Important historical events 1. Before Lin Zexu destroyed opium in Humen and Dongguan Humen, Lin Zexu learned that opium used to be burned and opium oil infiltrated into the soil, so someone dug up the soil and boiled it into smoke cream. So, he sent people to dig two large pools with a width of 15 feet in Humen Beach, fill them with seawater, then put opium in the pools, soak them thoroughly, and then put lime. Then open the culvert to let opium in.
2. What is the oldest building in Dongguan? In the Three Kingdoms period, in the first year of Dongwu (222), Sun Quan became king and set up a salt governor in Dongwu. In the sixth year of Tian Jian (507), Dongguan County was changed to Dongguan County. Dongguan began to become. When we talk about Dongguan now, it means Dongguan or Guancheng.
In 757 AD, Guancheng became the county seat of Dongguan with a long history, 1250. Since ancient times, Guancheng has been a place where merchants gather and things flow smoothly. As the political, economic and cultural center of Dongguan, Guancheng is a microcosm of Dongguan's cultural development.
Millennium market shows its unique charm.
Shiqiao Road and Zheng Xi Road, which were once prosperous, recorded the brand of the changes of Guancheng times, and their profound historical background contained a warm picture of life, reflecting the commercial context of Guancheng from feudal times to today for thousands of years.
When it comes to Shiqiao Road and Zheng Xi Road, we can't help but mention these two roads with the oldest history, the oldest name and the longest business hours in Dongguan, which are also commonly known as the "Millennium Market". In the second year of Tang Zhide (757), Dongguan County was moved to Daoyong, and Shiqiao Road and Zheng Xi Road gradually formed. Their original names were Wu Peng Street and Ximengzheng Street respectively.
Shiqiao Road and Zheng Xi Road are the oldest commercial pedestrian street and the oldest commercial center in Guancheng. At that time, the markets on both sides of the bridge were bustling, the river under the bridge was clear and flowing, and ships were in an endless stream, forming a harmonious and beautiful moving picture. Especially when the spring breeze is blowing and the spring rain is continuous, when the spring water rises every year, on the Shiqiao River, you can hear the sound of surging waves, the sound of boatmen paddling, and you can see the scenery of algae hanging upstairs, which is a beautiful scene of rising spring water.
Nowadays, after thousands of years of ups and downs, with the development of social economy and the increase of permanent population, these two ancient markets are already full of spring scenery. With the expansion of the market, the reconstructed Shiqiao Road and Zheng Xi Road have taken on a new look. The ancient market with a long history of thousands of years has become the most beautiful, prosperous and large-scale modern market, showing a prosperous scene of "people like a bridge rain". Their changes have witnessed the development history of Guancheng's commercial activities and the vicissitudes of Guancheng.
Cultural relics abound.
We can also see the culture of Dongguan from its cultural relics. From 1960 to 1990, 22 northern hills and hills were found in Dongguan. Among them, Haogang near Guancheng has Beiqiu, Zifu Temple built in the fifth year of Dabao in the Southern Han Dynasty (962), Shangqingguan on the Taoist Mountain in Liang Wudi, and Qing Security Academy built in Zhengdong Street in Guancheng in the twelfth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1734). The unearthed ancient tombs include Han tombs, Jin and Tang tombs, Song and Yuan tombs and Ming and Qing tombs. These ancient tombs reflect the long history of Dongguan.
There are also many ancient buildings, such as the ivory tower in Nanhan Town, the stupa of blue dolomite, and the Kannonji in Huang Qi.
Among them, the Xicheng Building in Guancheng, which has a history of more than 600 years, is located at the intersection of Zheng Xi Road in Guancheng. It was built in the 17th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1384). After hundreds of years of baptism and repeated maintenance, it still stands and is well preserved, becoming a landmark historical building in Guancheng.
3. Looking at the changes in Dongguan from the Spring Festival According to historical data, as early as 1600 years ago, there was an immigration tide in Shenzhen, and mainlanders made great contributions to the development of Xin 'an.
Among the six counties under the jurisdiction of Dongguan County, Bao 'an County is the first one. County governance and county governance are in the same place, and it is an important transportation hub for rivers and seas and a military town for coastal defense. Xin 'an Old Town has created the source of Shenzhen's urban development and become the center of Shenzhen's political, economic and cultural life.
Historical changes are often manifested as "long separation, long separation". So is the development and change of Xin 'an Old Town.
