First of all, because people in Guangzhou like to worship God, incense keeps burning all day, and cigarettes float into the sky. The Jade Emperor smelled cigarettes and asked the gods in the sky. The gods said, "The people in Guangzhou worship God. So the Jade Emperor said: Let the people of Guangzhou live a happy life. I sent five immortals to Guangzhou.
Wuxian rode a sheep down to Guangzhou, so it was called "Wuyangcheng". The place under it was a bridge, so it was called Wuxian Bridge. When they saw a mountain that looked like a dog, they called it "Thin Dog Ridge". There is a mountain opposite the thin dog, which looks like a white cloud. Just call the "Baiyun Mountain" fairy and say, "Baiyun Mountain is heavier or Shougouling is heavier?" So they found a balance to weigh Shougouling and Baiyun Mountain. I found that Baiyun Mountain is as heavy as Shougouling. The place where the balance is placed is called the "balance frame". The five immortals walked on. They are a little hungry. A fairy made a chicken for everyone to eat, but the chicken was too small. After eating chicken, they threw it away. The place where the chicken neck is thrown is called the "chicken neck pit".
These were broadcast by Guangzhou TV station before ... I really don't know. ...
Here is C+V.
Origin of Guangzhou's name: During the Zhou Dynasty, Guangzhou was now called "Chuting". During the Qin Dynasty, Guangzhou was now called Panyu (the county of Nanhai County, including most of Guangdong today). During the Han Dynasty, Jiaozhou ruled Guangxin (Wuzhou, once said to be Guan). During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan of the State of Wu divided Jiaozhou into Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, so it was named Guangzhou because it moved the county from Guangxin East to Panyu. At that time, Guangzhou included Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin and Hepu counties, and its government was in Panyu (now Guangzhou).
Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province, has experienced the evolution of mountains, rivers and cultures for more than 2,000 years. I really don't know how many place names have been produced or annihilated. It's a long story. It is a very interesting topic to review the inheritance and replacement of place names in Guangzhou for half a century.
At the beginning of the Republic, the old city of Guangzhou was in ruins. Except for some simplified New Deal names such as East District, West District, North District, Central District and Henan District, other place names remain basically unchanged to stabilize the political situation and people's hearts. Most of the old roads and old streets, such as Yide Road, Hongde Road, Zhuangyuanfang, Longhu Wall, Yingyuan Road, Jiangjun Road, Pan Hao Street, Agate Lane, Xu Di, etc., have been used up to now because of their specific meanings, which has protected a large number of intangible cultural heritages in China's historical and cultural cities. However, there are exceptions. 1948 changed its name to "zhongzheng road", which changed with the Chiang family's withdrawal from mainland politics. In the second year after the People's Liberation Army entered the city, that is, 1950, the road resumed to use the name "Weixin Road" which was destined 30 years ago. It was not until 1954 that the street names of Guangzhou changed greatly. The original north-south traffic artery "Zhonghua Road" was renamed "Jiefang Road" to commemorate the liberation of Guangzhou.
The earliest main roads in the 1950s included Huangsha Avenue and Huangpu Avenue, all of which were named after place names and common names. 1952, a new collective industrial zone rose on a piece of farmland, and an industrial avenue was born. 1957, binjiang road was born when Zhushui Nanwei filled the beach to build roads. Large-scale Huanshi East Road and Huanshi Middle Road were also completed and opened to traffic in 1957 and 1958, which, as the name implies, are the main roads around the city. It was also during this period that new settlements appeared and decorated the ancient Yangcheng.
Premier Zhou Enlai has instructed many times to help the water residents of the Pearl River who have been stranded in "floating houses" for generations to move to land as soon as possible. Therefore, Fangcun has built a dormitory for water residents, and the land road has been completed. The word "new village" is embedded in the contiguous development of large-scale new residential areas, such as Jianshe New Village completed by 1952, Huaqiao New Village completed three years later by 1955, Sushe New Village and Yujia New Village completed by 1958, as well as Workers' New Village, Farmers' New Village, Xiaogang New Village, Panfu New Village and Xingfu New Village. Every "new village" has a good reputation, which means a new life. Interestingly, some ugly place names have gradually been "eliminated" by new settlements. The snake land near Yuexiu Mountain, also known as "Shit Garden Mountain", has always been a wasteland and a messy grave. 195 1 year, rows of new houses sprang up on it, and the name of the neighboring mountain "Guihuagang" was unceremoniously used as the title of the film. The old place name was "shameful" and gradually forgotten.
