Hello everyone, I am Luo Li, let me answer.
Before I answer, let me tell you a story.
There is a small village in Jilin Province called "Lengpeng". In fact, it was originally called "Longpeng". Later, after calling it for a long time, it gradually became a "cold shed". So where did the name "Longpeng" come from?
A long time ago, there was a severe drought in the village, and the crops were about to wither. People's lives are also very difficult. There was a dragon who couldn't bear to see the people having nothing to gain, so he made it rain. Later, in order to commemorate the dragon, the villagers named the village "Longpeng".
This story is very interesting. People who study toponymy may be able to glean a subtle connection between the evolution of certain place names and legends.
Can we guess that one day in ancient times, two ducks descended from the sky and helped people solve their difficulties in life, so people named them to commemorate these two ducks. It is Shuangya Mountain. (Pure nonsense)
Of course, this is my guess. The more orthodox saying is that Shuangya Mountain originally had two mountains that looked very similar to the peaks of Lying Duck, so it was named Shuangya Mountain. For some reasons, these two mountains no longer look like ducks.
This statement is not surprising. There are many such mountains in China.
Hubei Camel Peak
Jiangxi Longhu Mountain Turtle Peak
Of course Shuangyashan is not the only city named after an animal. The same is true for Baoji in Shaanxi, Zhumadian in Henan, and Jiulong Mountain.
It is said that the name Baoji has appeared since the Tang Dynasty. The reason why it was named Baoji is because people think that chicken has the meaning of auspiciousness.
Zhumadian in Henan is probably the city that has been ridiculed the most by the public. If the cities were ranked by name, it should be on the list. In ancient times. Zhumadian is a post station and an important city for transportation and communications. Later, over time it was called Zhumadian.
It can be seen that some cities in my country named after animals are either derived from ancient legends, or are due to other reasons such as commemorating certain people or things.
Shuangya Mountain is named after two peaks that resemble lying ducks in the northeast of the city. But the two duck-shaped stones have been blown away, and the original site is now an abandoned quarry. Shuangyashan includes four counties and four districts. The four districts are Jianshan District, Lingdong District, Sifangtai District and Baoshan District. The four counties are Jixian County, Baoqing County, Youyi County and Raohe County.

It is said that two magical ducks from the sky came down to play, lingered here, and finally turned into stone peaks, hence the name Shuangya Mountain!
Shuangyashan City is a typical resource-based city. Coal is the main resource, and the entire government revolves around coal! The coal industry is currently in a slump, and many coal mines are not profitable, so the entire city is not prosperous now. Many people have gone to "Chongguanli"!
As for the Shuangyashan University story, it can only be said to be an accident! Shuangyashan City is just a small and remote city in the Northeast. As for whether it is good or not, the beholder has his own opinion! Everyone is welcome to experience it!
Entering Shuangya Mountain from the direction of Welfare is on the east side of Cuifeng Mountain, and there is an isolated mountain on the north side of Yunfeng Mountain. There are two adjacent cliffs at the northern foot of the mountain. It is a landmark terrain that can be seen dozens of kilometers away in the south of Sanjiang Plain. The predecessors who developed the Fuhua mining area named him Shuangyashan and used it to name the new mining area. Later, when we reported it to the country, because we have the Jixi Mining Area to the east and the Hegang Mining Area to the west, they were both named after birds. The Fuhua Mining Area was also named Shuangyashan with the homophonic meaning of birds. These two landmark cliffs have been damaged by quarrying during urban construction in the 1960s and 1970s. The city government is planning to invest heavily in restoring them to their original appearance in the near future.
My childhood memory is that because there are two mountains that look like two ducks, they were named Shuangya Mountain, but I have never seen these two mountains. It is said that the quarry was blown up.
The memes about Shuangyashan University are really funny. When I saw it for the first time, I really thought that there is a university in Shuangyashan. It is so famous that everyone in the country knows it. , then I took a closer look and it turned out to be like this, haha
A long time ago...
There were two ducks...
Later they...
Eh hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha~
Listen to the elders , Shuangyashan is because of the two mountains in the form of a duck. It was considered a landmark in those days, hence its name. Shuangyashan City had ten major state-owned coal mines during its prosperity, including Lingdong, Lingxi, Jixian, Sifangtai, Baoshan, and Dongbaoshan. , Qixing, Xin'an, Shuangyang, Dongrong, currently coal resources are exhausted,
Mainly because of a pair of "lying duck" peaks in the north of the urban area that were named Shuangya Mountain with a long history. Qixing Altar Heritage Park and Fenglin Ancient City Heritage Park, located on the north and south banks of the Qixing River, were the birthplace of the Yilou people, ancestors of the Manchu people during the Han and Wei dynasties two thousand years ago, and the third largest ancient city in the history of Heilongjiang. (Of course, there are also myths and legends. )
I don’t know how Shuangya Mountain got its name, but I know how Mudanjiang got its name. It turns out that Mudanjiang was a large tributary of Songhua River as early as the Jurchens’ time. Han nationality, a tribe set up camp in the Mudanjiang River Basin and continued to breed offspring for a long time. Because it was in the Mudanjiang River Basin, it was named Mudanjiang.
