What does "Shiqian" mean? The collocation of two words, one representing matter and the other representing numbers, seems somewhat puzzling. Why did Shiqian evolve? What was it called before? Why do you want to use this as the dividing line of place names? According to historical records, there was no Yelang County or Yelang County in Shiqian history, which was considered by many as the early capital of the ancient Yelang Kingdom. Why can't you see the shadow of Yelang from the current place name?
To make this clear, we have to go back and trace the history of Shiqian as the past and the changes of place names. It is not difficult to find such a record: "Shiqian belonged to the south of Jingzhou in ancient times, and Yelang County was located in this county in the 28th year of Ying Zheng (2 19) (there were six counties in Guizhou at that time).
Only after Shiqian was used as the land of Yelang County was it named "Yelang", which was divided into Yelang County and Nanqi County. It belongs to Yangming county; In order to remember the two states of Guizhou, Wude set up Yiquan County in Yizhou, Yining County, Sizhou (where Shiqian County is now located), followed by Yelang County, Shenquan County, Fengle County and Suiyang County in Zhenguan four years, and set up Yiquan County in Shangxian County, the capital of Guizhou (now Shiqian Benzhuang and Hebachang). Fu Song is a prisoner of Yizhou; Yuan's lawsuit against the military and civilians; In the 11th year of Yongle, the government was established. Chinese name of Shiqian: Yelang; Stone.
