History of construction

The origin of the name

Shilou is named after Tongtian mountain in the east of the county. According to Yuanhe county annals, the county is named after Shilou mountain in the southeast of the county.

Historical evolution

In the 11th year of emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty (196 BC), Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty granted Marquis Xuanyi as Marquis of Shangjun, and then Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty granted Yingke as Marquis of Shangjun.

In the ninth year of Taiping Zhenjun (448) of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Lingxi county was set up (the county government was still in Tuancheng), and it was also the government of tujing county.

Sui kaihuang eighteen years (598), began to change its name Shilou (county in the county), still in use today. In the second year of Wude of Tang Dynasty (619), the county was located in West Dezhou, with three counties of lingshilou, Changshou and Linhe. After West Dezhou was abandoned, Changshou and Linhe were merged into Shilou county. In 1612, Xizhou, Pingyang Prefecture, was transferred to Fenzhou Prefecture.

In 1912, the county belonged to Shanxi Province. During the Anti Japanese War, the county first belonged to the sixth political District, and then to the fourth Office of the Commissioner of administrative supervision. It was one of the few rear base counties in the Second World War.

On September 28, 1945, the people's Government of Shilou county was established in lijiazhai, which successively belonged to the fourth special office of Luliang, the ninth special office of Jinsui and the administrative office of southern Shanxi.

On October 1, 1949, it was transferred to Fenyang district.

In March 1951, it was transferred to Linfen special office.

In March 1971, it was transferred to Luliang area.

In 2003, it was a prefecture level Luliang City.

geographical environment

Location context

Shilou county is located at the West foot of Luliang and the East Bank of the Yellow River. It is adjacent to Jiaokou county with HuangYun mountain and Shilou mountain in the East, Xi county and Yonghe County in the south, Zhongyang County and Liulin County in the north, and Qingjian County in Shaanxi Province across the Yellow River in the west, with a total area of 1742 square kilometers.

topographic features

Shilou county is located on the East Bank of the middle reaches of the Yellow River, to the west of Luliang mountains, and belongs to a part of the Loess Plateau. The terrain is high in the East and low in the west, and the County mountains are continuous. The surface is covered with deep loess. Due to the erosion and erosion of water, the gully is crisscross and the terrain is broken. The whole territory can be divided into mountain area and hilly area. Shilou mountain in the East, formerly known as Tongtian mountain, is composed of many peaks with a north-south trend and a majestic posture. It was renamed Shilou mountain in the Tang Dynasty because the stones on the mountain were stacked like buildings. During the main peak period, Panshan is 2000 meters above sea level, the highest peak in the county. In the central and southern mountains, the main peaks are Shili mountain and tuanyuan mountain, with an altitude of more than 1400 meters. The western and northern parts and Chengguan area are all loess hilly areas, and the larger walls are xuejiayuan, caojiayuan, xishanyuan, etc., with an altitude of more than 1000 meters.

river system

The main rivers are quchan River, which originates from the West foot of Shilou and flows into the Yellow River from southeast to northwest, with tributaries all over the county. There are XiaoSuan River, yidie River and hehe River in the southeast and West.

climate

Shilou county has a warm temperate continental climate, with an average annual temperature of 9.2 ℃, January minus 7 ℃, July 22.7 ℃, annual rainfall of 550 mm, frost period from late September to late April of the next year, and frost free period of 180-190 days.

According to the data statistics of county meteorological station from 1957 to 1985, the annual average temperature is 9.2 ℃ (the highest year is 1961, 9.9 ℃; the lowest year is 1967 and 1976, 8.3 ℃). January is the coldest, with the daily average temperature of - 6.8 ℃, and the extreme minimum temperature of - 23.3 ℃ appeared on January 15, 1967; July is the hottest, with the daily average temperature of 22.5 ℃, and the extreme maximum temperature of 37 ℃ on June 21, 1966. Generally, the daily minimum temperature drops to 0 ℃ or below in early October and rises to above 0 ℃ in early April.

The results showed that the average daily temperature of the whole county was stable at ≥ 0 ℃; the first day was on March 9, the last day was on November 9, the last day was on November 9, the first day to the last day was 250 days, the accumulated temperature was 3850.7 ℃; the date stable at ≥ 5 ℃ was on March 29, the last day was on October 31, the first day to the last day was 216.5 days, the accumulated temperature was 3680.7 ℃; the date stable at ≥ 10 ℃ was on April 26, the last day was on October 10, the first day was on April 26 On September 13, 121 days from the beginning to the end, the accumulated temperature was 2535.9 ℃.

