History of Wucheng

Wuwei City has a long history. In 581, the first year of emperor kaihuang of Sui Dynasty, Qi county was changed to Xiang'an county (which is located in the northeast of today's Chaohu City), Wuwei town (which is now Wuwei City) was established, and Wuwei city began to become the political center of a place. In the Tang Dynasty, Kaicheng, Fuyang and other counties were built in the county, but for a short period of time, they were abandoned. in the third year of Taiping rejuvenating the country (978) of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wuwei was established as an army, and Wuwei town was ruled by the army, which is located in the central vegetable market of Wuwei city. In the third year of Xining (1070), Wuwei officially established the county, which is located in the north of Zhishan. In Yuan Dynasty, Wuwei army was promoted to Wuwei Road, and then it was reduced to Wuwei Prefecture, leading Wuwei, Lujiang and Chaoxian counties. The state (army, road) and county administration remained unchanged. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it was destroyed by war. In the first year of the Ming Dynasty (1367), Wuwei Prefecture was established and its governance was rebuilt. In the first year of Hongwu (1368), provinces, counties and prefectures were integrated, which was the reason for this in the Qing Dynasty. Wuwei Prefecture was destroyed in the late Qing Dynasty. In the first year of the Republic of China (1912), Wuwei was changed into a county. The county office was located in the northeast of Wuwei City Cross Street (now near Suguo supermarket in people's Square). In the 29th year of the Republic of China (1940), the Japanese army occupied Wuwei city. The Kuomintang county government moved to Shushan, Huanggu and huangtun in Lujiang County. The puppet county government was located at the entrance of Anzi alley (the former women's primary school). In 34 (1945) October, the Kuomintang government returned to Wuwei City, which was located in the former Town God's Temple (near the north of the people's Square, near the old archives building). In the 38 year (1949) of the Republic of China in July, 4 county-level democratic regimes in the county were merged into the Wuwei County government. The authorities were still located in the original Town God's Temple, and in 1956, they were converted into organs. In the spring of 2002, the office building of Wuwei County People's government was moved to the west side of Fenghe road in the new urban area, opposite to Wuwei Hotel on the east side of the road. Wuwei City has been built with city walls since the establishment of military administration in the early Song Dynasty. Yang Jie, a famous scholar and poet of Wuwei in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote a poem praising the Jiuhua building in the South Gate of Wuwei City: "this building has no scenery in other states, and the situation of mountains and rivers swallows three Wu. It's hard to master the art of painting even if you have a brush. " From this we can imagine the momentum of Wuwei city at that time. In the late Northern Song Dynasty, the city walls were built because of twice military affairs, and the rudiment of the city came into being from then on. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Zheng, the general and marshal of the town of Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, led his troops to attack Wuwei city. He died of anger because he couldn't attack Wuwei City for a long time, which shows the strength of Wuwei city wall. In 1364, Xia Junxiang, who was appointed as Wuwei Zhizhou under Zhu Yuanzhang, built the city. The city has a circumference of 9 li and 36 steps, a height of 1 Zhang and 2 feet, a base width of 7 feet, and a head width of 4 feet. In the East, the Hualin river is used as a trench, with a depth of 1 Zhang and a width of 5 Zhang and 5 feet; in the south, North and West, the trench is dug with a depth of 7 feet and a width of 5 Zhang and 9 feet to irrigate it. There are six city gates, the big east gate is called chuze gate, also known as Chaozong gate, which is called Chaoyang Gate in Qing Dynasty; the small east gate is called Dongjin gate; the south gate is called Xunfeng gate, also known as Yifeng gate, which is called Desheng Gate in Qing Dynasty; the West gate is called Daan gate; the north gate is called Zhenhuai gate, which is called Yingen gate in Qing Dynasty; and the Northeast gate is called cangbu gate. Later, it was repaired when it was destroyed. During the Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates repeatedly attacked the coastal areas, and went deep into the inland along the river, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. From time to time, the Japanese police came to Wuwei, and Liu Lun proposed to rebuild the Wuwei city wall. In the 35th year of Jiajing (1556), the Japanese police became more and more urgent, and Wu Baipeng, the imperial censor, arrived at Wuwei. He Chong, the governor of Zhizhou, showed the urgency of building a city. It's a good harvest this year, and people in the city are willing to build it. Wu Baipeng agreed to build Wuwei city wall, entrusted Luzhou Tongtan Jiyuan with the help of He Chong, the governor of Luzhou, and donated 3580 liang of official silver. Sun Daxian and Cao Fang donated 806 liang of silver. Other businessmen donated more than 1700 liang of silver, and more than 6100 liang of official and private capital was used to build the city. The whole city participated enthusiastically and the new town project was completed in March of the next spring. The foundation of the city is one foot and two inches deep, with three layers