Past life of Bagualing (1)

Shenzhen He Liang

Maybe you've heard of or even been to Bagualing, maybe you just touched Bagualing on a small map or even just touched Bagualing. .......

Anyway, Bagualing is a magical place!

The magic of Bagualing lies not in its wonderful name, nor in its mysterious terrain, but in the fact that it created a "one-night legend" of the high-speed development industrial zone in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone in the 1980s, and more importantly, it has become the "first love" and "urban worry" of thousands of Shenzhen people.

First, the past "gossip" in Bagualing.

At the foot of Bijia Mountain in the southeast of Shenzhen, there is a treasure trove of geomantic omen. It had to lie comfortably between Yuanling and Nigang, silently witnessing the changes of the ultra-stable social structure and the changes of the jurisdiction changed by dynasties for thousands of years, and silently feeling the villagers' impermanence to it because of the changes of the times. ........

However, 40 years ago in the spring, a magnificent tide suddenly came here, making it famous overseas overnight, and making the arrogant Bijiashan and Yin Hushan hold their heads high. ......

It's Bagualing!

The name Bagualing is not as mysterious as folklore, nor as exaggerated as some inexperienced network writers, because Shenzhen announced the name of the subway station and became famous overnight.

In fact, as early as the early 1980 s, the name of Bagualing had become popular overnight, enjoying a good reputation at home and abroad. Regarding the past life of Bagualing, I subjectively divided the lower limit time of its past life into1August 26th, 980, when Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was formally established, which means this time is also the upper limit time of Bagualing's present life.

Bagualing at this time coincides with the formal establishment of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and the opening of China. Shenzhen Special Economic Zone actively promotes reform and opening-up, and the development of Bagua Ridge is officially listed on the agenda of Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. Among them, an important landmark time node is that the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government issued a document on February 1982 to establish "Shenzhen Industrial Development Service Company" (hereinafter referred to as "Industrial Company") and "Shenzhen Bagualing Industrial Zone Infrastructure Engineering Headquarters". This is also the main basis for me to divide Bagualing into "past lives". Starting from this time node, the lower limit node of Bagualing's previous life is also the upper limit of Bagualing's present life.

There are different opinions about the origin of the names before Bagualing. However, according to the limited data records, the appellation of Bagualing is relatively consistent.

Someone said mysteriously that Bagua Mountain was named after a place called Paibang Mountain. Some people say that Bagualing is named after the shape of Baguatu. Some people say with malicious intent that the past life of Bagualing has no name at all, but a group of nameless hills, hills, gullies or barren slopes under Bijia Mountain. Some people even say that Bagualing is actually an unclaimed wasteland grave. However, it has indeed been confirmed that in the Bagualing before the development, some "jars" of Hakka ancestors were placed on some hills, which seems to have little to do with any "card list". (Note: Golden urn: There is a custom among Hakkas, that is, "eviscerating bones" for a second burial. After the death of Hakka relatives, the coffin was buried underground first. After three or five years, the corpse rotted into bones, opened it and put it in the jar, which was honored as the "golden jar". This kind of funeral is related to Hakka immigrant culture, because the remains of ancestors living in other places always have to go back to their hometown for burial. )

In fact, a nameless place is somewhat similar to a person's tragic fate. Some hillsides, even for millions of years, can only be an unknown existence. It's not its fault that it doesn't have a nice name. It didn't become a famous mountain because scholars such as Xu Xiake, Li Bai and Su Dongpo didn't pass there, so it didn't have a chance to be famous, or nature or human beings didn't give it a chance.

Compared with the majestic Bijia Mountain in the north of Bagua Mountain, it overlooks the mountains and rivers near Bagua Mountain and even Shenzhen Bay, and is known as the "famous mountain" in Shenzhen, which is also recorded in history books. As a barren hill, Bagua Mountain has not been endowed with a vigorous body by nature, and in the long history of the ultra-stable development of human society, it is even more impossible for anyone to take into account the existence of this mountain! Although this is a very common thing, when I heard in the interview that many old people in Nigang couldn't remember the appearance of Bagua Ridge 40 years ago, I still had a sad feeling.

In fact, not to mention the barren hills, isn't the fate of mankind the same? ! Thinking of this, I suddenly feel that Bagualing is still lucky. I think Bagualing was somewhat satisfied in his last life. Bagualing, although there is no spring in the mountains, still has a name with a little cultural flavor! Which ancestor should we thank for giving it such a wonderful name reminiscent of Taoist culture in China, isn't it? !

