Brief introduction of houmen town

Xiamen-shenzhen railway, 324 National Highway (Guangshan Highway) and Shenzhen-Shantou Expressway run through the whole territory, which is the only entrance and exit center of Shenzhen-Shantou Expressway passing Haifeng, and is also known as "Golden Gate and Silver Shanwei". Ximen Town has always used the word "Hu". Due to the limitation of computer input method ten years ago, many people typed "Hou". However, at the earliest, it was just an island. In ancient times, due to the change of climate, some tribes in the Central Plains were forced to move southward, and entered eastern Guangdong from the Yellow River basin to thrive. After some fishermen moved to Mangyu Island in the middle of Houmen Port, they cut down the towering trees on the island and divided them into rafters to make boats, which looked like "Ou" boats, so they were called "Ou boats". Because there are two waterways, Baianshan and Xinjingshan, on the left and right sides of the port, there seem to be two portals in the port, from which the reputation of "Oumen" comes. In A.D. 1279, the Song Dynasty was defeated far away, and the people in southern Fujian were unwilling to be persecuted by Yuan soldiers. Song Dimin (Republic of China 19 12- 1949) immigrated to southern Xinjiang and came to Houmen Nanshan in Haifeng. There are villages such as Zhu Wei and Xiantianjing, and a polder named Gu Wei is built on the west side. Marriage with fishermen at sea, unity and friendship, male farming and female weaving, agricultural and fishing prosperity, developed to more than 10 thousand people.

The earth rises and falls, and things change. The original Chishi River flows into Houmen Port through Shapu Center, and then flows into Xiao Mo Port through Nanjunliao. After siltation, a large beach is formed, and residents develop outward. Fu Jia, a businessman from Chaoshan and other places, also set up shop here. They transported seafood, salted fish, salt and agricultural and sideline products from the coast to the mainland, as well as industrial products from Beijing and Tianjin and groceries from Suzhou and Hangzhou. Because the southwest sea here is rich in mackerel, people later renamed "Oumen" as "Pumen".
