Fortune telling near Jia county

The last article was about Paoliang Town in Anqing, Anhui Province, because I thought this place name was "Paoliang" and wanted to change it to another place name. In fact, there are many towns whose place names are even more bizarre than Paoliang Town, such as Zhongtou Town, jia county, Pingdingshan City, Henan Province, which will be mentioned today.

When the word "tomb" is pronounced as "clock", it means tomb. Simply put, the head of a tomb means a grave. In China's artistic conception, everything about death is taboo. Place names like the first of the month make people feel a little scared. Why didn't the town change its name?

Zhong tou zhen has a long history and was founded in the Han Dynasty. The place name of Qiutou is not taken casually, but related to the grave. Legend has it that after the death of Ji Bo, the mother of Emperor Wendi, Emperor Wendi buried her here according to her mother's living intention, and built a guard yard to send someone to protect her. Because of their prominent position, a large number of people come to pay their respects every year. With more and more people coming here, some people took a fancy to the business opportunities, opened shops next to the tomb and gradually formed a market. Because it is in front of the tomb, it is named "Tomb Head".

Hours Town has a long history of development and is one of the larger towns in Jiaxian County. It was once called "little shanghai". Because of its profound cultural heritage, this town has been selected as a famous historical and cultural town in China. Hours Town has Jixin Tomb, Ji Bo Tomb, He Lan Seven-hole Stone Bridge, Shiyuan Ancient Battlefield and other places of interest.

One possible reason why Hours Town didn't change its name is that this place name has a history of more than two thousand years. Although the place is called "Tutou", this tomb is related to the royal family in history and has different meanings. Assuming that it is only the burial head of ordinary people, it should be abandoned. The burial head of ordinary people will not form a market town at first, so it seems accidental, but it is inevitable.

The second reason is that "burial" is an uncommon word, and many people can't understand it, let alone know its meaning. For many people, it has nothing to do with the grave.