of stone and brick to the top. The city is 2 zhang2 feet high and 1 491 zhang3 feet long, with 6 gatehouses. The Dadongmen tower is renamed mingyuanlou, later binxu tower; the Xiaodongmen tower is still called Dongjin tower, later Yiyun tower; the Nanmen tower is renamed Jiuhua tower; the Ximen tower is renamed daosun tower; the Beimen tower is still called Yingen tower; the cangbumen tower is called Qingfeng tower. At the end of the city, 12 bunkers were built to facilitate garrison. At this point, the pattern of Wuwei city wall was determined. In the 46th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1618), after a long period of rain, the city walls of the south, the West and the North all collapsed. That year, it was restored and the Jiuhua bridge outside the south gate was built to close again. In 1635, Zhang Xianzhong led the uprising army to the area of Luzhou Prefecture. The gentry suggested strengthening the city wall, merging the two battlements into one, and building a horse road for patrolling. After the Qing Dynasty, the city wall collapsed several times, but was restored immediately. By the middle of the Republic of China, Wuwei city was still standing. In the early days of the Anti Japanese War, the Anhui provincial government of the Kuomintang held that it was not easy for the enemy to attack and defend cities and towns with city walls, and it was not easy for the enemy to attack and defend them, so it was appropriate to tear down all the city walls. Tao ruocun, who took office in June 1939, demolished part of the Daokou city wall. The remaining part was transformed into a ring road after liberation. Today, from cangbumen to Dadongmen, the foundation of the city wall along the Huancheng River collapses as soon as it is demolished, so it has not been demolished, and the ruins of the old city wall are still vaguely identified. According to Jiaqing's Wuwei Prefecture annals and Wuwei Prefecture local annals published in the late Qing Dynasty, there are 21 streets, 28 alleys and 14 lanes inside and outside Wuwei city. There are 13 main streets in the city. In front of Zhouzhi (now xinghuaquan primary school), there is Shizi street, in the south is tuergang Street (now Nanmen Street), in the south is xiaoshizi street, also known as Sipailou, in the west is Dengying Street (also known as Confucianism Street), and in the East is wushensi street. Zhidong is Xichun street, with Wuyun Pavilion, Xichun square, and now huge. Wang Lin, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, built a flower garden here, also known as the rice market. North Street of Mishi is Gulou Street, also known as goose City. Then the North Cross Street is the City God Temple Street (that is, the upper horse rock Street), which is called the fish market. Houxin street is from Xiaodongmen to cangbumen street, and Qianxin street is after houxin street. Huanghuafang street, also known as CaoShi, connects Drum Tower in the South and Drum Tower in the north. To the west is Da'an Street (now Ximen Street). To the north of ZhiBei is Yingen Street (today's Beimen Street), and outside the Beimen, xiacaocheng street is Zhushi and Niuji. There is a wharf outside the east gate, where most of the merchant ships berthed and docked, and then the department stores were transported into the city from the big and small East gates and cangbu gates, so the East Street of the city is more prosperous. From January 1938 to August 1945, during the Japanese invasion of Wuwei City, planes were sent to bomb and soldiers were sent to burn Wuwei city. As a result, the famous ancient buildings such as Gulou (also known as rujianglou), migong temple, Jingfu temple, Confucius Temple and the main streets such as Shizi street, Mishi, CaoShi and ESHI were destroyed. On January 20, 1949, Wuwei city was liberated. The new policies of the people's government give the ancient city new vitality. In 1958, four main streets, East, West, South and North, were widened. The road surface was widened from 4m to 8m, with about 3M sidewalks on both sides. Since 1966, the main streets have been tarred one after another. By 1988, the asphalt pavement of streets and lanes had reached 73600 square meters, and the cement concrete pavement had reached 12500 square meters. Today, wuweicheng street is basically cement pavement. Jinta Road, Fenghe Road, Xiang'an Road, Xinli Avenue and other trunk roads have 4-8 express lanes, green isolation belt, left and right slow lanes and sidewalks, which are spacious, flat, fast and efficient, presenting a modern urban landscape.

Division evolution

According to the records of Wuwei state annals, according to the general annals, the old city of Wuwei is in huajiatuan, the town of Benchao County, where Wei Wuzheng and Wu built the city. Because of their reactive power, Wuwei city is called Wuwei city. They also think that the world is contented with nothing and take the meaning of "governing by doing nothing". Its original intention is to have peace and rest with the people; there is Zhishan in the city, also known as Zhicheng. There is Zhishan in the city, also known as Zhicheng. It was not until the early Song Dynasty that the city was built as a county, a state, a road and a county, and then rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty that it had a city scale. On this basis, the descendants developed southward to form the town. In Sui and Tang Dynasties, Wuwei town was well-developed in commerce and trade. Later, it was renamed Chengkou Town, the first town in Chaoxian county. In the history of Song Dynasty, geographical records has called it second only to Lin'an, and together with Shouchun and Yangzhou as a giant town.
