英文释义

专有名词
  1. Former name of Dongju.
    — Dongju Island is part of Juguan County. The old name of Juguan County was Bai Quan, meaning white dogs in Chinese because the contours of the mountains on Dongju and Xiju Island looked like dogs. Dong means east, and Xi means west in Chinese. So, those two islands were called Dongquan and Xiquan Island. After KMT took over Taiwan, the names of both islands were changed to Dongju and Xiju. Ju is the metaphor of taking back the lost land.
