In the Tang and Song dynasties, Honour a feudal ruler (formerly known as Kuizhou (a county in Sichuan Province) The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River under its control is already the most prosperous in southern China Traffic corridor Through the interpretation and dissemination of numerous Tang and Song poems, "Mount Kuizhou" (that is, the Three Gorges Wushan Mountain in Tang and Song Dynasties) has become the most famous "Wushan Mountain" in later China. The geographical meaning of "Wushan" mountain range in China is based on the ancient Fengjie Kuizhou Scope definition . The ancient Fengjie is the highest political, economic and cultural center in the Three Gorges area after Sui and Tang dynasties. In this sense, the ancient history and culture of the Three Gorges, including Wushan culture, actually refers to the traditional "Kui Zhou" of the ancient Fengjie Witch culture (i.e. Kui Witch) ".
However, China Ancient times Poems and poems The "Wushan" in the "Wushan", in addition to the specific realism of geography, most of the time only "general", pure freehand, not to specifically refer to where the Wushan.

Make love to sb The allusion, implicitly expressing a feeling to the depths of the vicissitudes of loneliness, is not to specify where the Wushan Mountain, not to mention the mountain in Wushan County today.

A surname According to Jiangling, the meeting in the south of the river, relying on the strength of Wushan Mountain, built fortress and held fast, calling Wu and Chu, and south of Changsha would be swept by the wind." At this time, "Wushan" was only geographical, referring to the entire Three Gorges area of the Yangtze River.
In fact, in the Han Dynasty, the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River were all called Wushan. The Three Kingdoms Then the "segment" naming began again, but the name is different and not fixed. As... Water channel "Guangxi Gorge (today Qutang Gorge), Wu Gorge (today Wu Gorge), Xiling Gorge (present Xiling Gorge) "; Li Daoyuan " Water flows through the river Fishing song:" Badong Three Gorges Wu Gorge long, apes singing three tears ", meaning (Fengjie) Padong There are three gorges, of which Wu Gorge is the longest; The sound of the ape singing makes you cry. " The Story of Jingzhou "Wu Gorge (today Qutang Gorge), Zigui Gorge (today Wu Gorge), Guixiang Gorge (today Xiling Gorge)"; During the Song Dynasty, it was called "Xixia (present-day Qutang Gorge), Wuxia (present-day Wuxia), Guixia (present-day Xiling Gorge)"; Until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was fixed for today's Three Gorges general name: Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge, Xiling Gorge. The first person to call the mountains in the Wuxia section of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River "Wushan" "Wushan" has never been to the south The Northern Wei Dynasty (535-544) Li Daoyuan, whose Water Classics · River water Note: "The river follows the east path of the Gorge Sinbung beach ,...... Below it lies Dawu Mountain......" . As for the Three Gorges area has "Wushan County" county name time is even later, after the Sui Dynasty, has been along the history.
As for the common allusion of "Wushan Clouds and rain" in Chinese literature, it comes from Song Yu 's Gao Tang Fu Originally referred to Wushan Mountain in Yunmeng, Hubei Province, after Wei and Jin dynasties, because of the confusion of place names, Zhang Guanli became the legend of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.
