Historical evolution

According to the research of historians, in the period of Sixteen Kingdoms, heliansheng established Daxia state in 407-431 A.D. and built Liziyuan in 413 (the ninth year of Yixi reign of emperor an of the Eastern Jin Dynasty), which is actually the Royal Garden of Daxia state (see volume 4 of Yuanhe county annals: "Huaiyuan County Its original name is yinhancheng, and helianheng takes it as Liziyuan. Liziyuan was a scenic and recreational place and an important Garrison and grain town of Daxia state at that time. It can be seen that this place is the earliest tourist attraction in Ningxia. In the northern and Southern Dynasties, the number of households increased, so Huaiyuan County was set up in the second year of Xiaochang (526), which was the beginning of Yinchuan city. After about half a century to the third year of Jiande in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (574), this place became more prosperous, and there were 20000 immigrants to settle here. So Huaiyuan County was set up, which was under the jurisdiction of Lingzhou. It has jurisdiction over parts of today's Yinchuan City, Yongning County, Helan County, Qingtongxia City and Shizuishan city. The county government is still located in Huaiyuan County. After the unification of China in Sui Dynasty, Huaiyuan County was abolished in 583 (the third year of kaihuang reign) and retained. Huaiyuan County still belonged to Lingzhou. Lingzhou county was set up in the third year of Daye of Sui Dynasty (607), and Huaiyuan County was subordinate to Lingzhou county. In the early Tang Dynasty, it was established in the Sui Dynasty. In 677, the Yellow River flooded and Huaiyuan County was destroyed. The next year, Huaiyuan new city was built in the west of the city, the old city of Yinchuan. As the predecessor of Yinchuan City, the old city of Huaiyuan County has remained in Zhangzheng town for more than 150 years. If we start from the city of drinking sweat, the old Huaiyuan County has a history of more than 300 years in the area of Walu village, Zhangzheng town. However, since then, the history of ruling seems to have stopped. More than three centuries later, during the Baoyuan period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Tuoba clan of the Dangxiang clan rose. Through the painstaking efforts of three generations of leaders, Li Yuanhao established the Xixia state in the first year of Baoyuan (1038) of the Northern Song Dynasty, and established its capital in Huaiyuan new city (in 1020, Li Deming, Li Yuanhao's father, had promoted Huaiyuan County to Xingzhou), which was called Xingqing Prefecture. Because the rulers of Xixia believed in Buddhism, Li Yuanhao built a royal temple Gaotai temple near Zhenhe village, the current ruling town. This temple has a far-reaching influence, and the name of Gaotai temple has been preserved to this day. as time goes by, history has entered the Ming Dynasty. In 1392, Ningxia first set up seven guards: Ningxia guards, zuotun guards, youtun guards, Zhongtun guards, avant-garde guards, Zhongwei guards. Zuotun Wei, one of the 14 fortresses under the jurisdiction of zuotun Wei, is subordinate to the capital of Shaanxi Province. Zhang Zheng (also known as Zhang Zhen) was a garrison fortress in Ming Dynasty. "Zhang Zheng" may be the name of the stronghold leader or stronghold leader at that time. This is the first place to have this name. During the Jiajing period of the later Ming Dynasty, the seven guards were changed into five guards (Ningxia Wei, zuotun Wei, youtun Wei, Zhongtun Wei and Qianwei), and Zhang Zhengbao was still subordinate to zuotun Wei. in 1724, the second year of Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty, Ningxia county was set up, with 24 fortresses under its jurisdiction, including Zhangzheng fortress. During the period of the Republic of China, Zhang Zhengbao was subordinate to Ningxia county and Helan County before Yongning County was established. In 1941, Yongning County was set up in Ningxia, and zhangzhengbao was under the jurisdiction of Yongning County. It can be seen that Zhang Zhengbao existed for more than 550 years from the establishment of Zhang Zhengbao in 1392 to the liberation of Ningxia in 1949. After liberation in 1949, the township system was carried out, and Zhang Zheng was changed to "in charge of politics", which means that the people may be in charge of the political power. After 1958, the commune system was implemented, which was called the governing commune. During this period, it was under the jurisdiction of Yinchuan City in 1960 and Yongning County in 1964. In 1972, Yinchuan suburb was established, and the governing commune was under the jurisdiction of Yinchuan suburb. In 1984, the commune system was reformed, and the township in charge of government was restored, still belonging to the suburb of Yinchuan city. In November 2002, it was assigned to Xingqing District of Yinchuan City, known as Zhangzheng town.