In the sixth year of Jian 'an (507), Dongguan County was changed to Dongguan County, and Chenqian County was located in Zengcheng. In the second year from Tang Suzong to Germany (757), the name of Baoan County was changed to Dongguan, and the county administration moved from Nantou to Dongguan.
By the Five Dynasties, after the Song and Yuan Dynasties, some changes had taken place in the administrative subordination of Shenzhen. The Nantou City we see today is the "Dongguan Shouqianhu City" built by Cui Hao, a thousand households in Guangzhou, in the 27th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1394).
In the first year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1573), Xin 'an County was established in Dongguan County, and this city was the county seat. According to archaeological discoveries in recent years, Shenzhen has a history of 6000 years.
According to the data of underground archaeological excavations and ancient sites on the ground, Shenzhen has a long history. The pottery and stone tools found in the ruins of Dahuangsha and Dameisha dunes show that human beings lived in this beautiful and rich land as early as the Neolithic Age five or six thousand years ago.
Created the glorious history and culture of Shenzhen. At present, it has been identified that there are cultural sites 103, 234 ancient tombs, 68 ancient buildings and historical memorial buildings, 97 modern historical sites and revolutionary memorial buildings, and old customs stations and boundary pillars 12 in Shenzhen.

6. The history around me Dongguan is my hometown. As a citizen of Dongguan, I am proud of Dongguan.
Dongguan has a long history, outstanding people, beautiful mountains and rivers and simple folk customs. What is worth mentioning is the specialty of Dongguan-litchi, the traditional folk customs, the booming it high-tech industrial manufacturing base-Songshan Lake Science and Technology Industrial Park, and the Silicon Valley of Dongguan. From Wan Li Rice Sea to Four Seasons Fruit Fragrance, from sugarcane forest to vegetable garden, from individual free-range to modern farm, the specialty fruit litchi has developed rapidly in Dongguan ... Dongguan has fertile land, rich light, heat and water resources, which is conducive to the development of food production and cash crop cultivation. The conditions for developing agriculture are very superior, and it is known as the "land of plenty and fruit".
According to the topographic distribution characteristics of Dongguan, it can be roughly divided into four regions: southeast, south-central, northeast and west. The south-central part is dominated by hills, generally below 500 meters above sea level, with small relief, gentle slope and thick soil layer, which is suitable for planting fruit trees.
Litchi planting here has a long history and is an important litchi producing area in Dongguan. Taking Dalingshan as the center, glutinous rice paste and cinnamon fruit are all excellent works, which are well-known at home and abroad. Longan, pineapple and wampee are also planted here, which is an important fruit production base in Dongguan.
It is said that there is a village called Jigang Village. A long time ago, there was a poor farmer in the village. The owner's name is Chen Dayuan, the wife's name is Liu Huizhen, and the child's name is Chen Guimei.
A family of three lives in poverty. Chen Dayuan often goes out of the village to do odd jobs to make money. Besides doing housework at home, Hui Zhen sometimes grows vegetables in the fields.
One day, Huizhen took six-year-old Guimei to cut grass in the field. Guimei is young, chasing butterflies in the shade.
Chasing, chasing, unconsciously caught up with the litchi tree of village bully Chen Guixian, and the butterfly flew high and flew on the litchi tree. Guimei looked up and saw the bright red lychees on the tree, so she forgot to chase butterflies and reached out and picked two lychees on the drooping branches.
Just as Chen Guixian (the landlord) passed by the garden, he shouted, "You little thief, how dare you steal my lychee in broad daylight!" " The sound was like a bolt from the blue, which startled Guimei and turned around and ran away. Chen Guixian rushed forward like crazy, grabbed Guimei by the collar with one hand and snatched the litchi back with the other.
Who knows that Guimei clung to litchi and cried desperately: "I want litchi! I want lychee! " Chen Guixian got angry, spread out his palm, slapped Guimei a few times, then grabbed Guimei's chest and pushed him to the ground. Guimei fell on her back and kicked Guixian again. At this time, Guimei's mother arrived at the sound. Seeing this, she rushed up, hugged the child in one hand, and cried and apologized to Guixian: "Sir, forgive me for being lax in disciplining the child and stealing your litchi. I'll blame him when I get home. Please calm down. "
When Guimei saw her mother, she hugged her tightly. She was surprised and scared, and cried desperately: "I want to eat lychee, I want to eat lychee!" " "The mother saw the child covered in mud and sweat, distressed and pitiful, and gloomily took him home. The next day, Guimei had a high fever due to shock and was in a coma for a whole day. She doesn't think about tea and rice, and often orders litchi.
