After the ancient city of Chaozhou fell into Chaohu Lake, the surviving people chose to live at the mouth of Jiyang River to live and multiply. Qiongyang town can be traced back to the Qin and Han Dynasties. According to historical records, it was built in the Chunxi period of the Southern Song Dynasty (1174-1189), with a history of nearly a thousand years.

Although it was formed earlier, it flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and formed a certain scale. During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, it was a prosperous period with a permanent population of nearly 5000. It was an important commercial distribution center in Xixiang of Chaoxian county at that time.

There are four streets and six alleys in the town, namely north-south Main Street, East Street, Qiaodong street, Nantou street, Chajia lane, Lijia lane, Liujia lane, Jinjia lane, Bajia lane, Luojia lane, Xujia lane, etc. the streets are paved with bluestone slabs, and the houses in the old streets are of brick and wood structure, with bluebrick and tile trough doors, front shops and back lanes. Most of the buildings are two-story pavilions. By the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, there were more than 300 shops in the town, such as shops in Beijing, Guangzhou, ZA, Shan and so on, workshops for weaving, milling, sugar, grains and so on, as well as bamboo and wood shops, teahouses and restaurants, lvzhan opera Garden, ancestral hall pawnshops, factory craftsmen shops and so on,

There are "zuyiyuan", "yitaihe", "Changchun Garden", "Qinghe garden" and a number of well-known time-honored shops, which are very popular. In the 29th year of the Republic of China (1940), Mr. Zhang Zhizhong went back to his hometown for the first time to visit his relatives. He held a five table banquet at letaoxuan restaurant in Jiyang town.

The two most famous dishes of Jiyang are big dish dried silk and pickled meat roll. Big dish dried silk is made of dried rice, thousand pieces and peanuts with Chinese toon and red pepper. Pickled meat roll is made of tofu skin and thousand pieces. After deep frying, it is eaten with a small dish dipped in vinegar, which makes people have endless aftertaste.

The traditional food in Jiyang town is fried lion's head, which is different from the usual lion's head. It is to press the dough into a pancake, cut it into sections with a knife, and then knead it into a roll by hand. After the roll is steamed and cooled, it is fried in warm oil. After it turns pale yellow, it is fried with slow fire. All the inside noodles are deep fried. It tastes delicious.

Jiyang's most famous food is "Yipin Yudai cake". It is based on glutinous rice, walnut kernel, green plum meat, preserved Osmanthus fragrans, kumquat, sugar, sesame oil as the main ingredients, refined with a unique "four inlays" method.

It is said that in the early Ming Dynasty, Yu Tonghai, an important founding minister and Chaohu native who was granted the title of "Yu Guogong" by Zhu Yuanzhang, returned home in fine clothes. He took a boat to Yuxikou and met Zhou Dashan, a young salt merchant with beautiful features and dignified demeanor. They had a good talk. When Yu Tonghai learned that Zhou Dashan was still unmarried, he betrothed his beloved daughter to him. Shortly after Yu Tonghai returned to his hometown and returned to Nanjing, his arrow wound recurred and he was dying. Zhu Yuanzhang went to see him and asked him if he had any unfulfilled wishes. Yu Tonghai said that only the little girl's life had not been done, so he had to ask the emperor to worry about it.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang granted Yu Tonghai's daughter as his adopted daughter, Chifeng as "Princess Jinhua", Chifeng as his adopted son, Chifeng as "Marquis of Dingguo", giving her surname Yu and changing her name to "Yu Dashan".

After Yu Tonghai's death, Zhu Yuanzhang personally arranged the marriage between "Princess Jinhua" and Yu Dashan. Shortly after his marriage, Yu Dashan took his wife "Princess Jinhua" to live in Jiyang West Township of Chaohu. Now there are thousands of people in Dayu village, Xiaoyu village and Yumao village, which is not to be said later.

Zhu Yuanzhang tasted the walnut cake made by Wang Hengmao's pastry shop. She was intoxicated by its color, aroma, taste and shape. Longyan was very happy. She ordered the governor of Anhui Province to make this cake as a tribute. Because of its shape, color and high grade, Zhu Yuanzhang was given the name of "Yipin jade belt cake" - jade belt cake Since then, "Yipin Yudai cake" has become famous all over the world, and has won the praise of "attracting visitors from outside the cloud and attracting immortals in the cave".
