In the following 500 years, the history of Shunde has experienced ups and downs.
Sometimes typhoons uproot trees, tigers hurt people, hail is like a bucket, and rivers burst their banks; Sometimes pirates invade, bandits invade, wars are everywhere, swords and shadows are everywhere, and the war is in chaos.
However, under the double pressure of natural and man-made disasters, the people of Shunde who live in this land have given full play to their wisdom and composed a hymn to a better life.
At the beginning of the establishment of the county, the county people excavated mulberry fish ponds according to local conditions to create three-dimensional agriculture; At the beginning of the 20th century, we seized the short-term opportunity of the shortage of raw materials in the world market, vigorously developed national industry and commerce, and became the "Southern Silk Capital, Guangdong Bank".
In addition, Shunde people's enthusiasm for learning in the past dynasties is endless, passed down from generation to generation, and the humanities are gathered together.
Shunde people, who live in the fertile soil of the water town, still have an indomitable spirit of struggle. In the process of following the revolution to resist the enemy and aggression, heroes come forth in large numbers and are touching.
After the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening-up, Shunde talents have truly seized the once-in-a-lifetime historical opportunity, brought their ideals and dreams that have lasted for more than 500 years to the extreme, and achieved a series of brilliant and remarkable achievements.
It coincides with the 0/0 anniversary of the founding of the city, and it is also a time to look back and look forward to each other. This newspaper specially launched a series of reports on "A Hundred Years' Story of Searching for Shunde", reviewing the vicissitudes and great changes of Shunde in the past 550 years with readers, taking history as a mirror, grasping opportunities and meeting new challenges.
Shunde peasant uprising organizational system
When was Shunde established? How did Shunde get its name? Maybe many people don't know.
On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Shunde, we might as well open the dusty history and explore the origin of Shunde.
According to the Records of Shunde County, Shunde was located in Panyu County, Nanhai County in Qin Dynasty, and changed to Nanhai County in Sui Dynasty.
After the failure of the Huang Xiaoyang Uprising in the Orthodox period of Ming Yingzong, in order to strengthen the governance of the origin of the Uprising, on April 27th, Jingtai (A.D.1May 452 16), the government transferred Tung Chung, Ma Ning, Xilin, Thirty-seven Fort in Ding Xin and Baitengbao in Xinhui County (195816).
Since then, it has been under the jurisdiction of guangzhou fu until the end of Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, Shunde has been established for 550 years.
An important historical opportunity for the establishment of Shunde was that in August of the 14th year of Ming Dynasty (1449), Huang Xiaoyang, a farmer from Chonghebao, led a peasant uprising, which resulted in Shunde County.
Disaster-ridden 100 year
During the period of Jianxian 100, Shunde was a disaster-prone place. Typhoon, rainstorm, locust plague, hail, famine, many earthquakes and tigers hurt people in many places.
From 1452 to 1552, there were eight typhoons, 12 storms and floods, and 10 famine.
However, Shunde people at that time were not intimidated by difficulties and fought against nature indomitable.
After the establishment of Shunde County, the economy developed further. Farmers dug the low-lying land into pond culture, used the excavated civil pond foundation to plant fruit trees, and gradually formed the production structure of fruit-based fish ponds and mulberry-based fish ponds, which laid the foundation for future prosperity.
At the same time, some farmers drifted out to sea by boat and began the history of Shunde people living in foreign countries.
In the first year of Jingtai in Ming Dynasty (1450), after the failure of Huang Xiaoyang uprising, the court severely arrested (condemned) and a large number of county people fled. A group of farmers from Shuiteng Township drifted by boat to India, and they have been multiplying ever since.
A magical story.
In order to understand this history, recently, our reporter came to Chonghe Village, Liule Town.
It is mentioned that Mr. Lu, director of Chonghe Village, said that everyone over ten years old in the village knows it.
He said that when Boluo was a soldier, he also went to the fifth floor of Guangzhou (Guangzhou Museum) to see Huang Xiaoyang's portrait and text introduction.
How did the place name of Chonghe come from? Pan Zeng, the discoverer of the reclining Buddha in Leshan, Sichuan, has studied this. He said that running cranes should be "running cranes", which means that cranes can often be seen in wetlands with dense rivers. Later, the more literate local people thought that "Ben He" was a bit rustic and unsightly, so they renamed it "Ben He", which means "Flying Crane".
In order to find the story of Huang Xiaoyang, the reporter found Pan Woshi, one of the oldest people in the village.
Mr. Pan Lao was born in 19 10 and is over 90 years old this year. Although he is old, he is a famous cultural person in the village. Graduated from Guangzhou University in his early years, he was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Pan Shiyi told reporters that there are many folk tales about Huang Xiaoyang, one of which is very popular.
Huang Xiaoyang is a tenant farmer, and his family is very poor. I have been herding cattle in Fei 'e Mountain next to Chonghe since I was a child.
One day, when he was herding cattle, he met a Mr. Feng Shui.
Mr. Feng Shui told him that there is a treasure trove of Feng Shui here, and if the ancestral grave is moved to this treasure trove, it will certainly be developed. This geomantic treasure-house is located at the Longkou of Fei 'e Mountain.
Mr. Feng Shui said to Huang Xiaoyang: I want to jump behind the dragon's tail. Please take a look at it for me. The place where it moves is Longkou.
So Mr. Feng Shui went to Wei Long's position and jumped a few times.
Then he turned to ask where Huang Xiaoyang had moved. Although Huang Xiaoyang already knew the location of the movement, he replied that Mr. Feng Shui didn't see anything moving.
Mr. Feng Shui believed the cowherd and left in disappointment.
Huang Xiaoyang immediately moved his mother's grave to a moving location after he returned.
Sure enough, Huang Xiaoyang later became the "emperor".
Although this folklore has a strong superstitious color, it at least reflects Huang Xiaoyang's cleverness and wit since he was a child.
legendary person
What kind of person does Huang Xiaoyang mean? "Shunde County Records" is also recorded.
He was born in an unknown year and died at 1450. His original name was Mao Song.
Ming Yongle was born in a tenant farmer's family in Chonghebao, Nanhai.
His eyes are red, his appearance is strange, and his personality is bold and unrestrained.
When he was young, his father Huang Dagang was unable to repay his debts and mortgaged him to the landlord as a coolie. Later, he was adopted by Xiao Dawu, a traveling Taoist, and taught him to learn medicine and martial arts. Since then, he has changed it to "Xiao Yang".
In the fourteenth year of the Orthodox Church (1449), more than 10000 people were assembled, and 150 warships were built. The flag was lowered in Erlongshan, Hengjiang (now Longyan Village, Liu Le) and an uprising was declared.
The rebels took Guizhou and Fengjian lightly, then captured Daliang and attacked Foshan and Guangzhou.
After several victories, Huang Xiaoyang established the status of "the king of docile subjects", made Dongyang its capital, made Daliang a palace, and made officials in Wuyang Post Station in the south of Guangzhou. The number of people who came from all directions to defect was endless, reaching hundreds of thousands. Uprising farmers in Xinhui, Dongguan and Xiangshan also accepted his knighthood.
In April of the sixth year of Jingtai (1450), the imperial court sent well-equipped officers and men to the south to suppress it.
After several days of fierce fighting, he was involved in the water in the melee and was declared dead of serious injuries.
At that time, 90 squires, including Luo Xianyong and Luo, wrote to the governor, saying that Tung Chung, Ma Ning and Xilin were far away from the county and offshore, so it was appropriate to set up another county.
The court then established Shunde County, with Daliang as the county seat.
