The origin of Baoan

"Baoan, Baoan, Debao is safe"

Bao 'an has Baoshan, which is "safe and secure".

There was a book in the Ming Dynasty that said: "He who gets his treasure is safe, and he who is healthy is also.

"Baoan" has its own name in history and contains auspicious meaning.

This "Baoshan" is located in Zhangmutou Town, Dongguan City.

There was a book in the Song Dynasty: Bao 'an "There are treasures in the mountains, which are famous for boiling silver.

"So, this' treasure' is actually a silver mine.

As a county name, "Baoan" has a history of 1670 years from the Eastern Jin Dynasty in 33 1 year.

In 33 1 year, a county was established in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which governed six counties, including Shenzhen, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, parts of Dongguan, southern Panyu County and Zhongshan City.

This is the beginning of the establishment of county and county-level administrative institutions in Shenzhen, and it is also the beginning of Shenzhen's urban history.

Since the mid-Tang Dynasty, Shenzhen has been subordinate to Dongguan County. After all, it is far away and beyond the scope of governance. Shenzhen and Hong Kong were often harassed by Japanese pirates, especially after the mid-Ming Dynasty. So, at the proposal of gentry in Nantou, with the support and planning of Liu Wen, the deputy envoy of Guangdong, in the first year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1573), "Xin 'an County" was built in the hometown of Baoan.

From "seeking safety through treasure" to "seeking safety through danger", we can see the living environment and ideals of the people.

19 14. Due to the adjustment of national administrative divisions, Xin 'an County of Guangdong Province has the same name as Xin 'an County of Henan Province, so it was changed back to "Baoan".

1 99365438+1October1,Baoan was divided into districts from the county, and Baoan and Longgang districts were established, which were directly under the jurisdiction of Shenzhen.

Now the Xin 'an Sub-district Office in Bao 'an District has used the name "Xin 'an" in history.

There are Xin 'an Avenue and Xin 'an No.1 Road to No.4 Road, all of which are directly named after Xin 'an.

There are also some roads named after the word "An", such as Yu 'an No.1 Road No.2 Road, Jian 'an Road and Anle Road.

Xixiang: West of Nantou

After the completion of Dongguan City (now Nantou City) in Ming Dynasty, Xixiang gradually formed.

Most aborigines are surnamed Chen. According to the doctor, they are the Chen branch of Nanshan, and they live here separately. Because the village is located in the west of Nantou City, it was named Xixiang with Nantou City as the coordinate.

Now there are not many descendants of Xixiang Chen.

According to Jiaqing's Xin 'an County Records, Zhang Jiayu, a scholar at the end of Ming Dynasty, led a team to retreat to Xixiang from Guangdong Pass to meet the squire Chen Wenbao.

Overwhelmed by the Qing army, Chen Wenbao died in battle, his family was cut down, and the people surnamed Chen moved away one after another. ...

A Governor's Street in Xixiang, named after the Governor's Temple, is related to the largest migration tide in the history of ancient Shenzhen.

According to Mr. Rong, in the early Qing Dynasty, the court moved the residents of the southeast coast to the inland for 50 miles, and Xin 'an County was merged into Dongguan County. Wang Lairen, the former governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, risked his life to write a letter, trying to force Chen to move to the border. In the eighth year of Kangxi, the imperial court ordered the resumption of customs and restored Xin 'an County, and attracted a large number of Hakkas to move in with preferential reclamation policies, which promoted the rapid recovery and development of economy and culture in the eastern part of Shenzhen.

After reunification, the people of Xin 'an County built the "Governor's Mansion" in Xixiang, which is today's "Wang Dazhong City Temple" and named it Governor's Mansion Street to commemorate Wang Lairen, who was still a citizen at that time.

Xixiang is a distribution center for agricultural and sideline products and a transit point for cloth, cotton yarn and kerosene. There is a Xinglong Street, 1950 renamed Truth Street, and the backstreet renamed Truth Backstreet, all of which are still in use today.

Changsheng Street is from Laoxinglong Street to Hexi Street, which means "Chang Fanhua".

Because Xixiang River passes through the territory, Hedong Road and Hexi Road are named after their geographical location, formerly known as Kengbian and Kengsha.

CMC: There is a lot of sand in the well.

Shajing was once called Jinlong.

Mr. Zeng Guanlai introduced that the villagers dug wells to get water, and there was a lot of sand in the wells, hence the name "manhole".

