Hello!
To answer the characteristics of Maoming, of course, let’s first introduce the origin of the name Maoming:
The origin of the city name "Maoming"
The name of Maoming City originated from the name of a person. To the county name, from the county name to the city name.
According to the Records of Gaozhou Prefecture written by Wanli of the Ming Dynasty: At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, during the Yongjia period (307-313), there was a man named Pan Maoming in what is now Gaozhou. He went into the mountains and met Taoist priests playing chess. The Taoist priest admired his answers and appearance, and taught him the elixir for Huang Jing to make him immortal. He collected medicine and made elixirs in Dongshan, and then ascended to the West Mountain (Guanshan). Before liberation, there were still stone boats used by other people and the ruins of Danzao in front of the Xi Tai Temple outside the Wenming Gate of Gaozhou City. Today, there is still a broken stone boat with a little moss growing in the temple as a relic of the legendary Pan Xian. Historical testimony (it is also said to be a relic of Mrs. Xian).
In order to commemorate Pan Mao’s historical achievements in eradicating diseases and using stone boats to rescue flood-stricken residents, later generations named the mountain where he lived Panshan, and the place where he made alchemy was called Panxianpo. The nearby area is called Maoming. It is said that Feng You, the general of Zhennan, later came to build a city between the two mountains. He took the name of Taoist Pan and built Maoming County in Panzhou. Some historical records record that Maoming County was established in the Sui Dynasty. In fact, Maoming County was already established in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was later abolished and restored by Liang County in the Southern Dynasty, which was "followed by the Sui and Tang Dynasties." In the fifth year of Kaibao's reign in the Song Dynasty (972), Panzhou was abolished and became Gaozhou, and Maoming was changed to Gaozhou. Maoming County in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was still governed by Gaozhou Prefecture. During the Republic of China, Gaozhou Prefecture was abolished, and Maoming County was successively under the supervision of the Gaolei Appeasement Office and the Seventh District of the South Road Administrative Office. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Maoming County came under the jurisdiction of Nanlu, Gaolei, Yuexi, and Zhanjiang prefectures (administrative districts).
Beginning in 1954, relevant central departments sent geological survey teams to conduct exploration in the southern part of Maoming County and the western part of Dianbai County, and established an exploration oil industry area. In 1955, the state approved oil exploration in the southern area of ??Maoming County. In 1958, the Maoming Industrial and Mining Zone City Preparation Office was established, and a total of 418 square kilometers of land in Jintang, Gongguan, Binghua, Zhensheng, Aotou and other areas in the southern part of Maoming County were designated, officially named "Maoming". Maoming City was established and the original Maoming County was renamed Gaozhou County.
When Maoming City was first established, it was temporarily called Maoming Industrial and Mining Area because the name of the city had not yet been decided. At that time, some units directly under the Municipal Preparatory and Construction Office were established, such as the Urban Construction Bureau of Maoming Industrial and Mining District, the Finance Bureau of Maoming Industrial and Mining District, etc. What is the name of this city? The Provincial Party Committee asked the Municipal Preparatory Office to submit an opinion and report it. Some people suggested that it be called "Maoming City". "Maoming" is the name of Maoming County. I felt it was inappropriate to take away the name of the county. In addition, "Maoming" commemorates the legendary immortal Pan Maoming, which has a feudal flavor. Someone else suggested calling it "Gongguan City" and the Gongguan has the smell of a manor. Others suggested calling it "Jintang City", but felt that it failed to summarize the characteristics of several mining areas. Finally, some leaders proposed stringing together the names of Jintang, Yangjiao, Shigu, and Low Mountain mining areas into a city name, taking "jin" from "Jintang" and "sheep" from "Yangjiao", with the same pronunciation. Taking "Yang", it was called "Jinyang City", which means to create a beautiful city under the golden sun (later there was a road called Jinyang Avenue, and some shops were called Jinyang Stores, the reason came from here) . The City Planning Office of Maoming Industrial and Mining Zone stated the reasons for each of the four city names and recommended them to the Provincial Party Committee in official documents, and the Provincial Party Committee made the decision. The Provincial Party Committee considered that the Maoming Industrial and Mining Area was well-known around the world, and using another name would easily cause misunderstandings. For the sake of continuity, it was decided to call it "Maoming City" and change Maoming County to Gaozhou County. It was submitted to the State Council for approval, 1958 On August 26, 2011, the Maoming Industrial and Mining Zone was officially named Maoming City.

