Siyi language exploration source: one way of spreading

In the distance between the two places, the old people often say "a few steps", in fact, "how many ways are paved." It is equivalent to how many kilometers are now.

Nowadays, there is no such statement in society, so when the old people say this, it will inevitably make the younger generations surprised. How far is it possible for this "paving"? So, how many kilometers are the "paving" in this old population?

It is understood that the "paving the way" that the old people are said are actually ten miles, that is, a distance of five kilometers. Because people's transportation basically walked, walking is commonplace, and even often takes forward. Therefore, for the older generation, it is not far away to embark on "one way" and "two paving the way". Some elderly people still say "not far away, just pave the way."

In the eyes of the elderly, taking one or two "shops" road was completely small for them. Therefore, if young people now hear the old people say "paving the way", don't think that they are "one step", they think that the distance is very close. In fact, it is said to be the "five -kilometer road", far away.

So, what is this "shop"? how did it get here

As early as in the Song Dynasty, in order to pass the documents, there was a post shop, and each ten miles were set to be a shop. So far, the place names in Zaipu in Shanwei City include Maluopu, Haifeng County, and Gaoshapu, Fair Town.

Before setting up the station, it was the "Shili and One Pavilion" set up by Qin Shihuang. In the early Han Dynasty, there were only "thirty miles and one post" rules and the setting of the station.

There is a system of post -biography in the Song Dynasty. The system of the Yuan Dynasty was even more strict. The ten miles of the state and counties were a shop. Ming and Qing Yin. Chaozhou people still call Shili Road as a "paving the way", which originated from this post -pass system. How did these "Fu" names come from?

There is a place name in Guangzhou. How did the name of the eighteen Fu come from? This eighteenfu was related to paving the way to pave the way.

According to legend, in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, King Pingnan still led the Qing soldiers to capture Guangzhou City and was intercepted by the people along the way. Especially when the Qing soldiers drove to the Dragon Eye Cave in the suburbs of Guangzhou, they lost their soldiers and suffered heavy casualties. Essence

Shang Kexi vowed to wash Guangzhou with blood, ready to kill people for three days, and slammed eighteen paving the way from Ximen to solve the hatred of his heart. At that time, Wang Xiangquan, a staff member of the conscience, learned of the inside story and was shocked. He thought: "One paving is ten miles, eighteen shops are 180 miles, blood washing eighteen shops, how many people in Guangzhou died in the butcher knife knife. Under! "When he was extremely anxious, he suddenly thought:" Fu "and" shop "in ancient times, why not" shop "on behalf of" Fu ", this can reduce the harm of innocence.

Wang Xiangquan immediately called two soldiers to explain to them so. Ask them to make more than a dozen wooden signs, write "first shop" and "second shop", and write until "Eighteen Shop". Then get the logo overnight. Starting from the first Jin Dynasty, it is a "first shop"; crossing the street, and nailing on the "second shop"; after 20 or thirty meters, nail "the third shop"; turn around, and then Nailing on the "Fourth Shop"; when it is nail to "ninth shop", I find that this street is very long, and I am afraid of causing doubts. Smart soldiers stand out and use the six veins as the boundary. Jiupu. After all overnight, I finally finished the wooden cards of "Eighteen Shop".

The next day, the Qing soldiers who performed the "killing eighteen shops" were not familiar with the environment. I didn't know the bottom, and it turned out that it would kill the wooden sign of the "Eighteen Shop".

The other people heard that the Qing soldiers slaughtered the city, and rushed to the six veins to avoid it. How did you know that there was just a heavy rain that day, and the water of the six veins rose steeply. This is the tragedy of "killing eighteen shops, filled the corpse" in Guangzhou history.

Later, in order to avoid stuffing, people quietly scraped off the "paving" gold in the wooden sign. In this way, the word "shop" became "Fu". In this way, a series of place names with the word "Fu" appeared in Xiguan. (Text/Nie Juping)
