Etymology
The meaning of Xuyi is debatable, and there are two major accounts. For one: sited on the top of a hill, the ancient city afforded an extensive view of the vicinity. In the ancient Chinese, "xu" means have one's eyes opened wide, while "yu" means look straight ahead.[2] Thus, it was named after Xuyi, the posture of looking out.[3] For another, it was named after Xuyi, an eastern hill outside the city.[4]
History
This county was previously administered by Anhui province. When the ancient city of Sizhou whelmed in the Hongze Lake, its seat was transferred to the county in 1680 and then to the current seat of Si County in 1777.
For the sake of managing the Hongze Lake, Xuyi was annexed to Jiangsu in 1955, along with Sihong.[5]
Historical sites
A famous local site are the ruins of the Ming Ancestors' Mausoleum (明祖陵; Míngzǔlíng), built by the first Ming emperor Zhu Yuanzhang in honor of his ancestors who lived here.
The mausoleum site was flooded ca. 1680, when the Yellow River changed its course, merged with the Huai River, and the Hongze Lake appeared. (The nearby Ming-era city of Sizhou (泗州) was completely flooded by the same lake as well). In the 1960s, the lake waters receded; the stone figures of the mausoleum's Spirit way were subsequently recovered from the mud and re-erected. (33°5′7″N 118°28′18″E)[6]
