1. About the cultural and historical background of Maoming

According to historical records, Maoming belonged to Xiang County and Nanhai County in the Qin Dynasty, and Maoming County was established in the Sui Dynasty. Maoming City was established in 1959, and the system of city governing county was implemented in 1983. Now it governs Maonan District, Maogang District and Dianbai County, and also manages Gaozhou City, Huazhou City and Xinyi City.

in Maoming, in the late Neolithic period 4,511 years ago, indigenous peoples were thriving. It was called Baiyue nationality in Xia and Shang Dynasties. Maoming has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain erosion, leaving many places of interest. The Xiantai Temple in Gaozhou, Guanshan Temple, Baoguang Pagoda, Changpo Old City, Zhenlong Ancient Academy Group in Xinyi, Confucius Temple in Huazhou, Bell and Drum Tower in Dianbai, Xiantai's hometown, dinosaur egg in Maonan and other cultural landscapes are fascinating and rich in cultural heritage. Maoming has produced many famous people in history. For example, Mrs. Xian Tai, who was called "the first heroine of China" by Premier Zhou, Gao Lishi, an important official in the Tang Dynasty, and Chen Jian, a famous genius in Lingnan, were all from Gaozhou. Today, most historical sites are developed into scenic spots for tourists to visit.

Maoming's city name originated from people's names, from people's names to county names, and from county names to city names.

According to the Records of Gaozhou Prefecture in Wanli of Ming Dynasty, in Yongjia period (317-313) at the end of Western Jin Dynasty, there was a man from Pan Maoming in Gaozhou today. When he entered the mountain, he met a Taoist to play chess. The Taoist priest appreciated his answer and appearance and taught him to give the immortal prescription of Polygonatum sibiricum. He collected herbs and made an alchemy in Dongshan, and then ascended to the West Mountain (Guanshan). Before liberation, there was a stone boat used by him and its Danzao monument in front of Xiantaimiao Temple outside Wenmingmen, Gaozhou City. Today, there is a stone boat with a little moss in the temple, which is a historical witness of the legendary Pan Xian relic (another saying is Mrs. Xian's relic).

Later generations named the mountain where Pan Maoming lived, Pan Xianpo, the place where he made an alchemy, and Maoming, the area around Pan Xianpo, in order to commemorate's historical achievements in exterminating diseases for the people and saving flood residents with stone boats. Legend has it that Feng You, the general of Zhennan, later came to build a city between two mountains, named after Taoist Pan, and built Maoming County in Panzhou. Some historical records record that Maoming County was established in Sui Dynasty. In fact, Maoming County was set up in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was later abandoned, and the southern Liang Dynasty was restored, "because of it in Sui and Tang Dynasties". In the fifth year of Song Kaibao (972), Panzhou was abolished and Maoming was changed to Gaozhou. Maoming County in Ming and Qing Dynasties was still governed by Gaozhou government. During the period of the Republic of China, the abandoned Gaozhou Prefecture and Maoming County were successively supervised by Gaolei appeasement office and governed by the seventh district of Nanlu Administrative Office. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Maoming County was successively under the jurisdiction of Nanlu, Gaolei, Yuexi and Zhanjiang. 2. the history of Maoming

Maoming belonged to Xiang county and Nanhai county in the Qin dynasty. In 2118 (A.D. 598), when the Sui Dynasty opened the emperor, Maoming county was first named after Pan Maoming. In 2118 (A.D. 644), Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty named Nandang prefecture Panzhou after Pan Maoming. China set up a state in the name of a Taoist and a county in the name of a Taoist. Only Pan Maoming is the only one. In the early Tang Dynasty, it belonged to Gaozhou. In the eighth year of Zhenguan (634), it was divided into Panzhou to govern Maoming, and in the twenty-second year (648), it was steep to set Gaozhou to govern Gaoliang and move to govern Liangde. At the beginning of Tianbao (742), it was changed to

Gaozhou was called Gaoliang County, Panzhou was called Nanpan County, and the Five Dynasties belonged to the Southern Han Dynasty. In the fifth year of Song Kaibao (972), Panzhou, a province, entered Gaozhou and still called Gaoliang County, belonging to Guangnan West Road. In the first year of Jingdezhen (1114), the state was abandoned to Douzhou, and it was restored in the third year (1116). In the fifteenth year of Yuan Zhiyuan (1278), Gaozhou Road appeasement department was established. In the 19th year (1282), it was changed to the General Administration Office, which belongs to Huguangxing Zhongshu Province. It is said that Gaozhou Prefecture belongs to Guangdong Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Gaozhou Prefecture in the Qing Dynasty belonged to Guangdong Province, leading to one (Huazhou) county and five (Maoming, Dianbai, Xinyi, Wuchuan and Shicheng). During the period of the Republic of China, the abandoned Gaozhou Prefecture and Maoming County were successively supervised by Gaolei appeasement office and governed by the seventh district of Nanlu Administrative Office.

