What is the origin of Bengbu place names?

"mussel" is an aquatic animal, because Bengbu is close to the Huaihe River and is rich in mussels. The place where mussels are concentrated is called Bengbu. It is named after the rich mussel pearls since ancient times, and it is also known as the "Pearl City". Bengbu is located in the dividing line between the north and the south of China. The northerners are rough and bold, while the southerners are beautiful and graceful, fertile and flat, and rich in products. It is a dazzling pearl on the bank of the Huaihe River, so there is a saying that it is better to cross the Huaihe River than to take the Wan Li Road. 19 1 1 When the Revolution of 1911 broke out, there were trains in Bengbu, and now it is the intersection of beijing-shanghai railway and Huaihe River.

As the earliest city in Anhui Province, the convenience of railway transportation and the smooth navigation of Huaihe River have made Bengbu, a primitive fishing village, famous for its ancient merchants, and gradually developed into an important transportation hub in East China, an important national agricultural and sideline production base and a regional processing, commerce, science and technology and cultural center.

Bengbu has a long history and culture. It is one of the cradles of ancient civilization in China, and also the cradles of China characters. The first generation monarch of Xia Dynasty was Qi, and his mother was from Bengbu, where Dayu got married and had children, so Bengbu was also called the romantic "city of love". Many important events in history occurred and accumulated in Bengbu, such as Dayu's flood control, the founding of Xia Qi, the struggle between Chu and Han, and the Huaihai Campaign.
