Does anyone know where Guangdong came from?
Talk about the origin of Guangdong
To know where Guangdong comes from? You must know "Guangxin"; to know "Guangxin" you must know "Cangwu" ". "The Chronicles of the Five Emperors" records: "Shun was heard as a filial piety at the age of twenty, Yao promoted him at the age of thirty, took charge of the affairs of the emperor at the age of fifty, Yao died at the age of fifty-eight, succeeded to the throne at the age of sixty-one, and practiced the throne for thirty-nine years , went hunting in the south, collapsed in the Cangwu wilderness, and was buried in Jiuyi in the south of the Yangtze River, which is called Lingling. "The first person on the southern tour in China was Emperor Shun. He went to Xiangtan and played the song "Yu" against the mountains in Mao Zedong's hometown. Shao", so it is called Shaoshan. Continuing the southern tour, we came to the north of Wuling Mountains, which was blocked by Guanshan Mountain and could not hear the music of Yu Shao, so it was called Shaoguan. The place names such as Shaoguan, Wenshao, and Xinshao to this day all illustrate the situation of Emperor Shun's southern tour. Emperor Shun died in the wilderness of Cangwu. This Cangwu is today's Guangdong Province in Lingnan, most of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and parts of Hunan Province. "Cang" refers to "Cang", and "Wu" refers to "Wu". This warehouse belongs to me and is also my warehouse. Emperor Shun in ancient times knew very well the significance of his southern tour, which was to open up my warehouse in the jungle. At that time, the capital of Cangwu was Guangxin. Guangxin is located on the edge of Hejiang River, from Jiangkou in Fengkai County, Guangdong to Xindu in Hezhou, Guangxi.
In pre-Qin Guangdong, Xia and Shang belonged to Yangzhou, Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States belonged to Chu. To this day, there is still an inscription of "Chu Ting" on Yuexiu Mountain in Guangzhou. The so-called "Chu" refers to the place where roads can be found after cutting down trees. In the same sense, Guangdong is also a place of "Ancient Yue". In ancient times, the Lingnan region where Guangdong is located was also where the Baiyue people lived. The so-called "Baiyue" refers to the places where the Yue people live in the south, such as Wuyue, Chuyue, Ouyue, Minyue, Luoyue, Nanyue, Manyue, etc. These places where forests in the south grew lushly in ancient times where the trees needed to be cut down with axes and axes. . "Baiyue" is also called "Baiyue". In addition to having the same pronunciation, we also need to understand why the abbreviation of Guangdong Province today is "Guangdong". The word "Cantonese" is formed by combining the prefix "shen" and the suffix "xi". The modal particle "xi" is the most commonly used word in Chu Ci. You must know that Guangdong was the land of Chu in ancient times. Furthermore, "Guangdong" has the same pronunciation as "Yue" and "Yue", and "Baiyue" refers to the miasma of the Southern Barbarians where in ancient times one had to use an ax to cut down the trees before walking, and one also had to be careful about breathing and speaking. "Guangdong" is the abbreviation of Guangdong, which means that Cantonese people should breathe carefully and speak carefully.
After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he established Cangwu and surrounding areas as Nanhai County (most of today's Guangdong), Guilin County (most of today's Guangxi), and Xiang County (now northern Vietnam and part of Guangxi) ) and other three counties. Nanhai County initially had four counties: Panyu, Longchuan, Boluo, and Zhongsu (today's Sihui and Qingyuan), and later Jieyang County was added. The county seat of Nanhai County is Panyu County (now Guangzhou City). In ancient times, people from the Central Plains mistakenly thought that Lingnan was a foreign country and called it "Panyu". They even regarded Cantonese as "Fanhua". The word "Panyu" and the word "神鬼" both have the word "field" in them. Field is the basis for people's survival. The reason why people pray for first-class harvests when picking seeds in the fields is to grasp the elasticity of the fields. Law, this is the meaning of "神" and "Fan". The reason why people are stupid is that they don't know that there are "people" seeking personal gain in the dark during the day, or there are people secretly causing trouble in the fields, so nothing grows on the fields. This is the meaning of "ghost" and "Yu". People in reality can survive in the fields, but they hope to be gods when they die in the future; people in the past were monkeys, and they evolved from monkeys. "Yu" is a kind of monkey mentioned in ancient books, and it is also said to be a big-headed insect. People all hope for divine help. In fact, "ghost help" is also very important. The gods in heaven and local ghosts help each other, and the ghosts and gods bring blessings to Panyu. Aren’t human souls all “ghosts”, “clouds”, and “white”? In fact, whether it is Panyu, Baiyun Mountain, or Guangzhou, the constellations where they are located belong to the wells, ghosts, and Suzaku in the south of the twenty-eight constellations. Among the seven places of Liu, Xing, Zhang, Yi and Zhen, this is the positioning of Panyu. Ren Xiao, the captain of Nanhai County in Panyu, told Zhao Tuo his last words before his death, "Panyu is burdened with dangerous mountains and blocks the South China Sea. It is thousands of miles from east to west. There are quite a few Chinese people to help. This is also the lord of a state and can establish a country." Here. Explain clearly the geographical location, role and development trend of Panyu.
When Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, Chen Sheng, and Wu Guang rebelled at the end of Qin Dynasty, Zhao Tuo sent troops to attack Guilin and Xiangjun, and established the "Nanyue Kingdom" in Lingnan. The Five Emperors of the South Vietnam Kingdom, AD 93 (204 BC to 111 BC).
The development of Lingnan began with Emperor Shun, and went through more than two thousand years of Yu, Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn, Warring States, and Qin. By the time Zhao Tuo established the Nanyue Kingdom in 204 BC and made Panyu its capital, the economy was already quite developed. . Today, in the "Museum of the Tomb of the Nanyue King of the Western Han Dynasty" in Xianggang Mountain, Jiefang North Road, Guangzhou, you can see the unearthed "Emperor Wen's Seal" gold seal, silver box, bronze hook, angular jade cup, silk-cut jade clothing and other cultural relics, which fully illustrates the Guangzhou had such a splendid civilization more than two thousand years ago. Unfortunately, it is rarely recorded in the Central Plains documents preserved in the past.
In the fifth year of Yuanding (112 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to conquer South Vietnam. He divided 100,000 troops into five groups to attack and destroyed the South Vietnam Kingdom the following year. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed the territory of Nanyue Kingdom to Jiaozhou. Yang Xiong's "Jiaozhou Admonition" said: "Jiaozhou is a wasteland, with water and the sky. If you lift Jiaozhou, the South China Sea is in it. If you lift Jiaozhou, you can also summarize Guangdong. It is called 'Jiaozhi', the toe of Jiaozhou." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established Jiaozhou. It governs present-day Guangdong, Guangxi and central and northern Vietnam, and its capital is located in Guangxin County. The capital is not located in Panyu County, but in Guangxin County. Firstly, it is beneficial to administer a wider territory, and secondly, it can prevent the establishment of a "restoration" base of South Vietnam. Guangxin County is located on the edge of Hejiang River and Guijiang River, not far from the water transportation line that Qin Shihuang dug the Ling Canal to connect the Yangtze River and the Pearl River. Guangxin County was established in the sixth year of Yuanding (116 BC), the sixth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that is, five years after the destruction of the Nanyue Kingdom. The name "Guangxin" means "the land of Guangdong was first opened, and it is appropriate to spread favor and trust in Guangdong". Even "Cangwu" was renamed "Fengzhong", which was recorded on the map unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha in 1973. In the eighth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 203), the Jiaozhi Governor's Ministry was renamed Jiaozhou, and gradually acquired administrative power and became the highest administrative agency in Lingnan. Only then did the capital of Jiaozhi move east from Guangxin County to Panyu County.
In the fifth year of Huangwu in the Three Kingdoms period (AD 226), Sun Quan considered that the Lingnan area was too vast and difficult to govern, so he divided Jiaozhou into two parts: Jiaozhou and Guangzhou. Guangzhou governed what is now Guangdong Province. most areas. During the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the world was in chaos. "Book of Song·Biography Volume 57" records: "The mountains in Guangzhou are packed with wild beasts, and there are many kinds of beasts. They have been invaded repeatedly before and after, and have suffered from them in the past." Guangzhou is far away from the wars in the Central Plains, and mostly ships and trades with Southeast Asian countries. Wealthy. "Book of Southern Qi·Biography Volume 39" also contains: "As for the Nanyi hybrids, they divided the island to establish a country. There are rare and strange things in all directions, but none of them are the first. The mountains are hidden in the sea, and the treasures are overflowing. The merchant ships are far away and are entrusted to Nanzhou. "In the first year of Renshou (AD 601), Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty changed Guangzhou to Fanzhou, and in a few years it was renamed Guangzhou. In the Tang Dynasty, he was the envoy of Lingnan East Road. He governed Guangzhou and governed the prefectures of Guang, Shao, Xun, Gang, En, Chun, He, Chao, Duan, Teng, Kang, Feng, Long, Gao, Yi, Xin, Qin and Dou. "("Old Book of Tang·Zhi No. 18") In 905 during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Liu Yin became the envoy of Lingnan. In 917, his younger brother Liu Yan (Liu Yan) proclaimed himself emperor, the country was named Han, and it was called Southern Han