释义

名词

桥北路（North Bridge Road）的俗称。也称“水仙门头街”、“小坡大马路”。

DEFINITION

Noun

The colloquial name of North Bridge Road. Also known in Mandarin as “水仙门头街”, “小坡大马路”.

由来
  • 水仙门的范围很广，主要以如今坐落于驳船北码头（North Boat Quay）的水仙门中心（High Street Centre ，旧称为水仙门商业大厦）为中心展开。若从新加坡河口算起，桥北路实为水仙门一带的第一条街头，因此也俗称为水仙门头街。
  • 有说法认为，水仙门这个名称是源自宋代泉州府海关附近的水仙门（因当地有一座船员祭祀的水仙宫而得名）。
  • 根据现有的史料考证，新加坡早期并无水仙宫。有说法认为，水仙门地名的沿用是早期泉州移民以泉州海口代指新加坡河口，以延续故乡的风土人情。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The “水仙门” area was large and was centered at the site of the present High Street Centre (“水仙门中心”, formerly known as “水仙门商业大厦”) located at North Boat Quay. From the estuary of the Singapore River, North Bridge Road was in fact the first street in the “水仙门” area, and was thus also colloquially known as “水仙门头街” (first street in “水仙门”).
  • It is believed that the name “水仙门” originated from “水仙门” (Water Deity Gate) near the customs in Quanzhou Prefecture during the Song Dynasty, which was in turn named after a local “水仙宫” (Water Deity Temple) where seafarers went for worshipping.
  • According to available historical records, there was no temple named “水仙宫” in Singapore in the early days. It is believed that the name “水仙门” was coined by early Quanzhou immigrants to refer to the mouth of the Singapore River, in reference to the estuary of Quanzhou, in a bid to preserve the customs and traditions of their homeland.
