Cuiheng (Chinese:翠亨村;pinyin:Cuìhēngcūn;Jyutping:ceoi3 hang1 cyun1) is a village of the town ofNanlang,Zhongshan,Guangdong province.[1][2] Cuiheng is best known as the birthplace of Dr.Sun Yat-sen, the "Father of the Nation" of theRepublic of China.[3] Cuiheng is 17.6 kilometres (10.9 mi) southeast of downtownZhongshan, and 26 km (16 mi) north ofMacau. The whole village is designated a special economic district, asCuiheng New Area.
The village was established in the latter half of the 17th century by theFeng andMai families, who were later joined by theYang andLu (陸) families.[citation needed] The Lu surname became most numerous. At the time of Sun Yat-sen's birth in the 1860s, there were about sixty households with tensurnames. In addition to Sun,Lu Muzhen, Sun's first wife andLu Haodong (1868–1895), an early revolutionary martyr, were also born in Cuiheng.
Cuiheng is administered by Nanlang Township.[4] For a time, Cuiheng village was elevated to thetownship level and became the town of Cuiheng Village (翠亨村镇). However, in 1998 it was downgraded and reintegrated inside the town of Nanlang. On 31 March 2013 Cuiheng was upgraded into a "New Area".
Cuiheng is home to the Former Residence of Dr Sun Yat-sen (孙中山故居) and the Sun Yat-sen Residence Memorial Museum (孙中山故居纪念馆), which was built next to the residence in 1956.[3] The residence and museum complex was classified as aMajor Site Protected at the National Level ofChina in 1986 by theState Council of China. There is also aPolaris Temple (北极殿) dedicated to thePolaris Emperor (北极帝君).
