History of villages and towns

"Maoshui folk song" records: "there is a green line beside majiaqiao, and the old Dai lives in the west of Xindai. Daishang used to be a market, but now the village is full of trees." This poem makes clear the origin of Xindai, that is, after the old Dai was ravaged by Japanese pirates, it turned into ruins, and then developed into Xindai to the southeast. Therefore, there is a popular folk saying that "there are old dais first, and then there are new dais.". In the Yuan Dynasty, Xindai belonged to Huating township. In the Ming Dynasty, Xindai developed rapidly. There was a saying that "there are 18 towns in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a new town in Xindai; there are 18 towns in Dongxiang, there is less than a new town in Xindai".

There was a saying that "there are 18 towns in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a new town in Xindai; there are 18 towns in Dongxiang, there is less than a new town in Xindai". in Ming Dynasty, yuanhuiqiao (commonly known as baojiaqiao) was the center of Xindai town's market, which had developed commerce, noisy market and stable life. There is a poem that says, "fish, shrimp and vegetables compete on the shoulders, all day long, Yuanhui bridge is noisy, east city drinks tea, West City drinks wine, and visitors walk on the rainbow waist.". Baojiaqiao is the center of the development of the market town, and it develops all around. Because Xindai is a water town, there are many bridges and many boats.

According to the song of maoshui village, Xindai is "bordered by the golden mountains and rivers, and the Maohu lake is full of agriculture and mulberry. The irrigated fields have their own tides coming and going, and there are no worries about drought." In November 1935, Xindai district was reduced to one town and nine townships. In January 1946, Xindai district was reduced from one town and nine townships to one town and three townships.
