Is the milk lane named after the local people's desire to have children? What is the real meaning?

As for "naming", everyone knows that it was asked by the university. Because of different names, it can bring countless troubles. Just like people's names, many people's names should be cancelled because of homophonic stalks, which may have an impact on children's production. After all, a name is a label that accompanies a lifetime, and it is generally not easily modified. However, it is not only people who need to pay great attention to naming names, but also place names. But contrary to people's names, if you have a strange name, it will attract people's attention and attract tourists, such as this embarrassing place.

How much do you know about Lugang Town? Many people should think of a song of the same name by Mr. Tayu Lo. In the song, Lugang Town is a traditional town different from Taipei. There are no simple neon lights here, only devout people burn incense here. It is also true that this is a small town with a unique traditional desktop style. Once the second largest town in Taiwan Province Province, it was originally the residence of Pingpu people. Later, a large number of Fujian people came here to develop and connected the trade between the two sides of the mainland, so it was particularly prosperous. Therefore, a large number of traditional folk customs with the same origin as southern Fujian are preserved here. Both Tianhou Palace and traditional houses have a special charm. They generally have a very simple and leisurely southern Fujian feeling and are very popular with tourists.

In other words, there is a unique scenic spot here that makes tourists very shy. It is "touching the milk lane". Located in North Street of Lugang Ancient Town. This is a narrow lane with a history of more than 200 years. It turned out to be the main passage of Caiyuan Road, which is famous for its extremely narrow. In fact, there is also a nickname called "Gentleman Lane" here, because the passage is extremely narrow, and the narrowest place is less than 70 cm, which can only be crossed by one person. If men and women come face to face, they will be particularly embarrassed when they pass by, so it becomes a problem whether you let me or you let me go, because often both sides will let the other go first, which reflects the virtue of a gentleman, so they have the nickname "Gentleman Lane".

According to the older generation, the reason why this alley is so narrow is mainly because it is often attacked by strong sea breeze and typhoon in summer, so in order to resist the strong wind, the spacing between houses will be narrow. If you look at the traditional houses in southern Fujian, it is actually very similar. In order to prevent the early houses from being blown down, they will be built narrower.

In fact, the name of this roadway is not only "Gentleman's Lane", but even more widely known than "Gentleman's Lane". Hearing this name, many people will misunderstand its meaning. The truth is not what you think. The reason for taking this name is that the ancients in Lukang were eager to have children, almost to the point of dreaming at night in daydreaming. In ancient times, dreaming of Kirin meant that they were about to get pregnant, so this long and narrow alley was named "Menglin Lane" for pregnancy. However, because in Minnan language, "Menglin" was transliterated as "Menglin", which was similar to the pronunciation of touching milk in Minnan language, it was derived over time.

Moreover, this unique name has indeed brought many people to Lugang, but many tourists don't know its true meaning, so they often make jokes. In fact, the local dialect in China is still very interesting. Nowadays, Minnan dialect has gained a lot of attention because of the foreign Chinese. I wonder how you evaluate this wonderful name?
