Ganzhou is the southernmost prefecture-level city in Jiangxi Province and the largest prefecture-level city in Jiangxi. Jiangxi is called "Gan". Because of the relationship with the powerful Gan River, Ganzhou is named after this river.
The Ganjiang River is the intersection of the Zhangjiang River and the Gongjiang River to form the real Ganjiang River, so the word "gan" means Zuo Zhang and You Gong. The word "赣" has an anti-wen next to it because the word "贑" is a combination of Zhang and Gong. When it appears in official documents, in order to indicate that it is the same word and to prevent ambiguity, "文" The character was placed next to the character "贑" as a superscript, and over time it became the character "赣".
Ganzhou is all Hakka. In 201 BC, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, established Gan County here, which is under the jurisdiction of today's Nanchang. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Ganzhou's name was Qianzhou. During the Song Dynasty, Ganzhou had high mountains, dense forests, and complex terrain. It was one of the areas with the most peasant uprisings. The rulers believed that the character "Qian" with the head of a tiger had an evil spirit. Therefore, it was unanimously decided to remove the tiger head, leaving only the text, and then combined the two characters Zhang and Gong with Wen to form the character Gan, and renamed Qianzhou Ganzhou.
The question of why Ganzhou is called Ganzhou is quite interesting. You can also change the question, that is why Jiangxi is called Ganzhou for short.
The abbreviations of China's provincial administrative regions are sometimes funny. Heilongjiang Province is called Heilongjiang for short because there is a Heilongjiang River;
Just like the Yellow River and the Yangtze River in China, the Ganjiang River with a length of 766 kilometers and a drainage area of ??83,500 square kilometers can be said to be the mother river of Jiangxi. The Ganjiang River has 13 main tributaries. The end of the main stream of the Ganjiang River is Ganzhou, where the Zhangshui River and the Gongshui River meet place.
Ganzhou was originally called Qianzhou. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the school secretary Dong Deyuan believed that the word "Qian" was Hutou, and the name of Qianzhou was "Hutou City". " was not a good name, so the later emperor issued an edict to change Qianzhou to Ganzhou (taking the meaning of the confluence of Zhang and Gong rivers, and retaining the "wen" at the bottom of the word Qian, so it was called Ganzhou). From then on, the name Ganzhou has been passed down. .
Dong Deyuan, who petitioned the emperor to change his name, was the top pick on the Enbang list and his hometown was Liukeng, Le'an County. Today's Liukeng is also a quite famous ancient village.
Qianzhou is another name for Ganzhou in Jiangxi Province. Ganzhou City was built in the Qin and Han Dynasties. It was called Nankang County in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Qianzhou before the Southern Song Dynasty, and Hucheng before Quanzhou. Fierce, so I changed it to the more elegant word "qian". The history of Qianzhou extends from the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang's founding in the Sui Dynasty to the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty, which is the 23rd year of Shaoxing. There are about 500 to 600 years of history in between. Qianzhou has a history of about 500 to 600 years. After the state was later changed to Ganzhou, the name continues to be used to this day, which means people regard it as an alias for Ganzhou. They are very accustomed to calling Ganzhou Qianzhou. Why is Qiancheng Ganzhou called Ganzhou? In fact, the answer can be found on Baidu. , but since you asked the question here, I will answer the question here, I hope you are satisfied.
Ganzhou had many names before it was called Ganzhou, such as Luling County, Nankang County, and even the legendary Of Fuzhou, the ones that have been used for the longest time are Nankang County and Qianzhou, and then finally Ganzhou. It is still used today.
Because of Ganzhou’s special geographical location, connecting the north and the south, with developed waterways, and strong folk customs since ancient times, the Southern Song Dynasty During this period, there were countless peasant uprisings. Yue Fei was respected by the people of Qianzhou for suppressing bandits. After leaving, he left six Yuewang temples in Qianzhou. Wang Yangming of the Ming Dynasty also suppressed bandits in Ganzhou, and Ganzhou was changed from Qianzhou to Qianzhou. Ganzhou was haunted by two events in the Southern Song Dynasty.
