Historical evolution

Susong is one of the ancient civilization counties in Anhui Province. Susong means old Songzi. In the Tang, song, Ming and early Qing Dynasties, it was subordinate to Anqing area and Anqing city after several changes. Susong is an old revolutionary base area, and the people of Susong have made great contributions to all previous revolutionary struggles.

In the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the county now belongs to Yangzhou. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the system of enfeoffment was established, and a kingdom of vassals was set up. The county first belonged to Shu state, and then to Wan state. In the spring and Autumn period, the county first belonged to Chu and then to Wu. In the first year of the Yuan Dynasty (473 BC), Yue destroyed Wu and belonged to Yue. In the mid Warring States period, in the 35th year of Xianwang (334 BC), "Chu defeated Yue and collected Wu's hometown" (the eighth year of Daoguang's engraving of Susong County annals), the county was restored to Chu.

In the 26th year of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty (221 BC), China was unified by abolishing the system of enfeoffment and establishing the system of prefectures and counties. There were 36 prefectures (later increased to 40 prefectures) in China, and the county was located in Jiujiang county (now Shouxian County, Anhui Province).

In the Western Han Dynasty, the system of prefectures and counties and the system of enfeoffment were paralleled. When prefectures and counties were set up, several prefectures and counties were granted as kingdoms and Marquises. At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, Jiujiang county was changed into the kingdom of Huainan (its capital is Lu'an, Anhui Province, and yingbu is the king of Huainan).

In the fourth year of emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty (184 BC), Songzi Marquis state was set up, which was subordinate to Lujiang County. In the 16th year of Emperor Wen (164 BC), the county was built, and in the 5th year of the first year of emperor Ping, it was called Songzi county (Wang Mang once changed Songzi to chanting goodness).

In 184 BC, he was granted the Marquis state of Songzi, belonging to Lujiang County. In the 16th year of Emperor Wen (164 BC), the kingdom of Huainan was divided into Huainan, Hengshan and Lujiang, and the Marquis state of Songzi was changed into Songzi County, belonging to Hengshan. Soon after, Hengshan state was abandoned and changed to Lujiang County. In the first year (8 years), Wang Mang became emperor, and the name of the country was changed to Songzi county. "Zhang Hedan was banished to songziling by disobedience" (Han Shu), and moved the county to the present county site.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Songzi county has not been found in literature. The unified annals of the Qing Dynasty is called "the province of the later Han Dynasty".

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, Wu and Wei ruled Anhui Province from the north to the south. County in the Han Xiandi Jian'an 18 years (213) belong to Wei, 19 years belong to Wu, Wu changed Songzi, belong to Yangzhou Lujiang County.

In the Western Jin Dynasty, the system of Han Dynasty was inherited, and there were States, counties and counties. The membership of Songzi is unknown. In the second year of Xianhe (327), Emperor chengdi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Songzi county was set up. The war in the Eastern Jin Dynasty lasted for more than a hundred years, and the setting changed repeatedly. In the early years of emperor Cheng, Su Jun and Zu Yue rebelled against the Jin Dynasty, causing chaos in the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers. "Songzi was lost, and the people moved to seek Yang. It was also called Songzi when they established the county and ruled it" (the eighth year of Daoguang's engraving of Susong County annals). In 412 of emperor an's Yixi eighth year, songziqiao county was changed to songziqiao County, belonging to Xunyang county. ② "at the beginning, he ruled the refugees across the river, and then he also ruled the old Songzi area" (printed Susong County annals in the eighth year of Daoguang).

In the early Southern Dynasty, it was built in accordance with Jin Dynasty. From the Song Dynasty to the Southern Qi Dynasty, there is no historical record of Songzi county.

During the Liang and Chen dynasties, the county was Gaotang County in Jiangzhou, and Chen changed Gaotang to Gaotang. The Tianjian of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty was called Gaotang county at the beginning, and it was still Gaotang county from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. By the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Gaotang county was changed to qiaozhou, nanqiaozhou, Jiangzhou and Jinzhou (Jinzhou is located in Qianshan County).

After Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty unified the whole country, the three levels of state, county and county were changed into two levels of state and county. In the first year of kaihuang (583), Gaotang county was established by abolishing Gaotang county. In the 18th year of kaihuang (598), Gaotang county was changed to Susong County, which was called Susong County, and has been used up to now. Belongs to Xizhou (state governance in today's Qianshan County). The system of prefectures and counties was restored in the reign of emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. In the third year of Daye (607), Xizhou was changed into Tong'an county (the county government is still in the buried hill), and it still led Susong and other five counties.

In the Tang Dynasty, the county was first established, then the state and county were changed, and then the county and county were re established; and in the first year of Zhenguan (626), the county and state were set up to supervise the road, and then the road was changed to the festival. In the fourth year of Wude (621), Yan Prefecture was set up in Susong County (there is Yan Gongshan in the territory, and the prefecture is named after the mountain). Seven years led Wangjiang county. In eight years, Yan Prefecture was abolished and Susong County was restored, belonging to Tong'an county. In the ninth year of Wude, Tongan county was changed to donganzhou, and later to Shuzhou. In the first year of Zhenguan, there were ten prefectures and counties in China. Susong County was under the jurisdiction of Huainan daoshu Prefecture. In the first year of Tianbao (742), Shuzhou was changed into Tong'an county. In the second year of Zhide (757), Tong'an county was changed into Shengtang county. In the first year of Qianyuan (758), it was also named Shuzhou. It still belonged to Huainan road and led Susong County.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Susong County was still under the jurisdiction of Shuzhou, which successively belonged to Wu, Southern Tang and later Zhou.