in history. The areas under its jurisdiction include Guangzhou, Shaozhou, Chaozhou, Rongzhou, Yongzhou, Jiaozhou, Guizhou, Hezhou, Lianzhou and Chenzhou. Liu reigned for 25 years. Liu's third son, Liu Bin, was killed by his younger brother two years after he succeeded to the throne. Liu Sheng killed his brother and usurped the throne, reigning for 16 years. Liu Sheng's eldest son Liu Yuan reigned for 14 years and was destroyed by the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, "Guangzhou" was changed to "Guangnan East Road", or "Guangdong" for short. According to "Song History·Zhi No. 43": "Guangnan East Road. Prefecture 1: Zhaoqing. Prefecture 14: Guang, Shao, Xun, Chao, Lian, Mei, Nanxiong, Ying, He, Feng, Xin, Kang , Nan'en, Hui. County 43. After crossing to the south, Prefecture 3: Zhaoqing, Deqing, Yingde. Prefecture 11: Guang, Shao, Xun, Chao, Lien, Feng, Xin, Nan'en, Mei, Xiong. , Hui." From this point of view, "Wu named Guangzhou, which was based on Guangxin; Song Dynasty named Guangnan Road, which was also based on Guangxin." The Song Dynasty divided Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road, and Guangxin was also used as the dividing line. The east of Guangxin is called Guangdong; the west of Guangxin is called Guangxi. Historically speaking, "Guangzhou" first came into existence during the Wu Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms, and then the term "Guangdong" came into being during the Song Dynasty. They were all divided by Guangxin.
The Yuan Dynasty retained the "Guangdong Road", which included Guangzhou Road, Shaozhou Road, Huizhou Road, Nanxiong Road, Chaozhou Road, Deqing Road, Zhaoqing Road, as well as Yingzhou, Meizhou and Nan'enzhou , Fengzhou, Xinzhou, Guiyangzhou, Lianzhou, Xunzhou, etc. The history of the Ming Dynasty records: "In March of the second year of Hongwu, Hainan Road was taken over by Hainan Road and it belonged to Guangxi Xingzhongshu Province. In April, Guangdong Road was changed to Guangdong Xingchu Xingzhongshu Province. In June, Hainan and Haibei Road were taken over and belonged to Yan. In the eleventh year of the fourth year, it was taken over by Haibei Road. In October of the same year, the Duwei of Guangdong was under the same administration as the Zhongshu Province. There are seven prefectures and seventy-five counties.
It reaches Wuling in the north and borders Jiangxi. It reaches Chaozhou in the east and borders Fujian. It reaches Qinzhou in the west and borders Guangxi. South to Qionghai. "("History of Ming Dynasty·Zhi No. 21") and "Manuscript of History of Qing Dynasty" contains: "Guangdong: Yugong is a southern descendant of Yangzhou. In the Ming Dynasty, the Chief Envoy was established to govern Guangzhou. In the early Qing Dynasty, it was designated as a province due to the Ming Dynasty. "It has six roads under its jurisdiction: Guangzhao Luo Road, Shaolian Road, Huichaojia Road, Gao Leiyang Road, Lianqin Road and Qiongya Road. In the Republic of China, the administrative divisions of the Qing Dynasty were still maintained, with six roads: Guangdong and Hai Road, Lingnan Road, Chaoxun Road, Gaolei Road, Qiongya Road, and Qinlian Road have undergone many changes in the administrative regions of Guangdong. Up to now, the administrative divisions of Guangdong Province are divided into 21 cities: Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, and Foshan. , Shantou, Shaoguan, Qingyuan, Heyuan, Huizhou, Shanwei, Chaozhou, Jieyang, Meizhou, Jiangmen, Zhaoqing, Yunfu, Yangjiang, Maoming, Zhanjiang, Dongguan, Zhongshan.
The so-called "Guang" in Guangdong. "Guang" should include east and west, north and south, up and down, left and right, inside and outside, heaven and earth, mountains and oceans. Otherwise, it is not enough to say "Guang". The "Guang" in Guangdong refers to the breadth of the universe. The word "Guang" is from Shuowen "Jie Zi" explains: "The big house of the palace is also called Guanghuang Sheng. "The traditional Chinese character for "Guang" means that there is yellow land and yellow people under the big house of Guangdian. The original Guangdong was really "Guangdong". In addition to the entire Guangdong Province today, it also included Hong Kong, which was occupied by the British in 1842. Macau, which was occupied by Portugal in 1553, was assigned to Dongxing, Qinzhou, Fangcheng, Beihai, Hepu, Lingshan and other places in Guangxi in 1965. Hainan Island was assigned to Guangdong Province in 1988. The head of the Peng stretches out the Beibu Gulf and the South Coast as two huge wings, a Kunpeng rising to the sky in the south. Today's Guangdong Province is like the Pearl River formed by the three green dragons of Xijiang, Beijiang and Dongjiang, and a dragon leaping towards the South China Sea. .
