According to documents, today's Kowloon Peninsula was called Guan Fushan and Guan Fuchang in the Song Dynasty. As for the one in Kowloon, it was first seen in the full-light map of Governor Cangwu's Military Records in the Ming Dynasty. The place in the picture is mountain-shaped, juxtaposed with the official governor's office. After the Qing court ceded Hong Kong Island in China, for administrative and defense needs, it moved the inspection department of Guanfu to Jiulong Village and renamed it Jiulong Inspection Department. At this point, Kowloon replaced Guanfu and represented the whole peninsula. Speaking of the name Kowloon, do you think of the nine dragons winding around? In fact,' Kowloon' often appears as a pattern in buildings in China, and there are nine dragon walls all over the country. So, as a place name, how did Kowloon get its name? It is said that the name of Kowloon comes from the winding terrain like nine mountains, which are commonly known as Long Mai, hence the name of Kowloon. As for the nine mountains, it has never been clearly pointed out. If we only look at the mountains in the north of Kowloon, from west to east, there are only eight mountains, including Jianshan (Ying Chao Mountain), Bijia Mountain (Yandun Mountain), Lion Mountain, Xiongji Mountain, Ciyun Mountain, Dongshan Mountain, Tate's Cairn Mountain and Fei 'e Mountain. Where is the other one? According to legend, at the end of the Song Dynasty, the monarch and his subjects fled to the vicinity of Guan Fuchang in Kowloon to avoid the Yuan Army. One day, the young emperor said to the minister, "There is an Elon Mountain with eight dragons. Lu Xiufu said,' The Emperor is a real dragon, which adds up to nine dragons. Since then, this area has been called Kowloon. Some people think that eight mountains in the north of Kowloon should be added to Pipa Mountain in the west to form nine dragons. Some people advocate that the "New Kowloon" mountains should also be included, including Dashengtuo, Wugui Mountain, Jingshan Mountain and Devil Mountain (Artillery Mountain), with more than nine. There are too many to count, so some people say that Kowloon-Kowloon is just an imaginary number, referring to many mountains, not really jiusan. According to Feng Shui experts, the dragon in Kowloon refers to the Long Mai in Feng Shui, not the mountain peak. Kowloon is named after "Kowloon sends its pulse south to the sea". There are other sayings about the name of Kowloon. Visiting Sheng at Humen in Qing Dynasty said that once upon a time, there were nine brothers who were good at swimming. They all became dragons and lived in the mountains all night, hence the name. According to Schumann, K.M.A.Bart said,' After nine years, dragons (also called dragons) can sit, which is the earliest Japanese dialect. Later generations used a more elegant nickname, so it was called Kowloon. "However, Schumann is based on Yunnan dialect and is not suitable for explaining the place names in Cantonese dialect areas.

The name of Kowloon comes from such an allusion. According to legend, once upon a time, there was a son of heaven patrolling. When he came to Kowloon, he looked around, but when he saw eight mountains around him, he wanted to kill him with "eight dragons". The attendants reminded the emperor that he was the dragon among people, and it should be nine dragons, so the emperor named this place "Jiulong".