The couple were very worried and gave him several doses of decoction, but his condition worsened and became more and more serious. Hui Zhen was heartbroken at this scene and said to her husband with tears in her eyes, "Alas, the cause of the child is all caused by eating litchi. Why don't you go to Xiancun to buy some lychees and tell him not to think about it all day, and his condition may get better. "
Dayuan followed his wife and bought some lychees from Xiancun. She took them to her son and said, "Look, Mel, mom gave you some big and red lychees." Guimei listened to the word litchi, slightly opened her eyes, saw a few bright red lychees, smiled, shook her hand, took the lychee and gently put it on her chest.
Suddenly, my eyes went black, my hands hung down, my head tilted and I passed away sadly. The Dayuan couple endured their grief, buried their children in a mound in the back hill and put those lychees in the grave.
In the second year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, several litchi seedlings grew in front of children's graves. Dayuan cherished it, carefully dug out litchi seedlings, planted them around the children's graves, and watered and fertilized them.
Ten years later, litchi has grown up, and this place has become a small green litchi garden. Litchi trees bloom and bear red litchi fruits.
This litchi is not only especially sweet, but also refreshing. In memory of his son, Dayuan renamed Xiaoli Garden Guimei Garden.
Since then, Guimei litchi has come out. As for the later people who wrote Guimei as Guiwei, it may be because the pronunciation of "beauty" and "taste" in local dialects is similar and evolved.
My grandmother is from Dalingshan. She has a litchi forest. Every June and July, when litchi is ripe, my friends and relatives climb the tree to pick litchi to eat. Peel off the red skin of litchi and you can see the crystal clear pulp. Bite it down and a sweet feeling will pass through your heart. After spitting out the shell, I finished eating the pulp.
Ah! Delicious! Traditional Folk Custom The history of more than 5,000 years in China is like a huge historical and cultural treasure house, which contains cultural crystallization full of wisdom. There are many colorful cultures and traditional customs in Dongguan, such as the Prostitution Festival in Dongkeng, the Lotus Festival in Qiaotou, the Dragon Boat Festival in Shilong and the Art Festival in Huangjiang, which have attracted many tourists to watch.
The most famous is Dongkeng's "Prostitution Festival". According to the records of Dongkeng Town, Dongkeng's "Prostitution Festival" originated from the phenomenon of "prostitution" (that is, selling labor) in Tangchun Village in the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty.
At that time, some young people who didn't have their own fields took to the streets on the second day of the second lunar month, wearing hats and coarse towels as a sign of "selling themselves", waiting for the rich man to hire them. Rich people with fields also came to Tangchun Village on this day to select young adults who sold themselves for a year.
Then, there are many "meeting immortals" in this treasure land. Legend has it that immortals in the sky descended to Dongkeng to give alms to all beings on the day of "Prostitution Festival", and went to Dongkeng to watch "Prostitution", to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and to save all beings in parallel.
For example, curly hair and arm grinding, straight, golden hoe, the story of Dong Zi, don't pour sugar, it will clear up when it is cloudy. It's amazing. A fairy really came down to help.
As a result, the "Prostitution Festival" spread more and more, and the more it spread, the more magical it became. As a result, by the second day of February, the river and the wooden bridge were really crowded with people.
7. The ancient and modern changes of food culture in Dongguan.
Cantonese people like to eat, while Dongguan people prefer to eat. If nothing else, there are more than 10000 restaurants and restaurants in Dongguan, which is quite amazing for a city with an area of less than 2,500 square kilometers.
Dongguan cuisine has a long history.
To talk about the diet in Dongguan, we should start with the history of Dongguan. The establishment of Dongguan County began in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but the history of Dongguan can even be traced back to the Xia Dynasty. The origin of Dongguan cuisine began in the Qin Shihuang era. Li Ping, general manager of Dongguan Garden Porridge City, told reporters that in the Qin Dynasty, Dongguan belonged to the "land of hundreds of Cantonese". After Qin Shihuang destroyed the Six Kingdoms, he sent troops to conquer hundreds of Cantonese. Later, some soldiers stayed in the local area, bringing Central Plains culture and Central Plains cuisine, which have been passed down to this day.
For example, Ma Ge, a famous snack in Dongguan, was the food of Qin Dynasty, and Rong Ai (Rong Geng's sister), a famous historian in Dongguan, also made textual research on it. The spelling of "Marco" is also given by Rong Ai, because Marco is a Dongguan dialect and "Brother" means paragraph by paragraph. It used to have a voice without words until Rong Ai named it.