Tell me about the most distinctive---- Maoming men are 31 years old:
In the life of Maoming people, the three "1"s related to age must be celebrated: 1 year old (grabbing the week ceremony), 31 years old (sharing misfortunes and gathering blessings) (Dan), 71 (a birthday with good fortune and longevity), among which the method of 31 is the most special and exquisite.
Only married men and women can do it at the age of 31, commonly known as "doing the burden". The person who makes the burden must be the mother-in-law. Generally, three days before the birthday, the uncle is asked to "deliver the burden" (if there are no biological brothers, the male of the same or younger generation in the maternal lineage is used). The number of burdens must be three, one for jiandui, which means gold. The house is full of silver. One line is dotted with red and sweet, which means the sweetness of the couple's life. There is also a load to place rice, sugar, and a pair of wine pots (the two wine pots are tied with red thread and tied in a concentric knot, and most people now simplify it to a slip knot). Because the wine pot is shaped like a male, it means that the family will be full of descendants. Two pairs of trousers are pressed on top (a packet should be placed in each trouser pocket, one on the left and one on the right, which means that the left and right sides are strong), which symbolizes a prosperous life. At the other end, there is a chicken cage covered with red paper, and a pair of capons are placed in it. A cut of pork is pressed on the top of the cage (it must have bones, meat, and skin), and two fish are pressed on the surface of the meat (the fish must be wrapped in red paper). and tied with red rope), these are commonly known as the "three animals" and are used for worship.
After taking over the load, the son-in-law and his family packed the fried dumplings and candies and distributed them door-to-door. The more the better, it was called "Bangyunbangshu". On the second day of my 31st birthday, I have to "take responsibility".
There must be lettuce (strong and smooth), garlic (uncountable money), fat cake (prosperity), and brown sugar (life is comfortable and happy). There should be two packets on each load, commonly known as "pressure load". I would like to express my gratitude to my mother-in-law and her family and wish them good luck, good health and long life.

The following is a talk about Maoming’s special delicacies:

Gaozhou Tzu Baozhi
Gaozhou Tzu Baozhen is also known as "Auntie Baozhen" or "Ye Baozhen". As for what many articles say about "Uncle Bao Cake", it is simply nonsense. Because they don't know the word "籺", they call food like "籺" "cake", so there are messy names such as "Uncle Bao Gao" or "Potato Flour Bao Gao". I typed this name based on the common name of the people and its origin. "籺" is a unique food in western Guangdong. For example, "Zhen" during Chinese New Year and festivals is this "籺", pronounced "at".
Preparation method: Stir boiled water and sweet potato flour (the same as making longevity peach rice) and knead into a powder base, then make rice balls similar in shape to those of ancient times, and then put them into autoclaved Cook in a pot (a device specially used to steam potato dumplings). Zhen stuffing usually contains pork pellets and peanuts, and dried shrimps can also be added. When eating, put the hot rice in a bowl and add the pre-cooked pork bone soup (according to your preference, you can add some vinegar to make vinegar soup, and some people also add chili sauce) to eat together. The sweet potato starch has a unique crispy and smooth taste, and when soaked in hot soup, it feels rich but not greasy in the mouth, which is very tempting. There are several fixed stalls for potato dumplings, as well as mobile stalls selling them along the street. There is a famous potato bun stall that was even featured on Southern TV’s City Special Search program and has become a famous snack in Gaozhou.
I have introduced so much for the time being. No credit but hard work, it’s so tiring! Have mercy!
