The Origin of Place Names in Wangzhigang Town

Wangzhigang is in the east of Baoying County. Jiaqing's Reconstruction of Yangzhou Prefecture Records in Qing Dynasty, Volume 8, Records of Mountains and Rivers in Baoying County, contains 48 pages:

It is fifteen miles from the county seat in the east, connected to Matsui in the west, Huangdang in the north, Wagouxi in the southwest and Chengzihe in the southeast. In the eighth year of Jiading in Song Dynasty, the port was blocked, and Jia, the magistrate of a county, participated in dredging to facilitate business travel.

"Baidu Encyclopedia" and other online "Wang Zhigang Origin" clouds:

Legend has it that Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, was skilled in martial arts when he was young. He was good at fighting against injustice and didn't believe in ghosts and gods. In the second week, Zhao Kuangyin led troops to the Battle of Liuhe and passed Baoying, which coincided with a family offering sacrifices in the county seat. When Zhao Kuangyin saw a chicken on the sacrificial plate, he raised his knife to cut it. Ji Ling was frightened and fled, and Zhao Kuangyin chased after Ji Ling. It took a market town to catch Ji Ling, and later it was called "looking straight". Because in the west of the county seat, ships often stop here, so it was renamed as "Wangzhigang".

"Baidu Encyclopedia" and other online "Wang Zhi Port Status" clouds:

Back Weng's "Family Record" contains:

Baoying Wangzhigang Town is the hometown of retired grandfather Zhu Bukui. Baoying Zhu is a large family, living in the county, with a surname in the lane; A person lives in a township, and "Wangzhigang Town" is its settlement.

Retired Weng once heard Lv Shuxiang, the late director of Baoying County Library, say that "Zhu's genealogy was discovered in Wangzhigang", but he didn't see it. Later, according to Yin Zhihua, director of the Archaeological Department of Yangzhou Museum, the cloud of Jane Eyre was recorded by hand:

Zhu's ancestors were three kings in the Song Dynasty: Zhao Lie Jingning Xiao Wen, Chi Xin Jingkang Wende, Zhongwu Zhu Lie, and Henan Nankai Fengren. When it was passed on to the tenth generation, the surname was given in the Yuan Dynasty and the compound surname Zhu was given in the Ming Dynasty.

There is no textual research on retiring Weng, and I dare not say whether his "spectrum" is right or wrong. However, the location of Wangzhigang Town is prosperous, so "physical evidence" is everywhere.
