济南新概念装饰

为什么叫济南？原来古代有一条大河，发源于河南王屋山，从山东半岛入海，名叫济水。古时候济水、黄河、淮河、长江并称中国四大江河。后来，济水上游发生变化，下游叫大清河，但仍称为济水。清咸丰五年（1855年）黄河在河南铜挖厢决口改道，河水流入大清河夺河床入海，以后并称为黄河。济水的名称也就没有了。现济南北郊的黄河，就是古代的大清河，用的就是济水的旧河床。因为济南这个地方在济水之南，所以从汉朝起，这个地方就叫济南。 The Origin of the Name of Jinan Why is the city called Jinan? In ancient times, a river named Ji Shui originated from Wangwu Mountain in Henan and flowed into the sea at Shandong Peninsula. At that time, Ji Shui, the Yellow River, the Huaihe River and the Changjiang River were the four biggest rivers in China. Later, the upper reaches of Ji Shui changed and the lower reaches were named Daqing River, but it was still called Ji Shui. In the fifth year of Xianfeng Period of the Qing Dynasty (in 1855), the Yellow River at Tongwaxiang of Henan burst and changed its course. Water flooded into Daqing River, occupied its riverbed and flowed into the sea. It was called the Yellow River afterwards. The name of Ji Shui disappeared. Today, the Yellow River in the north suburbs of Jinan is the Daqing River in the past which is flowing on the old waterbed of Ji Shui. Jinan is located to the south of Ji Shui, so, it has been called Jinan.(“nan”, in Chinese, means South) since the Han Dynasty.
