Panyu was an ancient county in the Qin Dynasty. Before the Qin Dynasty, Panyu and Lingnan had many names. The "Lingnan Road" in the annals of Yuanhe County reads: "Guangzhou, the land of spring and autumn." It was generally called Baiyue in the Spring and Autumn Period and Yangyue in the Warring States Period. "Historical Records Biography of South Vietnam" said: "Qin has merged with the world and slightly set Yangyue, setting Guilin, Nanhai and Xiang Jun." Zhang Yan's "Yangyue" gambles: "Yangzhou's South Vietnam is also." He also quoted the cloud in the Warring States Policy: "When Wu Qi attacked Chu, he won YueYang". "YueYang" in the Warring States Period generally includes four provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan and Jiangxi. Lingnan, with inconvenient transportation, vast territory and sparse population, has not become the sphere of influence of Chu. In the Qin Dynasty, it was also called "Lvliang" in Lingnan, and The Chronicle of Qin Shihuang recorded: "Thirty-three years. ..... Take Lvliang, Guilin, Xiang Jun and Nanhai for example. ". "Justice" notes: "Lingnan people are mountainous and strong, so they are called Lvliang". "Yangyue" is an ancient name with a wide geographical area; After the name "Lvliang", it refers to Lingnan. The name "Panyu" dates back to the Warring States Period. Notes on Shuijing: "Shuidong's water does not pass through Panyu, and the mountain and sea classics are called Benyu." The Classic of Mountains and Seas contains "Eight Trees in East Guilin", and Guo Pu notes: "Today Panyu." The historical data in the early Han Dynasty also mentioned "Panyu" in many places, or it was written as "Panyu (Corner)", that is, Panyu in Guangzhou today was the most important settlement in Lingnan at that time, and it had become a regional political and economic center, and it was also the earliest place name in Guangdong. The name "Panyu" has always had different opinions. There are three main points: First, the theory of "two mountains". Geographical records of the later Han Dynasty, records of Yuanhe county in Tang Dynasty, records of beginners, etc. Everyone thinks that the county has Fanshan and Yushan, so it is named after this. In the Ming Dynasty, Huang Zuo's "Guangdong Tongzhi" contained: "Panyu County governs Fanshan in the southeast, with many kapok mountains and a palace under it; From south to north, there are many pines and cypresses in Yushan. " Huang Zuo's "Panyu Two Mountains" says: "The two mountains are connected like a city, and the southern Han Dynasty is leveled." Panyu is named after two mountains and has a long history. The second is the theory of "one mountain", that is, the corner of Fanshan. Li Daoyuan's Notes on Water Classics says: "There is a Shuikeng Mausoleum in the southeast of this city, and the city leans on it. It is said that this county is called Fanshan; The county name Panyu is also the name of Fanshan. " Yu, that is, Yu Guang, refers to the nearby place. The third is the theory of "barbarian land". 1953 A lacquer box with the word "Fanyu" was unearthed from the tomb of Shitougang, West Village, Guangzhou 1 983. 1983 A bronze tripod with the word "Fanyu" was unearthed from the tomb of Nanyue King in Hong Kong, Guangzhou. According to the unearthed cultural relics, archaeologist Mai believes that from the Qin Dynasty to the early Han Dynasty, Panyu's "Fan" wrote "Fan" and "Fan" interacted with "Fan". Which means barbarians and barbarians. "Zhou Li Qiu Guan" says: "Beyond Kyushu, it is called a model country". Yu, still a corner, refers to a remote place. Before the Qin and Han Dynasties, Panyu was a secluded corner, which was regarded as a remote and barbarian place by the Han people in the Central Plains, hence the name. The above three statements are inconclusive. Local chronicles, county chronicles and county chronicles of past dynasties hold the theory of "two mountains". Many places in our country have the practice of naming place names because of mountains and waters. Most people inherited the old saying that Panyu was named after Fanshan and Yushan. In addition, people think "Panyu" is the name of the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor. Some people think that Panyu originated from Nanhai God or Panyu, that is, Pangu; There is also a saying that "Panyu" is a slang (Li) language, that is, "salt village".