after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Maoming County was successively under the jurisdiction of Nanlu, Gaolei, Yuexi and Zhanjiang. On May 2, 1958, Maoming Municipal Preparatory Office was established, and it was changed to Maoming Industrial and Mining Area Urban Preparatory Office on May 23 of the same year, and Maoming Industrial and Mining Area City was established on August 26 of the same year. Later, Maoming County Satellite Commune and most of Rocket Commune (now Jintang, Mansion, Xinpo, Gaoshan, Zhensheng, Aotou, Meihua) and other seven towns, Maonan Suburb Economic Development Experimental Zone and Hedong, Hexi and Hongqi were successively incorporated. Xiaoliang (formerly Zhaoliang, Xiaoliang Town) of Rocket Commune was allocated to Dianbai County, Lanshi, Longshou, Gaozhan of Rocket Commune and Nansheng of Chaoying Commune (now part of Nansheng Street in Huazhou City, the same as this natural section) were allocated to Huaxian County. On March 22nd, 1959, the State Council decided to establish Maoming City (county level). After Huazhou and Wuchuan were divided into counties in 1961, Lanshi, Longshou and Gaozhan were allocated to wuchuan city, and Nansheng was allocated to Huazhou County. The rest of Maoming County and Guding, Ma Gui and Shenzhen of Xinyi County are Gaozhou County (Maoming County merged with Xinyi County before being divided into Gaozhou County and Xinyi County).

in 1975, it was upgraded to a prefecture-level city. In 1983, the system of city governing counties was implemented, which governed four counties: Dianbai, Gaozhou, Xinyi and Huazhou. In 1985, Maonan District of Maoming City was established (Maonan, named after being located in the south of the original Maoming County). In 1987, according to the requirements of the masses and the approval of the higher authorities, eight brigades, namely Shange, Shaojiu, Xiachi, Huang Jie, Lucun, Heyi, Jintangling and Fuju, which demarcated the commune, were transferred to Maonan District of Maoming City to form Shange Commune, which is now Shange Town of Maonan District of Maoming City.

On the basis of Nanhai Town, Dianbai County, Maoming Shuidong Economic Development Experimental Zone was formally established with the approval of the provincial people.

in the three years from 1993 to 1995, Gaozhou, Huazhou and Xinyi were successively withdrawn from counties to build cities, and all three cities were county-level cities, which were managed by Maoming City.

in October, 2111, based on the experimental zone of Shuidong Economic Development in Maoming City, five towns, namely Yangjiao, Poxin, Qijing, Shayuan and Xiaoliang, were designated from Dianbai County, together with Nanhai Town, and the State Council approved the establishment of Maogang District. In August, 2112, with the approval of the Provincial Civil Affairs Department, it was agreed that Maogang District would cancel Nanhai Town and set up two sub-district offices, Nanhai and Gaodi.

in 2112, Maoming administered 2 municipal districts and 1 counties, and managed 3 county-level cities, 18 streets and 112 towns.

in 2115, Maoming city administered 2 municipal districts and 1 counties, and managed 3 county-level cities, 21 streets and 87 towns.

In 2114, the State Council approved the adjustment of some administrative divisions of Maoming City, and cancelled the merger of Maogang District and Dianbai County to establish Dianbai District. So far, Maoming has jurisdiction over Maonan and Dianbai, and three county-level cities, namely Gaozhou, Xinyi and Huazhou. 3. How long is the history of Maoming City in Guangdong

The name of Maoming City originated from people's names, from people's names to county names, and from county names to city names.

According to the Records of Gaozhou Prefecture in Wanli of Ming Dynasty, in Yongjia period (317-313) at the end of Western Jin Dynasty, there was a man from Pan Maoming in Gaozhou today. When he entered the mountain, he met a Taoist to play chess. The Taoist priest appreciated his answer and appearance and taught him to give the immortal prescription of Polygonatum sibiricum. He collected herbs and made an alchemy in Dongshan, and then ascended to the West Mountain (Guanshan). Before liberation, there was a stone boat used by him and its Danzao monument in front of the washing ancestral temple outside Wenming Gate in Gaozhou City. Today, there is a stone boat with a little moss in the temple, which is a historical witness of the legendary Pan Xian relic (another saying is Mrs. Xian's relic).