In order to explore the past life of Bagualing, I visited the old people in Yuanling and Nigang and many pioneers and engineers who developed Bagualing in the early days.

According to an old man in Nigang village who did not want to be named, his impression of Bagualing in his last life was that even if he was "worshipping his ancestors on holidays", it meant that even if his old friend was buried, Bagualing was not a land of geomantic omen. The old man said that the Bagua Ridge in the 1950s and 1960s was actually a barren slope, with bushes and few wild trees. There are several grass ponds and gullies, small hills and hills, with potholes and few people. In my impression, there is a natural grass pond and a small ditch that seems to flow forever in the east, and I don't know where the sewage in the ditch comes from ... Some people still talk about the location of Bagua Mountain from the perspective of its topography, which seems to make some sense. Judging from the aerial photos of Bagualing, the Bagualing image does have an orientation model of Bagualing.

In the interview, Mr. Shi Guangyao, the manager of jing xing Culture Media (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., told me a story about his personal experience in Bagualing. It was 16 years ago. He just went to work in a cultural company in Bagualing. He is completely unfamiliar with the terrain and streets of Bagualing. One night, after working overtime, he and a colleague went to Bagualing to find food. So, the two men walked along the outer street of Bagualing, chatting. Finally, they unconsciously walked back to their company downstairs. He was surprised and puzzled. He can't find food. How did he get back to his original place? He thought, isn't this just like the earth and navigation? Is Bagualing a circular or elliptical terrain? ......

According to some historical data analysis, Bagua Ridge is mainly small hills and hills, many of which are bare, unlike the present mountains, which are all Woods. The terrain of Bagualing seems a little gossip. I interviewed nearly 100 people, although I also mentioned whether Bagualing is related to Taoism or the Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes. But haven't you heard of the mysterious legend of gossip? I have never heard a complete story about Bagua Ridge, such as Bagua Map, Digital Gua or innate gossip and the gossip the day after tomorrow.

An old lady in a community at the foot of Silver Lake recalled that she couldn't remember when it started in the 1960s and 1970s. In an open space southeast of Bagualing, PLA troops are stationed. That year, the People's Liberation Army set up crude barracks and planted trees in succession. Since then, Bagualing has had a little vitality, and gradually it seems that people began to play on the hillside of Bagualing, catching small fish and picking wild fruits. At that time, the PLA was the cutest person, and people worshipped the PLA very much. The military-civilian relationship is as deep as fish and water, with close contacts and harmonious relations. Since then, Bagualing has gradually changed from superstition and fear to belief and awe in their minds. I asked her curiously: Do you hear loud bugles every morning? Does the bugle often become your expectation during your work? She pondered, then shook her head: I don't remember whether there are these. .......

During the visit, an old man recalled that he couldn't remember when people were herding flocks of cattle and sheep on the hillside northwest of Bagualing. Later, he learned that a foreign trade organization used that hillside as a turnover base for cattle and sheep exports. It is said that the main task is to support and meet the daily meat supply of Hong Kong and Macao compatriots. These cattle and sheep are exported to Hong Kong in batches according to the plan. Before being shipped to Hong Kong, they should be herded and raised in Bagualing, a transit base, waiting to be transported in batches. In my later interview, I further confirmed the specific location of the foreign trade cattle and sheep turnover base, which is in the hinterland of the western part of Bagualing, almost near the western part of Bagualing and south of Nigang Pedestrian Bridge. As for the specific location, no confirmation has been found yet.

In fact, the relationship between Bagualing and Nigang Village is closer. Many old people recall that the Bagua Ridge in history belongs to Nigang Village more often. Of course, the historical attribution of the administrative divisions of Bagua Mountain will be constantly adjusted and changed with the changes of the times and administrative divisions. Bagua Mountain is destined to be divided and combined between Yuanling and Nigang, which is closely related and closely related.

In any case, the past life of Bagualing seems ugly and unknown. However, we should not underestimate that this once pitted tiny place is a prime location and back garden that has not been reclaimed by administrative divisions in the past.

Although Bagualing has been lying silently at the foot of Bijia Mountain for thousands of years, can you say that this silent waiting and existence is not a kind of power savings? Can you say that this is not a good wait? In today's administrative map of Shenzhen, Bagualing is not the map of Nigang Village in Luohu District, but under the jurisdiction of Yuanling Sub-district Office in Futian District.

For thousands of years, it has been backed by Yinda Lake in Nigang, Luohu, waiting day and night in the arms of Nigang Village and Yuanling Village, waiting silently! It is this once-in-a-thousand-year blessed land! Finally, I waited for such an epoch-making gorgeous turn today. .......
