Pantang, formerly known as Bantang, got its name because it covered more than half of the ponds in the past. Pantang road is located in Liwan District, Guangzhou. It starts from the main entrance of Liwan Lake Park on Longjin West Road in the South and connects Zhongshan 8th Road in the north. It was completed by widening shilutou street.

history

Pangtang, Xiguan

Located in the western suburb of Guangzhou, it is a part of the former site of "liuwanghuawu" in the imperial garden of the late Southern Han Dynasty. At the foot of Wenta (Yunjin Pavilion) opposite Panxi restaurant, there used to be a stone tablet engraved with "Liu Wang Huawu". In the Qing Dynasty, pantang was one of the 18 townships under the jurisdiction of sizhoubao, Nanhai County, and it was also the richest one among the 18 townships. According to Qu Dajun's Guangdong Xinyu, the place name "pantang" evolved from the word "Bantang". At that time, outside the west gate, within a radius of more than 20 miles from Longjin bridge to chanchong, ponds were all over the place, covering more than half of the area. People called this place "Bantang". Today, the gate in the fifth covenant of pantang is also preserved with a stone archway engraved with the word "Bantang". In addition, there is another explanation for the origin of "Bantang". In ancient times, government offices, schools and government offices were surrounded by round ponds, while the lower level buildings could only have a pond surrounded by a semicircle. It is said that there was a school in pantang Township before (and there was also a Wenta nearby). Over time, the place name of "Bantang" came into being because of the buildings. As for when "Bantang" was changed to "pantang", it is difficult to study now. Only according to the couplet of "Renwei Temple" (built in Qianlong's year) on enzhouzhi street beside Liwan Lake Park, there is a sentence of "Longjin lianpanshui". It can be seen that "pantang" was already known in the 18th century. The reason why the word "ban" should be replaced by "pan" is that "ban" and "pan" are interlinked in ancient times, and "pan" is more elegant and auspicious. In the old days, it was called "Rupan" when students were admitted to the imperial examination, so the school at that time was also called "Pan Palace". In ancient times, the area of pantang was once a vast ocean. In the Tang Dynasty, the land was formed by the alluvial sediment of the Pearl River. Due to the low and flat terrain, it was mostly ponds and depressions. Later generations built a foundation beside the pond, planted litchi and longan on the foundation, and planted lotus root and water chestnut in the pond. As a result, pantang produced the famous "five beauties of pantang": lotus root, water chestnut (horseshoe), water chestnut (Hongling), Cigu (Sagittaria Sagittaria), and Zizania (Zizania latifolia shoot, Zizania latifolia shoot). "Wuxiu" was originally called "Wushou", which means that these five kinds of aquatic vegetables are all thin. It is said that the name of "Wuxiu" was chosen by several literati who visited here during the reign of Guangxu to make it more elegant. Later, due to the needs of urban development, most of the pond depressions in pantang were filled as land, forming today's residential areas. In 1958, the government called on the masses to do voluntary labor to excavate Liwan Lake in pantang, and then built Liwan Lake Park. Today's pantang Road, which started construction in March 2003 and opened to traffic in late April, has become a two-way four lane urban traffic secondary road. In the past, the scene of ponds all over the world is hard to find.

The pagoda and style of writing in pantang

In the vicinity of Bantang, Liwan District, there is a national garden restaurant, Panxi, with a Wenta. Wenta is 13 meters high, two stories, hexagonal spire, green brick and stone feet, brick and wood structure, the bottom of the tower is 2.5 meters wide on each side, the tower door faces north, there is a "south axis" stone plaque at the front of the door, and there are small windows on the second floor, on which the plaque "Yunjin Pavilion" means that Qingyun has a road. According to experts' investigation, the style and features of the pagoda are similar to those of the Ming Dynasty, and it is inferred that it was built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the past, the Wenta in pantang was very important in the minds of the villagers and elders. According to the word of mouth, it turns out that the area around pantang is a small town. The villagers are martial but not literate, so the local style is simple and wild. At that time, there was an old man who said that "gentlemanly is a gentleman". In order to revitalize the culture, the people of pantang raised funds to build the Wenta on the slope. So in the river branch, the Wenta looks like a giant pen in the sky, adding a good scenic spot and a good place.

