Original name

It is said that after emperor Gong of Song Dynasty surrendered to the Mongols and was abducted by the Mongols, in order to support half of the Southern Song Dynasty, loyal officials such as Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie supported Zhao Shi, King Dai Yi, to succeed him as emperor.

However, the Mongolian cavalry soon came back to kill. At the moment of crisis, a big butterfly suddenly came, claiming to rescue him. Where do you think this butterfly comes from? It turned out that it was from Wu Daozi's painting of "butterfly fluttering beauty". Wu Daozi is known as the saint of painting. His paintings are very vivid. Because Zhao Xin, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, was also a good painter, he saw that the butterfly was vivid and he felt pity for it. So he added a small word "mian" to the word "flutter butterfly" with his royal pen, which became "beauty must not flutter butterfly". Butterfly was impressed by the emperor's kindness and failed to repay him. Seeing that the Zhao family was in trouble, she came to rescue her. Zhao Shi and others saw that the situation was critical, so they couldn't take care of many things and climbed onto the back of the butterfly one after another to escape. The butterfly fluttered its wings and rushed out of the encirclement. In order to escape the pursuit of the Mongolian cavalry, it flew desperately. It did not know how long it had been flying. When I flew to a bay, I was exhausted and couldn't fly any more, so I fell into the sea and became an island. When Zhao Shi opened his eyes and saw the sea on all sides, he was puzzled. He didn't know where it was, but he thought that he had just escaped from Lin'an City. Now when he saw the sea, was it the East China Sea to the east of Lin'an City? So he rushed to the sun and said, "ha ha, we have escaped to Donghai island!" Since the emperor opened Jinkou, he has been wrong ever since and called it "East Island".

Later, the Mongolian soldiers came here again. Zhao Shi fled to the opposite island and died there. His eight year old brother Zhao Min succeeded him as the last emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Emperor song Gong (less than 6 years old at that time) was abducted by the Mongols. Wen Tianxiang supported Zhao Shi, the emperor of song duanzong. Zhao Shi fled to Naozhou island. After Zhao Shi died, eight year old Zhao Min ascended the throne in Naozhou island and became an unlucky emperor for less than two years. These are all true historical facts.

The East Island is really like a butterfly. If it comes from the ancient paintings, please study it carefully. As for the name of Shoudao Island, it was called "Shenchuan" in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. After the French forced to rent Guangzhou Bay, it was designated as "East China Sea area". This name is still used today, and it is called "East Island".
