The name of Shandong city is poetic. My hometown is heping town, Shantou, formerly known as Haopingzhai. Wen Tianxiang led troops to fight against Yuan station troops. Because of the peaceful atmosphere and kind people, it was renamed as heping town. First, the origin of the name
heping town, Heping is located in the middle of Chaoyang District, Shantou City, Guangdong Province. In ancient times, because it was located in the middle and lower reaches of Lianjiang River, it was rich in oysters, so it was called oyster pier, also known as oyster ping. In the second year of Jingyan in the Southern Song Dynasty (AD 1277), Wen Tianxiang led troops to resist Yuan Dynasty and stationed troops in Haoping Village. I feel that the land here is peaceful and the people are kind. Have you ever written a book? In peace? , advocate changing its name to peace. Therefore, later generations abandoned custom and followed elegance, and took peace as the name of the town. Second, the culture of peace
Most people in heping town believe in Mazu and other gods, and they all worship their masters on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. There are no fewer than thirty gods to worship every year. It is precisely because of awe that I believe that there are gods who hold their heads three feet high. So the folk customs here are simple and the people are United. Many young people go out to work and do business. If they meet a fellow villager who speaks Chaoshan dialect, what? Glue yourself? , you can solve many problems. In addition, there are countless delicacies in Shantou, such as smoked duck breast, vermicelli cake, round head of vegetables, shelled peaches and beef balls. Third, the ancestor of Heping Song Dafeng
The ancestor of Heping Song Dafeng was a famous monk in Chaoyang, Guangdong Province at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. He once built a peace bridge comparable to Chaozhou Xiangzi Bridge. According to folklore, he was born in 139 and died in 1127. Originally from Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, he was born in a rich family. He was smart and eager to learn since childhood, and later became a scholar and served as a county magistrate in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province. After several years as an official, he was dissatisfied with the corruption of the political affairs at that time and didn't want to go along with it, so he abandoned his official and fled into an empty door, with a great name. During the Xuanhe period, he traveled from Fujian Youyuan to Haoping, Chaoyang (now Heping), and saw a big river (now Lianjiang) blocking the exchanges between villagers. He traveled for several years and built a stone bridge with a length of more than 3 feet. Later generations built a newspaper hall to worship him and respected him as the founder of Chaoshan charity.
It is suggested that friends who have time can come to our hometown to have a look and enjoy a different culture. Although there are no famous tourist attractions in peace, food and human culture are the reasons why you should visit.
