Why is Henan called Yu for short?

Every province in China has an abbreviation, and abbreviations in many provinces are uncommon words, such as Hubei, Anhui, Fujian, Fujian, Jiangxi and Guangdong. These words are rarely seen in other places except as abbreviations of provinces, while the abbreviation of Henan in the Central Plains is "Yu". What is the origin of this abbreviation? When did you start screaming? Henan is located in the middle and east of China, in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, bordering Anhui and Shandong in the east, Hebei and Shanxi in the north, Shaanxi in the west and Hubei in the south. Henan is located in the middle of China, connecting the east with the west. Known as heaven and earth in ancient times, it is regarded as the land of China and the pivot of the world. From the summer to the Song Dynasty, Henan has always been the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of China. Since ancient times, there has been a saying in Henan that "most of the celebrities in the world are in Zhongzhou", and Henan is the source of the Yellow River culture. The status of Henan can be seen. This is why Henan is often regarded as the political center of China. Why is Henan called Yu for short? I believe you will understand after reading this history.

Henan: The area south of the Yellow River was called Henan in ancient times. Korea set up Yuzhou Department. Tang set up Henan Road. Henan road in song dynasty. Yuan is located in Jiangbei, Henan Province. Henan Province was founded in the early Ming Dynasty. The jurisdiction is equivalent to Yuzhou, so it is referred to as "Yu"

Henan is called Yu for short, which originated from. When Dayu was in charge of water conservancy, he divided the world into nine places for the convenience of management, which was a great event in history. From then on, our land in China is also called Kyushu. Dayu divided the world into Kyushu and called the state where his capital Yangcheng was located Yuzhou, because in ancient times, "everything was called Yu." Since then, Henan has been called the first in Henan. For Yuzhou, it mainly refers to the Henan area today. At the same time, under the division of thirteen States in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the scope of Henan Province is relatively consistent with that of Yuzhou. This is one of the historical roots of Henan Province's abbreviation "Yu".

Here, me too. Elephants are astronomical phenomena, and "Yu" means "I'm here to see astronomical phenomena"! It turns out that the ancient Yuzhou, which is now in Henan, is a densely forested, warm and humid and fertile place in Yuan Ye, which is very suitable for the survival of elephants. According to legend, in ancient times, there were many rivers, dense forests and wild elephants in Henan, and Henan was vividly described as a place where people led elephants. This is the origin of the hieroglyph "Yu".

In ancient times, Henan was an important political center in China. The use of Henan can better reflect the majesty of Fang Zhengzhi, which has a very profound meaning. Maybe that's where China got his name. This is why Henan chose Yu as their abbreviation, instead of choosing other words to represent the word Yu. I believe that few people here will know this truth if they don't ask their grandparents.