In order to commemorate Pan Maoming's historical achievements in eliminating diseases for the people and saving flood residents with stone boats, later generations named Panshan the mountain where he lived, Panxianpo the place where he made an alchemy, and Maoming the area around Panxianpo. Legend has it that Feng You, the general of Zhennan, later came to build a city between two mountains, named after Taoist Pan, and built Maoming County in Panzhou. Some historical records record that Maoming County was established in Sui Dynasty. In fact, Maoming County was set up in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was later abandoned, and the southern Liang Dynasty was restored, "because of it in Sui and Tang Dynasties". In the fifth year of Song Kaibao (972), Panzhou was abolished and Maoming was changed to Gaozhou. Maoming County in Ming and Qing Dynasties was still governed by Gaozhou government. During the period of the Republic of China, the abandoned Gaozhou Prefecture and Maoming County were successively supervised by Gaolei appeasement office and governed by the seventh district of Nanlu Administrative Office. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Maoming County was successively under the jurisdiction of Nanlu, Gaolei, Yuexi and Zhanjiang.

in 1954, the relevant departments of the central government sent geological survey teams to explore in the southern part of Maoming county and the western part of Dianbai county, and established oil exploration work areas. In 1955, the state approved the exploitation of oil in the southern part of Maoming County. In 1958, the urban preparation office of Maoming industrial and mining area was established, and 418 square kilometers of land in Jintang, Mansion, Meihua, Zhensheng and Aotou areas in the south of Maoming County were set aside, and Maoming City was formally established under the name of "Maoming", and the original Maoming County was renamed Gaozhou County.

when Maoming was first built, it was temporarily called Maoming industrial and mining area because the name of the city was not decided. At that time, some units directly under the Municipal Preparatory Office were called Maoming Industrial and Mining Area Urban Construction Bureau and Maoming Industrial and Mining Area Finance Bureau. What's the name of this city? The provincial party committee wants the municipal preparatory office to submit its opinions and report it. Someone suggested that it be called "Maoming City". "Maoming" is the county name of Maoming County, and I think it is inappropriate to take away the county name. In addition, "Maoming" commemorates the legendary immortal Pan Maoming, which is feudal. It was also suggested that it be called "Gongguan City" and the mansion smelled of manor. Others suggested calling it "Jintang City", but they thought it failed to summarize the characteristics of several mining areas. Finally, some leaders proposed to string the names of Jintang, Yangjiao, Shigu and Shaoshan into a city name, and to take "gold" from Jintang, "sheep" from Yangjiao, and "Yang" from the homonym, which means to create a beautiful city under the golden sun (later there was a road called Jinyang) The Urban Preparation Office of Maoming Industrial and Mining Area stated the reasons for these four cities respectively, and recommended them to the provincial party committee in official documents, which made a decision. Considering that Maoming industrial and mining area is famous in the world, it is easy to cause illusion to use other names. For the sake of consistency, the provincial party committee decided to call it "Maoming City", and changed Maoming County to Gaozhou County, and reported it to the State Council for approval. On August 26th, 1958, Maoming industrial and mining area was officially named Maoming City. 4. history of Zhanjiang and Maoming

Summary of Maoming's history: According to the Ming Wanli Gaozhou Official Records, there was a man from Pan Maoming in Gaozhou today during the Yongjia period (317-313) at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty. When he entered the mountain, he met a Taoist to play chess.

Taoist priest appreciated his answer and appearance, and taught him the immortal prescription of Polygonatum. He collected herbs and made an alchemy in Dongshan, and then ascended to the West Mountain (Guanshan).

Before liberation, there was a stone boat and its Danzao monument in front of Xiantai Temple outside Wenming Gate in Gaozhou City. Today, there is a stone boat with a little moss in the temple, which is a historical witness of the legendary Pan Xian relic (another saying is that it is Mrs. Xian's relic). In order to commemorate Pan Maoming's historical achievements in exterminating diseases for the people and saving flood residents with stone boats, later generations called the mountain where he lived Panshan, the place where he made an alchemy Pan Xianpo and the area around Pan Xianpo Maoming.

It is said that Feng You, the general of Zhennan, later came to the two mountains to build a city, and took the name of Taoist Pan to build Maoming County in Panzhou. Some historical records record that Maoming County was established in Sui Dynasty.

In fact, Maoming County was located in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was later abandoned, and the Southern Liang Dynasty was restored, "because of it in Sui and Tang Dynasties". In the fifth year of Song Kaibao (972), Panzhou was abolished and Maoming was changed to Gaozhou.

Maoming county in Ming and Qing dynasties was still governed by Gaozhou government. During the period of the Republic of China, the abandoned Gaozhou Prefecture and Maoming County were successively supervised by Gaolei appeasement office and governed by the seventh district of Nanlu Administrative Office.