After the Wenta was built, the folk customs of pantang gradually changed, which led to many stories In the past, there was a custom of dragon boat racing in pantang. According to the explanation, there is a son-in-law surnamed Xu who likes to be lively. On the Dragon Boat Festival one year, he made a promise of red and golden pigs as a reward for the athletes. For a time, the dragon was flying on the river, the gongs and drums were blaring in the sky, and people were shouting on the river and on the bank. The scene was very lively. At that time, the victory and defeat on the river gradually became clear. The two golden dragons flew like arrows towards the prize, leaving the dragons far behind. In a twinkling of an eye, they came to the "championship". It was Yanbu's dragon boat that was a little ahead of the time and was about to win the championship. Unexpectedly, when it was close to the championship, a swift boy on the pantang dragon boat, a Harrier, turned over and flew ashore to win the championship, For a moment, the sound of gongs and drums, shouts, clamour and cheers all over the river were silent. At that time, it took a lot of effort to discuss the award. On the ship's speed, it was Yanbu. On the person's winning, it was pantang. Later, the award was awarded to pantang. When a group of lengtouqing in pantang happily carried Huahong Jinzhu back to the village, they were criticized by the elders of the village, saying that they were "invincible". Therefore, we discussed that the pig should be sent back to Yanbu. The next day, the public still respected the referee, so they rowed the red pig back to pangtang. Third, when the weather was hot and the waterway was far away, the golden pig had become damp and stale. The old people of the latter two villages discussed with each other, so it would be better to get along with each other and be friendly to each other. As a result, the story of "Dragon Boat friendship" between the two places has been handed down to this day. Every year on the fifth day of May, Yanbu people go to pantang to celebrate. On the sixth day of the fifth day of the fifth day of the fifth day of the fifth day of the fifth day of the fifth day of the fifth day of the fifth day of the fifth day of the fifth day of the fifth day of the fifth day of the fifth day of the fifth day of the fifth day of the fifth day of the fifth day of the.

During the reign of Tongzhi, there was a Huang Qibiao in the fifth year of pantang. He was a Jinshi in senior high school. He worshipped shuntianfu and had a good reputation as an official. When he returned home, local officials and dignitaries refused to invite him to a banquet. In Japan, he made a living by planting Lai. Even when he married his daughter-in-law, he had no money and sold his land to raise money. Up to now, in the stone couplet of Wuyue Road Pavilion in pantang, there are still his handwriting: "the gate connects with the water and faces the north pole, and the road meets the gold and flourishes in the west". The handwriting is clear and Qu, quite like him.

In the past, pantang enjoyed the entertainment of "writing four sentences" on New Year's day, or on the occasion of a small entrance examination or delin'er. He used to improvise to write poems and answer questions. The sentence pattern is mainly composed of seven words, and there are four, five, six and miscellaneous words. Generally, there are four sentences, but in fact, there are more than four sentences. The content is mostly related to daily life, and also related to politics. The song "dragon candle", which has been handed down so far, reflects the uprising of Huanghuagang. "Tiao Si Ju" is semi literate in the choice of words and sentences. It also uses the spoken language of pantang, which is more popular than before. The content involves the book of songs, mythology, history, five elements and so on. It can be seen from it that the folk custom of pantang has increased its literary spirit in its simplicity.

In the past few hundred years, great changes have taken place in the topography around pantang Wenta. After liberation, in order to better protect the pantang Wenta, Liwan District spent more than 600000 yuan from 1985 to 1988 to create 700 square meters of land. Flowers and trees were widely planted around the Wenta. Because of the bonsai, a lush and elegant small garden was built, named "Yunjin garden". In November 1993, Wenta was designated as an internal cultural relic protection unit in Guangzhou.

It has been rebuilt and rebuilt many times in the past dynasties, including large-scale reconstruction in the Qianlong and Tongzhi years of the Qing Dynasty. This ancient temple has many popular stories.

The origin of pantang Wuxiu (thin)

In the past, pantang in Xiguan was rich in aquatic fruits and vegetables, among which lotus root, horseshoe, water chestnut, water bamboo shoot and Cigu were collectively known as "pantang five show". It is said that after Bodhidharma, the ancestor of Zen trace, arrived in Guangzhou in the first year of Liang Datong (A.D. 527), the Wuxiu temple in pantang was built in the place where he landed. Later, Wuxiu temple was given to the people of pantang Township by Abbot Wuliang of Xichan temple. So Wuxiu settled in pantang.

It is said that Chen Mengji and Fang Tangjing went to see the dragon boat in pantang, and they thought that such a good product should be called "five show", and eventually became the five show in pantang.

Pantang is located in Xiguan, Guangzhou. The area from Longjin West Road, pantang Wuyue to Liwan Lake Park is called pantang. Legend: there used to be a pond in pantang village, which was always full of water. One year, it was a severe drought. Villagers used pond water for irrigation. After half of the irrigation, the water level of the pond would not drop again. The next day, when the pond was full again, the villagers named the village "Bantang". Later, a scholar thought that Bantang was not elegant, and that it would be better to add three more points of water? After hearing about it, the elders in the village thought that pan with three drops of water was "entering pan", and "entering pan" would be the meaning of going to school. The implication was very good. From then on, "Bantang" changed