The first event was that Queen Mother Longyou was chased by Jin soldiers in 1129 and fled to Qianzhou, where she stayed for four years. For months, I was worried all day long. At that time, the Song Dynasty was divided into pieces by the Jin soldiers. Zhao Gou hid in Wenzhou and called the Central Court. Zhang Jun led his troops to resist the Jin soldiers and called the Qinzhou Court. And the Queen Mother Longyou who fled to Qianzhou was called the Central Court. Of the three courts in Qianzhou, Queen Mother Longyou was more important. In a short period of time, she became the main position of the court. Reinforcements from all over the country rushed to Qianzhou. In a short period of time, there were more than 10,000 Song soldiers, plus the first few hundred people. Which of these courts The eldest brother had made things difficult for the people of Qianzhou because he was a straggler. Although he was guarding the Queen Mother, he acted independently and refused to be disciplined. As a result, there were frequent incidents of people robbing money and food and occupying the houses where they slept. In the end, he drove 20,000 to 30,000 people to Meilin beach next door. This caused serious dissatisfaction among the people of Qianzhou. The last leader named Chen Xin led more than 10,000 people to the south gate of the town to ask for advice. Although the Song soldiers were not good at treating the Jin soldiers, they were still more than capable of treating untrained people. They could shoot with one arrow. Chen Xin died and defeated the common soldiers in Qianzhou, which aroused dissatisfaction among the people in the city. They refused to give food to the Song soldiers and hid them. Empress Dowager Longyou was very frightened in the imperial city and decided to escape from Qianzhou overnight, fearing that she would be attacked by the people in the city. She was chopped into pieces in her sleep. Queen Mother Longyou passed by the Queen Mother Ferry and fled back to Lin'an. She complained to Zhao Gou that Zhao Gou wanted to kill all the people in Qianzhou to vent his anger on the queen mother. At that time, he called Marshal Yue Fei Yue. Yue Fei arrived in Qianzhou. Zhouzhou, knowing the whole story, refused to massacre the city, saved the people of the city, and finally beheaded all the prisoners on death row. He replied to Zhao Gou that the nine tribes implicated in the leader had already made a big mistake, and the people had not made a big mistake. At this time, it was over, but Zhao Gou hated Yue Fei to death because of this.
The second thing is that 23 years after the Queen Mother Longyou incident, in July of the 22nd year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1152), a mutiny occurred in Qianzhou City, and the soldiers all reported Wu Jin, the former commander of the palace, and Ma Sheng, the commander of Jiangxi Province, were killed. Qianzhou City rebelled and established itself, which was known as the Qishu Mutiny in history. In August, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty sent troops to Tian Shizhong, the commander of the Ezhou capital, to attack with Zhang Cheng, the pacifying envoy of Jiangxi, and Li Geng, the commander of the army in front of the palace, You Yi. In September, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty sent Chen Min, commander of the left-wing army, to conduct a crusade. In October, the army successfully attacked Qishu and other rebels, and Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty appointed Chen Min as the magistrate of Qianzhou.
In November, Li Geng invaded Qianzhou City and killed all the rebels. In just four months, he suppressed the rebellion and wiped out the rebels.
These two things attracted the great attention of Emperor Zhao Gou, who specially ordered him to do so. Dong Deyuan changed the name of Qianzhou as soon as possible. Everyone thought that "Qian" was not a good name and "should kill the meaning of Qian". In order to get rid of its undesirable name, "take the meaning of the confluence of Zhang and Gong", so Qianzhou was changed to Ganzhou has been used to this day.
In the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang’s reign in the Sui Dynasty (589), Nankang County was changed to Qianzhou. , after discussion by Zhongshu Sheng and other ministers, they decided to abandon the prefix "tiger" because of the bad luck, and named Ganzhou after taking the meaning of the Zhanggong confluence on both sides of the city. Qianzhou was called Qianzhou for 564 years and Ganzhou for 867 years. There is an allusion that needs to be clarified. The name of Qianzhou comes from Qianhua County in Ningdu, which means Qianhua Water. At that time, Dong Deyuan not only changed Qianzhou to Ganzhou, but also changed it at the same time. Liao Qianhua and Qiannan were also renamed Ningdu and Longnan.
Generally speaking, the name Ganzhou has rich historical and cultural connotations, and roughly covers the three historical evolution processes of a county named for people, a county named for water, and a state named for water.
