What is the nickname of Shanghai's place name?

The place name of Shanghai is also called Shanghai.

Shanghai belonged to the State of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period. The Warring States period belonged to Yue State and Chu State successively. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Shanghai Beach was the fief of Shen Jun, the king of Chu, so it was called "Shen". In the Jin Dynasty, because fishermen created a fishing tool "Hu", the place where the river flowed into the sea was called "Hu", so the lower reaches of Songjiang were called "Hu", and later it was changed to "Hu", so Shanghai was called "Shanghai" for short.

In the tenth year of Tang Tianbao (AD 75 1 year), Shanghai belonged to Huating County (now Songjiang District). In the second year of Chunhua in the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 99 1 year), due to the continuous shallow siltation in the upper reaches of Songjiang, the coastline moved eastward, and it was inconvenient for large ships to get in and out, so foreign ships had to berth at Shanghai Pu, a tributary of Songjiang (Huangpu River near the Bund to Shiliupu today).

In the third year of Xianchun in the Southern Song Dynasty (AD 1267), he set up a town in Shanghai Puxi Bank, named "Shanghai Town". In the 29th year of Yuan Dynasty (AD 1292), the central government set aside Shanghai Town from Huating County and approved the establishment of Shanghai County, marking the beginning of the establishment of Shanghai.

Extended data:

Another word for "Shanghai" says that "Shanghai" was originally a fishing tool, woven from bamboo. Local people insert this tool into rivers and seas, and the tide sinks and ebbs. Fish came with the tide and were stopped by "Shanghai" when the tide ebbed.

In ancient times, the trumpet-shaped channel was called "blasphemy" At that time, the Songjiang estuary where Shanghai was located was a trumpet-shaped bay. Therefore, people call the area around Songjiang Estuary "blasphemy", and there are "Shanghai" everywhere, which is called "Hublasphemy".

And this area is where Shanghai is. Therefore, "Shanghai blasphemy" has also become synonymous with Shanghai. There are also records on the stone tablets of Liang and Liang that "under Songjiang, it is called the Lake Capital". Later, "Shanghai blasphemy" was called "Shanghai" for short.

"Shen" is related to Huang Xie, a state of Chu, which was sealed here during the Warring States Period. Huang Xie was one of the famous "Four Childes" in the Warring States Period, whose name was Chun Shen Jun. At that time, Huangpu River was still an unnamed river, because of sediment deposition, the riverbed was high and often flooded.

Huang Xie led the people to dredge and build dams, so that the river could benefit the people. In memory of him, people renamed the river Shenjiangquan, or Jiang Shen for short. Later, people called Shanghai "Shen".
