Historical evolution

Duqiao has a long history. In the Neolithic age at the foot of the northern suburb of the town, there are traces of human reproduction. in Song Dynasty, the vast land has become a fertile coastal field and a rich granary. In 1072 A.D., Dudu saltern was set up and tuxiaqiao belonged to Dudu saltern; in weisangyuan of Northern Song Dynasty, Zheng family moved from Linhai to tuxia of Haixiang. In 1276, the pan family moved from Dali, Huangyan to the pan family, and the Wang family moved from yongjiachang, Wenzhou to Qiaotou king. They established their family in Haixiang and built a bridge named tuxia bridge. They lived together as a bridge, forming villages and markets. In the autumn of 1661 A.D., in order to blockade Zheng Chenggong, Su Nahai, the Minister of the Ministry of household, went to Taizhou. On the first day of July, he issued an imperial edict to order the residents of the coastal area 30 Li to enter the mainland, demolish their houses and build a city, and abandon all their gardens and houses. Some of the residents moved to the South Gate of Huangyan City, Diantou, Linhai Datian, Dongcheng, Kaishi, Ninghai Zhuao and other places.

In 1670 A.D., the boundary was expanded, and on October 20 A.D., 1683 A.D., an imperial edict was issued to restore the boundary. The coastal areas were relocated to their native land, allowing fishermen to go out to sea to net fish, and the migrants to return to their hometown.
