Because the surface of the ground is sunny, it belongs to Haiyang area. The Neolithic cultural relics and elk horn fossils unearthed from the territory fully show that thousands of years ago, this was the place where the ancestors lived and where the elk lived.

ancient

Qintong has a written history of more than 1000 years. In the early Han Dynasty, Haiyang was changed into Hailing County, belonging to Hailing county. In the first year of Shengyuan in the Southern Tang Dynasty, hailing county was upgraded to Taizhou, and Qintong belonged to Taizhou. Taizhou road was set up in 1277, the 14th year of the reign of emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty. In 1768, Dongtai county was established, and Qintong was assigned to Dongtai county. At the end of Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, it was called "Qinhu city".

Modern times

During the Republic of China, Qintong was under the jurisdiction of Dongtai county.

In 1943, Qintong was under the jurisdiction of the Xingdong administration of the CPC democratic regime.

In April 1945, the democratic regime was established in Qintong town of Xingdong county.

In October 1945, the office of Xingnan in Xingdong County of the democratic regime was set up in Qintong.

On May 19, 1949, the Party committee of Suzhong District of the Communist Party of China decided to abolish Qintong county. Qintong administrative region was transferred from Dongtai County in the former Kuomintang period to Tai county, which was called Qintong District of Tai county.

After the founding of the people's Republic of China, the jurisdiction of this administrative region changed several times. In May 1950, it belonged to Taizhou County, and in October 1950, it belonged to Qintong District of Taizhou county.

In July 1954, Taizhou in the middle of the Soviet Union signed a special office in Qintong, Tai county, and in September 1958, Qintong people's commune, Tai county.

In January 1959, it was subordinate to Qintong people's commune of Taizhou County, Yangzhou special office.

In June 1962, it was subordinate to Qintong Town, Tai county, Yangzhou district.

Qintong Town, Tai county, Yangzhou, 1971. In 1983, Qintong Town, Tai county, Yangzhou city was established.

Qintong town was merged in May 1986.

In December 1990, Qintong township was set up separately.

In November 1996, Yangtai city was divided into Qintong Town, Jiangyan District, Taizhou city.

In September 1999, the administrative division of Qintong town was adjusted and merged into Qintong town again.

In 2019, a new Qintong town will be established. The former Qintong town and Xingtai town are merged to form a new Qintong town. The town government is located in yuhuachi neighborhood committee, and its office address is 148 Yuqin Road (the former Qintong town office address). The administrative area of Qintong town is 75.52 square kilometers, with a population of 58500. It governs 18 village committees and 4 neighborhood committees.

In November 2020, Qintong town and Shengao town will be abolished, and the administrative areas under the jurisdiction of Qintong town and Shengao town will be merged to form a new Qintong town. The town government is located in yuhuachi neighborhood committee, and its office address is 148 Yuqin Road (the current office address of Qintong town government). The newly established Qintong town has 23 village committees and 5 neighborhood committees, with a total population of 81100 and an area of 117.89 square kilometers. The first reason for the change is to coordinate with the development plan of the 14th five year plan and the functional layout of "one core, two centers and three districts", promote the power expansion of strong towns, and make Qintong a "sub center" city. The second is to further integrate the eco-tourism resources, strengthen the construction of Qinhu eco economic zone function plate, cultivate and strengthen the characteristic tourism industry, and promote economic development. Third, the scale of Shengao town is relatively small, which belongs to the category of merging towns with less than 30000 people. The implementation of the change is conducive to deepening the grassroots governance, simplifying the administrative system, reducing the administrative operation cost, and enhancing the service function. The new town is named after "Qintong" mainly for the following reasons: Qintong has a long history and has been the central market town in the northern part of Jiangyan and the grain and oil distribution center in Lixiahe area since ancient times. The town is rich in tourism resources. It is a famous historical and cultural town in China. There are national 5A Qinhu tourist resort and 4A Qintong ancient town scenic spots in the town. The tourism industry is well-known in East China. At the same time, the town is also the key sub center of the city in our district, and the people in the surrounding areas have a high degree of recognition of the name "Qintong". At the same time, considering that Shen Gao town is a red place name named after the martyrs Shen Genyu and Gao Wensheng, the school and hospital named after Shen Gao will continue to be preserved after Shen Gao town is abolished, so as to better commemorate the revolutionary martyrs and inherit the red culture.

Economics

Economic History

In ancient Qintong, the farmers "worked without farming", and the rice produced was "like barley", the field was called "Luling field", and the rice was "Yu's surplus grain". During the Han and Tang Dynasties, "Hailing red millet" was abundant here, commonly known as "peach blossom rice". According to the records of Han Dynasty, "there is a warehouse of hailing in Wu Dynasty, which was built by Wang Bi of Wu Dynasty". There is still a site of "ancient Hailing warehouse" in the west of the town.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were abundant water and grass and sticky soil. People were engaged in fishing, weaving cattail, making bricks and knitting thread. The crops were planted by nature and harvested by people. In order to avoid military service, the people lived in seclusion here. According to the military annals of Jin Dynasty, more than ten thousand hidden households have been found here, and the system of "taking the hidden households as soldiers" has been established.

On the eve of liberation, Qintong had five bathrooms, more than 20 hotels, more than 10 hotels, more than 100 shops, more than 80 Lu Chenhang, more than 100 handicraft and natural industry workshops, and more than 500 employees. As the "peace army" built earth fences here, after more than half a century of abnormal prosperity, the economy began to decline.