According to the "Book of Mountains and Seas", Gan giants lived in the early days. Gan County was named after the Gan giants in the Han Dynasty. During the Six Dynasties, Gan County was named Ganshui, Zhangshui and Gongshui. In the 23rd year of Emperor Gaozong's reign in Shaoxing of the Song Dynasty, Qianzhou was renamed Ganzhou because of its name for water.
Welcome to pay attention to "Renwenwengong". For details, please read the article "Quoting the Scriptures and the Authoritative Explanation of the Origin of the Name "Ganzhou"" (/i6724597571106374156/).
The story of Ganzhou’s place names naturally begins with the thousand-mile Ganjiang River. The rolling Ganjiang River runs through Jiangxi like a silver chain, like a mother raising her children. Jiangxi is also referred to as "Gan" because of the Ganjiang River. Thousands of years ago, Ganzhou people built a city at the source of the thousands-mile-long Gan River, forming an indissoluble bond with "Gan". According to relevant literature, there is a river called "Qianhuashui" in Jiangxi, which is now called "Gongjiang River". The ancients named it "Qian", so it was called "Qiancheng". Because the word Qian has the prefix "tiger", it is also known as "Tiger Head City".
During the Song Dynasty, a bizarre mutiny occurred in Ganzhou. Because their superiors frequently mobilized officers and soldiers at will, the dissatisfied Qiancheng garrison gathered more than 7,000 subordinate officers and soldiers, attacked Qianzhou City, and killed boss. When the news reached the capital, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty was furious and immediately sent troops to suppress the rebellion. All officers and soldiers involved in the rebellion were executed. But the rulers had lingering fears. Their superstitious mentality believed that the word "Qian" in Qianzhou had the prefix "tiger", which was unlucky. The tiger head of the word "Qian" was removed, leaving only the word "文" and integrating the names of the two Zhanggong rivers under the city, named "Gan". The two rivers merged into "Gan River", and the water connected the state, hence the name Ganzhou. , still in use today.
Relevant scholars have put forward different opinions and believe that the reverse "wen" of Gan character refers to the giant of Gan. In prehistory, the legend of the "Gan Giant" has been circulating in Jiangxi. According to the "Book of Mountains and Seas", "There is a giant from Gan in the south. It has a human face with long lips, a black body with hair, and inverted heels. It knows when it sees people, and its lips cover its eyes so that it can escape." However, the Gan character appearing here is written as "Zhang Gong", and the "wen" added to "Gong" refers to reverse heel in literature, and also refers to the characteristic reverse heel of the Gan giant. But whether this is the reason why the word "wen" is added to the word "gan" has not yet been specifically verified. Therefore, the former story is the more widely circulated story about the origin of the place name of Ganzhou. This is the origin of the name of Ganzhou.
Let’s go to Songcheng. When you hear this sentence, your first reaction may be to many famous historical cities, but what you definitely don’t expect is Ganzhou, Jiangxi. As the southernmost prefecture-level city in Jiangxi Province, Ganzhou does not seem to be well-known, but the entire Jiangxi Province is exposed to the word "Jiangxi" every day.
Without him, the abbreviation of Jiangxi Province is "gan" and the first word of the license plate is "gan". Jiangxi is called "Jiangxi" because there is a powerful Ganjiang River that flows through Jiangxi Province from south to north. Ganzhou is named after this river. The three tributaries of the Ganjiang River merge in Ganzhou to form the real Ganjiang River.
As the southernmost prefecture-level city in Jiangxi, Ganzhou may not seem well-known, but the whole of Jiangxi is exposed to the word "gan" every day.
Without him, the abbreviation of Jiangxi Province is "gan", and the first character of the license plate is "gan". Jiangxi Province is referred to as "Gan" because the mighty Gan River runs through Jiangxi Province from south to north. Ganzhou is named after its proximity to the river. The three tributaries of the Ganjiang River meet in Ganzhou to form the real Ganjiang River. Ganzhou is the first big city at the source of the Ganjiang River, and is also known as the first city in the thousand-mile Ganjiang River.
