“历阳”“和州”考释

Interpretation of Liyang and Hezhou

"历阳"一词,最早见于司马迁的《史记》。历阳应是战国时楚国的县,秦汉时为九江郡武装驻地,东汉时为扬州治所。其名有县名、郡名、镇名、城名等含义。"和州"一词最早见于唐李伯药的《北齐书》、李延寿的《北史》。齐梁在历阳会盟,二国和协,故名和州。其名有州名、郡名、路名、直隶和州名、州城名等含义。文章详细考证历阳、和州建置与沿革,指出《辞源》《辞海》关于历阳和州记载的一些错误和疏漏之处。

The name of “ Liyang” was first found in Sima Qian5 s Historical Records.
