Historical evolution

The origin of Zhang an

In ancient times, Zhang'an had a mild climate, surrounded by mountains and sea, and alternate valleys. It was the hinterland of plains and hills, and most of the territory was sea alluvial plain. In the long process of evolution into land, it was in a state of continuous siltation, and in the Shang Dynasty, it was in a lake swamp. From the spring and Autumn period to the Warring States period, a large area of soil and lakes appeared in the hilly area and the front of the foothills. In the Neolithic age, 4000-5000 years ago, primitive Shanyue aborigines began to inhabit and move in the foothills of this area. They lived in hilly areas and engaged in primitive farming, gathering and fishing. In the 1970s, stone chisels, stone sickles and pottery spinning wheels were unearthed from zhang'aoling, Huayuan village, Zhang'an; in the 1990s, talc spinning wheels were unearthed from Jiuling, Hubian; stone sickles, stone knives and other Neolithic relics were unearthed from yangsixie yangguanfen mountain; antlers were unearthed from the area south of Zhang'an bridge. The successive excavation of various stone relics in these places shows that Zhang'an was mainly engaged in farming The ancient human life scene of beach fishing.

social development

During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, Zhang'an belonged to Yangzhou and was a place of Ouyue. In 221 B.C., after Qin Shihuang annexed six countries, the Qin Dynasty generally abandoned the vast and sparsely populated southeast coastal areas to Minzhong County, and then carried out a large-scale forced immigration in order to open up territory. According to the historical records of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, in the 33rd year (214 BC), there were many people who died in Changfu, their husband and Jia people who took Luliang land "Gaodi Ji" in the book of Han also said: "the people of Qin moved to Zhongxian, the three counties in the south, and the envoys mixed with Baiyue.". In the Qin Dynasty, Zhang'an set up Huipu Township, which was subordinate to Yin County, Kuaiji Prefecture. During the Han Dynasty, it had already developed, controlled and managed the southern Zhejiang, Northern Fujian and even the whole southeast Yue nationality. Zhang an's political and military status became more and more important because of the expansion of territory and the development of the maritime "Silk Road" in the Qin and Han Dynasties. "Hanshu" said: "north to Liaoning, South and Jiaozhi, contribution to transport, all from Dongou, Dongye.". According to the research, both Dongou and Dongye refer to the former site of Zhang'an.

In the second year of the first Yuan Dynasty (85bc), Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty established Huipu County in Zhang'an, which belongs to Kuaiji county. By the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, it has become an important town and military fortress along the southeast coast, a key port for Haikou shipping, and a military center for the central government to control ou, Fujian and Vietnam. Zhang'an is not only China's ancient first county, coastal port, military important place, county office and political, economic and cultural center. At the same time, it was a military institution from the Han Dynasty to the Wu period of the Three Kingdoms. Just as there is a marquis in the northwest and a captain in the southeast in Yang Xiong's jieji of the Eastern Han Dynasty, "a captain" refers to this place. The rise of Zhang an is related to geographical environment and political factors. For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pointed out that "Dongyue is narrow and obstructed", and the traffic is inconvenient. Only this place is located along the Taizhou bay at the mouth of Jiaojiang River, which is convenient for water traffic and easy to contact with the outside world. As the Western Han Dynasty ruling in the remote areas along the southeast coast, the Huipu county government was set up in Zhang'an, and the southern Duwei was set up in the military organization. This is a plan of military strategic rights and interests, which plays a vital role in deterring the remote areas.

From Zhang an's establishment of Huipu County in the second year of the first Yuan Dynasty (85bc) of emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, to Zhang an County in the time of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to Linhai County in the eastern part of Kuaiji in the second year of Taiping (251) of Wu Shaodi of the Three Kingdoms, and to Linhai County in the eighth year of Wude of the Tang Dynasty (625), they are basically the old governance of county (Huipu, Zhang an).

