Historical evolution

During the reign of Zhiyuan (1321-1323), the counties of Longxi, Zhangpu and Longyan were located in nanshang County, and the county government established nanshang town of Pinghe County; in the third year of Zhiyuan (1337), they moved to Jiuxian village of Xiaoxi town; in the 16th year of Zhizheng (1356), they moved to Jingcheng Town of Nanjing County and renamed Nanjing County; in the 12th year of Zhengde of Ming Dynasty (1517), they were located in Pinghe County, belonging to Zhangzhou Prefecture and governing the river Toudayangpi (now Jiufeng Town, Pinghe county); moved to Xiaoxi in 1949 and peacefully liberated on September 17, 1949, it belongs to Longxi district (area) and Zhangzhou city.

After the liberation on September 17, 1949, the county temporarily adopted the original system of the Republic of China, and then set up six districts with jurisdiction over 18 townships (towns).

In 1950, the county was divided into 9 districts and 125 townships (towns).

In July 1951, a tenth district (Shikeng) was added to some townships in the sixth and second districts. In June 1952, the 11th district (Wenfeng) was added to some townships in the first district and the 12th district (Gaokeng) was added to some townships in the fourth district. The county has 12 districts and 132 townships (towns).

In October 1954, each district changed its name. In February of the next year, Changle district and Shikeng district were merged into Jiufeng district and Gaokeng District into Banzai district. The county has 9 districts, including shange, Xiazhai, nanshang, Banzi, anhou, Daxi, Jiufeng, Luxi and Wenfeng, with 162 townships (towns).

In the winter of 1956, Wenfeng was merged into shange and anhou into Daxi. The county has 7 districts and 110 townships (towns).

geographical environment

Location context

Pinghe county is located in the southwest of Zhangzhou City in the golden triangle of Southern Fujian Province, adjacent to Xiamen and Shantou special economic zones. The geographical coordinates are 24 ° 02 ′ - 24 ° 35 ′ N and 116 ° 54 ′ - 117 ° 31 ′ E. It governs 10 towns, 5 townships and 1 farm.

In 2012, the county covers an area of 2334 square kilometers, ranking first in Zhangzhou city. There are 2.6 million mu of mountainous area, 355000 mu of cultivated land and 2.68 million mu of forest land.

In Pinghe County, there are many mountains and clear waters. The forest coverage rate of the whole county is 69%. In 2011 alone, there were 194000 mu of afforestation and greening. The fruit area reached 900000 mu, with a total output of 900000 tons, ranking first in Fujian Province and sixth in China. Five of the six major rivers in Zhangzhou originate from Pinghe, which has won the reputation of "the source of five rivers" (Hanjiang, Zhangpu Nanxi, Lujiang, Yunxiao Zhangjiang, Zhaoan Dongxi).

geology

Pinghe county is located in the composite part of the East-West composite structural belt of Nanling mountains and the second composite uplift belt of Xinhua Xia system. After many times of crustal movement, the structural faults are complex. The more developed structural systems are meridional structure, Neocathaysian structure and torsion structure.

Meridional structure

They formed earlier and were mostly migrated and reformed by new structures in the later stage. Sporadic outcrops occur in the county, only in the northwest Luxi north-south compression and torsion fault zone.

Neocathaysian structure

They are: donghuai guizhuyang ne compression torsion fault zone, accompanied by Jiaohe Guanfeng NW tension torsion fault zone; Jiufeng tutian NNE fracture zone; Wenfeng Daxi NNE fracture zone (2 and 3 fracture zones are accompanied by tension torsion NW fracture); Xiaoxi Banzai NNE compound anticline.

Twist structure

It is mainly found in anhou broom like structure. From beiqianling to southwest, it passes Daxi and anhou, and then turns southeast to yunxiaomapu and jingjingping. It spreads anticlockwise, about 60 km long and 3-25 km wide, covering an area of 600 square kilometers.

In the whole county, the NNE and NE compressive and torsional structural planes of the Xinhua Xia system and the associated transverse northwest fault still play a leading role. The neotectonic movement strongly displays the alluvial and proluvial layers, which control the distribution and trend of Pinghe mountain range, the cutting of river valley, the development of river terraces and water system network, etc., which are basically consistent with the outline of the exposed structural system.

The geological structure in the territory is mainly fracture with slight fold. Only in the Jurassic Lishan formation between Xiaoxi and xiaofanshan, there are wide and gentle NE trending folds, which are not obvious in other areas. In a word, the geological structure in the county is a grid structure with NE trending faults as the main trunk and multiple groups of faults interwoven. There are mainly: Zhongteng Jiufeng NE fault; Xiaoxi Daxi NE fault; Luxi nanshang NW fault; Qiling anhou NW fault; tangkeng (Nanjing County) - Ivory N-S fault; fulishi longsandong N-S fault.

climate

The annual average temperature in Pinghe county is 17.5-21.3 degrees centigrade, 21-21.3 degrees centigrade in Xiaoxi, shange, Banzi, anhou and nanshang in the southeast, 20-21 degrees centigrade in Jiufeng and Guoqiang in the west, and 17.5-19 degrees centigrade in other western mountainous areas. Long rainy season, abundant rainfall, annual average 1600-2000 mm, annual average evaporation 1400 mm, medium sunshine and solar radiation time, annual average frost period of 41.3 days, small temperature difference in spring and autumn and winter, warm climate, long summer, but extremely hot and cold rare, suitable for all kinds of agricultural growth and industrial investment.

natural resources

There are many kinds of mineral resources in Pinghe County, including more than 10 kinds of gold, silver and copper. Among them, quartz, kaolin and granite are widely distributed, with large storage capacity and high grade, which are rare in the province. The theoretical water energy reserve is nearly 100000 kilowatts, with many rivers, wide drainage area, large bed gradient, fast runoff and high development value. There are 10 underground hot springs, with a daily water yield of 3000 cubic meters, which provides a reference for the development of freshwater aquaculture It provides favorable conditions.

population

As of 2018, the current population is 6
