[History]

Hong Kong’s history can be traced back to the Neolithic Age five thousand years ago. Qin Shihuang unified China and established three counties: Nanhai, Guilin, and Xiangjun, and Hong Kong's Jiangnan County and Panyu County. From then on, Hong Kong will be placed under the jurisdiction of the central government. Get off at Nanhan Port in Boluo County. In the sixth year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 331), Hong Kong was based on Bao'an County, Dongguan County. The Sui Dynasty was based in Nanle County, Bao'an County, Guangzhou Municipal Government. In the second year of Zhide in the Tang Dynasty (AD 757), Bao'an County was changed to Dongguan County, and Dongguan and Hong Kong were still connected to the county. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the huge population of Hong Kong and the Mainland crossed the border, which promoted the great development of Hong Kong's economy and culture. In the first year of Wanli of Ming Dynasty (1573), Xin'an County, Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is an excellent deep-water port and has always been regarded as one of the three natural harbors in the world. The British were early to consider Victoria Harbor as one of the potential harbors in East Asia. Do not hesitate to come from the Qing Dynasty during the Opium War. The government launched the history of Hong Kong as a British colony in order to develop their hands here to win the Far East maritime trade business. From 1842 to June 30, 1997, Hong Kong was a British colony. On July 1, 1997, Hong Kong returned to China.

The three parts of Hong Kong (Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories) come from unequal treaties in three different periods. After the First Opium War in 1840, Britain forced the Qing government to sign the "Treaty of Nanjing" in 1842 and cede Hong Kong Island. In 1856, the British and French forces launched the Second Opium War, forcing the Qing government to sign the "Treaty of Beijing" and cede the Kowloon Peninsula, which is now the area south of Boundary Street in 1860. During the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the British forced the Qing government to sign the "Special Treaty to Expand the Boundary Site of Hong Kong" in 1898 to forcibly lease the New Territories for a period of 1899 years ending on June 30, 1997. By leasing the New Territories, Hong Kong's area expanded tenfold.

[Source] There are two widely circulated theories about the origin of the name in Hong Kong.

Say: Hong Kong’s name and spice. Under the administration of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Hong Kong was located in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province. From the late Ming Dynasty, Xiao Nanguo's seaport and island were transferred to Hong Kong to distribute spices in Guangdong. Because of Dongguan's transshipment capabilities, Guangdong's famous spices were called "Hong Kong". Some people say that when the spices transshipped are of high quality and are called "Rare in Hainan," Hong Kong people also make many local species of spices as industry, and along with the spices grown in Hong Kong, they gain fame and fortune. Soon this spice was listed as a tribute to the emperor, and then an incense boom was created and incense was shipped. Later, the cultivation and transportation of spices gradually declined, but Hong Kong has retained the name.

Argument 2: Hong Kong is a natural harbor, close to the sweet and delicious seafood. Sailors often come here to drink water. As time goes by, the sweetness cannot bear the name, and the stream will be called " Light", and the alluvial light moved into the sea into a small port, which began to be called "Hong Kong". When it was landed on the shore of the harbor there were some Hong Kong islands, so they would name the whole island after "Hong Kong". To this day, "Hong Kong" Hong Kong is still another name.

Although there are different opinions, it is generally certain that the name first appeared in Hong Kong in the Ming Dynasty, referring to the time when the port of a small village in Hong Kong was originally a small island and later expanded to the entire The name of the island (Hong Kong Island) finally came to be before the early 19th century, when it became the collective name for the entire area occupied by British colonists.
