Who can tell me the history of Huai 'an?

After Qin unified the six countries, the county system was implemented.

The first cities are Huaiyin (now Chuzhou District), Xuyi (now Xuyi County North) and Dongyang (now Maba County).

At the end of Qin Dynasty, the peasant uprising, Huai 'an people rose up and responded.

Han Xin, a famous strategist, drew his sword and joined the army at this time, making great achievements.

During the Western Han Dynasty, three cities were added: Huaipu (now west of Lianshui County), Sheyang (now southeast of Chuzhou District) and Fuling (now Hongze Lake).

During the Qin and Han dynasties, agricultural production conditions, especially irrigation conditions, were significantly improved.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chen Deng, the magistrate of Guangling, built Gaojiayan (now Hongze Lake levee) for 30 miles to curb the flood in Huaihe River, protect farmland and repair the irrigated farmland in Ketang.

Iron farm tools and Niu Geng have also been popularized, so agricultural production has made great progress despite repeated wars and defeats.

At the same time, traffic has also improved.

The Chidao built by Qin Shihuang passes through the territory, and the Hangou West Road built by Chen Deng makes the Jianghuai traffic more convenient.

Therefore, during the years of Chengping, China's handicraft industry and commerce were relatively prosperous, and its culture also developed to a higher level. In the Han Dynasty, family learning and private learning rose, and a number of literary masters emerged, such as Mei Cheng, father and son, and Chen Lin, one of the "seven sons of Jian 'an".

Wei, Jin, southern and northern dynasties

The city has long been at the forefront of war and confrontation.

Years of war have brought the tragic scene of "a thousand miles between the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River", and the economy and culture have been seriously damaged.

It is worth mentioning that in the seventh year of Yongming in the Southern Qi Dynasty (489), Huaiyin Town 100 households were located in Huai 'an County, and the name "Huai 'an" was first seen.

Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties

The territory has been in a stable environment for a long time, and its economy has been able to develop continuously and prosper again.

During this period, the excavation of the Grand Canal and the beach construction of Huaibei Salt Field played a great role in the prosperity of the city.

During the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, the Grand Canal, the main artery of imperial grain transportation from Luoyang to Yangzhou, was dug, and the territory became an important channel for water transportation.

From Sui Dynasty to the end of Qing Dynasty, the imperial court set up an official office in Huai 'an, and appointed officials to be responsible for and supervise grain transportation.

In the early Tang Dynasty, Lianshui became one of the four major saltworks in China.

In order to transport and sell Huai salt, the salt river was transported during the vertical arch year, and Huai salt was transported again.

Chuzhou (now Huaicheng Town, Chuzhou District) and Sizhou (now across Xuyi County) have become two famous cities along the canal. Among them, Chuzhou is praised by Bai Juyi as "the first state in the southeast of Huaishui" and "the first state in the southeast where Wu Jin took Chuke to travel more magnificent".

Song and Yuan Dynasties

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the territory was relatively peaceful, and water transportation and salt transportation further developed.

* * * Encourage Huaifu in Chuzhou Town, Huai 'an.

Reclaim, repair and build additional irrigation facilities, and introduce and popularize "Zhancheng Rice".

"Yellow, orange and purple crabs look at the rivers and seas, and Redmi white fish feed their children" is a vivid portrayal of this period.

During the confrontation between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, the market territory once again became the front line, suffering from the long-term poison of war and fire.

After a long war, the market was in a depression.

The frequent floods caused by the Yellow River seizing the Huaihe River have made the market worse and worse.

During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the domestic culture developed in Taiping, the government, state and county schools were established, and the number of educated people increased.

There are also many cultural celebrities, such as Zhang Lei, a famous poet and one of the "Four Bachelor of Su Men", Wei Pu, a famous blind astronomer who majored in Fengyuan Calendar, a famous painter who created freehand brushwork in Ming and Qing Dynasties, the author of Huajian Collection, a famous connoisseur of painting and calligraphy, a theorist Gong Kai and so on.

What is particularly worth mentioning is the inscription on the First Mountain of Xuyi in Song and Yuan Dynasties, among which there are many treasures of Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei, Cai Xiang and Zhao Mengfu.

Ming and Qing dynasties

Huai 'an Prefecture is in the territory, belonging to Shanyang County (now Huaicheng, Chuzhou).

During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Huai 'an (now Chuzhou) was revived by water transportation, and Qingjiangpu Town in the northwest also began to rise.

After the mid-Ming Dynasty, the Yellow River was flooded with disasters, and the floods in the territory became increasingly serious, and agriculture declined. The governor's office, which manages the national water transport, has become a land of plenty.

The scenery is gone.

Both the Ming and Qing dynasties appointed officials to govern the Huaihe River.

