Historical evolution

ancient

The inscription of the Song Dynasty, the inscription of Guansheng temple in baijuchang of Xinghua County, says: "in the third year of Tiansheng of the Song Dynasty, I knew the affairs of Xinghua County and wrote by Fan Zhongyan, a scholar of the ancient Wu Dynasty." it can be seen that baijuchang has been under the jurisdiction of Xinghua County (now Xinghua City) since its own historical records.

When Zhan Shilong, the magistrate of Xinghua County, arrived in the Yuan Dynasty, he learned from Fan Zhongyan because of the disrepair of fan Gongdi. He asked for the approval of the higher authorities to mobilize the civil servants to "build more than 300 li of Hanhai Weir" (Ming Jiajing's Xinghua county annals) to build the dam at Baiju farm.

In the 47th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the jurisdiction of Baiju farm and Liuzhuang farm was transferred from Xinghua County to Yancheng County, and soon from Yancheng county to Xinghua County. According to the first record of the unearthed cultural relic "shifengqiao land certificate", it is known that baijuchang still belongs to Xinghua County.

As for the Qing Dynasty, it is clear at a glance that Baiju farm is still under the jurisdiction of Xinghua after reading the four scenes map of Xinghua and the four scenes map of Dongtai county. "Baiju town annals" (page 4) also said: "in the first year of Qianlong (1736), Baiju farm was merged into Caonan farm, so the salt administration was under the jurisdiction of Taizhou Branch, and the local administration was still under the jurisdiction of Xinghua County.
