Historical evolution

Before the founding of new China, Baidi town was under the jurisdiction of Xiaodao Township and Jingqing Township respectively. In April 1952, Qidong separated from Qiyang and established laobaidi Township, which was under the jurisdiction of Baidi city in the seventh district and hetangping in the eighth district. In October 1958, Qidong County abolished the office and established the people's commune. Baidi town is under the jurisdiction of Baidi commune, which has five farming areas, namely Baidi City, fengshiyan, wanfuling, Heping and Maoping. In August 1961, Qidong County restored the district system, and Baidi commune was under the jurisdiction of Baidi city. In March 1981, Baidi town was formally established under the jurisdiction of Baidi city. In May 1984, Qidong County abolished the system of people's Commune and changed it into district township system. Four villages, wushanchong, cangjiangqiao, wanlongting and qiyating of yuanliping Township, which were originally baidishi Township and wanfuling Township, were included in the system. Baidishi town was merged and upgraded to district level town, which was still under the jurisdiction of baidishu city. In June 1995, Qidong County adjusted its administrative division and implemented the policy of withdrawing districts and merging townships. The former wanfuling Township, yuanliping Township and fengshushan Township were merged into Baidi town. Baidi town has become one of the 23 townships in Qidong County today. Since the establishment of Baidi Town, its government has experienced many vicissitudes. From 1981 to 1984, the town government was first stationed in Jiankang street. From 1984 to 1995, it moved to government street. From 1995 to 2006, it set up the former Baidi City office. In October 2006, Baidi town government moved to Chengdong village, Shangshang East Road.

The origin of place names

It's very interesting. There is an intriguing story about the origin of Baidi City: it is said that a long time ago, people around laobaidi village built a shuangzhong temple in memory of a martyr. When excavating the foundation of the temple, they dug out a piece of white land. People thought it was very auspicious, so they called it "Baidi". At that time, laobaidi was in the intersection center of ten townships and eight villages. People from ten miles around came to the market and gradually formed a small town market. Therefore, the town was named "Baidi city", and Baidi city got its name. In the early days of the people's liberation, Baidi city was prosperous in business and all trades. People came to the market in the early morning, and the market was closed until noon. The streets of laobaidi village, which are still tidy, are the historical witness of the prosperity of the market in that year. When the Hunan Guangxi railway station was built here, it was named baidishi station by the way, so the town was also named baidishi town because of the station name, and the original Baidi was renamed laobaidi. The name of Baidi City, from township to commune, from commune to district to town, has been used to this day.