Dongguan also has a famous local dish "Sand Wash Fish Pills", which also originated from Qin Shihuang. Legend has it that Qin Shihuang loved fish, and some people dared not assassinate him, because during the Warring States Period, Zhuan Xu stabbed Liao Wangshi and hid the dagger in the belly of grilled fish, and finally succeeded. So the dish fish balls was born. When you make fish balls, you won't hide anything, and there are no thorns. It's very convenient to eat.
Since then, the Five Rebellions, the Anshi Rebellion, the confrontation between Song and Jin Dynasties and many other times, a large number of people in the Central Plains moved south, bringing local food culture. The diet in Dongguan has been continuously integrated with the Central Plains culture, combined with local products and customs, and gradually formed its own characteristics.
"Land of Fish and Rice" is full of delicious food.
In addition to historical factors, geography also played a vital role in the formation of Dongguan's diet. Dongguan used to be a county mainly engaged in agriculture, and it was a famous "land of fish and rice". The diet naturally has an important relationship with "fish" and "rice". In fact, it is this product base that has created two types of local cuisines in Dongguan-snacks and stir-fried dishes.
Snacks mainly refer to cakes in Dongguan diet. Dongguan snacks have a long history, with more than 200 varieties, which are very rich. Dongguan snacks are mainly made by farmers themselves, and almost every household can make them. The raw material of snacks is mainly rice, which is divided into glutinous rice and japonica rice. Every autumn, when the harvest is finished, farmers will make rice into various cakes. Most snacks are made by grinding rice into powder, and some are made directly from rice, and grinding is a job that children are willing to do. Because of the lack of water, snacks can be kept in Tomb-Sweeping Day from one winter to the next, so that they can be eaten in winter. And on holidays, snacks are also good hospitality foods, such as kudzu root, plum bean cake, oil angle, sugar rings and so on, which are very popular.
Small fry refers to the dishes in Dongguan diet. It should be said that this part can better reflect the characteristics of Dongguan diet. As a branch of Cantonese cuisine, Dongguan cuisine has its own unique characteristics. Because Dongguan used to focus on agriculture, all the dishes in Dongguan have a strong peasant flavor. Relatively speaking, Dongguan cuisine is not as light as ordinary Cantonese cuisine, with a slightly heavy taste, and meat accounts for a large proportion, such as white duck, Humen cream crab, Xiansha fish balls, Daojiao meatballs, boiled fish with stone rafts, Houjie sausage, Tangxia goose, roasted Mei Sheng bone roll and so on, all of which are meat-based dishes. This is mainly related to the rich products in Dongguan, and the low living standard also makes these big fish and big meat more likely to become people's favorite dishes. In practice, the food in Dongguan pays more attention to workmanship, and the steps are not very complicated, but it tastes great.
Local cuisine plays the leading role.
Although Dongguan is a small place, its topography and culture are quite diverse, so its diet is also varied. Therefore, the diversity of dietary styles is a major feature of Dongguan cuisine. Generally speaking, the diet in Dongguan can be divided into two parts: the water town in the west and the mountainous area in the east. In each work, different towns have different characteristics.
Because of the criss-crossing ditches and abundant aquatic products, the water town is a veritable land of fish and rice, so the diet is also characterized by fish and shrimp, such as red plum taro, dried clam meat, boiled fish with stone ribs, roasted eel with humen honey sauce and so on. However, the town style in the water town film is different. Daojiao, Hongmei and other towns are mainly fresh water areas, which are quite different from the coastal areas such as Baisha and Humen. For example, the cream crab and prawn in Humen are not found anywhere else.
Because it is located in mountainous areas, the characteristics of mountainous areas are poultry and livestock. In addition, because Shanxiang is close to Huizhou and other areas, it is deeply influenced by Hakka culture, and Tangxia, Fenggang and other towns account for a considerable proportion, so the food culture is greatly influenced by Hakka culture and tastes salty. For example, Hakka braised pork, Tangxia fried pork belly tip, Fenggang Hakka dog meat, Qingxi New Year goose and other dishes are all representative dishes of Shanpian.
Famous dishes are delicious.
There are many kinds of local cuisines in Dongguan, but there are not many restaurants that can really cook local dishes in Dongguan at present. In towns and villages, Dongguan has a little more flavor, and there are not many places in the city that want to eat pure Dongguan food. The most famous is Garden Porridge Town, which originally focused on Dongguan cuisine, and specially launched a series of "Wan Xiang Cai" in Yongtai Store in John Wan, which was deeply loved by Dongguan people.
