Origin of place names
The word Hengshui first appeared in the Southern Patrol Stele by Tuobajun, Emperor Wencheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty.The inscription mentioned that Emperor Wencheng once held a grand "ceremony" at the "Hengshui River" in Xindu (today's Jizhou City)."Wedding ceremony" refers to the sacrificial activities held at the water's edge in spring and autumn in ancient times to remove dirt, avoid disasters and pray for blessings.What is the meaning of "Hengshui" in "Hengshui Shore"?According to the textual research of Liu Hongxun, who once served as the director of the Party History Office of the Hengshui Municipal Party Committee, "Hengshui" here is the name of the river, that is, the nickname of the section after the Zhangshui River that crosses today's Jizhou City at that time, also known as "Hengzhang" or "Hengzhang".
In the 16th year of the reign of Emperor Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty, the ambassador of Hebei, Lang Weizhi, divided the village into three counties, namely Hengshui County (including the land and villages around the original Taoxian government office, such as Taoyuan and Beimazhuang). In March 1946, when Shen and Heng re surveyed the county boundary, the two counties negotiated to assign the 17 villages mentioned above to Shen County, and several villages in Shen County to Hengshui), Xindu and Wuyi, and set up a new Hengshui County,It is located in the old town village of Hengshui today.The name of the county takes the meaning of "Zhangshui Crossflow", because Zhangshui does not flow east into the sea after entering from the southwest of Hengshui County, but turns north and then into the sea.Therefore, the ancients also called this section of Zhanghe River "Hengshui". Later, due to the confluence of Zhanghe River and Fufu River, this section of water is now the Fuyang River.Since then, the name of Hengshui County has been used for generations.[37]
