1. About the cultural and historical background of Maoming City

According to historical records, Maoming belonged to Xiang County and Nanhai County during the Qin Dynasty, and Maoming County was established during the Sui Dynasty. Maoming City was established in 1959, and the city-governed county system was implemented in 1983. It currently governs Maonan District, Maogang District and Dianbai County, and administers Gaozhou City, Huazhou City and Xinyi City.

In Maoming, during the late Neolithic period 4,500 years ago, indigenous peoples were thriving. During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, they were first called the Baiyue people. The land of Maoming has gone through thousands of years of wind and rain erosion, leaving behind many scenic spots and historic sites. Gaozhou's Xian Tai Temple, Guan Shan Temple, Bao Guang Pagoda, Changpo Old City, Xinyi's Zhenlong Ancient Academy Group, Huazhou's Confucius Temple, Dianbai's Bell and Drum Tower, Xian Tai's hometown, Maonan's dinosaur egg fossils and other cultural landscapes Fascinating and rich in cultural heritage. Maoming has produced many celebrities in history, such as Mrs. Xian, who was called "the first female hero in China" by Premier Zhou, Gao Lishi, an important official in the Tang Dynasty, and Chen Jian, a famous Lingnan talent, are all natives of Gaozhou. Today, most of the monuments have been developed into tourist attractions for tourists to visit.

The name of Maoming city originated from the name of a person, from the name of the person to the name of the county, and from the name of the county to the name of the city.

According to the Records of Gaozhou Prefecture written by Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, during the Yongjia period (307-313), there was a man named Pan Maoming in what is now Gaozhou. He went into the mountains and met Taoist priests playing chess. The Taoist priest admired his answers and appearance, and taught him the elixir for Huang Jing to make him immortal. He collected medicine and made elixirs in Dongshan, and then ascended to the West Mountain (Guanshan). Before liberation, there were still stone boats used by other people and the ruins of Danzao in front of the Xian Tai Temple outside the Wenming Gate of Gaozhou City. Today, there is still a broken stone boat with a little moss growing in the temple as a relic of the legendary Pan Xian. Historical testimony (it is also said to be a relic of Mrs. Xian).

In order to commemorate Pan Mao’s historical achievements in eradicating diseases and harming the people and using stone boats to rescue flood-stricken residents, later generations named the mountain where he lived Panshan. The place where the alchemy was made was called Panxianpo, and the area near Panxianpo was called Maoming. Legend has it that Feng You, the general of Zhennan, later came to build a city between the two mountains. He took the name of Taoist Pan and built Maoming County in Panzhou. Some historical records record that Maoming County was established in the Sui Dynasty. In fact, Maoming County was already established in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but was later abolished, and Liang County was restored in the Southern Dynasty, and "the Sui and Tang Dynasties followed it". In the fifth year of Kaibao's reign in the Song Dynasty (972), Panzhou was abolished and became Gaozhou, and Maoming was changed to Gaozhou. Maoming County in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was still governed by Gaozhou Prefecture. During the Republic of China, Gaozhou Prefecture was abolished, and Maoming County was successively under the supervision of the Gaolei Appeasement Office and the Seventh District of the South Road Administrative Office. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Maoming County came under the jurisdiction of Nanlu, Gaolei, Yuexi, and Zhanjiang prefectures (administrative districts). 2. History of Maoming

During the Qin Dynasty, Maoming City belonged to Xiang County and Nanhai County. In the 18th year of the founding of the Sui Dynasty (AD 598), Maoming County was first named after Pan Maoming, and in the 18th year of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty (AD 644) Year), Nandangzhou was named Panzhou after Pan Maoming. China establishes states based on the surnames of Taoist priests and counties based on their names. Pan Mao is the only one named. In the early Tang Dynasty, it belonged to Gaozhou. In the eighth year of Zhenguan (634), Panzhou was established to govern Maoming. In the 22nd year (648), Gaozhou was established and Gaoliang was moved to Liangde. It was changed in Tianbaochu (742)

Gaozhou was called Gaoliang County, Panzhou was called Nanpan County, and it belonged to the Southern Han Dynasty in the Five Dynasties. In the fifth year of Kaibao's reign in the Song Dynasty (972), Panzhou entered Gaozhou and was still called Gaoliang County, belonging to Guangnan West Road. In the first year of Jingde (1004), the state was abolished and belonged to Douzhou, and it was restored in the third year (1006). In the fifteenth year of Yuan Dynasty (1278), the Gaozhou Road Appeasement Department was established. In the 19th year (1282), the General Administration Office was changed to the Huguangxing Zhongshu Province. In the Ming Dynasty, Gaozhou Prefecture belonged to the Chief Envoy of Guangdong. Therefore, Gaozhou Prefecture in the Qing Dynasty belonged to Guangdong Province, with one prefecture (Huazhou) and five counties (Maoming, Dianbai, Xinyi, Wuchuan, and Shicheng). During the Republic of China, Gaozhou Prefecture was abolished, and Maoming County was successively under the supervision of the Gaolei Appeasement Office and the Seventh District of the South Road Administrative Office.

