Heshun Ancient Town was formerly known as 'Yangwendun', a small border town. Due to a river outside the old town, it was renamed 'River Shun'. Later, to imply 'gentlemen in harmony and people well-disposed', it was elegantly changed to its current name.
This is the explanation from Baidu Baike.
I don't know if it's correct.
There was a resistance war drama that Huai Xu really liked called 'My Group Leader My Regiment'. He watched it many times, and it was filmed right in this place. The Chanda County in the drama was essentially Heshun. It was this drama that brought a lot of fame to the area. Although 'Group Leader' wasn't as popular or as widely loved as the one Brother Nan liked, 'Bright Sword', it indeed had a lot of loyal fans. Many people traveled long distances to this place just for the drama, looking for those scenes in their memories.
Even now, it remains a quiet place.
