Wujiang history

The Evolution of Wujiang County Wujiang County was established in August, the third year of Kaiping, Hou Liang (909). Qian Liu, the king of the Five Dynasties, asked the court to include the southern part of Wuxian County and the northern part of Jiaxing to establish Wujiang County.

Because the Wusong River, which originated from the vast downstream water network of Taihu Lake in the west and south of Songling, belonged to Wuxian in the Jin and Tang Dynasties, it was also called Wujiang at that time, and was named after the river when it was established.

And take Songling as the county seat.

The county is east-west long 180 Li and north-south long 150 Li.

In the second year of yuan dynasty (1296), Wujiang county was promoted to state, and the county governance was changed to state governance.

In the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1369), Wujiang County was changed from state to county, and state governance was changed to county governance.

In the second year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (1724), Governor Cha Bi Na of Liangjiang entrusted Suzhou, Songjiang and Changzhou with important tasks, requesting the imperial court to promote states and counties.

In the fourth year of Yongzheng, Zhenjiang County was established in the west of Wujiang County.

The two counties are bounded by rivers.

It starts from the west entrance of Guajing Port in the north, enters Qili Port, Shuyuan River and Xitang River in the east, crosses Datong Bridge, enters Xiaodongmen River (now People's Hospital) in the west, enters the front of Songling Hotel and Sanjiaojing, exits to the west, enters Hecheng River in the south, enters Wujiagang and Hangchuan Road, enters the canal from Badapo Port, enters Andeqiao in the west of Wang Ping Town, and crosses Yingying Lake.

On the west of the border is Zhenze County, and on the east is Wujiang County.

The two counties are under the jurisdiction of the same city, Wujiang county government is in the * * * compound of today's city, and Zhenze county government is in the east of Wudu Hotel today.

In the Ming and Yuan Dynasties (19 12), the two counties merged into Wujiang County.

According to Qing Qianlong's "Wujiang County Records" and Bai's "Zhenze County Records", the geographical attribution of Wujiang before the county was "from Qin Dynasty to early Tang Dynasty, Songling belonged to Wu (county) and Wucheng".

During this period, according to Tongzhi's Huzhou Fuzhi, Emperor Wu of Jin was in Taikang for three years (in 282), and Wu moved to Chengdong Township as Dongjun.

The eastern boundary moves eastward to Pingwangguan River (now the old canal in the south of the Yangtze River), the northern boundary has two east-west Dongting Mountains, which are connected with Tanggu and lead to the northern port, the southern boundary reaches Xinshi, Wuzhen, Sara, Shi Lian and Hanshan, and the western boundary is 28 miles east of Huzhou Prefecture.

Wendi moved eastward in the ninth year (589) and returned to Wucheng.

From then until the Tang Dynasty, Wuxian and Wucheng were under the jurisdiction of Suzhou.

According to the scope of the eastward-moving county, today's western Wang Ping is under the jurisdiction of the eastward-moving county for more than 300 years.

Note: The ancient Wucheng County is today's Huzhou City.

Wucheng is a Qin county, so it is located in a place called Wucheng, about 0/0 km south of Huzhou today.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he moved to Huzhou today.

At that time, the coastline of Taihu Lake may be south than today, and today's Huzhou City may be a swamp.

Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Tiaoxi area in the southwest of Taihu Lake has been gradually developed, and the number of teeth has been increasing, so it is necessary to add county-level administrative districts for management.

So in the first year of Wu Baoding in the Three Kingdoms (266), nine counties in Wu Jun and Danyang were designated, and Wuxing County was established to govern Wucheng (now Huzhou City).

To sum up, before Wujiang County was established, Wang Ping was the border, Songling Town was the center of the north, and Wucheng County was the south of Wang Ping. During this period, the west was under the jurisdiction of Dong Qian County for more than 300 years. In the 28th year of Tang Kaiyuan (740), Wang Pingxi should be included in Wuxian County; In the fifth year of Yuanhe (8 10), after Huzhou Cishifan dredged Pingwangyi South Canal, the south should be included in Wuxian County.

After the establishment of the county, the geographical ownership of Wujiang was under the jurisdiction of Suzhou from the establishment of the county in Wujiang to the end of the Qing Dynasty.

In the first year of Wujiang County's evolution (9 1 1), Wang Qian Liu ordered Suzhou people and commanders to build a city in the north and south of Wusong River source, which was called Nanjin and Beijin in history.

Later, Cheng Nan was abolished, and the northern city was called the county seat by later generations, with 50 steps around.

In the second year of Song Jiayou (1057), Wujiang magistrate Yupei rebuilt the north and south gates.

In the 12th year of Yuan Dynasty (1352), the North Gate was rebuilt in Chizaya, Lu Hua.

In the 16th year of Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng, the king of Wu, expanded the county seat into Fiona Fang Wuli 27 Steps. The wall is 2 feet high and 65,438+0 feet thick.

There are four land gates, named east, south, west and north respectively, with opposite directions, and a drum tower is built on the door; Watertown Gate has five gates in the east, south, west, north and east, and Haohe Watergate (now Hongqi Road) outside Hedong Tower in Jade Belt; More paved 180, cut the Haohe River around the city with different depths and widths.

