Obviously a native of Guangzhou, why do you write about the South China Sea or Panyu?

The Haixin Bridge Pedestrian Bridge, which was built last year, has become a tourist punch point for many foreign tourists.

It is said that the birth of the name "Haixin Bridge" has also undergone a lot of twists and turns. In the end, it is estimated that "Haixin" is more in line with the characteristics of the location and the surrounding environment and stands out. There are also methods of names, as well as Haizhu Bridge and Haiyin Bridge: They are named because there is a "sea pearl stone" and "sea seal stone" on the side of the bridge.

However, with the changes of the world, these stones and landmark buildings that were accompanied by the bridge and the truth were gradually disappearing, and the origin of the name became confusing.

There are also many geographical terms and names that have a long history and are still in use to this day. They also confuse everyone because of complex changes. I wonder if you have the same confusion below?

Is the South China Sea and Panyu in the same place in the same place?

Leaving aside the international geography, if you only say that Guangdong Geography, now everyone mentioned the South China Sea, it will know that it belongs to the South China Sea District under the jurisdiction of Foshan City, bordering Fangcun District and Baiyun District, Guangzhou.

But in fact, the place name of the South China Sea was much larger than the scope referred to now.

The South China Sea was named after the waters of the south. It was originally divided into an administrative area. After the Qin Shihuang, the Qin Shihuang and Zhao Yan captured Lingnan after the Qin Dynasty was destroyed.

The jurisdiction of Nanhai County is roughly equal to the current Guangdong Province, and the county rule is located in Panyu. At that time, Panyu was actually the old name when Guangzhou was first built.

There are two sayings about the origin of the name Panyu:

One is the city built between the two hills of the two hills of Fan Mountain and Mountain, called Panyu. Fan Shan is said to be now in the area of ​​Guangzhou Fangcao Street, and Mountain is now near Beijing Road, Beijing Road, and the two hills were later tied in the southern Han Dynasty.

Another saying is because the Lingnan area of ​​the Qin Dynasty was still regarded as a place outside, and Panyu was "Fanwai Yizheng". At first, it was written as "Fan Yan", but then it slowly became "Panyu". This statement can also find many historical traces in the archeology of the South Vietnamese Palace and the Tomb of the South Vietnam.

For more than two thousand years, from the counties and counties in the Qin and Han dynasties, to the states in the Wei, Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties, to the Dao of the Tang and Song dynasties, to the provinces of the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and even the provinces and cities after the Republic of China. It has been continuously reforming the administrative area according to the needs of the governance at that time, and the place names of various places have been constantly changed due to various political needs. However, the two place names of the South China Sea and Panyu have been used along. For example, in the end of the Qing Dynasty, the South China Sea and Panyu became the county names of the two counties. It was divided into the west of Guangzhou City and west of Guangzhou City. I will not write my own native writing in Guangzhou, but the reason for writing the South China Sea or Panyu.

After China's reform and opening up, the South China Sea and Panyu have established county -level cities. After entering the 21st century, the South China Sea and Panyu merged into Foshan and Guangzhou, respectively, becoming the districts under the jurisdiction of the latter two.

To understand the above -mentioned causes and consequences, we can find that in different ages, the South China Sea and Panyu actually have their own point. In particular, the origin of historical figures must also be analyzed in detail. Do not simply think that the South China Sea and Panyu people in history are equal to the people of the South China Sea and Panyu District, otherwise it is easy to make a joke.

How long can Guangzhou traceable history?

On February 15, 2021, Guangzhou celebrated the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the city. At that time, some netizens asked in surprise: "Didn't Guangzhou have a history of two thousand years? How can we build the 100th anniversary of the city?"

In ancient times, "cities" and "city" were two concepts. The former refers to the military base protected by the city walls. Generally, officials will work in the city, while the latter is a trading place for the commercial economy.

Later, the two gradually combined into one, and became "cities", that is, dense population, developed industry and commerce, and geographical areas with administrative jurisdiction and providing public services.

The history of the construction of the city in Guangzhou can be traced back to 214 BC. The Panyu City established by the Qin Dynasty and the establishment of Zhao Yan are probably located in the center of the Yuexiu District of Guangzhou City.

