And the anecdote behind the village name.

Let's feel the unique cultural connotation and folk customs of Dali village name!

The six sites of Beiqiu in the territory show that there were human activities in Dali more than 5,000 years ago, and gradually formed primitive social settlements! The formation of Dali natural villages mainly concentrated in the Southern Song Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Most surnames moved from Nanxiong Zhuji Lane to the south, took root and developed in this vast land, creating the glory of Dali, an ancient cultural city!

Named after a geographical feature or location.

The geographical and geomorphological features of Dali are: the northwest is a hilly platform, and the southeast is an alluvial plain, with dense sand and crisscross rivers. Villages are formed by the life and production of ancestors, and the village name is a record of their activities, so the naming of Dali village is largely related to the geographical environment.

The first category is named after the topographical features of this area. These village names can often intuitively express the characteristics of the village and arouse people's infinite imagination. For example—

Luocun, Huang Qi: According to legend, there is a big stone like a big snail protruding from the river along the Pearl River, hence the name Luocun, later called Luocun.

● Pingdi Village in Yanbu: In the 13th year of Xichun in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 186), the village was named "Pingdi" because of its flat terrain.

● Yanbuhege Village: It is surrounded by water and isolated from the outside world. Before liberation, it was a part of Shaobian village. Villagers used to process red bricks for firecrackers industry in Shaobian village, so they were once called "red bricks". Because lotus root is widely planted, it is also called "lotus pond". 1927 was called "Haige Village", and the administrative division was officially called "Haige Village" after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Da li Liangqingtang Village: It used to be called Li Qingtang. Later, the village was shaded by green bamboo, with cool air and clear water. Today it was renamed.

Dali Huma Village: It is said that during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1557? 16 19), a salt merchant originally from Panyu, first settled in Lishui Xianggang to avoid debts, then moved here and bought 12 mu of land to operate, so it was once named 12 mu. Later generations climbed the village of Dongqi Mountain and looked at Yayaoshui Village in the west, just like a horse standing in the lake, so it was named again.

The second category is named after the place. Most of these village names have locative words, such as "East", "South", "West" and "North", or use "Up" and "Down" to express the location. For example—

Qidong Village, Huang Qi: It is named after being located in the east of Huang Qi Township.

● Huangqi North Village: The villagers built a gatehouse with bluestone by the river, named "Qingshi Village", which was changed to "North Village" because it was located in the north of Liulian Township.

● Longyong Village in Yanbu: Longyong Village has a history of about 200 years. At first, there was no village name, and some people called it "the nose".

Li Biao Village: Biao Village in Dali was called Longfeng Village and Dong 'anpu Village in the early years. During Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty, villager Tang Sheng was an official in Kyoto. One day, the emperor summoned him. During the conversation, the emperor asked him where he came from and where he lived. Tang Sheng told me: "Longfeng Village in Nanhai, also known as Dong 'an Garden, is a place outside dali town. After listening to this, the emperor said, "The name of this village is very complicated and difficult to remember, so I named you' Da Li Biao'!" Immediately, he wrote the book "Dali Biao Village" and sent officials to the village. From the third-class stone (place name) in the east of the village to the Baihe Bridge (place name) in the west of the village, they are all monuments of Qin Mingli. Since then, Longfeng Village and Dong 'anpu Village have been called Great Li Biao Village.

Da li Baolun Village: According to legend, retired officials of the Ming Dynasty dug the bottom of the pond, which was muddy as blood. People thought it was Long Mai's place, so the village was named "Baolong" and was mistakenly called "Baolun" by others.

● salt step? Longcun:? Dragon Village has been open for nearly 600 years. It is rumored that when the village was opened, someone piled a pile at the head of the village and saw blood flowing out. He thought that a dragon was injured and ran out, so he should call it back quickly. The name of Longcun comes from this. In the memory of later generations, in front of the Guojia Temple (demolished around 1960), there is "Fenyang overflows, columns are connected?" Dragon "couplets.

Named after local products

Dali is rich in real estate, and the ancestors engaged in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery loved this land to survive. Therefore, taking native products as the name of the village is a proud emotional expression from their hearts.

Lizhuang village, da li: Village was opened in Yuan Dynasty. At the beginning of construction, litchi trees were planted everywhere, hence the name.

Dali Nencha Village: In the Yuan Dynasty, the village was built on the mountain and divided into three areas: south, middle and north. The northern area is called the old teahouse. Later, because there was a stream flowing slowly in front of the village, when the tea trees bloomed, the camellias floated all over the water and the fragrance was overflowing. People call this stream Chaxi, and the southern and central areas merge into Chaxi Village. Because of the difference between the old teahouses, Chaxi Village is no longer called Central District and Southern District, but called Chaxi North and Chaxi South. Tea Creek Society was built between the two covenants (destroyed by Japanese artillery fire). At the entrance of the village near the south of Chaxi, there is also a memorial arch (destroyed later) with four strong official characters written on it.

● Yayao Village in Dali: There is a tile kiln on the mountain, which the villagers call "the tile kiln" and the later homonym is "Yayao".

Named after the clan surname

The natural villages in Dali are the settlements of ancestors, and most of the early settlements were families. Therefore, there are many surnames and place names in natural villages, and the naming method of "surnames+generic names" is generally adopted. In general names, words such as "village", "cave", "house" and "pit" are often used, while some villagers adopt the naming method of "surname+geographical features+general names".

For example, Shaobian Village, Guanbian Village, Yanbian Village, Huangbian Village, Surrounding Village, Zhongbian Village, Xiebian Village, Leibian Village, Tanbian Village and Panxie Village. This is why Da Li has so many "boundaries"!

The Tiecun Village in Zhongbian Community is a famous red "revolutionary fortress", and its name fits the spiritual temperament of many heroic martyrs in the village.

Named after expressing good wishes

People in China like to ask for a good name. In ancient times, they paid attention to feng shui. The naming of natural villages often has the characteristics of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, which embodies the ardent expectations of the ancestors of Dali for an ideal life and their good wishes for the prosperity of their families.

● Dali Fengchi Village: The village was opened during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It is said that this place is the habitat of Phoenix, which is an auspicious thing, so it is named after this village.

There may not be a history of ups and downs or interesting legends behind these village names, but they all represent the inheritance of our ancestors' will, the manifestation of a cultural bloodline and the simplest side of Dali's local cultural genes!