Huai 'an City (now Chuzhou) entered its heyday, seizing the opportunities of water transportation, salt transportation, river engineering, customs clearance and postal services, and being called "four big cities" together with Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou.

The prosperity of Huai 'an City has brought about the gathering of humanities.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were more than 200 scholars in Yang Shan (now Chuzhou) alone, and there were also champions, sub-champions and flower pickers in He Xia Town, leaving a story of "Three Ding Jia under the River".

There are also some famous people here, such as Wu Cheng'en, the author of The Journey to the West, Yan Ruoqu, a famous master of Confucian classics, Bian Shoumin, a flower and bird painter who is one of the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou", and Wu Jutong, the author of Treatise on Febrile Diseases, one of Four Great Classical Novels, a traditional Chinese medicine.

Republic of China period

With the revocation of Huai 'an Prefecture, most of the city boundaries belong to Huaiyang Road, and then to Huaiyin Administrative Supervision Area.

China's water, salt, river, monopoly and other interests have all been lost and further declined.

The long-term war has dealt a heavy blow to the emerging modern transportation, industry and mining.

China was founded in 1927.

During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, it became an important base and liberated area. * * * Central China Bureau, headquarters of the New Fourth Army, * * * Central China Branch, Central China Military Region, Jiangsu-Anhui Border Region, etc. He was stationed in China, and the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries and senior generals of the People's Army, such as Chen Yi, Huang Kecheng, Peng Xuefeng, Deng Zihui and Luo Binghui, fought here.

The people of Huai 'an have made great contributions to the independence and liberation of the Chinese nation.

1948 65438+February, the city was completely liberated.

1949 In May, Huaiyin Special Zone was established.

After the founding of

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people of Huai 'an have carried forward the revolutionary spirit and fine traditions of the people in the old areas, especially in the reform of Huai 'an.

After opening up, we have made great achievements in socialist revolution and construction by pioneering and innovating, and built poor Huai 'an into a new transportation hub and industrial city in Jiangsu, an important production and marketing base of agricultural and sideline products in China, and an important commercial port in the Jianghuai Plain.

After several adjustments, until 197 1 all belong to Huaiyin area.

1983 Huaiyin district was changed to Huaiyin city.

1987 Huai 'an and Suqian were changed to county-level cities.

1In August, 1996, four counties (cities) of Suqian, Siyang, Shuyang and Sihong broke away from Huaiyin City and established a prefecture-level Suqian City. At the same time, guannan county was assigned to Lianyungang.

In February, 20001year, Huaiyin City was renamed Huai 'an City, the original county-level Huai 'an City was changed to Chuzhou District of Huai 'an City, and the original Huaiyin County was changed to Huaiyin District of Huai 'an City.

200 1 Before the zoning adjustment, the prefecture-level Huai 'an City was originally named Huaiyin City, which governed Qinghe and Qingpu districts, Lianshui, Huaiyin, Hongze, Xuyi and Jinhu counties, and managed a county-level Huai 'an City.

In 200 1 year, the city * * * implemented the "Three-Huaihe Integration" strategy (namely, Huaiyin City at the original level, Huai 'an City at the original county level and Huai 'an County at the original county level), and made full use of the historical and cultural resources of Huai 'an City at the original county level (Note: Huai 'an City at the original county level is a famous historical and cultural city in China, the hometown of Premier Zhou Enlai, and has been a regional state, county and government for thousands of years).

In this way, "Sanhuai" will be integrated into a new prefecture-level Huai 'an city, which will govern Qinghe, Qingpu, Chuzhou and Huaiyin.

Huai' an, with a long history of more than 2,200 years, was once the place where South Ships and North Malaysia met, and it flourished during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Chuzhou (formerly county-level Huai 'an) under its jurisdiction, along with Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou along the canal, is also known as the "four big cities" and enjoys the reputation of "the magnificent first state in the southeast".

There are many talented people in Huai 'an history, especially Chuzhou, where the people of China and the founding Prime Minister Zhou Enlai were born. In addition, there are Han Xin, a strategist in the Han Dynasty, Mei Cheng, a heroine who resisted gold in the Southern Song Dynasty, Wu Cheng'en, the author of The Journey to the West, one of the "Four Great Classical Novels", Guan Tianpei, a national hero who resisted Britain in the Qing Dynasty, and Liu E, the author of Travel Notes of Lao Can, who also wrote travel notes during his long-term residence in Huai 'an Chuzhou.

Huaian is not only outstanding, but also has beautiful scenery. Along the Grand Canal and Hongze Lake, you can enjoy natural scenery and places of interest.

The First Mountain National Forest Park in Xuyi, the Ming Zuling and the beautiful scenery of rivers and lakes provide a broad space for the development of Huai 'an tourism in the new century.
