Jinxiang Town is now affiliated to Cangnan County, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province. According to the Records of Cangnan County, Cangnan is now the land of Dong Yue Ou people in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States period, it belonged to Yue State first and then to Chu State. The Qin Dynasty belongs to the middle of Fujian. From the Han Dynasty to Jinkang, it belongs to Fujian and Vietnam, the land under the jurisdiction of the East China Sea King, Huipu, Zhang 'an, Kangning, Luoyang, Anyang, Angu and other counties. After four years of Taikang (283), except for Angu and Yongjia, they all belonged to Pingyang County. Pingyang was originally named Shiyang and later Hengyang. Liang Ganhua was renamed Pingyang for four years (9 14).
In the 20th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1387), the city wall and Jinxiang Wei were built, which was an important coastal defense area in southern Zhejiang, and governed Pumen, Hadron and Shayuan. The name of Jinxiang Town was first found in Pingyang County Records written by Qin Long in Ming Dynasty (1567- 1572). In the eighteenth year of Qing Shunzhi (166 1), Jinxiang and other coastal residents moved inland for more than ten miles. In the ninth year of Kangxi (1670), the border of Jinxiang was restored and the residents moved back to the land. Xuantong was renamed Jinzhen Township in the third year (19 1 1). In the 21st year of the Republic of China (1932), it was called Jinxiang Town. Fourth area in 24 years (1935), Jiangnan in 27 years (1938) in June, Yishan in 29 years, Jiangnan in 36 years (1947) and Jinxiang in 1950. 1958 was called the administrative district in March, and was renamed the brigade in September of the same year, belonging to Jinxiang People's Commune. 1962 65438+ 10 changed its name to People's Commune, which belongs to Jinxiang District. 1February, 984, Jinxiang Town was established, governing six towns: Dayu, Shi Peng, Yanting, Huli, Old Town and Suburb. 1985 February belongs to Jinxiang District. 1February 1987 was a town directly under the county, with three offices in Huli, Old Town and Suburb. In 2005, it had jurisdiction over 4 offices, 6 1 administrative village in urban area, suburb, old city and lake. The total number of households in the town is 20022, with 73 105 people.
20 1 1 Yanting Town, Dayu Town and Shipeng Township were abolished, and their administrative areas were merged into Jinxiang Town. After adjustment, Jinxiang has jurisdiction over 7 residential areas and 79 administrative villages. The town government was originally located in Xu Ying Road, and later moved to wuli village for construction reasons.
Jinxiang is near the sea. In ancient times, it was an ocean Later, as the coastline moved outward, it surfaced one by one. Ling Ying (now Lion Mountain) first surfaced. In the seventeenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1384), when the city was built, an inscription "Ojihara came from the sea" was discovered, which also accurately and artistically revealed the vicissitudes of nature.
Jinxiang was called Yingzhou in ancient times, and Yingzhou belonged to "Hewlett-Packard Land" in the "Yuheng Shipyard" where Zhou Yu trained the navy in the Three Kingdoms period. Xiaojin Township floated in the late Tang Dynasty. 250 years later, Emperor Zhao of the Southern Song Dynasty established Yan for three years (1 129), and established a township under Pingyang County. As for why it is called Zhou Jin Township, some people say that when Zhou Jin Township floated from the sea, there were shipwrecks and gold and silver jewelry; Some people think that this is because there are Golden Mountain and Fuchuan Mountain in the south of Zhou Jin Town, which are named after each other. From the rise and fall of Yongquan Temple, the stone horses, the funerary objects of stone and the cliff carvings in Meiling, we can see that merchants gradually gathered and prospered from the late Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty. Jinxiang area belonged to "Luoyang County" during the Three Kingdoms period. In the 20th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1894), villagers in Jingtou Village, Yunyan Township discovered the "Tomb of Zhu Man's Wife", which was made of stone and engraved with words. "Deed" is the old saying of "contract" and "contract", and it is also the title deed for Juman to buy land to bury his dead wife. Zhu Man was a captain and spent four years in Jinxiankang (294). It can be inferred that he is stationed near Whale Head Ben. Whale head is only more than 30 miles away from Jinxiang, which shows that this area has been inhabited since the Jin Dynasty. In addition, the investigation in1June 1997 found that there was an ancient stone shed tomb in Tongqiao Village, Qianku Town. Stone shed tombs, also known as stone tombs, generally appeared in the late Neolithic period to the early Iron Age. This proves that as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, ancestors lived and multiplied in the south of the Yangtze River, and traced the history of the surrounding areas of Jinxiang back to the ancient Millennium. As for Jinxiang City now, there is no text to prove whether it has been hit by the sea or submerged from time to time.
