Tan-shui
Language: English
Part of speech: name
Etymology: From Mandarin 淡水 (Dànshuǐ) Wade–Giles romanization: Tan⁴-shui³.
Senses: examples: text: Taipei lies on the east bank of the Tan-shui river between the mouths of two of its tributaries, the Hsin-tien and the Chi-lung. These rivers drain a fertile and humid basin surrounded by mountains on all sides but the northwest, where the Tan-shui flows into the Taiwan Straits facing the mainland. It was here, near the harbors of the Tan-shui estuary, site of the present-day town of Tan-shui, that the first Chinese settlements in northern Taiwan were established during the first half of the seventeenth century, and perhaps earlier as pirate bases.
ref: 1974, Stephan Feuchtwang, “City Temples in Taipei Under Three Regimes”, in Mark Elvin, G. William Skinner, editors, The Chinese City Between Two Worlds, Stanford, Cali.: Stanford University Press, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 264:
text: They felt, with an eye on Japan, that it could also serve as a point of departure for Spanish missionaries. Since the isolated fort did not give sufficient protection, in 1628 they sent a unit to occupy the coast of the adjacent tip of Taiwan, at Tan-shui.
ref: 2003, Henry Kamen, Empire: How Spain Became a World Power, 1492-1763, HarperCollins, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 395:
text: The point — and the symbolism — was that so long as the informer kept his mouth shut he was alive. Harry had seen the result of zjuk carried out by the Tapei Triad on a poor jerk they found in a back street of Tan-shui. They had used broad nail heads that didn’t make such big holes on their way in. When the paramedics came and pulled the brick off the dead man, the face came with it.
