The Cangjiang river flows eastward. The shape of the County wins, and the river flows in a hundred twists and turns down from the city, meandering eastward, hence the name. In ancient times, the city was located in the upper reaches of the city, the South was on the top of the river, the West was on the west side, the West was on the river, the former was on the great river, the latter was on the Grand Ridge, the Peng Li Hui left its left side, the Jinling lying its right, the heavy lake lying on the ridge, the Zhou Island circling the ring, along the river up and down 200, the river surging and turbulent, swallowing the air, surging around, the hills and the hills, and the hills rolling and rolling, extending hundreds of miles, and the Mt. Dang, 70 miles away from the southwest of the county, * It's very dangerous. The county is governed by the Yangtze River in the west, lianhuazhou and Wangjiang in the west, Huaining and Anqing in the northwest, Jiande and Guichi in the northeast and East and West, and Pengze in the mountains and lakes. The six counties under Chizhou's jurisdiction are Tongling, Guichi and Dongliu. Dongliu is located in the upper reaches of the river. It is the only way for people to travel between Wu and Chu. Although the city is not built, it is the gateway to the South and Jianghan.

Dongliu has a long history. The history of Jianxian county can be traced back to 1500 years ago. In the past, during the period of Liang and Chen in the Southern Dynasties, when the northerners moved southward, Hecheng county was set up in Dongliu, and Jinyang county was set up in Zhangxi. The two counties stood side by side. After 89 years, the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, abolished Hecheng County, entered Pengze County, and then set up dongliuchang. In 364 years, the Southern Tang Dynasty rose to Dongliu County in the Five Dynasties With the merger of Zhide County, the county became an important riverside town in Dongzhi County.

In ancient times, Dongliu was the key to the Yangtze River, where there were many affairs in the lower reaches of the river. According to county records, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, there have been countless wars and plunders. During the Three Kingdoms period, the two families fought for Anhui and Xiakou, the king of Jin'an fought for quezhou, the king of Chen Baxian at the end of Liang Dynasty fought for Gu who, Huang Chao fell into Chizhou at the end of Tang Dynasty, Cao Han in Song Dynasty fought for Tongling, Zhang Yu and Cui Tan in Southern Song Dynasty fought for Chizhou, Yue Fei rescued Luzhou from Ezhou, Zhang Shun assisted anqing with jing'e soldiers, and Yuan Boyan went down from Jiangzhou to Anqing. In the early Ming Dynasty, Hong Wu fought for Chizhou repeatedly with Xu Shouhui and Chen Youliang In the 16th year of Chongzhen, Zuo Liangyu led his troops to the east to destroy the county. During the Xianfeng Period, the Taiping Army and the Qing army fought for the territory of the city, and Zeng Guofan's camp was set up in the East.

For thousands of years, in this land of eventful times, it has left the traces of emperors and generals, the marks of political dignitaries, the virtues and policies of honest and upright officials, the heroic deeds of national heroes, the feelings of celebrities, the singing of literati and poets, the traces of famous monks, the creation of common people, the pride of pioneers of revolution, the footprints of people from all walks of life, and many ordinary people who do not see scriptures It constitutes a colorful picture of a gathering of talents. According to the records of the world, Dongliu was "the hometown of Huangju in Pengze County". Tao Yuanming was appointed as Peng Zeling. In his spare time of official business, he picked chrysanthemums and flowed to the East, chanting the famous sentence "picking chrysanthemums under the East, seeing Nanshan leisurely". Xiao Tong, the prince of the Liang Dynasty, traveled to the East and set up a biography for Tao Yuanming. Yan Zhenqing of the Tang Dynasty, Lu You of the Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan, Zhu Xi, Xin Qiji, Mei Yaochen, Huang Tingjian, Yang Wanli of the Song Dynasty, JieXi of the Yuan Dynasty, Kong Zhenyun of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng sanjun, Yu Qian of the Ming Dynasty and other important court officials and scholars all visited Dongliu, leaving countless poems.

The land of Dongliu is barren and the folk customs are mellow and simple. Dongliu County, the old no City Heng. In the first year of Wanli reign of emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty (1573 AD), Chen Chunxiang, the magistrate of the county, was built by the people. The city was built by the river. It was weak in the East and West, and strong in the north and south. It was 736 Zhang in circumference, 1.4 Zhang in height, 1.5 Zhang in the lower part of the wall, and 1.3 Zhang in the upper part of the wall.

The whole city is divided into three sections: Shuicheng, Shancheng and Pingcheng. The length of Shuicheng is 274 Zhang, that of Shancheng is 256 Zhang, and that of Pingcheng is 210 Zhang. There are five gates in the city. Each gate has its own Qiao Lou. It is called "Yingchun" in the East, "Lishan" in the south, "Tongjin" in the southwest, "Jujiang" in the west, "Zhanji" in the north.