The "Cultural Revolution" had a disastrous impact on China's traditional culture. At that time, the place name culture was immediately distorted, and many of them were marked with "red labels": Duan Long Road in the east and Huifu Road in the west were renamed as "Xiangyang Road"; East and West changshou road, renamed "Shuguang Road"; Guangfu Road, the third section of the north and south, was renamed "Guangming Road"; The five old roads, Enning Road, Shifu Road, Xiajiu Road, Shangjiu Road and Dade Road, were renamed Meili Road "(this road was of practical significance to commemorate the martyrs at that time); The third section of the North-South Dezheng Road was renamed "Lixin Road"; Liu Rong Road, Chaotian Road and Mishi Road were renamed as "Chaoyang Road"; Tiancheng Road, Shishu Road, Zhixing Road and Xiaoguang Road were renamed as "Mangrove Road". Da 'nan Road, Wen Ming Road and Donghua Road in the east-west section were renamed as "Yan 'an Road"; Tongfu Road in the east and west sections was renamed "Xiangqun Road"; Henan Middle Road, renamed "Yuejin Road"; Gaudi Street, named after the wealthy gentry who lived in the Song Dynasty, was renamed as "Mass Street" ... What's even more ridiculous is that I remember going out one morning and seeing the poster of "rebel" on the street, vowing to rename Fangcun as "Red Flag".
It is difficult for local people to adapt to the large-scale name change at once. Among the people, the place names before renaming are still in use, and this disorder did not end because of the ten-year catastrophe. It was not until 198 1 that most renamed roads and streets recovered their original names. Of course, some road names were renamed in the "Cultural Revolution" era and are still in use today. The reason is that they are the imprint of the times discussed before and have been generally accepted by people, so they will be preserved. For example, 1966, four old roads, namely Taiping South Road, Fengning Road, Chang Gung Road and Hu Chang Road, were merged and renamed as "Renmin Road", which is still in use today. Today, the name of Beijing Road is actually set by 1966 instead of the name of "Yonghan Road", which means "longing for the capital Beijing". The name of Qianjin Road in Haizhu District has also continued to this day at 1967, replacing the name of "Yungui Road". After the name of Weixin Road was changed, it finally gave way to the name of 1966 "Guangzhou Uprising Road" because of the former site of Guangzhou Commune (Guangzhou Soviet Government born in Guangzhou Uprising).
Li Jia: According to Modern Chinese Dictionary, A means promotion and A means first place. Together, the two literally mean to be promoted to the first place, implying the meaning of imperial examination high school. In Guangzhou, there used to be many place names similar to Luo's family, such as Hong Zhuan, which was renamed from Hakka. It's in progress now, and its previous name was Kingsley. During the Cultural Revolution, there were four classics, such as Ke Jiali and Jin Shili. They were all regarded as the scum of feudalism, and their tails were cut off and replaced with the words that were most branded by that era.
On the west side of Luojiali, there is also a blessed lane. Because Lun Wen, who lived here in the Ming Dynasty, won the first place, his sons Lun Yuyi and Lun Yixun successively won the flower exploration and the second place, hence the name "blessed land", which means outstanding people and outstanding people. Strictly speaking, Fudi Lane should be a part of Luo's family. According to Guangzhou City Square, "Fudi Lane is located in Ximen Kerry", and the legendary former residence of Lun-Fudi Lane 1 is located in the middle of Kerry, showing a "D" shape.
Zhuangyuanfang: It's called Zhuangyuanfang. In fact, it's not a big square or anything, but a narrow street with a width of only about 4 meters, 1-2 meters. On both sides of the street are small buildings with one or two floors, decorated with beige and reddish tiles.
