In the Western Han Dynasty (206 A.D.), Yangxian prefecture consists of Lianzhou, Liannan and Lianshan three cities. In Sui dynasty (581-618), the Emperor Kaihuang set Lianzhou on the Ben prefecture. On 8 December 1949, the Communist People's Liberation Army took over Lianxian from the Kuomintang. On 20 December in the same year, the People’s Government of Lianxian was set up. On 22 April 1994, approved by the State Council, Lianxian became Lianzhou City. In 1996, the government of Guangdong province authorized Lianzhou as a Historic and Cultural City.〔(The History of Lianzhou ).连州市政府门户网站.Retrieved June 10, 2014.〕 There were four sayings why the name of Lianzhou was from. *Lianzhou was rich in coptis because of Coptis Mountain (now belongs to Lianshan Mountain). *There were many mountains surrounding Lianzhou. So there was an old saying that "thousands of mountains were roll into one and so did the rivers"("连万山为一山，连众水为一水"). *Lianzhou was rich in tin ore. As an old saying says that "the plumbum before refined was called Lian" ("铅之未炼者曰连"或"铅锡璞名曰连"). *Because of the many mountains and rivers, the region was semi-isolated. Travelling by road was historically difficult. Lian contained the meaning of vehicle and boat, expressing it was argued the desire of people to improve the transportation network.〔(The History of Lianzhou ).连州市政府门户网站.Retrieved June 10, 2014.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lianzhou」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
