标题：侯马为什么叫侯马
文章：
侯马，位于中国山西省临汾市西南部，是一个具有悠久历史和丰富文化遗产的城市。关于侯马这个名字的由来，有着丰富的历史背景和民间传说。以下是对侯马名称由来的一些研究和解释。
侯马名字的由来与晋国历史密切相关。根据《史记》记载，晋国在春秋时期是一个非常强大的诸侯国，其国君被封为侯。而“马”字在古代汉语中有着繁荣昌盛的寓意。因此，侯马的名字可以理解为“晋侯繁荣昌盛之地”。
更具体地说，侯马得名于晋国的侯爵封地。在春秋时期，晋国有一个名叫马邑的地方，后来因为晋国国君的封号“侯”，这个地方便被命名为“侯马”。后来，随着历史的变迁，马邑逐渐发展成为今天的侯马市。
此外，侯马的名称也与古代的军事战略有关。侯马地处晋国西南边境，是古代防御北方游牧民族侵扰的重要军事要塞。因此，“侯马”在军事上也有着重要的意义。
