摘要

LION-shaped Yiyang City is to the south of Dongting Lake in north-central Hunan Province. The Zijiang River runs through the city from west to east, dividing it into two, and emptying into Dongting Lake. The Zishui Highway Bridge links the areas north and south of the river.In ancient times the Zijiang River was called Yishui. As at that timeany place situated on the northern bank of a river was referred to as yang, and Yiyang was on the northern bank of what was then the Yishui River, hence its name.
