Erlong Street, Haizhu District, originally had a dragon tail guide first and then a dragon tail guide, which was merged from Longweidao Township and Longtian Township. There are more than 50 streets and lanes named after "Dragon", which is one of the most concentrated areas in Guangzhou. Born and raised in Sri Lanka, Deng Weixian worked in the party and government departments in Haizhu District for a long time before retiring and participated in many cultural relics surveys. According to him, the place name of "Dragon" in Baogang area comes from the Southern Han Emperor Liu who was separated from Lingnan in the Five Dynasties. After he became emperor, he built a large number of palaces and courtyards in and out of Guangzhou. Among them, the Nangong was built near the present West Lake Road, and the West Lake was excavated. Changhua Palace was built around today's Liwan Lake, and Liuwangdian was built around the mountain in Haizhu District. At present, the area around Haizhuang Park in Haizhu District is the dressing building for the concubines of the Southern Han Emperor. Liu also ordered the construction of the "South Altar" next to Baogang in Chang 'an Hanyuan Temple in the Tang Dynasty to worship heaven and earth. Deng Weixian said that there is still a street called "Jiaotan Top Street" on the west side of Baogang Avenue and southeast of Deng Shichang Memorial Hall, which was the location of Nanjiao Temple in the Southern Han Dynasty. In front of the altar in the southern suburbs, there is a passage dedicated to the emperor, which is called "Wei Long Road". Later, the Southern Han Dynasty was destroyed by the Northern Song Dynasty, and all the palaces were burned down. However, the village formed at the site of Longwei Island is still called Longwei Island. Farmland and villages opened to the east of Nanjiao altar are called "Longtian Township". "Wei Long Road" was later misinformed, and was marked as "Weilong Guide" on the map of Panyu County Records in the middle of Qing Dynasty. Starting from "Wei Long Road" and "Longtian", many streets and lanes in Erlong Street and Baogang are named after "Dragon". As for the "Fujian Dragon" in Nanhua West Street, there are two versions of "Dragon Leading Tail" in Baosteel's current place name. One view is that it evolved from "Dragon Tail Guide", which is Deng Weixian, and the other holds another view. According to him, among the old population in Baotou Steel, there is a saying that "there is a dragon tail guide first, and then there is a dragon tail guide". "Dragon tail guide" is a new residential area opened by early residents from the "dragon tail guide" township. If the dragons around Erlong Street and Baogang are Nanhan dragons, then the dragons around Nanhua West Street in Haizhu District can be called Fujian dragons. According to the textual research of the elderly who have been engaged in cultural work for many years in Haizhu District, the name of "Long" street in Nanhua West Street originated from Longxi Township (now the first contract of Longxi). The founder of the town was Pan Qi, a wealthy businessman from Guangzhou during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Pan Shizu was born in Longxi Township, Quanzhou, Fujian. After Pan Qi became rich in business in Guangdong, he took a fancy to the criss-crossing waterways and convenient transportation in South China and West China, so he built houses and ancestral temples here and settled in towns and villages. In order to show that we don't forget our ancestors, we still named this place Longxi Township. Pan Qi * * * has seven sons, with a growing population and bigger houses, so the names of nearby streets are marked with the word "Dragon". It was not until the reform and opening up that this place gradually developed into the center of "Henan Land" (Haizhu District). In the Qing Dynasty, there was an island opposite the riverbank in Longxi Township, named "Aozhou". Pan Qi invested in the construction of three stone bridges, namely Shuzhu Bridge, Zhu Huan Bridge and Yuelong Bridge, to facilitate communication. Among them, Yuelong Bridge crosses the north and south of Aozhou and Longxi Township, which means jumping from Aozhou into Longxi. Therefore, the vicinity of Yuelong Bridge is also called Yuelongli. Later, because of the changes in the nearby business district, Yuelongli moved to the east of Tongqing Road, which was called "Yuelong Shang Jie", and the waterway between Australia and Henan was buried because of the opening of this road. There is also the "Dragon of the Eastern Jin Dynasty" in Henan. The place name of "Dragon" in Haizhu District is not only "Nanhan Dragon" and "Fujian Dragon", but also "East Jin Dragon". According to old records, Longtan Township, Xinjiao, Haizhu District is now formerly known as Xincun Dun. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Lu Xun, the leader of the peasant uprising, led the navy from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the south, and once stationed at the dock of Xincun in Henan and built a village, which was called "Lu Xun's old city" in history. Lu Xun was a little dragon, and most of the people who followed him south were houseboats, also known as dragons, so Xincun Pier was renamed "Longtan", and the place name is still in use today. Nanhan Dragon, Minlong Dragon and Dongjin Dragon, the confluence of these three well-documented dragons, are the main sources of dragon place names in Haizhu District. In addition, other experts and elders also told reporters what they knew. For example, the old man Xia Deying thinks that the "dragon" in Baotou Steel may be a "feng shui dragon" on the terrain. Chen Jiankang, the stationmaster of Erlong Street Cultural Station, thinks that Ma Yong, which flows through the west of Haizhu District, may form a "river dragon".