During the reign of Chongzhen, county magistrate Xu maoshen raised the city altar to 3 feet. County magistrate Zhang Yunhui dredged HaoGou because he built the Earth City on the periphery. Later, many people fell and drowned because of the inconvenience of the residents in the city. The ditch was abandoned. In the third year of the reign of emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, Deng Jiqiu, the county magistrate, rebuilt on the former site.

Today, all the city walls were destroyed during the Anti Japanese war. Only the relics can be traced back to reverie. Tao Yuanming left precious footprints and legends when he went east to collect chrysanthemums. In memory of this virtuous county magistrate and pastoral poet, Yang Jifang, a county magistrate and Jinshi of Ming Dynasty, built his ancestral hall in the county school palace. Later, Mao Yingkui, a doctor of the Ministry of industry, wrote 6000 pieces of tiles and stones, and built a new taojingjie ancestral hall and Jujiang Pavilion, terrace and garden, which attracted countless literati and poets to pay homage to him, recite poems and Fu, and praise Tao Gong's noble demeanour . In this way, the east stream has become a place for poets for thousands of years and a backyard for scholars.

There are many lakes and hills in the Dongliu area, but the small water is poor. It rises and soaks the crops. It rains suddenly in the Pinglu area, and the vast ocean overflows into a huge gully. Therefore, it is better to protect the edge of the river, the edge of the mountain, the edge of the pond, the edge of the lake, the edge of the ditch and the ridge. According to the county annals, during the reign of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, Jiang Jun, a county official, worked for three years. After in-depth investigation, he found that the masses were willing to cooperate with each other, all kinds of wastes were flourishing, the rivers and canals were well managed, and the politics and lawsuits were smooth, which won the support of the people. Dongliu twin towers were donated by local celebrities in Dongliu to build "peilou Beifu, Xingjia Jianyan" and "supplement Wenshu, more elegant". The simple and elegant old street is the product of Huizhou merchants gathering and prosperous business.

Along the street, officials and people live together. There are many shops. There are a lot of coachmen, horse dealers, brokers, and tea merchants. Vegetable farmers, fishermen, butchers, and vendors are hawking. Merchant ships dock at Riverside docks. Porters go up and down, sweating and busy. According to experts' appraisal, on the well preserved 460 meter street, most of the ancient dwellings were built in the late Qing Dynasty, and there are very few buildings in the Ming Dynasty, among which the Zhujia house has been built for more than 400 years. The well preserved, old and distinctive ancient buildings include Wang's, Jin's, Gao's, an's, Li's, Bao's, Yang's and Zhou's big houses. In 1989, it was designated as a provincial historical and cultural reserve by the provincial government.

In ancient times, there were "eight sceneries" around Dongliu: Lishan Yize, Taojing Yuxiang, Bailu qitrace, Jinji Gushi, Xianhu Jiaoyue, Songlin Qingyin, lotus spring, Huangshi Xiongfeng. Lishan Yize refers to Lishan 10 Li East of the county, Taojing Yuxiang refers to Taogong temple, Jutai, jupu in Zhixi, Bailu qitrace refers to Gehong alchemy, the legend of crossing deer to heaven in Gegong mountain, Jinji ancient stone refers to Jinji stone and Luo Yin's poems in Huangni lake, Xianhu Jiaoyue refers to the Legend of seven immortals in Qili lake and Dadan in Lake, and Songlin Qingyin refers to the legend In the Ming Dynasty, Yan Gong advocated planting 30 Li from the east of the county to Changan Shiqiao and other pavilions, Changsong. The color of lotus in spring refers to the lotus state in the middle of the river, and the style of Huangshi refers to the scenery and legend of huangshiji. There are also the shadow of fish leaping and cranes in Shengjin Lake, the picture screen of Huilong mountain, the internal and external control of Yaohe sluice, and the view of the morning and sunset on the Yangtze River from LiuDi. If you climb the twin towers and overlook the new town, you can see that the ancients have made contributions to Dongliu, while the modern people have made it more beautiful. I like to see industrial area, residential area, commercial and cultural street, Textile City, crisscross and harmonious construction. Chrysanthemum festival opens a new generation, and Yuanming spirit will last forever.

Dongliu is no longer the old town that used to "play board in the hall and hear it all around". Now it has emerged from the standard terms and become a famous riverside town with broad humanistic spirit and profound historical culture.

The main culture of Dongliu ancient culture area is Huizhou culture, followed by Wanjiang culture. The culture in the area is extensive, profound, and has the characteristics of overall series. It deeply reveals the mystery of Oriental society and culture, and contains the basic contents of folk economy, society, life and culture in the late feudal society of China. It is known as a typical model of the late feudal society of China. The academic research on it has gone through at least half a century.
