The origin of place names

In the ninth year of Baota in the Southern Tang Dynasty (95 1), Yi 'an County was changed to Tongling County, and the county administration was moved from Shun 'an to Gutongguan Town, which is now Wusong Town in Yi 'an District. At this point, the place name of Tongling appeared for the first time in history. There is no formal written record about the origin of the word "Tongling".

There are three kinds of views: first, the theory of "producing copper mountain", so the real estate copper is also a hilly area, hence the name; Second, "copper production originally belonged to Nanling", so it was named "Tongling"; Third, "the copper land originally belonged to Lingyang", and Tongling area belonged to Chungu County and Lingyang County of Danyang County in the Han Dynasty, taking the mausoleum of Lingyang as Tongling.