With the expansion of administrative districts and the integration of Han and Yue nationalities, the society has achieved all-round development. The newly deposited land has become an ideal development place for immigrants to settle down, and the people who choose high and fat farming. With the development of Commerce and handicraft industry, Zhang'an is densely populated. At this time, there were clans of surnames. Ma Tianjun, an old minister of Zhao state, lived in seclusion in Zhang'an (Sanmen County annals) to avoid the harm of Qin Dynasty. According to the genealogy of Sanmen Mahalanobis, "at the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was a man named Ma shengluan. In order to avoid the chaos of the Qin Dynasty, his family went from zhangan Fanhai to Majiashan Juyan.". Huang Rui's "Taizhou jinshilu · Zhuanlu" records and recently unearthed the surnames of Wang, Wu, Gao, Chen, Xu, Jiang, pan, Ding, Zuo and Zhu in the Six Dynasties of Zhang'an. For example, between the bottom of the tripod support surface of aolikeng kiln, the word "Jin" or "Gong" in Yangwen and the word "Li" on the bottom of celadon reef bucket are engraved, which is estimated to be the surname of the craftsman of the kiln. There are decorative bricks with mould marks in the annals of dynasties, such as "Jianyuan", "Yuanping" and "yongchong" in the Western Han Dynasty, "Yongning" and "Yanxi" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and "chiwu" in the Three Kingdoms. There are also mould marks and inscriptions on some ceramics. Some celadon objects are inscribed in brown color on their bellies. A piece of celadon fragment found in the Linhai Kaijing kiln site is inscribed in brown color There are only two words left. As for the brick inscriptions left in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there are more. After the rebellion of "eight kings" in Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains had been in flames for many years, and the northern scholars and people moved southward one after another, either because of the war or because of the political reasons, which brought about the national integration and cultural exchange. A large number of burial chambers and inscriptions from the Han Dynasty to the Southern Dynasties were unearthed in the surrounding areas of Zhang'an, including "Jizhou (369) (today's Gaoyi County, Hebei Province), and" Zhu Wei's wife in guanhuali, Duxiang, Jiyang County, Jiyang County, Yanzhou "; in February 1918, the" Buqu Jiangyin "and the dredging of the Baili River in 1971 were unearthed on Zhang'an East Road, It can be seen from the Han official seal of "Junjia Sima" collected by the village farmers in the section of balianqiao, and the six side private seal of "Zhu Zhengshou" and Bronze Hook seal unearthed in the 1990s. It reflects Zhang'an's political and military historical status and a proof of population migration, thus connecting the cultural connection between Zhang'an in Haiyu and the Central Plains. At the same time, Zhang'an and the Central Plains have also stepped out the same pace and participated in the historical drama of Chinese civilization, from which we can see the profound influence of Chinese civilization.

Weiwen ferry to the East

At the same time, zhangangang, a military town, is also one of the earliest five ancient seaports along the southeast coast. "In 230, the second year of Huanglong, the great emperor of Wu of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Quan sent General Wei Wen, and Zhuge bluntly sent more than ten thousand people to the sea to beg for the return of Yizhou (today's Taiwan)" (Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, chronicles of Wu, biography of Wu Zhu). In modern times, many scholars believed that the port to the sea of this voyage was Zhang'an port. This is the first large-scale exchanges between the mainland and Taiwan in China's history. It is also the first time for China to operate Taiwan in the name of the government, which is of great significance. In the 1960s, some remains such as ship masts and ship plates were excavated between the north of huchan village and the south of Limulus mountain, which provides a reliable basis for the confirmation of the scope of ancient zhangan lake on Huipu old road.

Development of industry and agriculture

The development of maritime transportation promoted the development of traditional handicraft industry and culture in ancient Zhang'an. During the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, Ouyue people were engaged in textile, shipbuilding, ceramics and other labor. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Shanyue aborigines had frequent contacts with the Han people in the Central Plains, and agricultural production developed rapidly. With the development of political geography, the economy of Zhang'an in the six dynasties developed rapidly. During the Wu period of the Three Kingdoms, Shen Ying recorded the local conditions and customs of Linhai county at that time. It has been recorded that "Danqiu Valley ripens again in summer and Autumn". Danqiu was another name of Linhai county at that time. There are many kinds of economic crops, mainly beans, and dried ginger is the most famous.

In the Southern Dynasties, Zhang an's dried ginger was already a tribute to the court. According to the newly revised materia medica compiled by the Tang official, it is said that "it is better to be Zhang an out of Linhai.". It is also recorded in the geography annals of the Tang Dynasty that "the old tribute and dried ginger come from the gate of Zhang'an City, and the Huang Du is the best.". According to the biography of Kong Xiu in Southern History: "Kong Xiu was born as the prefect of Linhai and was in the Qing Dynasty. After striking the county, he offered two kilos of dried ginger, which was too little for emperor Qi Wu. It's the clearness of knowing Xiu, it's a sigh. " The book of Nanqi, biography of kongxiu, is actually written as "twenty Jin". In addition to the tribute of dried ginger, the production of "mang 屩" also attracted much attention. In fact, the so-called "mang 屩" was a straw sandal woven by Luoma at that time, which was specially used for the scholar bureaucrats, who were proud of the mountains and indulged in the green mountains and rivers. At that time, the main handicraft industry was ceramics. The history of Zhang'an ceramic firing industry can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Porcelain gradually matured in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and reached its peak in the Six Dynasties. There are many celadon kilns in Tiechang village, aolikeng village, anwangshan village, maao village, catfish pit mouth, coffin field mountain and back mountain of Kaijing village in the upper reaches of zhanganpu river. Today, there are six archaeological discoveries, and the site is designated as a key cultural relic protection unit in Zhejiang Province. Xikou celadon kiln produces more than 50 kinds of pots, pots, washes, bowls, pots, dishes, bowls, warehouses and cups. The celadon shaft is light green, moistening and lustrous, simple and elegant, and has the techniques of molding, carving, piling, carving, engraving and kneading. It also has the function of burning funerary ware.

Zhang'an is close to Jiaojiang River, and beyond Jiaobei plain is the East China Sea, which is also rich in fishery resources. In ancient times, Yue people were good at boating and were mainly engaged in fishery production.