In the future, Guangzhou is very likely to become a municipality directly under the central government and move away from Guangdong. In fact, Guangzhou’s economic strength has surpassed that of Tianjin and Chongqing, and is close to Beijing’s GDP in 2006. Yuan, Tianjin is 433 billion yuan, Chongqing is 340 billion yuan, and Beijing is 772 billion yuan. The city of Guangzhou is bound to become a municipality directly under the central government and become the capital of China in the future. At that time, the capital city of Guangdong will have to move away from Guangzhou. Where should the capital city of Guangdong be moved? The most ideal place is Boluo County. Boluo was one of the four counties established in Nanhai County in the Qin Dynasty, with Luofu Mountain (Dongqiao Mountain) as its backbone and the Dongjiang River as its jade belt. , is the geomantic treasure of Guangdong Province. Even after Guangzhou was directly governed, Guangdong is still a place with a very vast world.
Guangdong should have the meaning of "east". "Shuowen Jiezi" explains: "Moving means, Congmu Guan Pu said, Congri is in the wood, and everything belonging to the east is from the east." "Since Guangdong has "east", it must be "east". This "east" is the traditional Chinese "日" and "木" means "东,东". Guangdong can be the first to bathe in the sunshine of the world. On the land of Guangdong All the trees and talents on the land of Guangdong can thrive under the sunshine, all can be cultivated, and all can become useful. Guangdong people have done "East" in the history of modern revolution, and they have also done "East" in the era of reform and opening up. ", we still have to be "East" in the 21st century. What can be done about this? Who calls you a "Cantonese"? Since you have "East", you should be "East". The word "East" in Guangdong should still be "日", "人" and "十" mean "东". People with the word "东" are the first to welcome the new day and the new sun every day. Cantonese people must dare to be "East". It is not just the east of Cangwu, the east of Lingnan, nor the east of the south of the time and space coordinate "ten", but the east of the west, the east of the north, and the east of the east of the "ten". Guangdong people should not only do the revolution. The importance of "faith" in Guangdong is self-evident. The source of Guangdong is "Guangdong". No source; without faith, "东" has no roots. The word "xin" is explained in "Shuowen Jiezi" as: "Sincerity." "Mutual training on integrity, "sincerity" focuses on the subjective, and "faith" focuses on the objective; "sincerity" is the natural reality, and "faithfulness" is the reality of being a person; "sincerity" means "words", "achievement" or "achievement" "Words" and "faith" refer to "people" and "words" or "words" and "people". If a person wants to truly become an upright person, he should be sincere in his heart, trustworthy in his words, and successful in his actions. "Integrity" is The traditional virtue of the Chinese nation is, "If a man has no faith, he does not know what he is capable of." "A man who has faith is a great treasure to his ruler. The country is protected by the people, and the people are protected by faith; without faith, the people cannot be protected, and without the people, the country cannot be protected. "Integrity is not only a great treasure for the establishment of a country, but also a great treasure for the establishment of the people, and it is also a great treasure for the establishment of Guangdong Province.
Guangdong is a province founded on integrity, except that Guangdong is named after the "East of Guangxin" and has the word "xin" in it, which should have the meaning of "faith". Guangdong is located outside the mountains and rivers, far away from China. As the saying goes, "A long road can tell a horse's power, and time can tell a person's heart." If you want the people of the Central Plains to believe you, it is not a matter of one day and one night in terms of time, and it is not a matter of one or two miles in terms of space. It is not a matter of "faith". No. In addition, Guangdong had established the Nanyue Kingdom, the Southern Han Kingdom, and the Nanming Dynasty in history, which also made the central government have a grudge. In fact, the establishment of the Nanyue Kingdom enabled Lingnan to avoid the suffering of wars in the late Qin and early Han Dynasties and accelerated the development of the Lingnan region. The establishment of the Southern Han Kingdom in Guangdong by the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms during the Tang and Song Dynasties also showed that Guangdong will always be classified as Han nationality. The aspirations of descendants; and the Nanming Dynasty was established by Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants and lasted only 40 days. At that time, it was just unwilling to be ruled by foreigners. Maintaining the reunification of the motherland and safeguarding human peace has always been the orthodox belief of the Guangdong people.
Guangxin Zhidong, honesty and integrity should be the purpose that every Guangdong person must keep in mind.
