3. History and culture:
? Myth 1: Hong Kong’s name is related to spices. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Hong Kong was administratively subordinate to Dongguan, Guangdong. Since the Ming Dynasty, a small harbor in the south of Hong Kong Island has been a distribution port for the transshipment of spices from southern Guangdong. It became famous for its transshipment of spices produced in Dongguan, Guangdong, and was called "Hong Kong". It is said that the spices transshipped in Hong Kong at that time were of high quality and were called "Hainan treasures". Many local people in Hong Kong also grew spices as a profession. Together with the spices grown in Hong Kong, Hong Kong became famous and gradually became recognized far and near. Soon this spice was listed as a tribute to the emperor, and created a prosperous incense making and shipping industry at that time. But later, the villagers refused to plant it, and the cultivation and transshipment of spices gradually disappeared, but the name Hong Kong remained.
Argument 2: Hong Kong is a natural harbor, with sweet and delicious streams nearby. Sailors traveling on the sea often come here to get water for drinking. Over time, the sweet-smelling streams became famous, and this small creek became famous. The creek was also called "Hong Kong", and the small bay formed by the alluvial flow of the Xiang River into the sea began to be called "Hong Kong". A group of British people landed on Hong Kong Island from this harbor, so they named the entire island after the word "Hong Kong". To this day, "Hong Kong" is still another name for Hong Kong.
