Checheng Township[1] is a rural township in Pingtung County, Taiwan.[2]
Names and etymology
The name of the town. Checheng (Шаблон:Zh) combines the Chinese character for "cart", Шаблон:Zh today used to refer to cars and other motorized transport, and Шаблон:Zh which is used in words for walled fortresses and cities, but which in the Taiwanese historical context refers to a town with an earthen security berm.
With the arrival of ethnic Chinese on Taiwan, the native Paiwan name of Kabeyawan was transliterated as Ku-piah-oan (Шаблон:Lang) in the Taiwanese Hokkien language of these new settlers.[3] Following the period of Dutch rule in the 17th century, the name Thóng-léng-po͘ (Шаблон:Lang; Hakka: Thúng-liâng-phû) was used after Koxinga's son and successor Zheng Jing stationed troops there under a Шаблон:Ill (Шаблон:Lang),[3] a military officer with rank roughly equal to a battalion commander; The suffix po͘ (Шаблон:Lang) is often used for place names in Taiwan. A village gradually grew up in the area.[3]
After the Manchu Qing Dynasty assumed control of the lowlands of western Taiwan, ethnic Chinese settlers wanted protection from aboriginal attacks.[3] A wooden palisade was built around the town giving rise to a new name, Chhâ-siâⁿ (Шаблон:Lang; Hakka: Tshài-sàng),[3] using the character Шаблон:Lang (chhâ) which is the Hokkien word for "wood". Thus Chhâ-siâⁿ has roughly the meaning of "stockade".
In 1788, the fifty-third year of the Qianlong Emperor's rule, Manchu general Fuk'anggan landed his army in the area to suppress the Lin Shuangwen rebellion.[3] In commemoration, the town received yet another name Hok-an-chng (Шаблон:Lang; also Hok-an-siâⁿ [[[:Шаблон:Lang]]]),[3] with Шаблон:Lang from Fuk'anggan's Chinese name and Шаблон:Lang for "pacified", plus Шаблон:Lang, meaning "hamlet".
The origin of the town's current name Checheng is disputed.[3] Some such as Japanese anthropologist Inō Kanori believe that it arose as a mispronunciation of Chhâ-siâⁿ (Шаблон:Lang);[3] the pronunciations of Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Lang are similar in both Hokkien and Hakka, chhâ/chhia and tshài/tshâ respectively. Another theory is that as an aboriginal army approached the town, the inhabitants used dozens of oxcarts carrying charcoal to lined up as a defense.[3]
Today, Hokkien-speaking inhabitants continue to pronounce the name of the town with the older Chhâ-siâⁿ, though the written form is almost inevitably Шаблон:Lang. English-language maps and sources have historically used spellings such as Chasiang that reflect this pronunciation.
