An interesting story about the village names of Minamishima Island
As for the interesting facts about the village names in Minamishima, I have actually been paying attention to it in the past few years. At that time, Yuquan’s father often talked about Nansan Island with us brothers, and talked about some Nansan Sansan and Nansan things that were little known to us. Among them, the account of the historical changes of some villages in Nansandao was very interesting. It was an eye-opener for us. According to legend, the first ancestors to move to Nansan Island were a family surnamed Liang. One day, he traveled across the ocean and came to this uninhabited island. He found that although it was desolate, it had fertile water and grass, lush forests, and heron habitats everywhere. He felt that the feng shui was very good, so he moved his family here. He settled in the middle of the island and thrived for generations. This ancestor is now the ancestor of Xinding Village in Nansan Island. But when did Nansan Islands become inhabited? Or where did the earliest ancestors who moved to the three southern islands come from? Regarding these, it is still a historical mystery so far. Whether it is the official history, unofficial history of the past dynasties, or the local chronicles of the past dynasties, there are few records or blanks. Even Nan and the other three couldn't figure out where their ancestors came from? As far as the Nansan Islands are concerned, it is the seventh largest island in China and the second largest island in Guangdong Province. It has a distinctive feature, that is, it is an artificially connected island. Because historically, Nansan Island is an archipelago scattered on the sea of Guangzhou Bay. It consists of 11 small islands that are not connected to each other. These 11 small islands include Tiantou Island, Dengta Island, Fengnian Island, Badong Island, Nanjiao Island, Wuli Island, Tiaodong Island, Huangcun Island, Beiya Island, Diju Island, Jiaoyudun Island and Techeng Island.