Ganzhou first set up administrative divisions in 201 BC, the sixth year of Liu Bang's reign, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. The imperial court established Gan County, which was under the jurisdiction of Yuzhang County (today's Nanchang). At that time, the Western Han Dynasty was in a confrontation with the Nanyue Kingdom, which was separatist in Lingnan, and Ganzhou was a military center that the Western Han Dynasty threatened the Nanyue Kingdom. However, Ganzhou was not obtained, which caused the Nanyue Kingdom to be very passive in the confrontation with the Western Han Dynasty.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Gan County was transferred from Yuzhang County to Luling County (today's Ji'an). In the fifth year of Yonghe, Emperor Mu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in 349 AD, the imperial court transferred Nankang County, which was established in 281 AD, as the seat of government. Moved to Gan County. From then on, Ganzhou became a prefecture-level city for the first time.
Since then, Ganzhou has become a prefecture-level city for the first time. In 589 AD when Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, Nankang County was abolished and Lazong Prefecture was established. Ganzhou was called "Jingqian" in ancient times. Folks, look at what the word “godliness” looks like. The upper body is the same. Ganzhou also has a particularly cute abbreviation - Hutu City. Do you think tiger shoes are sold at temple fairs? In the Tang Dynasty, the area of ??handles was very large, and the area of ??Ganzhou was similar to that of Ganzhou today. In the late Tang Dynasty, the warlords were in chaos, and La Shou came up with a figure who had a great influence on Ganzhou - Lu Guangcong. Lu Guangyong was born in Taizhou in 840 AD.
During the Jiuqu Rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty, Lu Guangcong launched an uprising in Nankang County and occupied Lasong Prefecture, claiming that it was Lashi who lifted the thorns in history. Lu Guangcong was not content with occupying just one country, but also occupied Shaozhou (Shaoguan) and Chaozhou. The Lu Guangcong site is located in the south of Lingnan in the Southern Han Dynasty, in the central part of Chu State in Hunan, Fujian Province, and Yangwu State, and is of great strategic significance. In particular, Yang Wu and the Five Dynasties of the Central Plains were sworn enemies, while Wuyue and Fujian were separated by Yang Wu and it was not safe to go to sea, so they often went south to Ganzhou, passed through Ganzhou to Hunan, and then entered the Central Plains. Lu Guangcong loves the people of Lashkar and develops people's lives. His prestige is very high, and his name is King Lu.
Especially among the Hakka people, Lu Guangcong has a very high status. The late Tang Dynasty was a critical period for the formation of the Hakka people, and Lashan is known as the earliest birthplace of the Hakka ancestors. In view of Lu Guang's importance to Hakka culture, Lu Guangrong was hailed as a Hakka sage. After entering the Song Dynasty, the handle did not change much, but the Nan'an Army (Shangyu, Nankang, and Dayu counties) was cut off from the national territory. The Southern Song Dynasty was changed, and the name of the country was changed. It used to be called Longzhou, commonly known as Hutou City. When Minister Gaozong of the Song Dynasty thought that Hutou City did not sound good, it should be renamed. Emperor Gaozong Zhao of the Song Dynasty renamed it Ganzhou based on the Ganjiang River. In 1153 AD, the 23rd year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, he entered the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ganzhou Road General Office.
Ganzhou was established in the Ming Dynasty. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Nanming organized a large-scale defensive war in Ganzhou. The war of resistance finally failed, but Ganzhou City's bravery earned it the title of Loyal Home. After thousands of years of development, Ganzhou has become a famous city in the south. After visiting China in the early Qing Dynasty, a Dutchman named Niehof wrote a book called "The First Trip to China", in which he mentioned that Ganzhou was one of the most famous cities in China. It can be seen that Ganzhou was so big at that time. Historical changes have changed, and many city walls have been submerged by history. Fortunately, Ganzhou's Song Dynasty city wall is well preserved and is the best-preserved Song City in the country. It is called the Song City Museum.
After the sword, the city wall of Ganzhou in the Song Dynasty still remains 3664 meters long. It is majestic and indeed has the power of a tiger. The streets and alleys of the Song Dynasty were as in the past, with drainage facilities and important military fortifications. What was it, what is it now? Many celebrities from the Song Dynasty came to Ganzhou and said that there was Xin Qiji, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. He had a popular "Bodhisattva Document" Jiangxi Kouqiang "Jiangxi Kouqiang", with the words: Yu Gutai, the Ganjiang Water, how many people are crying in the water? I raised my head I looked at Chang'an in the northwest. Unfortunately, I only saw countless green mountains.