In the second year of Zhenguan in Chen Houzhu (587-589), Jin Ao Temple was built in Lingfeng, the northern suburb of Jinxiang, which was the earliest temple with written examination in Jinxiang. According to the county records in the Qianlong period, Lingyun Temple (commonly known as East Temple) was built in Lingfeng in the Xiantong period of Tang Dynasty (860-874). Yongquan Temple and Siguping Temple in Mei Feng, Jinxiang, which were built in the second year of Yuanfeng in the Northern Song Dynasty (1079), are said to have enjoyed the heyday of "a thousand monks and 800 nuns" in history, but they were destroyed during the reign of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty. Recently, it was rebuilt to protect historical relics. When the ancient tombs were moved, charred bones were found, which can be used as physical evidence of "burning in one fell swoop". It can be seen that some high-lying areas around Jinxiang were inhabited in Shang Dynasty, Zhouzhi Jin Dynasty, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was also quite prosperous. The stone carving of Ma Xianggong Cliff on the ancient road in Mei Feng proved conclusively that many businessmen passed by at that time.
The Northern Song Dynasty set up townships and capitals below the county level. From the end of the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhou Jin Township has been discovered and belongs to Pingyang County, which is the origin of the name "Jinxiang". As for why it is called "Zhou Jin Township", it is said that when Jinxiang area floated from the sea, there were sunken ships with gold and silver jewelry; It is also speculated that there are Gold Mountain and Fuchuan Mountain in the south of "Zhou Jin Township", each named after a word.
In the 20th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1387), Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of Ming Dynasty, ordered lord protector Tanghe to build a city in Zhou Jin Township and renamed it Jinxiang Wei. In the eighteenth year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (166 1), the imperial court implemented the policy of "forbidding the sea from moving to the border", and the residents in Pumen area of Jinxiang moved ten miles inward, and all the coastal houses outside the border were burned down, and all the residents moved from the border to the border. Where they were moved, there was sadness everywhere, and the benefits of fishing and salt were lost. In the ninth year of Kangxi (1670), the imperial court ordered "exhibition boundary" to restore Jinxiang and other places, and called Jinxiang Wei "Jinxiang Village". Later, during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, li geng's "Golden City Map" came into being. It can be seen that in the Qing Dynasty, there was no such name as "Golden Township".
During the Republic of China, the title of "Land of Gold" remained basically unchanged until the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC). 198 1 year, "Pingyang County" was divided into counties, and "Cangnan County" was newly built, and Jinxiang Town was subordinate to "Cangnan County".
There are many fishing ports in Jinxiang from north to east and from south to west, such as Baba, Yanting, Shibang, Dayu and Xiaoyu. Eel fry, prawn, mud carp, salamander, yellow croaker and swimming crab are all available, and even the most precious yellow-lipped fish (commonly known as Huang Gan) sometimes appears in the vegetable market (now it is extremely rare). There are also fresh and delicious seafood such as razor clam, clam, jumping fish, rock milk and yellow snail. "Earth jumps over fish to cook dried vegetables" and "clear water slugs climb the vegetable basket" are the true portrayal of rich seafood.
Jinxiang is an anti-Japanese city with a long history. Although the climax of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression began in Jiajing period in the middle of Ming Dynasty, the representative figure was Qi Jiguang. The prologue was in the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty, and the representative figure was Tanghe. Tanghe was earlier than Qi Jiguang 160 years ago.
War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is a long-term war that has gone through centuries, and it is an important event that cannot be ignored in the history of our country.
From14th century to17th century, the samurai who lost in the Japanese melee became pirates. With the support of some feudal lords and temple landlords, they colluded with local tyrants, hooligans and pirates in China and smuggled and plundered frequently, which became a great scourge to the coastal people in China.
According to historical records, there were records of Japanese invaders as early as the early Ming Dynasty, especially in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Among them, in the three or four years after Jiajing thirty-one, hundreds of thousands of Jiangsu and Zhejiang soldiers and civilians were killed. The coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian were the hardest hit, affecting Shandong and Guangdong.
Faced with the invasion of the Japanese pirates, the coastal soldiers and civilians rose up against the Japanese pirates and staged a series of shocking tragic dramas, which finally won the final victory.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the upper levels of the imperial court had two completely different attitudes towards foreign invasion. One is to resolutely resist out of national justice, such as Tanghe. The other is an attempt to use external hostile forces to serve their own self-interest and political conspiracy, such as the then left prime minister Hu Jintao. Hu's shameful behavior of inviting wolves into the room highlights the integrity of Tanghe.
Guo Xin Court and Jinxiang Acropolis designed and supervised have two characteristics: first, military defense; Second, according to Liu Jiji's layout of the Forbidden City in Nanjing, "Bagua Gankun".
Zhu Hongwu's ethnic policy after the founding of the People's Republic of China is a nine-character strategic national policy put forward by Zhu Sheng, which is the historical background of Zhu Yuanzhang ordering Tanghe to "station troops along the coast" and set up 59 troops along the coast of Zhejiang. The layout of the Forbidden City in Nanjing is exactly the same as that of Jinxiang, which is Liu Ji's Bagua City. There are "Xuanwu Gate" and "Xuanwu Lake" in Nanjing, that is, "Qinglong, Suzaku, White Tiger and Xuanwu" in the eight diagrams are adopted as the naming method of the city gate.