On March 22, 1959, the State Council decided to establish Maoming City (county level). After Huazhou and Wuchuan were divided into counties in 1961, Lanshi, Longshou, Gaozhan, etc. were assigned to Wuchuan County, and Nansheng was assigned to Huazhou County. The remaining areas that were originally part of Maoming County and Guding, Magui, and Shenzhen of the original Xinyi County were formed into Gaozhou County (Maoming County was first merged with Xinyi County, and then divided into Gaozhou County and Xinyi County).

In 1975, it was upgraded to a prefecture-level city. In 1983, a city-governed county system was implemented, with jurisdiction over four counties: Dianbai, Gaozhou, Xinyi and Huazhou. In 1985, Maonan District of Maoming City (Maonan, so named because it is located in the south of the original Maoming County) was established.

In the three years from 1993 to 1995, Gaozhou, Huazhou and Xinyi counties were successively removed from counties and established as cities. The three cities were all county-level cities and were managed by Maoming City.

In January 2001, based on the Shuidong Economic Development Experimental Zone of Maoming City, five towns including Yangjiao, Poxin, Qijing, Shayuan and Xiaoliang together with Nanhai Town were delimited from Dianbai County. The State Council approved the establishment of Maogang District.

At this point, Maoming City governs Maonan and Dianbai districts, and oversees three county-level cities: Gaozhou, Xinyi, and Huazhou. 3. How much history does Maoming City in Guangdong have?

The name of Maoming city originated from the name of a person, from the name of the person to the name of the county, and from the name of the county to the name of the city.

According to the Records of Gaozhou Prefecture written by Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, during the Yongjia period (307-313), there was a man named Pan Maoming in what is now Gaozhou.

Today, there is still a broken stone boat with a little moss growing in the temple as a relic of the legendary Pan Xian. Historical testimony (it is also said to be a relic of Mrs. Xian).

In order to commemorate Pan Mao’s historical achievements in eradicating diseases and harming the people and rescuing flood-stricken residents with stone boats, later generations named the mountain where he lived Panshan, and the place where he made alchemy was called Panxianpo. The nearby area is called Maoming. Legend has it that Feng You, the general of Zhennan, later came to build a city between the two mountains. He took the name of Taoist Pan and built Maoming County in Panzhou. Some historical records record that Maoming County was established in the Sui Dynasty. In fact, Maoming County was already established in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but was later abolished, and Liang County was restored in the Southern Dynasty, and "the Sui and Tang Dynasties followed it". In the fifth year of Kaibao's reign in the Song Dynasty (972), Panzhou was abolished and became Gaozhou, and Maoming was changed to Gaozhou. Maoming County in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was still governed by Gaozhou Prefecture. During the Republic of China, Gaozhou Prefecture was abolished, and Maoming County was successively under the supervision of the Gaolei Appeasement Office and the Seventh District of the South Road Administrative Office. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Maoming County came under the jurisdiction of Nanlu, Gaolei, Yuexi, and Zhanjiang prefectures (administrative districts).

Starting in 1954, relevant central departments sent geological survey teams to conduct exploration in southern Maoming County and western Dianbai County, and established oil exploration areas.

Others suggested calling it "Jintang City", but felt that it failed to summarize the characteristics of several mining areas. Finally, some leaders proposed stringing together the names of Jintang, Yangjiao, Shigu, and Low Mountain mining areas into a city name, taking "jin" from "Jintang" and "sheep" from "Yangjiao", with the same pronunciation. Taking "Yang", it was called "Jinyang City", which means to create a beautiful city under the golden sun (later there was a road called Jinyang Avenue, and some shops were called Jinyang Stores, the reason came from here) . The City Planning Office of Maoming Industrial and Mining Zone stated the reasons for each of the four city names and recommended them to the Provincial Party Committee in official documents, and the Provincial Party Committee made the decision. The Provincial Party Committee considered that the Maoming Industrial and Mining Area was well-known around the world, and changing it to another name would easily cause misunderstandings. For the sake of continuity, it decided to call it "Maoming City" and change Maoming County to Gaozhou County. It was submitted to the State Council for approval, 1958 On August 26, 2016, the Maoming Industrial and Mining Area was officially named Maoming City.
