There are many cities in China, and the name of each city has its special meaning. Some of them have been passed down from ancient times, some are concentrated in culture, and some are historical allusions. But today Xiaobian is going to introduce you to a city named after a Taoist priest. So which city is this? Why does it use the name of Taoist? Next, Xiaobian will explain it for everyone.
The city in the name of Taoist is Maoming City, Guangdong Province. It turns out that the word Maoming in Maoming city originated from a Taoist priest, who is Xu Maoming who practices Taoism. And the city is named after him with a legend.
It is said that in the Sui Dynasty, the area around Maoming City was often hit by floods because of its low terrain, and the local residents complained that they could not live and work in peace and contentment, but Emperor Wendi was at a loss about it. Later, it was recommended that a Taoist priest was not only proficient in the Five Elements theory, but also had a unique view on flood control, so Emperor Wendi found Xu Maoming and asked him to rectify the area. Xu Maoming spent many years building a stone boat in the river here.
Later, there was an epidemic in Maoming area, and many people died in vain. Xu Maoming, a monk, was familiar with medical theory and practiced Dan medicine to treat local people with the theory of five elements. Later, he saved countless local patients with his medical ethics, which made Sui Wendi even more amazed.
Xu Maoming's help to the local area is really a great achievement. In order to praise and commemorate his meritorious service, Emperor Wendi of Sui named this place Maoming, which has been passed down to this day, and now there is Maoming City.
Although today's Maoming City is not as prosperous as the first-and second-tier cities, its industry is developing rapidly, and all walks of life are in full swing. It can be described as a city with great competitiveness and potential, and people in Maoming City are living in peace and contentment, which is really a blessed land.
