There is a beautiful story about the nickname of Guangzhou. It is said that during the Zhou Dynasty, Guangzhou suffered from successive famines and the people were in dire straits.
One day, five colorful auspicious clouds floated over the South China Sea, with five immortals riding on fairy goats holding five-colored rice ears in their mouths.
The immortal gave ears of rice to the people and blessed the place to never have a famine.
After the immortal left, the five immortal sheep stayed behind because they were attached to the human world, and blessed the local area with good weather.
In order to thank the five immortals, the people built a "Five Immortals Temple" at the place where they stayed. There are statues of the Five Immortals in the temple, accompanied by stone statues of the Five Rams.

[War Story] The Anti-British Struggle in Sanyuanli occurred when: 1841 Year: Qing Dynasty Location: Sanyuanli, Guangzhou Direct cause: 1 British troops opened the coffin and tore the bones (after the armistice, some British troops marched into Shuangshan Temple in the north of the city,
There are some coffins stored in the temple. The British army did not know the customs, so they opened the coffins to see the corpse out of curiosity. Later, the villagers misunderstood that they were digging graves.) 2 The British army looted property. 3 The British army raped and molested women (recorded by names: Villagers
Wei Shaoguang's wife Li Xi) Event introduction: During the Opium War, the people of Guangzhou spontaneously launched an armed struggle against the British.
On May 25, 1841 (the fifth day of April in the 21st year of Daoguang's reign), the British army captured the forts in the north of Guangzhou and set up their headquarters at Yongkang Terrace, the highest terrain.
Yongkang Terrace, whose native name is Sifang Terrace, is only one mile away from the city. Cannons can directly bombard the city.
The Qing commander-in-chief Yi Shan and others sued for peace, and signed the "Guangzhou Peace Treaty" with the British on May 27, in exchange for paying the British army's city redemption fee and the withdrawal of troops from other provinces from Guangzhou, in exchange for the British army returning the forts and withdrawing from Humen.
But before the ink on the peace treaty was dry, the British troops continued to harass Sanyuanli in the northwest suburbs and villages such as Nicheng, Xicun, and Xiaogang, looting, burning, killing, and raping women.
The broad masses of the people were filled with indignation, and groups in various places organized mass training in an attempt to resist.
On the 29th, the villagers of Sanyuanli repelled a small group of invading British troops. The people of Sanyuanli expected that the British troops would retaliate, so they gathered at the Sanyuan Ancient Temple and agreed to use the "three-star flag" in the temple as the command flag to command the battle.
, after the meeting, they separately contacted the people in nearby 103 Township and prepared to fight with them.
The next day, more than a hundred village regiments from Nanhai and Panyu, armed with spears and plows, gathered to besiege Yongkang Terrace.
After a stalemate for nearly half a day, the British commander Wo Wugu (also translated as "Guo Fu") personally led his troops to attack.
The regiment trains, fights and retreats, luring the enemy to the hilly area of ??Niulan Gang.
Heavy rain came and the British muskets were unable to fire due to moisture (the Indian mercenaries were equipped with relatively backward tunnel-fired guns by the British, which could not be used when they were exposed to rain). The regiment training people fought back in the rain, dividing and surrounding the British army.
, fighting fiercely.
During the pursuit, a company (60 men) of the 37th British Regiment was stopped by the rebels in a rice field. Thirty or forty Indian mercenaries were killed and injured with swords.
The British army sent two companies of sailors with "detonator guns" (not afraid of rain) to come for reinforcements.