Located in the southwest of the municipal government, east of Renmin South Road and Tiancheng Road. Formerly known as Taitongfang, it was renamed Zhuangyuanfang because the former residence of Zhang, the champion of the Song Dynasty, was here. There is also a saying to commemorate Zhang, the top scholar in the Song Dynasty, but it is specific: At that time, the Yuan army was under siege, Guangzhou was in a hurry, food was exhausted, and foreign aid was exhausted. In order to protect the people of Guangzhou from the slaughter of the Yuan army who entered the city, Zhang would rather surrender and be captured, so Guangzhou was not slaughtered. On his way back to Beijing, Zhang committed suicide in Dayuling under the escort of Yuan Bing. Therefore, Guangzhou people set up the champion archway for Zhang's former residence and renamed the street "Taitongli" where he once lived as "Zhuangyuanfang". Historically, Zhuangyuan Square was famous for its traditional handicrafts such as gold-plated jewelry, embroidered skirts and dresses, and costumes. Now it is a famous flea market in Guangzhou, with all kinds of novelty and fun.
Tan Hua Lane: the inner street on the south side of Kwai Lane in Jiefang Middle Road, whose name is related to Wen Kuixing in Kwai Lane. As for whether anyone has explored flowers in this alley, the reporter found that even people who live here have different opinions. Some people have really explored flowers, but some people think that it was originally a lively flower market, hence the name Tan Hua. According to historical records, most of the sides of Tan Hua Lane used to be ancestral halls, but the word "Tan Hua" in the book has no textual research.
Gong Xue Street: On the west side of Jiefang Middle Road and Mishi Road, it was the street in front of Gong Xueqian in Nanhai County during the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, hence its name.
Fu Xue West Street: Zhongshan 4th Road in the north and Wen Ming Road in the south. It was named because it was located on the west side of Fu Xue Palace in Guangzhou in Song Dynasty.
College: West Street on the north side of Wen Ming Road, Lee Seung-Hyun in the north and Yuxianfang in the south. Originally built in the Song Dynasty, Fu Xue became a folk house. The name "College" is related to Fu Xue.
Yuehua Road: Auspicious Road in the east, Xinma Road in the west, intersecting Zhengnan Road and Renguang Road. It was called Temple Back Street in Qing Dynasty, and there was Yuehua Academy in Qing Dynasty, so 1920 was renamed Yuehua Road when it was expanded into a road.
Shutong Lane: It is located on the west side of Haizhu North Road, and connects with Xiaoguang Road in the west. The Qing Dynasty was the seat of the right-wing official schools of Guangdong Eight Banners and Manchu Eight Banners (later renamed Mingda Academy), so it was probably commonly known as "Academy Hutong" and later referred to as "Shutong".
Yuexiu College Street: West of Beijing Road, west of Dazhan Street. It is named because it is located in the south of Yuexiu Academy in Qing Dynasty.
Baisha Lane: Chen Xianzhang, a great scholar and poet in Ming Dynasty, moved to Baisha Village (now Jiangmen City) with his father when he was a teenager. He is often called Mr. Baisha internationally. Chen Xianzhang used to give lectures on Fengning Road, so there is a road called "Baisha Lane".
Zhan Jia Street: Located on the north side of Fazheng Road, adjacent to the Guangzhou Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China in the west. Because this area is the villa of Shang Shu Zhan Ruoshui in Ming Dynasty, it was named Zhan Jia Street when it was demolished in the middle of Qing Dynasty.
Cuifu Street: the west side of Chaotian Road meets Agate Lane in the west. It was named after Choi Woo-shik, a famous minister in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Lee Seung-Hyun: On the east side of Beijing Road, it is connected with Fu Xue West Street and College in the east. It may be named after the former residence of famous scholars Huang Yu and Huang Zuo in Ming Dynasty. Long 1 13m, mostly residential.
There has been no accurate textual research on the origin of the name of Dongshan, but it is said that there is a hill near the East Gate, but this hill has now disappeared.
The "historical lane" near Cangbian Road in Guangzhou turned out to be a "shit lane".
Speaking of architectural place names, it has not changed much since the founding of the People's Republic of China almost 20 years ago, because there are no tall buildings to speak of. Only Yangcheng Hotel (renamed Oriental Hotel five years later) built in 196 1 is eligible to be included in the local list. 1968 When the Guangzhou Spring Fair opened, people paid attention to the newly completed Guangzhou tallest building-"Guangzhou Hotel", and its sub-name "27th Floor" was also rendered with a strong mystery. Prior to this, the commanding heights of Guangzhou for decades were Aiqun Building and South Building. Eight years after the independence of Guangzhou Hotel, the name of "Baiyun Hotel" sounded, and its sub-name was "32nd Floor", and it continued to dominate for many years.
