What does red cliff mean?

Chibi, located in the northwest of chibi city, Hubei Province, is the ancient battlefield of Battle of Red Cliffs. The word "Chibi" is located in the hanging rock by the Jitou River in Chibi, 38 kilometers south of the city. "Hubei Tongzhi" contains the word "Chibi" in Jitou, Linjiang, Chibi Mountain, which is said to be written by Zhou Yu.

According to legend, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang was the son of Chi Di. His snake-cutting uprising laid the foundation of the Han Dynasty for 400 years. Although he followed the Qin system, he had his own set of rules in naming place names. At that time, this rule was based on yin and yang, five elements and twenty-eight nights to determine the location. Red is the best color.

In the sixth year of Emperor Gaozu, Meichi, the county magistrate, began to inspect the mountains and rivers in China and found many unknown place names, so he ordered people to take a batch of place names according to the imperial edict.

At that time, the imperial court deduced from the gold, wood, water, fire and earth of Yin and Yang, matched the starry sky with the ground, and took the ground Kyushu as the goal, each with its own meaning, and separated the stars. According to the star field, Shaxian is between the wings of Southeast Suzaku.

According to legend, Sun and Liu joined forces with the help of the wind on the 13th day of winter in the 13th year of Jian 'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 208), and the fire broke out, killing 260,000 soldiers and horses of Cao Cao. Wu Dong and Liu Bei pushed their way to Nanjun, and Cao Cao led down archers north to Yecheng. Zhou Yu's army played a triumphant song, returned to Chibi, and held a victory banquet on the ship of the DuDu Department to celebrate with wine.

Drunk, he drew his sword and danced while singing, saying, "Facing the Red Cliff, defeating Cao Gong, and setting it in Jiangdong, this scene is full of praise, engraved with two words, and made great contributions." After the Song Dynasty, the sword was engraved with the word "Chibi" on the cliff. This sword is engraved with Chung Shan Man. It is said that the word "Chibi" was written backwards in Lushan Mountain, Jiangxi Province.

Position dispute:

The Location and Controversy of Battle of Red Cliffs: For hundreds of years, there have been many discussions about the location of the Battle of Chibi in chibi city, which was called "New Battle of Red Cliffs" by the media.

Generally speaking, there are at least seven kinds of "Red Cliff Theory": Puyin Theory, Huangzhou Theory, Zhongxiang Theory, Wuchang Theory, Hanyang Theory, Hanchuan Theory and Jiayu Theory. From the modern and contemporary point of view, the focus of the debate is between Pu Yin's theory and Jiayu's theory, while historical publications and evidence of discovered cultural relics are more inclined to Pu Yin's theory.