Therefore, the "Digging River" in Jinxiang has been transformed into a pool for many years. Xia Shouan, a teacher of Jinxiang Middle School, named it "Kanchi", which also took the meaning of "staying in the south and staying in the north" in the gossip, and also implied the meaning of fire fighting, and also followed the purpose that Jinxiang is the city of gossip.
Jinxiang, an ancient town, has a history of more than 600 years since it was founded in the twentieth year of Hongwu (1387). After the chaos of the times, the Acropolis once became a wild place when it moved ten miles to the border during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. After Kangxi, the "exhibition boundary" was rebuilt and the main building was gradually restored.
In the seventeenth year of Hongwu (1384), Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, ordered lord protector Tanghe to build a city in Zhou Jin Township and renamed it Jinxiang Wei. Jin Xiangwei was in charge of all land and water villages in Pingyang County in the Ming Dynasty, reaching Pumen and Qianhu. North to Shayuan (now Ruian), Ningcun (now Ouhai) and Haian (now Yueqing).
Jin Xiang Wei * * * has eleven villages and fifteen fields.
1 1 villages are: Miaohou Village, Yumen Village, Ba 'ao Village, Da 'ao Village, Yanting Village, Dazhong Village, Xiaoren Village, Shitang Village, Shiping Village, Dayu Village and Xiaoyu Village.
15. Bantang, Jianshan, Leitian, Maji, Fenghuang, Hericium erinaceus, Shangyang, Biwan, Donggang and Lingmen.
There are many piers below. For example, the existing ancient Yandun Mountain Yandun is located at the top of the pier in Xiao 'ao Village, Dayu Town, with an altitude of about 250 meters, which is an alarm facility to resist the Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty. It covers an area of 100 square meter and is about 7 meters high, which is quite spectacular. Now it is basically intact, and it is a precious object of the anti-Japanese struggle in the Ming Dynasty. 1988 was listed as the second batch of cultural relics protection units in Cangnan county.
The circumference of the Wei city wall in Jinxiang is 9 miles and 30 steps, with a total length of 1.420 feet, a wall height of 1.9 feet, a toe thickness of 2 feet, a mouth of 1.650 mouths and 43 nests. There are four gates, East Gate and Xu Yingmen. South, Jinghai Gate; West, come to cool the door; North, Wangjing Gate. Build a tower. There used to be four sluices, but now there are two left. The urban structure is made of irregular strips, and loess and gravel are rammed inside. Due to historical changes, only part of the city base, north gate, west gate, south gate, west gate and Kuixing Pavilion above the west gate are preserved. There is a complete moat 30-50 meters wide outside the city wall. The river in the city communicates with the moat through the water gate. There is a suspension bridge on the moat.
In front of the Wei Hall of the Acropolis, there are two big warehouse and a small warehouse in Guangji, occupying more than 20 rooms, which are used to collect and pay the grain provided by Wei. On Weishan (Lion Mountain), Weiting has a watchtower overlooking the coastal defense and close to the warehouse. There is also a land temple in front of the warehouse and behind it, which means that the land god will bless the warehousing event and be safe and sound.
It has a history of hundreds of years from Zhou Jin Township to Jinxiang Jianwei. The city has been built for more than 600 years. Crossing the border for ten miles, "the gains and losses of fishing and salt" have played a great destructive role in economic development. After nine years of "exhibition" in Kangxi, Jinxiang people gradually resumed their livelihood, mainly engaged in agriculture, commerce, handicrafts and fisheries.
In agriculture, in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, natural disasters, or heavy rains, or flooding, people's struggle with nature focused on building dikes and steep doors.
In the eighth year of Xiaochunxi in the Southern Song Dynasty (11), Lin, the 22nd capital of the township, presided over the construction of the "Wuyu Steep Gate", which was the earliest steep gate with lofty aspirations and was located at the foot of Wuyu Mountain in the northeast of Lingfeng and south of Maanshan. Moreover, there is an inscription on the rocks of Wu Yushan: "The change of the valley, the change of the sea; People return to the sky with their wisdom. It's a deep pool, definitely Sichuan; Zerun Simin, in the Year of Swan. " Twenty-seven years later, the county magistrate and Lin Juya, the son of Lin, built the famous steep gate, which had far-reaching influence. To commemorate them, the local people built a "Yinyun Temple" and erected a statue of Wang Jiliang as a sacrifice.
Lin Juya inherited his father's footsteps, sacrificed himself to build dikes to prevent salt tide and waterlogging, and created good farming conditions; It laid the foundation for the agricultural development in Jiangnan.
In the history of more than 600 years after the completion of the city wall, Jinxiang has long been a town based on agriculture and a "merchant of workers, peasants and soldiers". The farmers in the city are all around the city, but because there are many people and few land, many residents in the city are engaged in other industries besides farming.
