Who knows the origin of the name of Zhangmutou Town, Dongguan!
Zhangmutou, formerly known as Tai'an. As an important thoroughfare between Guangdong and Hong Kong, Tai'an has always been a battleground for military strategists. Legend has it that in the early Qing Dynasty, the emperor sent officials to inspect coastal defense and passed through Tai'an. At that time, the immortality of Chengbaoshan Mountains in Tai'an and the tree species left by Wong Tai Sin, thousand-year-old camphor trees, were all over the mountains and fields, and the cool breeze brought bursts of fragrance. The Lord Inspector went all the way south, tired from the boat and the carriage, and felt relaxed and happy as the fragrant wind drifted by, so he ordered to set up camp. The Lord Inspector sat at the head of a thousand-year-old tree and asked the local guide what kind of tree was so magical. The guide told us that it was a camphor tree, and the tree top where you were sitting was camphor wood. He also told the legend of Wong Tai Sin and the efficacy of the camphor tree. The inspector laughed loudly: camphor trees can drive away miasma, and camphor trees can retain people. It is really a geomantic treasure land with prosperous wealth and outstanding people. So he ordered the local officials to change the name of this place to Zhangmutou. From then on, Tai'an was renamed Zhangmutou.
