Located on the west side of the south section of Tianshui Road in Lanzhou City, there is a one-boat community, which is divided into Beichuan Street, Zhongchuan Street and Nanchuan Street. It is said that this is the only place name and place name named after "Ship" in Lanzhou. As an inland city, why does Lanzhou have a place name related to ships? What is the historical origin of this? After visiting, the reporter found that the "one boat" in Lanzhou today is indeed a place name related to boats and southerners.
According to Zhang Aiguo, the place names of ships can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, it was once a "Yiyuan Garden" built for southerners, which was used to temporarily store the coffins of the dead Jiangnan people. Because the building of "Yiyuan Garden" at that time was shaped like a boat, it was called "a boat" as the name suggests.
When talking about this, Zhang Aiguo pointed out that it was at least a hundred years ago, and other things have little to do with the present except the existence of place names. According to relevant historical records, in the Qing Dynasty, with the frequent use of soldiers in the northwest at that time, more and more Jiangnan people went to the west with the army. Being in a foreign land and being a soldier, people often miss their hometown, especially in the hearts of some old people, especially China's inherent feelings in the final analysis. In this case, they raised funds to build a "Yiyuan Garden" in today's boatyard to temporarily store the coffins of the dead Jiangnan people, so as to move to the land of mulberry in the future and truly return to the root.
At that time, the architectural style and modeling of "Yiyuan" here were very strange. From the outside, it looks like a big ship sailing in China Southern Airlines. In the courtyard of Yiyuan Garden, there is a towering flagpole, which looks like the mast of a big ship. On the corner of the building, there is also a cornice bent on stilts, which is simply a wave bow. Such buildings and their functions, to some extent, entrusted the endless homesickness of Jiangnan people who came from the west with the army at that time. So people at that time called this place "a boat" according to the shape of this "one yuan", which has been used until today.
According to the old man in Zhang Aiguo, the origin of the place name "a boat" is the most in line with the facts. Now, 70-and 80-year-old Lanzhou residents still have an impression of the former "Yiyuan Garden".
For some people, the name of Lanzhou "a boat" is named because of its low terrain and difficult navigation in the water, which is not true. Lao Zhangman Ai Guo said that in Lanzhou, in the low-lying area near the Yellow River, there are places lower than "one boat", such as Shuicheyuan near the south and east of Guangwumen. The terrain is similar to "one boat", but the distance from the Yellow River is closer than "one boat". In the case of the same flood of rain and river water, there should be more than "one boat" at that time. However, according to the survey, there were many pear trees bearing winter fruits near the Shuicheyuan at that time, some of which were still very old. From the growth habit, these tree species were most afraid of floods. Because they are afraid of water trees in places where water is more likely to accumulate than "one boat", they can survive well, which shows that the water potential was not great at that time, and "one boat" is not a place that is often flooded, as some people say. Therefore, it is inappropriate to name this place "a boat" because it is often flooded, walks like a boat, or water can carry a boat.
