Historical evolution

In ancient times, the gaotao (Tao Du "Yao") tribe once lived here. in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Maotanchang town was once the feudal land of Earl class nobles in the ancient six countries. When the emperor of Zhou toured around the world, he went to Diaoyutai not far from Maotanchang. In the 1980s, a Zhou Dynasty tomb was excavated in wangjiachong, west of Maotanchang Town, and several bronze ritual vessels were unearthed. Sun Bin and Wu Zixu, celebrities of the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, all had activities near Maotanchang. In qingshanyan, southwest of the town, cultural relics and archaeologists excavated several wooden coffin tombs of the Warring States period in the 1990s. Today, houses of the Han Dynasty are still preserved in the South of the town. Some data show that the Maotanchang area was a prosperous place in the depths of the mountains at the latest in the spring and Autumn period. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, with the increasingly sharp national and social contradictions, the resistance of the poor people came one after another. At that time, Huanggu Village, Xiangluo village, jimingling village, sanjianzhai village and Baoerling around Maotanchang became the camp of the peasant uprising army. Maotanchang became not only the place where the volunteers and the yuan army fought against each other, but also the place where Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang fought The rebel forces fought against each other in the world. Since the Ming Dynasty, unique farming culture, commercial culture and architectural culture have gradually formed here. According to the folklore, jimingling is a battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang. At this time, at dawn, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't cut off Chen Youliang's head. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't shout out: "I'm a hero. You go to be a ghost hero. At this time, Chen Youliang fell off his horse and died there. This is jimingling in Chengdu. It was during this period that the people left their hometown and moved around. In addition to the plague, this area was called "Maotanchang", which means that because of the large amount of land abandoned, it became a desolate place with few people and many thatched plants. Zhu Yuanzhang won the world from horseback, and he paid great attention to the issue of raising horses when he was in power. They actively carried out the "horse administration". He believes that the number of horses is an important sign of a country's prosperity. He strongly advocated raising horses in the "water and grass rich and open land" all over the country. As Anhui was the hometown of Zhu Yuanzhang, he paid special attention to the horse industry in Anhui. According to relevant historical records, "there were 14 horse breeding institutions in the mainland in Ming Dynasty, among which there were 33 groups of five in Anhui." Because of the lush water and grass in Maotanchang, the refugees came back from other places one after another. They fed a large number of troops and horses for the imperial court instead of taxes and grain. Soon, the area became prosperous again. That is to say, from this time on, "Maotanchang" was renamed "Maotanchang" according to the homonym, and it was named from then on.