The doctor believes that the rise of manholes is related to the Chen family.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to avoid chaos, Chen moved to Zhuji Lane, Nanxiong, Guangdong via Houguan, Fujian. In the mid-Southern Song Dynasty, Chen Chaoju moved to Yanchangkou, Guide (now Shajing, Songgang and other places).

Chen Chaoju may be a salt official with a low level. At that time, the salt industry in ancient Shenzhen was very developed. Near Guide Salt Field, there is a place called Yunlin, which is relatively prosperous. Chen settled and lived near Yunlin, where the waterway into the sea was sandy and there was a lot of sand when digging wells, so he named this place a manhole.

Chen, who later returned to the German saltworks, developed branches of Chen, such as He 'ao, zhu cun, Yanchuan and Nanshan, and became the ancestor of Chen in Shenzhen.

After years of evolution, the old Guide Salt Field has become today's Shasi Village in Shajing Town, and the earliest ancient pagoda "Jinlong Stone Pagoda" in Shenzhen is here.

Mr. Cai introduced that in the Southern Song Dynasty 122 1 year, the extension envoy built a stone bridge on the Shajing Village River. On the day of completion, the waves were rough, and it seemed that a dragon was released, so the stone pagoda was built "town-oriented".

In the Qiaotou residential area of Shajing Xinqiao, there is also an ancient bridge "Yongxing Bridge" built in 1785, which is the earliest bridge with a clear age in Shenzhen.

According to the old people here, Xinqiao Village is named after people.

Fuyong: Happiness lasts forever.

Fuyong has a long history. According to Mr. Zeng Guanlai, there is only one street between land and beach. Later, it was deposited by marine mud, and the coastal beach extended to the land.

Two streets were built near the seaside, commercial activities gradually shifted, and the old street became a residential area.

Fertile land and rich products attracted immigrants from Dongguan, Panyu, Zhongshan, Shunde and other places to gather and become a market named "Fuyong" to express the auspicious meaning of "eternal happiness".

According to Dr. Zhang Yibing's Records of Dongguan County in the Next Year, in A.D. 1575, Fuyong Inspection Department, a grass-roots organization responsible for social security, was established in the south of Fuyong Village in the Ming Dynasty, which is the earliest written record of Fuyong.

Garrison: Military Focus in Song Dynasty

Gushu is located in Xixiang Town.

In the Song Dynasty, Gushu was a purely military stronghold. From the original Tuen Mun Village to Gushu Jiaozhai, and then to Nangushu Village in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the name of the military camp was handed down in this way.

Historically, there was a small residential village near Gushujiaozhai. Dr. Zhang thinks that the name of this village may contain the word "ancient".

There is an ancestral temple built in Gushu in the late Ming Dynasty, which is one of the oldest preserved ancestral temples in Shenzhen.

Songgang: On a moonlit night, Huangsonggang

For a long time, Songgang, which is surrounded by mountains and waters, has been called Huangsonggang.

Mr. Zeng Guanlai told reporters that as early as the sixth year of Song Xianchun, that is, 1270, the market was established here. Because the market is built next to a village called Huang, there is a hill full of pine forests near the village, so the market is called "Huangsonggang".

1950 was renamed Songgang.

At the end of Southern Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang's younger brother was a magistrate in Huizhou. After the military defeat in the Southern Song Dynasty, he led the Wen clan and 65,438+06 servants to flee to Huangsonggang Garden (now Zhengen Bamboo Garden), and then moved to Fuyongling Xiacun.

Most people in the town live in Wen Jia.

Yanchuan Village was built by a descendant of Chen in Guide Salt Field. In front of the village is an alluvial plain, and behind the village is surrounded by green hills. In the Song Dynasty, Yanchuan's Guan Xiang was very famous.

Regarding the origin of the village name, there is a view that it comes from the mountains and rivers in front of the village.

To put it another way, as dr. zhang said, the name of Yanchuan village may be a nickname from one of Chen's ancestors.

Shapu and Shapuwei villages are named "sand" because there are many rivers and sands.

They are mainly Cai's family. One legend is that today, the ancestors of Caiwuwei in Luohu District passed Shapuwei Village.

Dr. zhang also explained that "Pu" refers to the sandbar in the water, which is also another name for "Pu", meaning wharf. These two villages are located on Maozhou, and Maozhoudu was built in history, hence the name.

Gong Ming market: fair and bright.

1929, Gong Ming market was established. This relatively young market is the result of family disputes.