Until the period of the Three Kingdoms in 226, Sun Quan of Wu Guo divided the original Jiaozhou into two parts: Jiazhou and Guangzhou. The state governance of Guangzhou was scheduled to be in Panyu City at that time. Later, as the administrative area continued to evolve, the Taoist system replaced the state system, but the name "Guangzhou" was retained, replacing the original "Panyu" and became the name of the city.

In the past two thousand years, with the increasing population and the continuous expansion of the city walls, in the scope of Guangzhou City in the late Qing Dynasty, the east of Yuexiu Middle Road, the west to the present, the south to the present, the small road from the south The area of ​​North Road is roughly equal to the central area of ​​Yuexiu District.

However, because the Qing Dynasty adopted the provincial, government, and county -level administrative divisions, the jurisdiction of the province was equivalent to the current province, and the county's jurisdiction is equivalent to the current district and county, but the government's jurisdiction scope But much larger than the current city. Therefore, various affairs in Guangzhou are managed by Nanhai County and Panyu County, respectively, and the division of the two counties at that time was probably on the current liberation road.

Such management methods are of course not adapting to the development needs of modern cities. Therefore, after the Revolution of 1911, Chen Jiongming, deputy governor of the Guangdong Military Government, referred to the modern Western state and put forward the idea of ​​setting up Guangzhou independently to manage the management of the city.

However, it was not until February 15, 1921 that the Guangzhou City Hall was officially established. Sun Ke served as the first mayor in Guangzhou. This was the beginning of the official establishment of Guangzhou. After the establishment of the Guangzhou City Hall, it is stipulated that "Guangzhou is a local administrative area, which is directly affiliated with the provincial government, and does not enter the county's administrative scope." This also marks that Guangzhou has become the first city -type administrative district of modern China.

When we figure out the relationship between ancient cities and modern cities, we naturally understand why Guangzhou clearly has a history of more than 2,000 years, but we have to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the establishment of the city.

Does Guangfu and Guangzhou government say the same meaning?

We often say that we are from Guangfu. We must speak Guangfu and inherit the Guangfu culture. But what exactly does "Guangfu" mean?

The word "Guangfu" is actually from the "Guangzhou House", which was established in the administrative area of ​​the Ming Dynasty.

The status of the Guangzhou government is below Guangdong Province and above the counties. Therefore, some people often compare the ancient Guangzhou government with the current Guangzhou city, which is obviously not understanding the ancient and modern political system.

During the Ming Dynasty, the Guangzhou government jurisdiction over 15 counties and 15 counties in the Qing Dynasty, and the Guangzhou government was under the jurisdiction of 14 counties in the Qing Dynasty. The scope was roughly the entire Pearl River Delta and included Hong Kong and Macao, which is much larger than the current jurisdiction of Guangzhou.

However, at that time, the governor of Guangdong and the gate of Zhifu in Guangzhou, and even the gate of Nanhai County and Panyu County were located in Guangzhou City. This is likely to cause many people to misunderstand.

If "Guangzhou House" is a geographical term, then Guangfu is essentially the concept of nationalology. It belongs to a civilian department under the Han nationality. Like Hakkas and Chaoshan people, they belong to one of the three major people in Guangdong Province. Essence Therefore, we can define Guangfu people, Guangfu dialect, and Guangfu culture as ethnic, language and culture that originated from the area under the jurisdiction of the ancient Guangzhou government. However, with the large -scale flow of the population, the places where Guangfu people now live in are far more than the areas under the jurisdiction of the ancient Guangzhou government. Overseas, such as Southeast Asia, North America, Australia, etc., there are also many settlements of Guangfu people. Therefore, when we want to define where the "Guangfu area", we will become a lot more complicated.

In terms of linguistics, any language symbol is composed of "energy finger" and "referred to". "Can refer" is the sound image of the language, and "referred to" is the concept of things reflected by the language.

Although we still use the "South China Sea", "Panyu", "Guangzhou" and other geographical terms so far, the connotation it refers to is often different in different periods and even different contexts.

Therefore, when we discuss Guangzhou's humanistic history and geographical geography, we must stay more, otherwise "knowing and knowing" will be easy to make people laugh.

Dear friends,

Do you find the place names of different ancient and modern connotations?
