Pengcheng Pengcheng, why is Shenzhen also called Pengcheng? It originated from the city of Dapeng!
Where is the city of Dapeng? What's the origin? Entering Dapeng Peninsula, let us find this beautiful answer.
Dapeng City is located in Pengcheng Community, Dapeng Street, Dapeng Peninsula. It is actually an ancient city, and its full name is "Dapeng Guards the City of Thousand Households". The history of this ancient city dates back to the early Ming Dynasty more than 600 years ago. At that time, Japanese pirates were in danger. In order to prevent Japanese pirates, the imperial court established the "Qianhusuo" here and built Dapengsuo City.
It is an important military location and has a history of more than 600 years, so there are many relics of famous generals who loved and protected the country. The most prominent among the famous generals is the Lai family, which produced five generals in three generations. Among them, General Lai Enjue is the most important general in the city of Dapeng. Nowadays, the ancient city still retains Lai Enjue’s Zhenwei generals, with houses, halls, There are many plaques, carved beams and painted columns in the rooms, wells, corridors, courtyards, etc. In addition, the remains of famous generals such as Lai Enci and Liu Qilong, as well as several magnificent and unique "general buildings" are distributed in an orderly manner. In modern times, it was also a military fortress. In 1839, the first shot against foreign invasion in China's modern history - the Battle of Kowloon was started here and ended in victory. Therefore, in mid-1995, the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee listed Dapeng City as the "Shenzhen Patriotic Education Base"; on July 16, 2001, the State Council listed Dapeng City as the fifth batch of key cultural relics protection units in the country; in 2003 On October 8, 2004, Pengcheng Village was rated as one of the first batch of Chinese historical and cultural villages by the Ministry of Construction and the State Administration of Cultural Heritage; on June 28, 2004, Dapeng Village ranked first among the "Eight Scenic Spots of Shenzhen" with high votes.
Since it is the first of the "Eight Scenic Spots of Shenzhen", in addition to the historical relics of famous patriotic generals, there should be other places to attract tourists. That’s right! In addition to the well-preserved three Ming Dynasty gates in the east, south and west of the ancient city itself and the residential houses from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there are also winding and narrow bluestone alleys, which give people a quiet and simple feeling. On the tower, there are also forts and cannons, as well as bell and drum towers and flags, allowing visitors to experience the ancient wartime scenes.
When visiting Dapeng Ancient City, you can also appreciate Dapeng’s unique folk customs. Dapeng people have their own language, living habits and worship. The most distinctive one is "Dapeng dialect", which is different from vernacular and Hakka, but a military language. This is because the ancient city of Dapeng was a military camp. Soldiers came from all over the country. They brought different languages. Due to the need for communication, a fusion language was gradually formed, which is the so-called "Dapeng Mandarin". In addition to Dapeng dialect, another typical feature of Dapeng people is that Dapeng women all wear a "straw hat" with a red top and blue rim. "Lang hat" is made of thin bamboo strips, rolled up into a rim, leaving a round hole in the middle, with sea blue cloth hanging around it, and the top painted bright red. Because Dapeng people are all descendants of soldiers, the tops of military caps in the Qing Dynasty were red. Dapeng women painted the straw hats they wore all day long, which symbolized that they were descendants of soldiers and a tribute to their glory. A hint of life experience.
