In the Spring and Autumn Period, Yingcheng belonged to Yi and Yun, and in the Warring States Period it belonged to Chu.
About thousands of years ago, the southeast of Yingcheng was still a swamp, connected with the ancient cloud Mengze; The northwest is a hilly land with open terrain, which is suitable for reclamation and station troops to fight.
According to historical records, at the latest in the Spring and Autumn Period, the old town of Pusao was built 30 miles north of the county seat, which was an important frontier of Yunzhou, and the famous battle between Chu and Yunpusao took place here.
The earliest record of the place name of Pusao is Zuo Zhuan.
According to Zuo Zhuan, "In the 11th year of Lu Huangong (70 BC1), Chu will overcome his shortcomings and become an ally.
YunMinJun in PuSao, with chu sui, strand, zhou, liao.
..... Chu then defeated marble in Pu Sao, and returned after his death. "
Where does Pusao recorded in the book refer to? According to Du Yu, in the battle of Pu Sao, he said, "Pu Sao, Yi Yun.
"That is, PuSao is a city in Guo Yun.
"Guangxu Yingcheng Records Volume 7" records more specifically: "The old town of Pusao, a Pusaotai, also known as Pusaolai, is located in the ancient town of Sanli Qishan Group in the northwest of this county.
Residents often pick up lost tiles and broken halberds when farming, which are mottled and antique.
Three miles west of the city, called Shenjiahu. Today, it is not a flat territory, so it is called "Ancient City Pool".
"Guangxu Yingcheng Zhi" also said: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, Yingcheng belonged to Zhen and Yun (Anlu).
"There is no doubt that Pu Sao is in Yingcheng.
Accordingly, Pusao land was an important battlefield in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was the only place for Chu people to advance eastward, and eventually became Chu land.
According to the two surveys of 1958 and 1979 by the cultural relics department of our city, and the two cultural relics surveys of 198 1 982, two sites, Zhaiziwan and Zhaojiawan, were found in the Guziqi Mountain Group in Tiandian, and a large number of sites were unearthed.
This is undoubtedly the characteristic of the site during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
From Tiandian Town to Sanli along the rich water west, that is, the former site of Shenjiahu, it is no longer Pingchou, that is, Gupu Sister-in-law City recorded in ancient books.
Judging from the subordinate relationship of Yingcheng in the evolution of regional organizational system, Yingcheng belonged to Pusao in the Zhou Dynasty and Chu in the Warring States Period, hence the name Yunmeng Pu Ge.
The battle between Chu Yun and Pu Sao, as a model of hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period, was recorded by historians with a rigorous attitude, and the story of Pu Sao's old city spread and was admired by the world.
The ancient city of Putuo has also left many footprints of literati and poets. Qu Yuan's disciple Song Yu once lived in Pusao, and went to Pusao to meet Song Yu when Jing Ke was demoted.
According to "Chu Ji", "Song Yu lived in Pu Sao, and wrote" Nine Arguments ".
"He said," Jing Ke, a native of Chu, is the same ancestor of Qu Yuan as Song Yu. He served King Xiang of Chu as a doctor and was placed in Pusao for his work.
Therefore, Pusao is not only a famous ancient battlefield, but also a place where Chu exiled literati with different political views. It can be seen that Pu Sao belonged to the border of Chu at that time.
In the long history of thousands of years, after chanting by some literati, many poems about Pu Sao have been left behind.
For example, in the Song Dynasty, when Ouyang Xiu buried his uncle in Yingcheng, he traveled to Pu Sao. His poem "Lou Tou" said:
Qian Shan, a hundred feet on the roof, looks at the smoke in the south of Chu River.
Clouds cover the white road, hanging curtains in the sky, and rolling curtains at dusk.
Mulberry fall in Pucheng urges wine, and willow grass declines over the years.
Shine like John Bowring and hate, but don't wait for lang.
In the Ming dynasty, Zhou Liang's poem "Yong Pu Sao Tai" said:
The ancient base is desolate and confusing, and the broken monument is silent.
The shepherd boy, regardless of rank, plays a rising flute.
Sun Qian's poem "Yong Pu Sao Fan" during the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty;
A fertile land, the villagers do their best to cultivate.
How much do you know about Chu Yun? You have a problem with Pucheng.
Although the old town of Pusao has declined, its reputation has spread far and wide and has been passed down from generation to generation.
Later, a county was set up in the city, and the county wall was built during the Ming and Chenghua years. County governance is just south of Gupusao, which was compiled by literati, and poets were princes, so it was called Puyang.
The first word "Puyang" in Chinese characters is now "Puyang Ruimu".
With the change of Yingcheng Ancient Learning, the school was built in 656, and was converted into Gong Xue in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Later, in the seventh year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (147 1), it was rebuilt into the Confucius Temple (now in the People's Park).
There are two cypress trees in front of the school, Xuegong and Confucius Temple, and there are two osmanthus trees in the back, which are called double laurels and double cypresses in ancient times.
The double cypresses are towering, the double laurels are fragrant and exquisite, which has created the feng shui context of Yingcheng talents Fengxiang and imperial examinations.
Therefore, Yingcheng people put this pair of osmanthus and cypress together and called it "Puyang Ruimu".
The name of Puyang was first spread in Sri Lanka and made public.
Later, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, academies flourished, with "Daonan Academy" in the south of the city and "Puyang Academy" in the west street of the county, making the name of Puyang a household name in calligraphy and widely known.
In particular, the name "Puyang" is more elegant than the name "Yingcheng", and scholars often use "Puyang" instead of "Yingcheng" to chant in their poems.
Although Puyang has never been listed as a county name, it has been widely used as the nickname of the county.
People's Park, built in the early years of the Republic of China, is a tourist attraction for people. At that time, someone inscribed it as "Puyang Resort".
A nickname of Puyang contains a history of Yingcheng, which makes people feel a lot and think a lot.
