Ponkan has gradually replaced traditional agriculture as the economic base of the township Economic pillar industries.

Historical evolution

In the Yuan Dynasty, shuidatian township was under the jurisdiction of Jinzhou (now Jinhe Town, Mayang county). In the Ming Dynasty, it was under the jurisdiction of wuzhaisi (now Tuojiang Town, Fenghuang County). After the abolition of chieftain system in Qing Dynasty, it belongs to Fenghuang County until today. Shuidatian township has changed its name many times. During the Ming Dynasty, it was called "Shuida Tian" (the name of this place comes from the local folk saying "in spring, there is a flood, the flat ground is flooded, the fields are damaged, the soil and grass are damaged, and the yellow sand and strange stones are hard to people"). During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, it was called "paddy field contract"; during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed "yongfengtian" in order to ensure the income from drought and flood. In addition, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Han immigrants and the Tujia and Miao Nationalities who had already been sinicized could always live in harmony, so they were also called "Han tumin village". From the period of the Republic of China to 1951, tea lanterns and Yangxi originated here, so they were called "Yuequn township". In 1952, it belonged to "one district"; in 1956, it was founded as "rocket commune"; in 1959, it was renamed as "paddy commune"; in 1981, it was renamed as "shuidatian commune" because it had the same name as other communes in the state after the census of place names; in 1983, the institutional reform restored the township system, so it was changed into "shuidatian township", which is still in use today.