Characteristic tourism resources

Historical and cultural tourism resources

1. Gaotai temple.

According to the new records of Jiajing Ningxia, Gaotai temple is "fifteen Li to the east of the city". The temple was abandoned in summer, and the platform was three feet high. King Qinggong rebuilt it. There is a great lake under the thousand hectares (records of this lake for the Gaotai Temple Lake), mountain scenery, a look suddenly. We know from it that Gaotai temple was built in the Xixia period and had been abandoned in the Ming Dynasty. It is also recorded in Ningxia Fu Zhi that "Yuanhao built the temple here", which shows that Gaotai temple was built by Li Yuanhao in the early Xixia Dynasty. From the "taigaosanzhang", we can see that the scale of Gaotai temple is magnificent and magnificent. In addition, there are thousands of hectares of gaotaisi lake, beautiful scenery and rippling blue waves. The environment must be very beautiful. Therefore, King Qinggong rebuilt Gaotai temple. According to the local records, King Qinggong should be the great grandson of King Qingjing Zhu Zhan (the 16th son of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Ming Dynasty, who was granted the title of King Qinggong and the land was granted to Xia). His father was king qingzhuang, his grandfather was king Qingkang, and his great grandfather was king Qingjing. They are all hereditary Qing kings, with posthumous titles in the middle (titles given according to the deeds of emperors, nobles and ministers after their death in the era of monarchy). The temple was built in the southeast of Zhenhe village, Zhangzheng town. Later, the Yellow River collapsed and the site was preserved. 2.

Zhenhebao.

Zhenhebao is Zhenhe village, which is now in charge of the government. According to the records of Jiajing Ningxia, zhenhebao is subordinate to zhongtunwei, and zhongtunwei is subordinate to the capital of Shaanxi Province; according to the records of Ningxia, zhenhebao is located 20 miles east of the city, and has its own integrity. In the second year of Yongzheng reign of Qing Dynasty (1724), Ningxia county was established, and zhenhebao was subordinate to Ningxia county. The head of Zhenhe fort was set up in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. There are records in Jiajing Ningxia Xinzhi and Ningxia Fu Zhi. It is recorded in the local records as follows: "when the Yellow River freezes in winter, the captives take a long night drive to Yongtong bridge. When the invaders leave the city in the morning, they will return. As a result, even though the industry is hard-working and the manure is small, the car can't work. Chang divided his troops according to the Fu Gaotai temple, but he did not avoid it. Instead, he suggested building a fort to prepare for it. And again and again. Up to the 15th year of Jiajing, there was the loss of Yanhai lake. In the 17th year, Wu Kaishi, the imperial censor of the capital, commanded the city of Lu Zhongliang This passage explains the reason and time of building the city. There are two reasons: one is that there are sometimes "captives" who come in at night and go out in the morning to plunder, and the people are in dire need of livelihood, resulting in agricultural waste; the other is that the roads can not be opened to traffic, causing inconvenience in life management. During this period, the city was built many times, but the "repeated works and stops" eventually led to the "loss of Yanhai Lake" in 1536, the 15th year of Jiajing period (I don't know what the loss of Yanhai Lake actually refers to). In 1538, the governor of Ningxia, Wu kaicai, commissioned the capital to command Shi Lu Zhongliang to build the city. Although there are only ruins of the ancient castle in Zhenhe village, the villagers often see ancient coins and pieces of ancient porcelain unearthed when they are making land preparation in pingtian or carrying out village construction.