Mr. Zeng Guanlai learned about the ins and outs of the Gong Ming site when compiling the Annals of Baoan County.

He told reporters: During the Tianshun period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a Zhou Jiacun market near Shi Cun; During the Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, Bailonggang Market appeared, which is the predecessor of Shutianpu Village today, Yongchang Market (in today's Songgang Luotian). During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, the Fenghe market appeared near the original Bailonggang market.

Among them, Fenghe market is the most prosperous.

Later, due to disputes between these clans, at the initiative of Lou village martial artists Chen Haishen and Heshuikou village Mai, 1929 built a market at the junction of Heshuikou and Shangcun, following the model of Yuen Long market in Hong Kong, which means "fair trade" and is also called Yihe market.

193 1 changed its name to Gong Ming market, which means "fair and bright".

"Guanlan": formerly known as "official difficulty"

Guanlan was originally called "official difficulty".

Mr. Zeng Guanlai told reporters that before the establishment of Guanlan Market, all the residents nearby went to the nearby clear lake Market. Later, the Dongguan magistrate sent someone to survey the address of Guanlan Market, which is located between Xin 'an and Dongguan counties, while Xin 'an and Dongguan each set up local government offices in the market to contain each other's officials. Therefore, ordinary people call this market "difficult for officials" and think it is a kind of irony.

Later, a famous Feng Shui gentleman named Deng Kun swam to the east bank of the river here, looked at the magnificent river with clear water and praised the good Feng Shui. Since then, he has been attached to this place, sitting by the river watching the waves every morning, and built the Kannonji here, named Guanlan, so the "Official Difficult" market was renamed Guanlan.

Shiyan: Legend of Stone

Shiyan, located at the foot of the beautiful northern side of Mount Yang, is an ancient residential area. As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, residents lived here, and during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, a market was built here.

The name of Shiyan comes from an ancient temple.

The reporter heard from Mr. Zeng Guanlai that Shiyan was originally named "Wu Shiyan". There is a large natural cave dedicated to Guanyin. There is a huge stone pedestal in the center of the cave. The worshippers set off firecrackers and threw them on the stone base. When they saw that the stone base was brown and black, they said it was a sign, so they called it "Wu Shiyan Temple".

Later, someone built a temple here, named "cishi Ancient Temple", with stone steps leading to the gate and the word "Wu Shiyan" engraved on the archway.

Wu Shiyan Market got its name, and later it was changed to Shiyan.

During the Anti-Japanese War, "Shiyan cishi Ancient Temple" was also the contact point of anti-Japanese guerrillas.

There is a "Yingrenshi" village in Shiyan, and its name is also related to stones.

This stone "looks like a fairy" and is vermilion, also known as "fairy fossil".

"Xin 'an County Records" has such a record: "Xiangu fossil, in Yang Taishan, the stone surface has always been red, also known as Ren Yingshi".

In the local area, the reporter also heard a legend that only half of the stones were blocked at the entrance of the mountain. The villagers felt strange, so they called the other half of the stone and shouted. The other half of the stone actually flew up and completely integrated with the original half, forming a complete stone. Everyone calls it "Ren Yingshi".

Now, there is only the place name "Ren Yingshi", and this stone no longer exists.

No one in Laiwushan Village, Longhua is surnamed Lai.

Longhua Lai Wushan Village, but no surname Lai, has a tragic story:

In the early years, all the villagers here were surnamed Lai.

There was a gentleman who was secretly called "crab" by the villagers.

He actually made a "rule": all brides passing through the village must stay at his house for one night before they can be released.

If you don't follow, it is a passing village, and you will send servants to forcibly rob it; If you are from the village, you can drop in and ruin this family.

One day, a bride passed by in a sedan chair, and the "crab" sent someone to rob the bride as usual.

Unexpectedly, the bride is a relative of the bandit leader in Dongguan. After the bandit leader learned of this incident, he called dozens of bandits down the mountain overnight and bloodbath Laiwu Mountain Village. The evil "crab" was lying among the corpses, and the poor villagers also fell in a pool of blood.

It is said that only one midwife survived. She picked a pair of newborn twin boys, hid them in a cave, and then ran away in the dark. She picked two crying children and went all the way to Pingshan, where she settled down.

At present, many Lai residents in Longgang pingshan town are their descendants. From then on, there was only one place name in Lai Wushan Village. Although there were others one after another, none of them were surnamed Lai.
