What are the stories in Macau?

Macau became the territory of China from the Qin Dynasty, and was leased by the Portuguese from 1557 in the Ming Dynasty. It was not until 1887 that the Portuguese government and the Qing government signed the Sino-Portuguese Reconciliation and Trade Treaty (which expired in 1928) that Macao became Portugal's "permanent administrative region" and became the first territory of European countries in East Asia. Macao, known as Haojing 'ao in ancient times, has a close historical relationship with Xiangshan County. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Xiangshan was already the land of more than 100 Guangdong islands. About the 3rd century ago (that is, when Qin Shihuang unified China), Macau was formally incorporated into Chinese territory and belonged to Panyu County, Nanhai County. In 420 (Jin and Yuan Dynasties), Macao belonged to Fengle County and Xinhui County. In 590 (the tenth year of Emperor Yangdi), Xinhui County was abolished and changed to Baoan County, and in 757 (the second year of Tang Dynasty to Germany), Baoan County was abolished and changed to Dongguan County. Since the Southern Song Dynasty, Macao has been under the jurisdiction of Xiangshan County, Guangdong Province. According to historical records, Zhang Shijie and his army were stationed in this area at the end of the Song Dynasty. People who settled in Macao in the early days formed small villages here and made a living by fishing and farming. Since Macao, the sacred territory of China, has been illegally occupied by Portugal since ancient times, the Portuguese of Macao's coat of arms have always enjoyed privileges or special status in Macao during the period of the Australian-Portuguese government, which has made the residents dissatisfied to some extent. From1August 29th, 849, when Shen Zhiliang assassinated Governor Amalio, to1February 3rd, 966, the "December 13th" incident and the Taipa School incident triggered by the Cultural Revolution showed that people were deeply dissatisfied with the Portuguese privileges in Macao. 1On April 25th, 974, the Portuguese revolution was successful, and the new government implemented the policy of decolonization, recognizing that Macao was illegally occupied by Portugal, which was the territory of China under the current Portuguese regime, and Macao's sovereignty belonged to China. From 65438 to 0986, the Chinese and Portuguese governments started four rounds of negotiations on the Macao issue. 1April, 1987 13, the two prime ministers signed a joint statement on Macao and its two annexes in Beijing. According to the Joint Declaration, Macao (including Macao Peninsula, Taipa Island and Sixth Ring Road) is the territory of China, and People's Republic of China (PRC) will resume the exercise of sovereignty over Macao on February 20th. China promised to implement one country, two systems for Macao, and ensured that Macao people enjoyed the right of "a high degree of autonomy and Macao people ruling Macao". 1On March 3, 9931,the National People's Congress passed the Basic Law of the Macao Special Administrative Region in Beijing. 1 at 0: 00 on February 20th, 1999, witnessed by the heads of state of China and Portugal, Wei Qili, the 27th Governor of Macao, and He Houhua, the1Chief Executive of the Macao Special Administrative Region, handed over the Macao regime at the handover ceremony venue of the new Macao port. The next morning (65438+February 2 1), the people of Macao welcomed the PLA troops stationed in Macao; At this point, People's Republic of China (PRC) officially resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Macao. The name of this city originated from Macao, which used to be a small fishing village. Its real name is Haojing or Haojing 'ao, and it was called "Macau" because it could be called "Macau" at that time. Macao and its vicinity are rich in oysters (that is, oysters), and the inner wall of oyster shells is as bright as a mirror, so Macao is called oyster mirror. Later generations changed the name to a more elegant "Hao Jing". A Brief History of Macau published during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty said: "The name of Hao Jing was written in the history of Ming Dynasty. East-west five or six miles, north-south half way, north-south two bays, you can park. Or the North and South Bay, round as a mirror, is called a mirror. " From this name, a series of Macao aliases such as Haojiang, Haijing and Jinghai were derived. The name Macau comes from the goddess China-Tianhou, also known as Mazu, also known as Mother, who is greatly worshipped by a fisherman. It is said that a fishing boat was caught in a storm while sailing on a clear and windless day, and the fishermen were in danger. At the critical moment, a young girl stepped forward and ordered to stop the storm. The wind has actually stopped, the sea has returned to calm, and the fishing boat has safely arrived at Haijing Port. After getting off the boat, the girl walked to Maggie Mountain, and suddenly a halo flashed and the girl turned into a wisp of smoke. Later, people built a temple where she landed, named Mazu Pavilion. In the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1557), the Portuguese obtained the right of abode in Macau from the Guangdong local government in the Ming Dynasty, becoming the first Europeans to enter China. It is said that the Portuguese landed near Mazu Tempel at that time and asked the local people for the place name here. Because the locals answered "Mazu" near Mazu Tempel, Macau was named "Macau" (transliteration of "Mazu" in Portuguese), and the mainland mostly spelled it as Macau. Footprints of ancestors 5000 years ago Painted pottery and jade unearthed in recent years in Macao, especially the black sand dunes around the island in 1995, have been identified as precious ancient cultural relics four or five thousand years ago. At the same time, stone axes and other stone tools unearthed belong to the same cultural system as similar cultural relics unearthed in Zhuhai, not far from Macao in recent years, indicating that as early as the Neolithic age, the Chinese nation's. Macau, Green Ring Road, Heisha and other places have long been the footprints of Chinese mainland aborigines. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, ancient residents lived in these areas. Therefore, among the cultural relics unearthed in Macao and Zhuhai, there are reeds and pots in the Spring and Autumn Period and pottery in the Warring States Period. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, China people settled in Macau for a thousand years. Although there are people there, after all, Macao is just a place where boats dock with the monsoon. It is speculated that China people settled in Macau Peninsula when the Southern Song Dynasty was overthrown. When hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians arrived in Macao by boat in the Southern Song Dynasty, some may set foot on this peninsula to draw fresh water and look for food, and some may even turn this desolate place into a hiding place. Convene the Shalitou Land Temple named "Yongfu Ancient Society" in Macao Peninsula, which is said to have been built in the late Southern Song Dynasty. From the end of the Southern Song Dynasty to the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, residents of Wang Xia and Haojing who settled in Macao Peninsula ordered the large-scale Sanba archway in Macao. Since then, the population of Macao has increased, but it is not easy to reproduce based on life because of the small place, less cultivated land and less products. Until the middle of16th century, that is, during the Jiajing period of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, Macao was still desolate. The population is sparse, and only boats are parked. At first, the Portuguese were confined to the south of Macao and were under the jurisdiction of Prince Goya. 1623, the Portuguese government appointed Marcelo as the first governor of Macao. 1640 After Portugal got rid of Spanish rule, Macau was awarded the title of "Dehousse City" for not surrendering to Spain. Macao is famous for its cultural exchanges between China and the West in history. At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, the spread of western learning to the east played an important role in this area and once had a great impact on the operation of the world economy.
