Historical evolution

During the Anti Japanese War, Zhongyang township was divided into four districts. The district office was located in xiashentou village. Li Baoyuan, the head of the District, was the surname of xiashentou. After Comrade Li Baoyuan's heroic sacrifice, Jin Tingxiu took over the post of district head (from Sunjiazhuang Village). Later, it was changed into six districts. The district office was set up in Nanpo village, and Zhang Chengxin, the head of the District, was a scholar of Baishi. In 1954, the township government was located in the dynamite factory in the north of Xinzhang village, named Jinhua township. In 1958, the people's commune was founded. The residence of the commune was relocated to Dayang village, which was named Jinhua people's commune. In 1959, Jinhua people's commune was renamed Dayang people's commune. At that time, the secretary was Cheng Jude (from nanwangjiu Village), and the director was Zhang Yi (from Sulu Village). The village under his jurisdiction was Zhiyu in the South and Shuigou in the North (Shuigou, Nanpo, nanwangjiu and beiwangjiu in today's sulongkou town) Under the jurisdiction of the commune). In 1961, the people's commune moved to Zhongyang village and was renamed Zhongyang people's commune. At that time, Secretary Zhang Mei (from Xinzhang Village) and Director Su Huaiyu (from xiamuzhang Village) were under the jurisdiction of sulongkou due to the relocation of the commune. Zhongyang people's commune governed by the village, South Zhiyu village, north to the big wolf ditch for 25 villages. In 1984, Zhongyang people's commune changed its name to Zhongyang township. At that time, its secretary was Li Junwei and its head was Cai Yintian. in 1997, the township was merged with the town, and Zhongyang Township remained unchanged. In 1999, the township government moved to the east of Linhe village, next to the original white road. The name of the township has not changed, so it is called Zhongyang Township People's government. At that time, the secretary was Guo Zhirong and the township head was Li Fuping.

There were three brothers surnamed fan. One of them settled here. According to the classification of Wuyang in Gu County, the village was among the Wuyang, so it was named Zhongyang. Xianyang is in the north, Guyang is in the west, Nanyang is in the south, Dayang is in the East, and Zhongyang is in the middle. Because this township is the central link to Yuanping, zigan, sulongkou, Guyang and other townships, and is located in hilly or semi hilly areas, it has always been known as "a place for military strategists".

In those war years, the people of Zhongyang rose up to resist Japan, defend their country, persevere and bravely resist the enemy. They fought against the Japanese aggressors to the death, and many revolutionary cadres and masses sacrificed their lives for them, which fully embodies the brave and heroic spirit of the Chinese nation. For example, "xiashentou village Massacre", "nanshentou village Massacre", "Zhiyu village Massacre" are the most powerful historical witness and the best moral education base.
