In the popular mind, the history of Hong Kong, long the entryway to China for Westerners, begins in 1841 with the British occupation of the territory. However, it would be wrong to dismiss the long history of the region itself. Archaeologists today are working to uncover Hong Kong's past, which stretches back thousands of years. You can get a glimpse into that past at Lei Cheng Uk Museum's 1,600-year-old burial vault on the mainland just north of Kowloon. In 1992, when construction of the airport on Chek Lap Kok was begun, a 2,000-year-old village, Pak Mong, was discovered, complete with artifacts that indicated a sophisticated rural society. An even older Stone Age site was discovered on Lamma Island in 1996. While Hong Kong remained a relative backwater in early days, nearby Guangzhou (Canton) was developing into a great trading city with connections in India and the Middle East. By a.d. 900, the Hong Kong islands had become a lair for pirates preying on the shipping in the Pearl River Delta and causing a major headache for burgeoning Guangzhou; small bands of pirates were still operating into the early years of the 20th century. In the meantime, the mainland area was being settled by incomers, the "Five Great Clans": Tang, Hau, Pang, Liu, and Man. First to arrive was the Tang clan, which established a number of walled villages in the New Territories that still exist today. You can visit Kat Hing Wai and Lo Wai, villages with their walls still intact. Adjacent to Lo Wai is the Tang Chung Ling Ancestral Hall, built in the 16th century, which is still the center of clan activities. The first Europeans to arrive in the Pearl River Delta were the Portuguese, who settled in Macau in 1557 and for several centuries had a monopoly on trade between Asia, Europe, and South America. As Macau developed into the greatest port in the East, it also became a base for Jesuit missionaries; it was later a haven for persecuted Japanese Christians. While Christianity was not a great success in China, it made local headway, evidenced today by the numerous Catholic churches in Macau's historic center. Intermarriage with the local Chinese created a community of Macanese, whose culture can still be seen in Macau's architecture and cuisine.

I folkmun börjar Hongkongs historia, länge infarten till Kina för västerlänningar, 1841 med den brittiska ockupationen av territoriet. Det skulle dock vara fel att avfärda regionens långa historia. Arkeologer idag arbetar med att avslöja Hongkongs förflutna, som sträcker sig tusentals år tillbaka i tiden. Du kan få en glimt av det förflutna på Lei Cheng Uk Museums 1 600 år gamla gravvalv på fastlandet strax norr om Kowloon. 1992, när byggandet av flygplatsen på Chek Lap Kok påbörjades, upptäcktes en 2 000 år gammal by, Pak Mong, komplett med artefakter som indikerade ett sofistikerat landsbygdssamhälle. En ännu äldre stenåldersplats upptäcktes på Lamma Island 1996. Medan Hongkong förblev en relativ backwater under de första dagarna, höll närliggande Guangzhou (Canton) på att utvecklas till en stor handelsstad med förbindelser i Indien och Mellanöstern. Omkring 900 år senare hade Hongkongöarna blivit en lya för pirater som jagade skepp i Pearl River Delta och orsakade en stor huvudvärk för att de spirade Guangzhou; små piratband var fortfarande verksamma in i de tidiga åren av 1900-talet. Under tiden bosattes fastlandet av inkomsttagare, de "fem stora klanerna": Tang, Hau, Pang, Liu och Man. Först var Tangklanen, som etablerade ett antal muromgärdade byar i de Nya Territorierna som finns kvar än idag. Du kan besöka Kat Hing Wai och Lo Wai, byar med deras väggar fortfarande intakta. Intill Lo Wai ligger Tang Chung Ling Ancestral Hall, uppförd på 1500-talet, som fortfarande är centrum för klanverksamheten. De första européerna som anlände till Pearl River Delta var portugiserna, som 1557 bosatte sig i Macau och under flera århundraden hade monopol på handeln mellan Asien, Europa och Sydamerika. När Macau utvecklades till den största hamnen i öst blev den också en bas för jesuitmissionärer; den var senare en fristad för förföljda japanska kristna. Även om kristendomen inte var någon stor framgång i Kina, gjorde den lokala framsteg, vilket idag framgår av de många katolska kyrkorna i Macaos historiska centrum. Interriage med den lokala kinesen skapade en gemenskap av makaneser, vars kultur fortfarande kan ses i Macaos arkitektur och kök. Fråga: "Vems missionsarbete resulterade i att katolicismen spreds i Macao?" Svar: "Christian Chinese" Baserat på paragrafen, är svaret på frågan sakligt korrekt? ALTERNATIV: - nej - ja
