These three are nicknames of Chengdu, saying that Chengdu is called Rongcheng and Jincheng, so it is not called Guicheng, just as potatoes are not called potatoes or potatoes.
(Ancient Chengdu, like it or not, see for yourself. )
It is called "Turtle City" because there is a legend:
When the city wall was built in Chengdu, it collapsed as soon as it was repaired because of the soft soil, and the Chengdu magistrate was at a loss.
One night, the satrap was very worried. Suddenly, there was a splash in the rotting river outside the window. A turtle poked its head out of the river and said to him, "just follow me and fix it where I climbed."
The satrap was very surprised, so he went out with the tortoise, followed the tortoise and recorded the places where the tortoise climbed one by one.
The tortoise crawled around Chengdu until the horizon turned white and got into the river again.
At this time, the satrap woke up with a tingle. It was a dream. When he looked at his hand again, there was a record he had just made.
So the prefect ordered people to build the city wall according to what the tortoise said, and the city wall never collapsed again.
In order to commemorate the contribution of turtles, Chengdu's nickname became "Turtle City".
(Modern Chengdu Terrain)
Rumors should be cultured. First, the geological environment in Chengdu can't produce chinemys reevesii, but chinemys reevesii is produced by rivers, especially where there are mountains and water. Second, there are many turtle-shaped cities in China, which are basically cities with mountains and water. The city is called Xuanwu. Thirdly, Zhang Yi built the city, because Chengdu is the capital of Shu, so Xianyang and Qin Dou are required to be used as templates for rebuilding the capital. Of course, Qintong Liuhe rebuilt many cities, all of which took Xianyang as a template. In the Ming Dynasty, the King City of Shu was built in Chengdu according to the template of the Forbidden City in Beijing. Now the portrait of the chairman in the city center is the small Tiananmen building at that time. Fourth, Zhang Yi was ordered by Qin Ting to rebuild the capital. It is a question whether the so-called wizard can get close. There were bloggers who were very popular at that time. They are called alchemists. They mainly seek eternal life. In the history of China, there are two groups of people who are very good at building and manufacturing. They are Gongbo and Mohist respectively. When Zhang Yi built the city, only Qin Mo could put forward the correct plan. Fourthly, Chengdu was rebuilt with Xianyang as the template, and later the government ruled Chengdu with Chang 'an as the template, Chang 'an as Zhili, Chang 'an County and Wannian County as the cities, Chengdu as the capital, and Chengdu County and Huayang County as the cities. Therefore, the abbreviation Chengdu dare not be named after the shape of the city, otherwise Qin Shihuang will come to see you at night. Chengdu is abbreviated as follows. It turned out to be the capital of Shu, so it was called Shu. Jin Guancheng was built in the Tang Dynasty, so it is also called Jin Guancheng. King Shu planted hibiscus flowers on the city wall, so it is also called Rongcheng. The rumor monger is really pitiful and self-abased, showing a disgusting face, which is disgusting.
Turtle city, now a derogatory term, had another meaning in ancient times. Chengdu was indeed called the turtle city in ancient times, and this statement came from the record of Huayang Guozhi Shuzhi.
After the Qin dynasty destroyed the ancient Shu kingdom, it was not easy to build the wall of Chengdu in that year, because the local terrain was low and humid and the soil was soft, and it took a lot of time to build it again and again. Later, according to the terrain, it was based on high places. As a result, it was forced to do so, which led to the uneven north-south wall of Chengdu, non-square and non-round, bending like a turtle, so Chengdu was also called turtle city in ancient times.
In ancient times, the tortoise was an auspicious and supernatural treasure, so people invented the legend of the tortoise. According to "Searching for the Gods", in the twenty-seventh year of Qin Huiwang (AD 3 10), Zhang Yi built the city wall of the capital and was repeatedly collapsed. Suddenly, a turtle floated on the river, reached the southeast corner and died there. Zhang Yi asked the wizard why, and the wizard said, "Make the city wall like a turtle." . Only in this way can it be built, so Chengdu is also called "osmanthus city".