Due to the influence of the situation and topography, there are obvious temperature differences in the county. The trend of the isotherm is roughly the same as that of the contour line, and the temperature is very high from east to west. The annual average temperature of Shilou mountain in the East is 5 ° to 7 ° lower than that of the Yellow River beach in the West. According to the farming season, the temperature difference between the East and the west is almost one season.

natural resources

mineral resources

The work of Geology and mineral resources in Shilou county is very weak. According to the survey by the regional geological survey team of Shanxi Bureau of Geology and mineral resources, the mineral resources in Shilou County include coal, iron, limestone, refractory clay, bauxite, hypobentonite, silica, dolomite, gypsum, potassium, etc., and there are many clues to find aluminum, copper, phosphorus, cinnabar, gold, silver, magnetite, zirconium, titanium, uranium and rare earth elements.

Meishilou county is located in the middle section of Hedong Coalfield, and there are coal seams buried underground in the whole area. The coal bearing strata, Carboniferous system, strike nearly north-south and dip to the west, with the dip angle of 5 ° to 10 ° undulating and dip to the West. The coal seam in the west edge of the county has been buried under 1000 meters. The shallow coal mine in the eastern part of the county, which belongs to the southern section of Liulin Mining Area, is exposed in the piedmont of gaojiazhuang wangyinta Yangdao Yangpo line. It occurs in the Carboniferous Taiyuan Formation and Shanxi formation. The estimated reserves are about 250 million tons. The main minable coal seams are 9, 10, 11 and 2 coal seams of Taiyuan formation. The coal seams of 9, 10 and 11 in Taiyuan formation are very close to each other. The thickness of the coal seam is more than 4 meters. The coal quality is good and can be coking. The thickness of coal seam 2 of Shanxi formation is 1-2m, and the coal quality belongs to No.2 fat coking coal with good cohesiveness and low ash content. The eastern shallow coal mines are not suitable for large-scale mechanical mining because of their complicated burial conditions.

Bauxite occurs in the Benxi Formation of Carboniferous system, and is distributed in the foothills of bedrock in the county, that is, near the east of gaojiazhuang Maitan Yangpo line. Due to the cover of soil layer, the outcrop of ore bed is not much. The bauxite deposit is only found at about 500m in the 140 ° direction of maita village, dongshiyang Township, with an outcrop range of 20-30m and a thickness of 2-4m. According to the data of Maitan point, the ore body scale and ore quality have met the industrial requirements, but the ore grade is not high. It is estimated that the geological reserves are more than 14.4 million tons, which can be exploited but not yet developed.

Refractory clay occurs in Benxi Formation and Taiyuan Formation of lime system. It is distributed in the eastern bedrock piedmont zone, that is, the east side of gaojiazhuang Yangdao Yangpo line. The outcrop is located in a gully about 500-800 meters in the 95 ° direction of gaojiazhuang, dongshiyang township. The refractory clay deposits in this county are widely distributed, with many layers and abundant reserves (the exact number remains to be determined). The chemical composition basically meets the industrial requirements, but the iron content is slightly higher. It is one of the mineral resources with better development prospects in this county. Only sporadic mining.

Limestone occurs in Ordovician lower Majiagou formation, upper Majiagou Formation and Fengfeng formation, and the main ore beds are in the upper part of upper Majiagou Formation and Fengfeng formation. It is distributed in the east of Jieban Valley and along the southeast Jiuzhai highway, and its outcrop covers the vast area of bedrock mountain area in the east of the county. It is inexhaustible. There are many layers of ore body with large scale; there are many kinds of ore, with high quality ore accounting for a certain proportion; the mining conditions are good. It is an important mineral resource in Shilou county. There are sporadic mining in jiebangou.

The secondary bentonite (colored clay) occurs in the Triassic Tongchuan and ermaying formations. It is widely distributed in the area around tuanyuan mountain and the vast area in the West. It is rich in mineral resources. The grade of ores is not high, but there are many kinds of ores. All of them are potassium rich rocks with high absorption capacity and decolorizing power. They are widely used in industry, agriculture, materials and mines. Especially in the rural areas where the industry and mining industry are almost blank, the development and utilization value of secondary bentonite is significant and needs to be exploited.

Shanxi type iron deposits occur at the bottom of Benxi Formation of middle limestone system, and are distributed at the foot of Kuji mountain in the East, that is, to the east of gaojiazhuang and to the east of gaojiazhuang Yangpo. There is only one ore spot in gaojiazhuang with a thickness of 1.5m. The ore body is bedded and nest like. The ore is limonite of earthy, honeycomb and massive. There are sporadic mining.

Silica occurs in the bottom of Taiyuan Formation of limestone system and quartzite sandstone in the middle and lower part of Changcheng System. The outcrop is in the east of cangyan, Longjiao Township, near the watershed and in the Dongshan gully of gaojiazhuang. It has yet to be investigated.

Dolomite occurs in Fengshan formation of Upper Cambrian and zhizhili formation and Liangjia formation of Lower Ordovician
