Historical records

Tonghe is a historical and cultural town. Tonghe street was once a famous and prosperous place in the east of Nanyang for a long time in ancient times. The market has always been famous for its trade, and its grain, cattle and cotton lines are well-known in Wandong. The merchant ships went down to Tang River, then down to Han River, Yangtze River and finally to Shanghai. There is a record, enough to explain the ancient prosperity of Tonghe street. According to the annotation of Tang county annals in the 52nd year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1787 AD), there is an article "tonghedian tax discussion" in the volume of "local public records". In 1610, Wang Mingdeng, the magistrate of Tang County, reported to the Nanyang government that many Shanxi and Nanyang merchants were doing business in Tonghe street. Because of the heavy tax in Tang county and the light tax in Nanyang, the merchants did not accept the tax of Tang County, which made the Tonghe shop unable to complete the 180 Liang silver tax every year. Later, the government also gave a reply: "to set up a business on the basis of geographical location (meaning to set up business and trade according to geographical location), to set up a business tax on the basis of geographical location, and the tax depends on the location.". Since Tonghe shop is under the jurisdiction of Tang Dynasty, who is the owner of Tonghe goods? The county immediately ordered the tax to be levied in the Tang Dynasty, so there was no need to use the government as an example to make the two places empty "(the above is the original text, and the explanation in brackets). At that time, quantang county (in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Tang county had a large area, with a total of 20 insurance companies and 12 insurance companies. In addition to the existing areas, haozhai and Miaodian, which were under the jurisdiction of Sheqi, had an annual silver tax of 1500 Liang. Tonghedian accounted for nearly one eighth of the total. This shows the prosperity of business.

Historical evolution

In the Southern Qi Dynasty (479-502 AD), He'nan county was established. in the Song Dynasty, it was already a prosperous river road wharf, known as "tonghedian", with developed commercial economy. In 1095, when the Sizhou tower was built in tangzhou (now Tanghe County), tonghedian donated money to build the seventh floor of the tower. In Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was one of the 20 baos in Tang county. The town has built earthen walls and built four gates, with a circumference of nine Li and thirteen steps. Mainly for the prevention of bandits and flood. The street is paved with bluestone, known as "three mile long street". In the Qing Dynasty, a stone slab bridge with seven holes and forty meters long was built on the dongzhaimenwai river. Liu Guoke, a native of Tonghe, who was once an official of Maozhou Prefecture in Sichuan Province, donated money to preside over the construction. During the period of the Republic of China, Tonghe was established as a township, belonging to tongzhaipu district. Liberated in August 1948, Tonghe set up the seventh district, belonging to Tangxi county (in baiqiu). In March 1949, the three counties of Tanghe (North), Tangnan and Tangxi merged to form Tanghe County. Tonghe set up the Fifth District (once stationed in zhangjianzhuang). In February 1956, Tonghe Central Township was set up. In August 1958, it belonged to tongzhaipu people's commune. In May 1961, Tonghe people's commune was established, belonging to tongzhaipu district. In August 1968, Tonghe people's commune was established after the district was withdrawn and merged.
