Brief introduction of villages and towns

Ironmaking township is located in the southwest of Eryuan County, adjacent to Fengyu town in the East, Yangbi County in the south, Xishan Township in the West and Qiaohou town in the north. The total land area of the township is 246 square kilometers. The township government is located in ironmaking village, 50 kilometers away from the county seat, with an altitude of 2040 meters. although ironmaking is a small place, it is an extremely important town on the famous north-south transportation corridor "salt Tea Road" in ancient China. The Hei River Valley of ironmaking is the main passage of the "ancient salt Tea Road". It starts from Shaxi in Jianchuan and ends at pingpo in Yangbi, with a total length of more than 200 kilometers. From the north of ironmaking, through Sideng and Shaxi, you can reach Lijiang, Zhongdian and then Tibet. On the way to Eryuan, you can reach Duomei in Heqing, cross Jinsha River, Yongsheng and Huaping, and then enter Bashu. Through ironmaking, the ancient road goes southward along the Hei River Valley and connects with Bonan ancient road in Yangbi County, which can lead to Southeast Asian countries. Therefore, since the Han Dynasty, countless caravan caravans, through the ancient "North-South thoroughfare" of ironmaking, continuously transported tea, salt, silver and copper tools, ceramic products, etc. from the West and the mainland to Lhasa through Jianchuan, Lijiang, yuezhongdian, and then transported the medicinal materials, skins, wool products and Tubo specialties from Tubo (Tibet) areas back to the mainland or border areas They are trafficked to foreign countries at frontier ports. The deep Heihuijiang gorge has naturally become the "North-South Corridor" for salt tea merchants. Nowadays, many village names such as "xiemaping", "Zhumadian" and "madianpo" still exist on both sides of Heihuijiang river. From this, we can also feel the heavy cultural connotation of the ancient road set off by the ancient history, long culture and colorful customs of ironmaking. Ironmaking is not only a land deeply immersed in the history and culture like licorice juice, but also a land lazily moistened by modern civilization. It is not so much an old and prosperous town as a plain and scattered village. Because the color here, the countryside here, the scenery here, the personnel here, all show a kind of harmony of natural color, the harmony between man and nature, the harmony between man and man, the harmony between man and society. Like all the harmonious villages on the western Yunnan Plateau, the village of ironmaking is like a harmonious book with a green cover. Fields, green thoroughly; smoke, green plump; mountains near trees, green straightforward. The farmyard, which was built only last year or last winter and is full of the flavor of Bai folk houses, is also green. Green, everywhere; green, everywhere. This green, is to convey the exuberance of life and high spirited, is to show the future and hope. Hehei river is a famous river in ironmaking town. It was once called the four "sister rivers" of Western Yunnan Plateau with Jinsha River, Lancang River and Nujiang River. In the 14th year of the reign of emperor Dali in Tang Dynasty, Yimou Xun, the king of Nanzhao, was granted the title of "Si Du". The emeralds on the Lancang River are derived from this.

Historical evolution

Ironmaking town is named after its residence. It is said that in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty, the ancient post road from Dali to Yunlong passed through the territory. At that time, the government once built a rattan bridge on the Hei River to facilitate communication. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, after Du Wenxiu's uprising and occupation of Dali, he approved the allocation of 20000 Jin pig iron from the military Treasury and transported it to the nearby ironmaking area. He also mobilized a group of craftsmen to smelt and make it into refined iron. The construction of Shenhou's rattan bridge was transformed into an iron bridge, hence the name ironmaking. During the period of the Republic of China, Shangjiang Township and Xiajiang Township were in the territory.