But how could the green mountains block the river? Standing next to the river, I felt sad and heard the sound coming from the mountains. parrot sound.
Yugutai is in the northwest corner of Ganzhou City. In other words, the old saying goes: "But how can the green mountains block the river? The Haohao River finally flows eastward." Born in Ganzhou. A hundred years later, Wen Tianxiang wanted to save the Song Dynasty, and after being captured, he wrote that thing that had been moved for a long time. Wen Tianxiang sighed, saying that he could not save Song Dynasty, and asked himself why he deserved it. Wen Tianxiang organized an anti-Yuan army in Ganzhou because in 1274 AD, Wen Tianxiang was appointed as the husband of Ganzhou.
A hundred years later, Wen Tianxiang tried to save the Song Dynasty but failed. After being captured, he wrote "Crossing the Lingding Ocean" which touched the ages. Wen Tianxiang lamented that he failed to save the Song Dynasty and felt that he had no regrets about the country. Wen Tianxiang organized the anti-Yuan army in Ganzhou, because in 1274 AD, Wen Tianxiang served as the prefect of Ganzhou. Ganzhou, referred to as "Qian", also known as "Qian City", also known as "Gannan", is the southern gate of Jiangxi Province and the largest and most populous district city in Jiangxi Province.
Ganzhou has a long history of forming administrative districts. Ganzhou City is the first big city at the source of the Ganjiang River and is also known as the first city on the Ganjiang River. The first administrative division of Ganzhou was established in the sixth year of Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty. In 201 BC, the court established Gan County, which was subordinate to Yuzhang County (today's Nanchang).
At that time, the Western Han Dynasty was in confrontation with South Vietnam under the separatist regime. Ganzhou was the military stronghold of the Western Han Dynasty that threatened the South Vietnamese country, but Ganzhou did not threaten Ganzhou, resulting in a very passive confrontation between South Vietnam and the Western Han Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Gan County was moved from Yuchang County to Luling County (today's Ji'an). In Yonghe, Mudi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the court of Nankang County was moved to Gan County in 281 AD. Since then, Ganzhou has become a prefecture-level city for the first time. In 589 AD when Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, Nankang County was abolished and Lazong Prefecture was established. Ganzhou was called "Jingqian" in ancient times. Folks, look at what the word “godliness” looks like. Ganzhou, which has the same upper body, also has a particularly cute abbreviation - Hutu City. In the fifth year of Wu Jiahe in the Three Kingdoms Period (236), an administrative agency equivalent to the municipal level was established - Luling Southern Duwei.
The Song Dynasty was divided into two administrative regions, Nan'an and Ganzhou, referred to as "Nangan" . Because it is located in the upper reaches of the Ganjiang River and the south of Jiangxi Province, it was also commonly known as "Southern Gansu" since it was successively established to patrol Gannan Road and South Gansu Road during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, a minister thought that Hutou City sounded unpleasant and should be renamed. Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, changed the name to Ganzhou in 1153 AD, the 23rd year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, based on the flow of the Gan River.
Ganzhou is named after its proximity to the river. The three tributaries of the Ganjiang River meet in Ganzhou to form the real Ganjiang River. . Ganzhou is the first big city at the source of the Ganjiang River, and is also known as the first city in the thousand-mile Ganjiang River.
After Qianzhou was later changed to Ganzhou, this name continues to be used to this day, which means that people regard it as an alias for Ganzhou, and they are accustomed to calling Ganzhou Qianzhou and Qiancheng.
In the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty (589), Ganzhou changed Nankang County to Qianzhou, which was called Qianzhou in ancient times. It had many names before it was called Ganzhou, and its administrative destination also had many divisions. For example, it belonged to Luling County. Yuzhang County, Jiujiang County, and Nankang County. Among them, Nankang County and Qianzhou were used for the longest time. Then, after the name was changed in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was Ganzhou. It has been used to this day.
Ganzhou
The first theory is the topography theory. Because the terrain of Jiangxi is high in the southeast and low in the northwest, the five main rivers in the province all merge into the Ganjiang River from the southeast to the northwest. Ganzhou is located in the upper reaches of the Ganjiang River, so it is called Ganzhou.
