Evolution of organizational system

Huanglongxi town has been built for more than 2100 years. It has a profound history and its ancient name is "Chishui". Also known as Yongxing field. The original site was in the backwater area on the East Bank of the Fuhe River. It was destroyed by a fire in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, so it was also called "huoshaochang". Later, families of he, Qiao and Tang moved to the current site to build the site, gradually developing into today's scale.

Records of Huayang state records a natural wonder that took place in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty: "in the 24th year of Jian'an (AD 219), Huanglong saw (now) the ninth day of Chishui in Wuyang.". In the Han Dynasty, Huanglongxi was under the jurisdiction of Wuyang, which was probably in the area of today's Xinjin and Pengshan along Mumashan.

Chishui River is the Luxi river that meets with Fu River today. In every flood season, because the upstream of Luxi river originates from Longquan Mountain, the water flowing down is mostly mountain stream water, which carries a large amount of sediment, and the water color is red and yellow; while the Jinjiang River from Fuhe River originates from Minjiang River, which is clear and transparent. When the two rivers meet in today's Huanglong River, the clear and turbid rivers are quite different. The mountains and waters rush into the Fu River by subduction, showing the scene of undercurrent surging. It looks like a giant dragon swimming in the Qianjiang River. The local people vividly describe it as "the Yellow Dragon crossing the Qingjiang River". As time goes by, under the influence of myths and legends from generation to generation, people naturally call it Huanglongxi, the treasure land where "Huanglong" appears.

According to Renshou County annals: "Chishui and Jin confluence, the stream is brown, and the river is clear", the ancients said: "Huanglong crosses Qingjiang River, and the real dragon is hidden in it". According to the record of Huanglong Ganlu stele recorded in Lidu, "Huanglong sees Wuyang affairs, builds a tripod, and looks like a dragon in the shape, sinking into the water... So it is called" Huanglong River ". In the 24th year of Jian'an (A.D. 216), in the Han Dynasty, Wuyang was also the place of Pengshan in Xinjin, bordering on the southeast of Dongxian county (Huaxian county). Renshou was also like Longya, the place where Huanglong lived in spring. It belonged to Wuyang and was governed by the government, so the river was named Huanglongxi.

In the Qin and Han Dynasties, Huanglongxi town belonged to Wuyang County of Qianwei county (now Pengshan District).

In Song Dynasty, Huanglongxi town belonged to Pengshan County of Meizhou. In Yuan Dynasty, Pengshan County was abolished and merged into Meizhou.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Meizhou was reduced to Meixian County, and now the area near Huanglongxi town is under the jurisdiction of Renshou County. According to page 184 of the directory of Shuangliu County, Huishui village of Huanglongxi town was subordinate to Shunhe township of Renshou County in Ming Dynasty.

In the early Qing Dynasty, Renshou County belonged to Zizhou, which was directly under the jurisdiction of Zizhou. For this large area, Renshou County set up three townships, namely, Donglin, Shunhe and anxiashang townships. Today, Huanglongxi town and its surrounding areas belong to the Northeast Shunhe township.

At the end of Qing Dynasty, Huanglongxi was transferred from Renshou County to Huayang County of Chengdu.

According to the records of Huayang County of the Republic of China, "the place Huanglong saw was once in Wuyang, but now it belongs to Zhijing, so the river is named after it."

On March 27, 1965, the 154th meeting of the State Council decided to abolish the establishment of Huayang county and merge it into Shuangliu County. On April 8, the people's Committee of Sichuan Province issued a notice of withdrawing and merging counties. On July 1, Huayang county was officially merged into Shuangliu County, with 18 communes (including huangfo) and 3 towns under its jurisdiction merged into Shuangliu County.

In 1976, Huishui Township, Jitian District, Renshou County was designated as Shuangliu.

On October 10, 1992, Shuangliu County decided to carry out the adjustment of District, township and town organizational system. Huangfo Township and Huishui Township merged into Huanglongxi town;

On March 26, 2016, the municipal government officially approved the request for instructions on adding sub district offices in six towns including Yong'an Town, and agreed to add sub district offices in Huanglongxi Town, Shuangliu district.
