Unveiling the 'Qian' of Guizhou: Originating from ancient history and culture
Among the many place names in the vast land of China, the beautiful place of Guizhou always makes people yearn for.
When we delve into the history and culture of Guizhou, we will find a fascinating name - 'Qian'.
So, why is Guizhou called 'Qian'? Let's unravel this mystery together.
From the perspective of etymology, the word 'Qian' originally referred to a type of fish, and later generally referred to black objects in the water.
Guizhou is located in a remote area where high mountains, deep valleys, and rivers intertwine. Due to its special geographical environment, the mountainous area is rainy, the sunshine time is short, and the vegetation is lush. Many mountain rivers are generally dark green or deep black, so they are called 'Qian Water' or 'Qian River'.
This special water color has also become one of the symbols of Guizhou, making the word 'Qian' gradually used to represent various aspects of this region's humanities, history, culture, etc. From a historical and cultural perspective, Guizhou was historically part of the area where the Qian Kingdom was located.
During the Yuan Dynasty, Guizhou established the Qianzhou Province, which was renamed Guizhou Governor's Office in the Ming Dynasty, and the Guizhou Governor's Office was established in the Qing Dynasty.
The naming of these administrative divisions is inseparable from the word 'Qian', highlighting Guizhou's important position in history.
In addition, the three regions of Qiannan, Qiandongnan, and Qianxinan are named after their locations within Guizhou Province, further highlighting the unique significance of the word 'Qian' in Guizhou culture.
In addition to the above explanations, we can also delve into the deeper meaning of the word 'Qian'.
In ancient times, people often regarded black objects in the water as mysterious and sacred symbols, because black represents depth and unknown.
As a place full of mystery, Guizhou's beauty of mountains and rivers and the charm of humanities make people feel a mysterious power.
Therefore, the word 'Qian' is not only a description of Guizhou's geographical environment, but also a praise and praise for Guizhou's unique charm.
On the land of Guizhou, there are a variety of natural landscapes and cultural heritage. From the magnificent Huangguoshu Waterfall to the mysterious Libo Xiaoqikong, from the quaint Miao Village to the solemn Dong Drum Tower, every corner exudes unique charm.
The word 'Qian' as the representative of Guizhou, even more so, these beautiful scenery and cultural heritage are condensed together, becoming the symbol and pride of Guizhou.
In the long river of history, this land of Guizhou has been given a unique name - Qian.
This name originated from the ancient people's name for the south, and Guizhou is located in the south of our country, so it is named 'Qian'.
In addition, Guizhou has an ancient name called 'Qianzhong', because it is located in the central part of the south of our country, it is an important passage connecting the east, west, south, and north, so it is called 'Qianzhong'.
Let's travel through time and space, back to the Western Zhou period, when Guizhou was a vassal state - Qian State.
This country is located in today's Guizhou and Yunnan area, and was an important political center in the ancient southwestern region.
The establishment and development of the Qian State left a heavy stroke in the history of Guizhou.
Let's take a look at the three regions under the jurisdiction of Guizhou Province: Qiannan, Qiandongnan, and Qianxinan.
These three regions are named after their geographical locations, located in the south, southeast, and southwest of Guizhou Province respectively.
This trip to Huangguoshu was very pleasant 😁. Master Li was very enthusiastic and thoughtful. He sent us the travel route and precautions one day in advance. The hotel picked us up very early that day and took our luggage for us. I also prepared motion sickness medicine for me. We followed Master Li's prepared strategy. Completed this pleasant trip, thank you Ctrip for recommending such a good master Li, we will see you next time!
The waterfall scenic area is really shocking 😀😀😀, it's not a trip! Remind everyone, be sure to bring raincoats, pay attention to protection, or fall wet, the picture haha, wet.
The scenery is very good and worthwhile. On the eleventh, the weather was very good, still very hot, the waterfall was spectacular, we came from the north, and saw this spectacular waterfall group gave us a big shock. It was a pity that we didn't go to the back of the water curtain hole.
The scenic area has beautiful scenery, especially the big waterfall, which is quite shocking. You can also see the rainbow. Secondly, the steep slope pond and the shooting location of the travel record to the west. And Tianxing Bridge, if the physical strength is not good, it is not recommended to go. It is said that there is 7.5 kilometers, and the first half of the scenic spots are relatively flat, and the second half of the scenic spots are OK.
The vehicle is in good condition and very new. The rest hall has snacks and fruit drinks. The environmental service is good. It can save a lot of time. When I met the same person who chatted loudly in the car, the driver kindly reminded me not to affect other people, and there were people throwing garbage in the car at will. We are also asking customers. Why don't we pay attention to the image? Recommend the family travel choice.
Generally speaking, it is necessary to buy VIP for the elderly with children. There is no need to wait by car. There is a lounge with pastries and fruits. You only need to sit in the lounge staff to arrange the car for you. When the car arrives, you will come to call you. You must buy VIP on holidays. We played for almost 6 hours and didn't feel tired at all.
Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area is much larger than expected. There are three scenic spots in the scenic area, Huangguoshu Waterfall, Steep Potang Waterfall, and Tianxingqiao Waterfall. It takes a whole day to complete the three attractions. Each attraction has its own characteristics. Unfortunately, the amount of water in the dry water period is not large. The overall feeling is worth a visit. Praise.
