Historical evolution

Tongren has a long history, which can be traced back to the Neolithic age.

In the Qin Dynasty, it was the hinterland of Qianzhong county.

In the Han Dynasty, it was transferred to Wuling County, and in the Shu Han Dynasty, there was a county government.

In the Tang Dynasty, Wan'an county was set up, and then Changfeng County was changed, belonging to Sizhou, Jinzhou and Qianzhou.

At the end of Song Dynasty and the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, there were two Xuanwei departments, namely, Sizhou and Sinan.

Tongren was formerly known as the bronze man. It is said that in the Yuan Dynasty, a fisherman dived into the bottom of the river at Tongyan and won three bronze statues. In the Yuan Dynasty, there was a "lawsuit against the military and civilian officers of the barbarians of Tongren and Xiaojiang". It belongs to Sinan Xuanwei department. In the 11th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the xuanweisi of Sizhou and Sinan were withdrawn, and now Tongren, Sinan, Shiqian and Wuluo were set up, all of which were subordinate to the Guizhou political secretary. In the third year of Ming Dynasty (1438), Wuluo Prefecture was abolished and most of it was incorporated into Tongren Prefecture. Tongren got its name from this.

There was no change in the establishment of Tongren in Qing Dynasty.

In the first year of the Republic of China (1912), Tongren County (now Jiangkou county) was removed and incorporated into Tongren Prefecture (now Tongren City). In the second year of the Republic of China (1913), Tongren Prefecture was changed to Tongren County (now Tongren City); meanwhile, Sinan Prefecture was changed to Sinan County, Shiqian prefecture to Shiqian County, and Songtao Zhili hall to Songtao county. In addition, the original Tongren County (now Jiangkou county) was renamed Jiangkou County, Anhua County was renamed Dejiang County, and Yanhe County was set up by the former Sinan Prefecture Yanhe Youxi Limu, and Shengxi county was set up by the former Tongren Prefecture provincial Ximu (now Wanshan Special Zone). Yuping county and Yinjiang county will remain unchanged. In the third year of the Republic of China (1914), zhengdaying sub county was set up in the former zhengdaying County of Tongren County, which was under the jurisdiction of Songtao County; 48xi sub county (now ganlongkou) was set up in the former 48xi sub County, which was under the jurisdiction of songtiao county. In June 1935, with the approval of Xingying, chairman of the Military Commission of the national government, 11 administrative supervision areas were established in Guizhou Province. Among them, the Sixth District Commissioner's office is located in Sinan, which governs Sinan, Dejiang, Yinjiang, Yanhe, Shiqian and other counties; the Fifth District Commissioner's office is located in Tongren, which governs Tongren, Jiangkou, songtiao, Yuping, Shengxi and other counties. In January 1936, zhengdaying county was merged into Tongren County, and ganlongkou County into Songtao county.

In 1941, Shengxi county was withdrawn and its jurisdiction was merged into Tongren and Yuping counties respectively; sahouping county was merged into Yanhe and Wuchuan counties respectively.

geographical environment

Location context

Tongren City is located in the northeast of Guizhou Province. The geographical coordinates are 107'45 '- 109'39'e and 27'07' - 29'n. 05 '. It is adjacent to Hunan Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture and Huaihua in the East, Zunyi in the west, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture in the South and Fuling District in Chongqing in the north. It spans 106 km from east to west and 210 km from north to south. The distribution of mountains, cultivated land and rivers is generally "eight mountains, one water and one farmland".

The total area is 18003 square kilometers.

topographic features

Tongren City is located in the slope of Yunnan Guizhou Plateau to the hills of Western Hunan, which is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. On the original mountain surface far away from the valley, there are many karst, hills and depressions, and the ground undulation is not too big. The whole area is dominated by mountains, accounting for 67.8% of the total area of the region, followed by hills, accounting for 28.3%, and Bazi and other landforms account for only 3.9%. Wuling Mountain, with Fanjing Mountain as the main peak, has become the watershed between the East and the west of Tongren City. The highest altitude of the city is 2572 meters, and the lowest altitude is 205 meters.

The geological structure of Tongren City belongs to the southern margin of Yangtze paraplatform, and the secondary structural unit can be divided into Jiangnan uplift and upper Yangtze fold belt from east to west. The Jiangnan uplift can be divided into two secondary structural units: tongshitai sag and Fanjing uplift. The exposed strata are mainly Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian and Permian strata, followed by Sinian, Triassic and Paleogene strata. Located in the eastern slope of Yunnan Guizhou Plateau, Sichuan Basin and hills in Western Hunan, Wuling mountains run through the middle of the area. The uplift of the dome structure with Fanjing Mountain as the center makes Wuling mountains (including 2572m, 1523m and 1869m of Fanjing Mountain, Laoling mountain and Fuding mountain) become the watershed between the East and the west of Tongren area, In the west, there is Wujiang River system flowing into the Yangtze River Basin. The landform of the river valley is karst mountain plain. The valley is embedded into the mountain plain in the form of canyon. The relative elevation difference can reach 600-800m. On the mountain plain far away from the valley, karst hills and depressions are widely distributed, and the ground undulation is not big. Generally, the relative elevation difference is 200-300m There is a great difference between potential and height, obvious vertical differentiation, thin topsoil, more mountains and less land, and fragile ecology.

climate

The terrain of Tongren City is complex, and the three-dimensional distribution of climate is obvious. Most areas belong to the subtropical monsoon humid climate zone.