Song is divided into Northern Song and Southern Song. The Northern Song Dynasty ended the division of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and first attacked the former system. Susong belonged to daoshuzhou, Huainan. Soon, in order to strengthen the centralization of power and reform the establishment of administrative regions, the Dao, Zhou and Xian in Tang Dynasty were changed into Lu, Fu (Zhou, Jun) and Xian. In the third year of Zhidao (997), 15 roads were set up in the whole country. Susong County still belongs to Shuzhou, and it belongs to Huainan road. Xining five years (1072), divided Huainan road for the East and West, Shuzhou Susong County Huainan Road West.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a confrontation between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. Susong County belongs to the Southern Song Dynasty. In the fifth year of Zhenghe (1115), Shuzhou was changed to Deqing army, in the seventeenth year of Shaoxing (1147), Anqing army was changed to Anqing army, and in the first year of Qingyuan (1195), Anqing army was changed to Fu, leading Susong County to the West Huainan road.

In Yuan Dynasty, there were provinces, roads, prefectures and counties. Susong County was located in Anqing Road, Henan Province. In 1276, Anqing government was changed to Anqing Road, and a pacification department was set up. In the next year, the Department of pacification was changed to the general manager's office, which belongs to the Department of Xuanwei in Qihuang county (where it is located in the south of Qichun County in Hubei Province). In the 23rd year, six counties including Qihuang Xuanwei division, Anqing road general office, Susong County, etc. were removed, and they went to Zhongshu Province in Jiangbei, Henan Province.

In the Ming Dynasty, the yuan system was first adopted. In 1361, Zhu Yuanzhang changed anqing road to Ningjiang Prefecture; in 1373, Zhu Yuanzhang changed anqing prefecture to Susong County. After the establishment of the capital, Tianfu (now Nanjing) reformed its administrative system and abolished its provinces. It set up 13 ministries and envoys throughout the country, which governed the prefecture, Zhili Prefecture, county or Sanzhou, and designated the area around the capital as the prefecture directly under the central government, known as nanzhili. Anhui is Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown, belonging to nanzhili, and Susong County belongs to Anqing Prefecture of nanzhili. In 1637, the governor of Anqing, Luzhou, Chizhou and Taiping was set up in nanzhili. Susong belongs to Anqing Prefecture, governor of Anlu.

In the Qing Dynasty, the system of Ming Dynasty was adopted at the beginning, and then the three-level administrative regions of province, prefecture and county were established. In addition, it is necessary to set up the road as the agency of the province to supervise the government (prefecture) and county. In the second year of Shunzhi reign (1645), nanzhili was changed into Jiangnan Province, which governed Anhui and Jiangsu. Susong County belongs to Anqing Prefecture of Jiangnan province. In 1645, the second year of the reign of emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, it officially belonged to Anqing mansion, the chief political officer of Jiangnan.

In the 18th year of Shunzhi, Jiangnan province was divided into the left and right ministers, and Susong County belonged to Anqing Prefecture. In the first year of Kangxi (1662), a governor of Anhui Province was set up in Anqing Prefecture; in the sixth year, it was changed from Jiangnan Zuo buzhengsi to Anhui buzhengsi, and Anhui Province was established. Susong County belongs to Anqing Prefecture of Anhui Province. In the Qing Dynasty, Susong County had many ways of subordination. In the late Qing Dynasty, the counties led by anqing government belonged to Anlu Chuhe road first, and then to Wannan road.

2、 Built in the period of the Republic of China

During the period of the Republic of China, there were many reforms. After abolishing the government and reserving the county, changing the state into a county, and setting up the county under the jurisdiction of the state, the state was removed and set up the District, and finally the county under the jurisdiction of the state was set up. In 1912, it was directly under Anhui Province. In 1913, Anqing government was abolished. In June 1914, three roads were set up in the province, and 16 counties including Susong belonged to Anqing road. In 1928, Anqing road was withdrawn and Susong County was directly under the provincial government.

In 1932, there were 10 counties in the province, with 60 counties under its jurisdiction. Susong and other five counties belong to the first district (Huaining County). In October of the same year, the first county system was abolished, and the administrative inspector system was implemented nationwide, with administrative inspector districts (also known as special districts, 10 districts in the whole province). Susong County is the first administrative supervision district of Anhui Province. In 1938, to adapt to the situation of the Anti Japanese War, Anhui Province set up two administrative offices in southern and Northern Anhui, with the Yangtze River as the boundary. Susong County is the first special district of Wanbei administrative office. In the 29th year of the Republic of China (1940), the administrative office of Northern Anhui was abolished. Susong County is the first special district of Anhui Province (the office of the Commissioner is located in Taihu County). On March 28, 1949, Susong County was liberated and a people's democratic government led by the Communist Party of China was established. Susong County People's government was subordinate to the people's Administrative Office of Northern Anhui (hereinafter referred to as Wanbei administrative office) established in April of the same year. From October 1932 to the founding of the people's Republic of China, it belonged to the first special zone.
