Jincheng is where we live. Are you interested in the origin of its name? I think I should know. The history of Jincheng is very complicated, and it has had many names, such as Gaodu, Jianzhou, Zezhou, Danchuan, Fengtai, etc. Historically, Jincheng has always been the name of the entire jurisdiction of the current urban area and Zezhou County, that is to say, it is the name of a county. It was not until 1985 that Jincheng became a national city-governed county pilot project and was promoted to a prefecture-level city. From then on, strictly speaking, Jincheng became the common name of the five southern counties we often call, and the original Jincheng County was divided into urban area and Zezhou County. To go a long way, let’s put aside the changes in Jincheng’s jurisdiction and just talk about the origin of its name. The name Jincheng first appeared in the third year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty. It was named Jincheng because during the Warring States Period, the three families of Wei, Han and Zhao were divided into Jin, and the king of Jin moved here to worship here. After the Tang Dynasty, the name Jincheng was abandoned for a time. In the Qing Dynasty, it was called Fengtai County (this is also the origin of the names of Fengtai Street, Fengtai Hotel, and Fengtai Community in the current urban area). It was not until the third year of the Republic of China that it was named Fengtai County in Anhui Province. The district was renamed Jincheng County. If there are any discrepancies in the above, please correct me!
