The story of the old place name in Jiujiang;
Meizhanpo is located in Xunyang city. It faces Wugui Factory in the east, Xunyang Road in the south, Lotus Pond in the west, Confucian Temple in the west and Dazhong Road in the north. It is about 200 meters long and about 7 meters at its widest point. Originally a natural slope, there were several sidewalks up and down the old slope, extending in all directions.
Most of the houses here used to be short-lived houses. Since the early 1990s, developers have been engaged in real estate development here, and this slope has been leveled. The origin of the name of Meizhan slope.
The more detailed statement is this: During the Chongde period in the Qing Dynasty, a businessman named Mei, who had been doing business abroad for more than a year, returned to visit and settle down. Bought land, built a house on the slope, and opened a cloth shop on the corner in front of the slope. This person especially likes "Catharanthus roseus" (people call it "Four Seasons Plum").
Several plants are planted in front of the house where he lives. This kind of flower has a large amount of flowers, a special flowering period, lush flowers and vitality. In autumn, the flowers bloom and wither, but the plum blossoms in the four seasons are still so dazzling. Even in winter.
Therefore, it has the reputation of "Spring Day" and "Four Seasons Plum". When the residents nearby saw it, they all liked it and came to ask for seeds to plant. At that time, plum blossoms bloomed all over the hillside. "Mei Zhanpo" got its name from this.
It is worth pointing out that Jiujiang people often pronounce this place name in two ways. One said "Mei Dingpo". This should be a typo. Because the right side of the word "Zhan" is just a word "Ding". That's exactly what I said: "the eldest son reads one section and the dwarf reads half."
Second: "coal slope". This should be a slip of the tongue and ears of Jiujiang people. Jiujiang dialect sounds like "coal slope" as long as the word "Mei Zhanpo" is pronounced quickly.
Today's "plum blossom slope" has neither "plum blossom" nor "slope". However, it left people with beautiful memories and expectations and longings for the future of Sung Hoon.
