Historical evolution

It is said that the name "Daming" began at the end of Tang Dynasty when the surname Lin moved to Dehua Jianzu Yu "dalongtang", and later moved to today's place. It is "engraved and remembered" and "forever commemorated" its ancestor. Because "Ming" in Minnan dialect is similar to "long", Daming is derived from "Dalong".

In the Tang Dynasty, people had settled down in the East jiuxianshan area of Daming and built temples. Since the Song Dynasty, with the migration and reproduction of foreign population, it has gradually flourished. During the period from the middle of Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, the population gradually declined due to local unrest and large-scale migration. According to historical records, more than 110 people from shangru (now ShangXu Village) moved to Shunchang, Shaxian, Jianning and other places, and more than 20 people made a living in Taiwan and Nanyang. In the song and Ming Dynasties, Daming belonged to Dehua Jixian township; in the Qing Dynasty, it belonged to meizhongli and tangquanli respectively, and it belonged to Shuangyang Township in the early days of the people's Republic of China.
