In the 11th year of emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty (196 BC), Zhao Tuo, king of Nanyue in the Western Han Dynasty, built the palace "changletai" here. In the sixth year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (331 BC), Xingning county was set up. The county governed leigongdun, Huacheng town. Song Tianxi two years (1018) known as Changle Town.

Evolution of administrative districts

Huacheng town is a cultural ancient city with a history of more than 2000 years. It is the hometown of culture, overseas Chinese, football, Zhuma and Weilongwu. It has always been the center of politics, economy, culture and education, and a place for military strategists. According to Longchuan County annals, Xingning county annals, Wuhua county annals and other documents, Changle Town (Huacheng town) was once the seat of the state and county seat of the ancient four counties and one prefecture (gulongchuan, guxingning, guqichang, guchangle (now Wuhua) and Xunzhou prefecture). According to Pei Yuan's Guangzhou chronicle, in the east of benboluo County, Donglong comes out through the ground, which is called acupoint Liuquan, because it is called Donglong. According to the annals of Nanyue, "there is Longxue mountain in the north of the county, and there are five colored dragons in Shun Dynasty. They go in and out of this cave by clouds." The name of Longchuan County is derived from this and belongs to Longchuan. The reason why Longchuan got its name is that in the east of Boluo (ancient Longchuan), there is a dragon coming out through the ground, that is, the cave flowing spring, because it is called the cave flowing spring; and in the east of Boluo (ancient Longchuan), the Longtan is named Longchuan because it is divided into two parts, i.e., the Wushan and the Wushan.
