Historical evolution

Jitan township has a long history. The famous sentence "pheasants are shy of green water and dare not shine on sweaters" in Li Bai's tour of Qiupu is the natural origin of Jitan. According to the eight volumes of Shidai county annals written by Jiajing of Ming Dynasty, there are five beaches in Shidai county (today's Shitai County), of which "ji'ertan is 150 miles northwest of the county", which is subordinate to the 13th capital of Taiping Township of Shidai county. Because there are many Shiji extending into the water, corresponding to the beach, it was named "Jitan". The region involves Qili, waiyangli and huangshili. In 1929, yangkengkou Township Office was established. Later, it was abolished and gouting Township Office was established to govern gouting street. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, gouting Township Office was under the jurisdiction of Guichi county. In 1952, it was the first time to withdraw the Township Office and establish the township government, which was renamed Jitan township government, officially taking "Jitan" as the township name. In October 1961, Jitan people's commune was formally established. The commune is located in Jitan old street, with 9 production teams and 39 production teams under its jurisdiction. The existing rural area is under the jurisdiction of Guichi county. When Shitai County was rebuilt in July 1965, Jitan commune was put under the jurisdiction of Shitai County. During the cultural revolution, it was renamed the Revolutionary Committee of Jitan commune. In 1983, the reform committee of Jitan commune was changed into the government of Jitan Township, the brigade was changed into a village, and the team was changed into a villager group.

" Wu Yingji, the leader of the restoration society, wrote in a poem: "the stone at the beach of Ji'er is half covered, the frost at the ferry of Huzi is not dry, and the green hills on both sides of the Strait are muddy in the water.

Around 1935, the Red Army guerrillas and the Kuomintang 88th division fought many times in gouting and Taisheng. Wu Xiushan, a hero of Taisheng village, died bravely in gouting. In 1944, a Japanese transport plane made a forced landing in yangkeng, and the local army and people jointly captured 13 Japanese devils alive. In 1945, Yang Youhua, Secretary of the Guishi Working Committee, led a company's armed forces to move around yangkengkou, gouting, Chishui and chongkeng. He fought repeatedly with the Kuomintang local army and fought four wars in chongkeng alone. Monitor Wang and Fang Xiaosi spilled blood into the heavy pit.

After firing a shell at Fenghe group of Taisheng village, it destroyed the Kuomintang's bunker in gouting. In the history of Jitan, not only the land road was the thoroughfare of Anhui Province and Huichi, but also the golden waterway of Qiupu river was a little bit of boat crossing.