The second theory is a record of historical evolution, because Ganzhou’s important geographical location is the strategic hub of Guangdong and Jiangxi, connecting the north and south, with smooth waterways. However, because of the high mountains and dense forests in southern Ganzhou, the people have not been afraid of officials since ancient times and have a tough nature. During the Southern Song Dynasty, due to the need to fight against the Jin Dynasty, the Queen Mother of the Southern Song Dynasty fled and led the army into Qiancheng. First, the city had insufficient food and grass supplies and competed with the people for profit, triggering numerous peasant uprisings. The Southern Song Dynasty court ordered Yue Fei to quell the rebellion. He was praised by the people of Qianzhou for his consideration for the people. , Wang Yangming of the Ming Dynasty also suppressed bandits in Ganzhou, which shows that weapons and weapons continued for years, which triggered the story of the city's name being changed in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Yue Fei Temple
The specific story is as follows: In 1129 of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Queen Mother of the Song Dynasty was chased by the Jin soldiers and fled to Qianzhou for several months. The soldiers were divided, and reinforcements from all over the Song Dynasty rushed to Qianzhou. In a short period of time, there were more than 10,000 Song soldiers. Together with the urban residents at the beginning, the food supply was too much for the people of Qianzhou. A man named Chen Xin came forward to ask for advice. Chen was The soldiers of the Song Dynasty shot him to death with an arrow, leaving the people with no food and grass. Empress Dowager Longyou fled back to Lin'an under the cover of night, and later ordered Yue Fei to send troops to attack the unruly people of Qianzhou. This is a thing.
Ganzhou Song Ancient City
The second thing is that in July of the 22nd year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, another mutiny occurred in Qianzhou City. The soldiers killed the generals and rebelled against the government and established themselves. This was called Qi. Describe the mutiny. Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty sent troops to successfully attack Qishu and other rebels.
Jianchun Gate in Ganzhou
After two incidents, Emperor Zhao Gou was alerted and must suppress the civil uprising. Everyone thinks that the bad thing about Qianzhou's renaming is that the character "Qian" is the head of a tiger, which has a strong murderous aura. In order to get rid of its ominous name, "taking the auspiciousness of the confluence of two rivers, Zhang and Gong", the tiger head was removed and a crown was left, which is in line with the ominous name. Zhang, Gong and Wen were combined and changed from Qian to Gan. According to historical records, Qianzhou was called Qianzhou for 564 years and Ganzhou was called for 867 years. After hundreds of years of development, Ganzhou has become a famous city in southern China. In the early Qing Dynasty, there was a Dutchman named Niehof. He visited China in the early Qing Dynasty and wrote a book "A First Visit to China". The book mentioned that Ganzhou is the most famous city in China, which can be proved. After many vicissitudes of history, many city walls have been obliterated by history. It is a blessing that the Song Dynasty City Wall in Ganzhou has been well preserved!

Dong Deyuan also changed the names of Qianhua and Qiannan to Ningdu and Longnan, which means tranquility and grace from the emperor. Since then, Ganzhou has been using it to this day. This is the name of Ganzhou. origin!
The second largest city in Jiangxi Province is located in the southernmost part of Jiangxi Province. Gannan is located in the upper reaches of the Gan River and in the south of Jiangxi. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, Gannan Road and Gannan Road were successively established. Dao, so it is commonly known as Gannan; because the Song Dynasty was divided into two administrative regions, Nan'an and Qian (Gan) Prefecture, it was called Nangan for short; because Nankang County was renamed Qian Prefecture in the 9th year of Kaihuang's reign (589) in the Sui Dynasty, it was also called Qian Prefecture; Southern Song Dynasty In the 23rd year of Shaoxing (1153), the word "Qian" was used as Hutou, and Qianzhou was named "Hutou City". It was not a good name, so the imperial edict was issued to change Qianzhou to Ganzhou, taking the meaning of the confluence of Zhang and Gong rivers, and the name of Ganzhou began. Here it is. Some people say that it got its name because of the "Jiang giant in the south" recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas. The word "Zhanggong" plus the word "wen" of humanities is the word "gan".
