Appendix I: Origin of Some Place Names in Huang Huai

Hecun Hecun, alias "Sanxi", is named after the confluence of Baolong, Huang Huai and Shuangxia rivers. Because Sanxi is surrounded by vast paddy fields and fertile soil, it is a high rice producing area in Huang Huai, so it is named Hecun.

Huangxi, also known as Huangshaxi, is named because there are many yellow sands in the small rivers in the village.

Baolong is called "Baolong" because of its special basin shape, like a "dragon", and rich in coal, iron, tungsten, copper and other minerals. Today it is divided into three villages: Baofeng, Shangbaolong (Lianxin) and Xiabaolong (Hongguang).

At an altitude of 800 meters, the top of Zhangding (the mountain name, the actual height is 799 meters above sea level) stands at the northeast end, with a slightly lower narrow basin in the middle. People used to think it was a deserted land, so it was named "decadence". Later, it was developed and initially prospered, and it was renamed "Xincun".

Shuangxia was originally named "Shuangxi", which means 1 village where the furnace path and the double-headed brook meet. Because it is located under Shuangtou Village, it was renamed "Shuangxia".
