Historical materials and folklore about Taiwan Province, Hongkong and Macau are relatively simple, with less than 50 words.

1. The history of Hong Kong can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty. /kloc-The discovery of Li Tomb in 0/955 proves that Hong Kong was inhabited as early as 2000 years ago.

During the Tang Dynasty, many China people lived in Castle Peak (Tuen Mun), which was a prosperous port at that time. There were also troops stationed in the Tang Dynasty to defend the entrance to the Pearl River. Foreign ships must pass through Castle Peak before they can transfer to Guangzhou.

In the Song Dynasty, an official named Deng was sent to Guangdong as an official. After passing through the castle peak, he likes this place very much. Therefore, after his term ended, he and his family settled in Jintian Valley and established a village called "Wei Bei". His descendants later established "Ji Qingwei".

Qing Qing soldiers 1 6 6 2 sent troops to the present New Territories and ordered villagers to braid their hair. During the Qing Dynasty, Hong Kong has always occupied an important position in foreign trade, because Hong Kong and Guangzhou are as close as lips and teeth, and Guangzhou is the only commercial port open to the outside world in the Qing Dynasty.

In the later trade with China, Britain discovered the importance of Hong Kong, and thought that if it could be set aside, it would be of great benefit to expand trade with China and other countries in the Far East. So 1 8 4 1 year, after the Opium War between China and Britain, the defeated Qing government in China was asked to cede Hong Kong.

Before the British occupation of Hong Kong, Hong Kong was basically a desert island. Some fishermen live in Stanley, Datandu and Shipai Bay in the south of the island, and Agongyan and Shuijing Bay in the east. In other places, such as Huangniyong, Dengdizhou and Seven Sisters, there are some small village bays. At that time, there were about 3000 residents on the island.

Macao used to be a small fishing village. Her real name was Haojing or Haojing 'ao, because Bokou at that time could be called "Macau". Macao and its vicinity are rich in oysters (that is, oysters), and the inner wall of oyster shells is as bright as a mirror, so Macao is called oyster mirror (the traditional Chinese character for oysters is "oyster"). Later generations changed the name to a more elegant "Hao Jing". The Brief Introduction to Macao published during the reign of Qing Qianlong said: "Hao Jing's name is written in the history of Ming Dynasty.

East-west five or six miles, north-south half way, north-south two bays, you can park. Or North and South Bay, round as a mirror, called Haojiang. From this name, a series of Macao aliases such as Haojiang, Haijing and Jinghai were derived. Macao's name comes from the goddess of heaven, also known as mother, and is deeply admired by fishermen.

According to legend, a fishing boat was sailing on a clear and windless day when a strong wind and thunderstorm suddenly blew, and the fishermen were at a critical juncture. At this moment, a young girl stood up and ordered the storm to stop. The wind has actually stopped, the sea has returned to calm, and the fishing boat has safely arrived at Haijing Port.

After getting off the boat, the girl walked to Maggie Mountain, and suddenly a halo flashed and the girl turned into a wisp of smoke. Later, people built a temple to worship the mother where she landed.

/kloc-In the middle of the 6th century, when the first Portuguese arrived in Australia, they asked the residents about the local name, but the residents mistakenly thought it meant the temple and answered "Marco". The Portuguese translated "Macao" with its voice, which became the origin of the Portuguese name Macao.

Taiwan Province province is an inseparable part of our great motherland. Taiwan Province Province and Chinese mainland have a long history. In ancient times, Taiwan Province Province and the mainland were originally connected. Later, due to the crustal movement, a part of the connected land sank into the strait, and Taiwan Province Province became an island.

The seabed of the Taiwan Province Strait is like a river valley, with two major water systems, the south and the north, which are formed by the impact and erosion of rivers when they are still on land. The deepest part is only 100 meter, and the depth in most places is only 50 meters.

15000 years ago, the sea level in the East China Sea was about 130 meters lower than it is now, indicating that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait were originally a plate, and Taiwan Province Province, Penghu and other islands were on the continental shelf along the southeast coast of the motherland and connected with Fujian Province.
