During the Zhou Dynasty, Xiapi State was subordinate to Xu State. In order to strengthen the rule of Xiapi, Zhou Wang granted Gong Peng to Pengcheng. Gong Peng is a gourmet who is good at cooking chicken soup with a tripod. When he was an official in Xu, he found many birds flying around Xiapi area, which not only caused certain disasters to food crops, but also affected people's normal life. In order to call on people to eat birds to get rid of their harm, Gong Peng began to study the best way to eat birds, and found that the soup made from birds was particularly delicious. Especially after personally eating for a period of time, Gong Peng felt strong, his face changed greatly and he was full of energy. Therefore, it is concluded that ostriches have the effects of diet therapy, nourishing and beautifying. So, I decided to quickly recommend this nourishing secret recipe-"bird soup" to Zhou Wang.
On this day, Gong Peng came to the Zhou Palace in Luoyang, the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties, with his carefully cooked bird soup and meat. As it happens, Zhou Wang is in poor health and is taking medicated diet to recuperate. It's a long drought, so Gong Peng seized the opportunity to introduce to Zhou Wang in detail that this bird soup has many therapeutic effects such as nourishing and beautifying. Zhou Wang couldn't wait to eat nutritious food that was beneficial to his recovery when he heard that Gong Peng had sent it. After tasting it, Zhou Wang really found it delicious. The more he ate it, the more his appetite opened and increased. And while drinking soup with relish, he praised again and again: "beauty! Beautiful! It tastes delicious! What is this made of? " Gong Peng immediately replied, "Birds did it." Zhou Wang, who has had no appetite for many days, finally had a hearty meal.
The officials of the Zhou royal family watched it with relish. When King Zhou also told them to taste it separately, they clapped their hands in surprise! Hu Qi: "It's delicious!" One of the officials licked his tongue and sighed from the heart: "If there was such soup, the word' fresh' should not be synthesized with' fish' and' sheep'." All officials praised the beauty of Gong Peng's fiefs. When King Zhou asked him about the origin and living habits of the hundred birds, he introduced in detail: "The hundred birds mainly live in Shapi country, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the products are rich, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, especially on the water system of Shapi country where the tributaries originating from the Central Plains Gorge pass, which is the most suitable place for the hundred birds to inhabit and multiply, and there are scenes of grass growing and warblers flying everywhere ... Don't follow me to enjoy it." So, Gong Peng accompanied Zhou Wang on a cruise ship, along the water system that originated in Daliang (now Kaifeng City, Henan Province), passed through Henan Province, and then passed through Anhui Province, heading for Piguo.
Zhou Wang entered the land of Xiapi, and sure enough, he saw trees on both sides of the river, nesting everywhere; Looking up at the sky again, flocks of birds spread their wings and flew, playing and chasing, some with beautiful feathers, some with short tails, fat bodies and extremely handsome. Sure enough, coming here is like coming to heaven! At this time, Zhou Wang was in a good mood and very comfortable. He said with emotion: "Seeing here, there are birds everywhere!" Then, he thought for a moment and said to himself, "eyes are also eyes." Wei, the short tail of a bird. Didn't' wood' and' Wei' synthesize the word' Sui'? Birds that grow here should be called "birds without opinions"! This water system should also be called "Suishui", which is the most accurate! " Gong Peng, a man with extraordinary wisdom, immediately echoed: "Yes! Yes! Your majesty is right! This water system should be called "old water"; The river where the Sui River flows through the skin is called "Heqiao River" by the locals, and it should be renamed "Hesui River"! Since then, there have been the original names of "Suishui" and "He Sui". Later, on the water system leading to Pizhou from Kaifeng, Henan, a tributary of the Grand Canal, there were only two place names, namely, Suiyang, Henan (now Shangqiu, Henan) and Suixi, Anhui. At that time, the lower reaches of Suishui River in Jiangsu Province mostly belonged to the cone-shaped area of water town Zeguo. The county in the early Han Dynasty was named Suiling County. Later, due to the continuous flooding of the Yellow River, the "Suishui" water system was silted up and destroyed, and the people suffered severe floods, forced to be displaced and looked forward to peace. Therefore, it was renamed Suining County on 12 18.