In the eighteenth year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1482), Chen Yaobi, a magistrate of a county, rebuilt the East, West, South and North Towers, which were named Chaoyang, Wangshan, Wanghe and Wang En respectively.

In the thirty-third year of Jiajing (1554), in order to prevent Japanese pirates from harassing, Yangzhi, a magistrate of a county, built a city wall, with a height of 3 feet 1 foot, a thickness of 1 foot, a length of 1084 feet and 5 feet, four moon cities, 2,222 towers and two watchtowers.

In the fourth year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1665), Liu Dingguo, a magistrate of a county, added and repaired the city wall, including 235 1, 36 wopu, 36 arrow platforms and 4 forts.

In the fourth year of Yongzheng (1726), half of Wujiang was located in Zhenze County, which was under the jurisdiction of various counties.

At that time, the city was besieged, a few feet wide and four or five feet deep.

In seven years, the former Wujiang magistrate Xu rebuilt the city and rebuilt the East Gate and South Gate towers.

Ten years of Tongzhi (187 1), Yu Minghou of Wujiang County and Wang Wan of Zhenze County jointly built the city wall.

From 23 years (1934) to 26 years, the county magistrate Xu Youchuan rebuilt the North Gate Tower.

zhenze town

In the 29th year of Tang Kaiyuan (74 1), Zhang Jingzun, the secretariat of Huzhou, set up Zhenze Pavilion in Zhenze Town today, and the name of Zhenze began to appear in Zhi Zhi.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Shaoxing (1131-kloc-0/162) initially established the inspection department of Zhenze, which was called the town.

Zhenze is the ancient name of Taihu Lake. In the Tang Dynasty, it was called Zhenze because it was close to Taihu Lake.

tong li ancient town

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Shaoxing (1131-kloc-0/162) established Tongli Inspection Department.

According to Song's system, officials will guard the town.

Tongli has been called town ever since.

There is also a saying in Old Records that Tongli was originally named as a pagoda, but because its name was too gorgeous and impetuous, the word "pagoda" was removed from Tanaka, and Tian and Tu were merged into one and renamed Tongli.

As for the origin of fertile soil, it is said that it was cultivated and developed by Fuyang people in Zhejiang, hence the name.

In the Tang and Song Dynasties, the township was located in Jiuli Village, and it was moved to its present address in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties.

Because there are three parallel rivers in the township, it was called Tongchuan in ancient times.

Although Tongli is close to the canal, it is separated by Pangshan Lake, which has always been regarded as a paradise by gentry in history. Therefore, there are many deep houses and courtyards, and there are the most scholarly families. There is a bridge cloud that "a piece of moonlight contains rules and shadows, and books on both sides of the strait collect songs", which is a true portrayal of Tongli.

The names of Wang Ping Town and Wang Ping.

It's important to look at the military geographical position when digging the Hantong Canal and Tang Di.

Established as a post station in the Tang Dynasty, Wenzong was guarded by the garrison lieutenant during the reign of Lyon (827-840).

During the reign of Xining (1068- 1077), a military base was established in Wang Ping.

According to the Song Dynasty, the town was guarded by officers.

From then on, Wang Ping began to call the town.

Advising Du Nan (1 127) is the focus of the three auxiliary departments from the plane, and what's more, it is guarded by important officials.

In the 16th year of Yuan Dynasty (1356), Zhang Shicheng in eastern Huai occupied Pingjiang (now Suzhou), and in the 17th year, he was building a masonry earth city with a circumference of three miles, with a dry gate in the east and three water gates in the north, south and west.

This is one of the three cities in Wujiang (the other two are the county seat and lake city of Wuzou, the capital of Qidu).

In the first year of Wu Dynasty (1367), Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Pan, the son-in-law of Zhang Shicheng, and destroyed the city into a town.

In the second year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty (1427), Chen Keli wrote "Eight Scenes of Yinghu Lake", in which "it is said that since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there has been a wave of people here with few residents. From south to north, there are ponds and roads between reeds, and the sky and water are flat at first glance, which is why they look flat. "

The origin of Songling's name

In the first year of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang (206 BC), Songling Town was established.

Songling is located at the intersection of Taihu Lake and Wusong River. At that time, it was Zeguo, and only the town station was higher than the surrounding ground, just like a hill with pine and cypress forests on it, so it was called Songling.

At that time, the town was a military town and the south gate of Wuxian, and its defensive position was important. Wuyue war, also called li ze, songjiang.

In the 15th year of Yuan Dynasty (1278), it was named Jiang Shang after Songjiang Prefecture.

Wusongjiang's word "Song" has a water radical.

Hou Liang Kaiping three years (909), Wujiang County is located near Suzhou Fucheng, so it is the county seat of Wujiang.

In the Song Dynasty, Songling Town was still "the city is not ten miles away, and the city is not crowded with thousands of people", but by the first year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty (1488), it was already "rich in people's livelihood, with people living in adjacent buildings inside and outside the city, full of fireworks and pavilions for the elderly".
