its land is on the eastern plain of western Shandong. Legend of the Tang Dynasty: "A Yin without a father was born in an empty mulberry." History of the Road: "If (Kongsang) was born in Yi Yin and was irrigated by the government, Chen stayed. ..... But if * * * Gong Zhen is deep and thick, it is between Xin and Shan. Therefore, Yi Yin, Lv Chunqiu, ancient history research, etc. It is said that Iraq produces empty mulberry ... so the Historical Records says,' Empty mulberry, Nanqi and Beichen, each 30 miles away, have Yiyin Village.' "(3) Li Mu (phase of the Yellow Emperor)."

He also quoted the "History of Literature and Art" as saying: "(There are) fifteen articles on Li Mu's Art of War. "The quotation points out that Li Musheng was born in daze, which is consistent with the connection between Li Mu and Huaihe River Basin in the continuation of natural history. According to documents, Yi Yin, the master of Shang Dynasty, was born in Kongsang, after Li Mu. It seems that the Limu family has been living in the marshes of western Shandong, eastern Henan and northern Anhui. 4 He (astronomer). " "Shan Hai Jing" Guo Pu quoted "Awakening": "The sky is gray, the eight poles are open, and the husband is in charge of the sun and the moon, and the job is dim."

Longmen is closed, Lvliang is underdeveloped, Jianghuai flows through it, and it is universal, and all the people go to mountains and rivers. Shun means letting Yu dredge the three rivers and five lakes, open up the Yi Que, guide the rivers and streams, level the ditches and land, and flow into the East China Sea.
