Historical origin

Dongzhong town is a historical town, named after two ancient earth tombs (tombs) in the center of the town. According to the records of Hanchuan county annals, in the late Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong led the peasant uprising army to pass through the tomb of Dongfu. He heard that the tomb in the middle of the town was the tomb of the princess of Chu, so he wanted to dig it up. After careful examination, he found that it was the tomb of Cao Cao's palace maid, and ordered the soldiers to bury it again on the spot. Since then, with the passage of time, the two ancient tombs have been gradually destroyed, and now there is no trace. There are many legends about Cao Cao in Dongzhong, an ancient town. It is said that Dongzhong was called Wulin town in ancient times, and it was the ancient battlefield of Chibi battle in the Three Kingdoms period with Chibi street of Hanchuan (Chibi street of Zhongzhou farm), about 15 kilometers south of the town. Before the battle of Chibi, Cao Cao had a large number of soldiers in the town of Dongzhong (Wulin) for many days. A maid of honor died violently and was buried on the spot. Later, Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi and retreated to Dongzhong (Wulin town). He fought again with Shu soldiers 1.5 kilometers north of the town and was defeated again. The dead bodies piled up like a mountain in the battle for Wulin, so the place is now called the corpse platform. At that time, seeing that the whole army would be destroyed, we had to break through the encirclement. But there was an old stork Lake in the east of Dongzhong, and we had to go west. But there was a branch of Xiaoyan lake one kilometer west of the town, so chariots, supplies and horses could not pass through. However, Cao Cao ordered the soldiers to build a dike with soil in their robes. One day and one night, the dike disappeared. The dike is still there today, which is called "ancient dike". It was also a red land. The red regime was established during the first Civil Revolutionary War. During the Anti Japanese War, it was a part of diaochahu revolutionary base. A group of revolutionaries such as general Tang Jinlong, former deputy commander of Wuhan military region and commander of the first army of the Chinese people's Liberation Army, and long Bingfa, an old regiment of the Red Army, were born here. The town was set up in the Guomindang period before liberation. After liberation, it has been the residence of District, commune and town governments. Dongzhong is an advanced sports town in Hubei Province, an advanced culture town in Xiaogan City, and an advanced education town with rich cultural and sports activities. Cable TV cable to the village, can receive more than 30 channels of TV programs.

Located on the North Bank of Hanbei River, there are four villages adjacent to Hanbei River, which is one of the villages and towns in Hanchuan City. In 2006, Hanbei river beach grazing ban was carried out in Hanchuan City, and most of the cattle were eliminated in the town. However, due to the backward economy, the farmers' farming consciousness has remained in the original livestock farming habits, and cattle have always become the lifeblood of farmers. In addition, the town is located in the hills, some fields are not suitable for mechanical farming, and some of them still feed cattle. According to the requirements of the higher authorities, the town adheres to the principles of people-oriented, farmers' interests first and patient and meticulous work. From June 23 to 25, the town slaughtered all 60 farm cattle in Xinhe, Zhuxi, Qingnian and tubei villages along the Hanbei River, realizing that there were no cattle in four villages along the Hanbei River, and successfully completed the project task of "replacing cattle with machine". Taking the town and the Golden Triangle Economic Park as the center and developing along fenwang highway, chendongzhong town has built a ten mile commercial corridor, a 35KV substation, a program-controlled telephone to the village, improved infrastructure, and prosperous cultural and health undertakings such as TV station, cable TV station, sports station, cinema and health center.

The construction industry, decoration industry, clothing industry, furniture industry, food processing industry, grain and oil processing industry, transportation industry, commerce and trade industry, and agricultural and sideline products distribution industry have sprung up. Since then, the proportion of the secondary and tertiary industries in the town economy has further increased, forming an industrial pattern of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries going hand in hand and coordinated development, which makes the town's economic and industrial structure more and more reasonable.

While stabilizing the grain and oil planting area, we should vigorously develop diversified economy.