Chengdu also has many nice names, such as "Jincheng", "Rongcheng" and "Los Angeles". Don't just remember a "turtle city"!
Guicheng = Chengdu
Answer; In ancient times, when the ancient city wall of Chengdu was built in Qin and Han Dynasties. It is found that the city wall is surrounded by circles and looks like a turtle, so it is called turtle city. This is why Chengdu is now called turtle city.
Chengdu is not called turtle city, but it is obviously an ignorance to belittle Chengdu. Please have a look. What is the official nickname of Chengdu? It is called Rongcheng. The so-called "turtle market" is a folk saying in the past.
Now Chengdu is speeding up the construction of a unique world park cultural city.
Under the background of this era, talking about "turtle city" is completely contrary to the new era.
Chengdu is called Rongcheng, Jincheng and Jinguancheng. Chengdu has been called "Land of Abundance" since ancient times.
It was more than two thousand years ago that Chengdu was called Guicheng. At that time, the population was small, and many places were underdeveloped because of poor conditions. For example, Chaotianmen in Chongqing was still a barren land where apes on both sides of the strait could not cry, while Chengdu was located in a fertile plain thousands of miles away, which was suitable for agricultural cultivation, accumulated rich wealth and had the strength to build a big city. The coffins of Laojunshan site in Chengdu are all evidence of hammers.
According to legend, when Chengdu was building a city, the city walls were washed away by floods several times. A turtle crawled around, and later built a wall according to the route that the turtle crawled, and never fell down. Obviously, this is a fabrication. Chengdu is not the only ancient capital of China. How can the legend of Guicheng be unique? In fact, we can know from the place names of Chengdu, such as Xiyu Street, Jinhe Half Street, Tianxian Bridge, Erxian Bridge, Sandong Bridge, Wugui Bridge, Jiuyan Bridge, Wan Li Bridge, Shuinian River, Mozi Bridge and Jiudaoyan Bridge. There are nearly a thousand water-related place names in the history of Chengdu. Now, when it comes to clear water and lush mountains, it is priceless wealth. Chengdu is far from Qingshan, but it is definitely green water. In the past two thousand years, it is difficult to find a big city to compare with it. The earliest brewery in China is in
In fact, Wugui Bridge in Chengdu used to be called Turtle Bridge, because it was called Turtle Dam, and now it is a famous mansion in Binhe Bay. Chengdu has always been a fertile land, attracting countless people to visit and live here, such as Li Bai and Du Fu in Sima Xiangru.
Turtle, the scientific name of Chinese grass turtle, is called the four sacred objects in China together with dragon, phoenix and unicorn. Turtles are used to carry stone tablets in imperial tombs and to suppress evil spirits in folk houses, which is a beautiful symbol. People who don't know China's national traditions don't know turtle culture.
At present, there is more than one "stone turtle" in the mountain city of Chongqing, which is often flooded. They were called "Gui Hu" and called on their "ancestors" to return as soon as possible.
Guicheng is the oldest nickname in Chengdu, and it is also the nickname that Chengdu people are proud of. Compared with other nicknames such as Rongcheng and Jincheng, Guicheng can fully reflect the characteristics of Chengdu and Chengdu people. For example, people in Guicheng are stingy and like to bite (suck the blood of Sichuan brothers and discredit their brother cities) and so on.
I don't know whether it is derogatory or just for Chengdu to call itself the turtle city, but the words turtle son, turtle grandson, turtle tortoise and shrinking turtle from the turtle city are definitely derogatory.
Look at the picture below to tell you why Chengdu is called turtle city.
Chengdu is also known as Rongcheng, Los Angeles and Chengdu. (The second picture below is a description of Chengdu. )
Zhang Yi was building a wall in Chengdu, and it fell down again and again. Later, she dreamed that a turtle climbed a circle along a certain route. After Zhang Yi woke up, the wall built according to the tortoise's crawling route never collapsed again, hence the name Turtle City.
