Historical evolution

It is a famous historical and cultural town in Shanxi Province and the first of the four ancient towns in Liulin County. In the biography of Mu Tianzi, there is a record that the king of mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty saw the queen mother of the Western Zhou Dynasty passing by and "ascended to mengmen in the north". There are also Longshan cultural sites. During the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, it was Lin, the border town of the state of Zhao. In the third year of Yuanshuo (126 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty granted his prince Xi as Marquis Lin; in the fourth year of Yuanshuo (125 BC), he set up Xihe county. In the first year of Xiangxiang in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (579), Dinghu county and Dinghu county were established. In the third year of Wude (620), xidingzhou was established; in the second year of Zhenguan (628), xidingzhou was abolished and Hu County was changed into mengmen County; in the seventh year (633), mengmen county was abolished and mengmen town was established; in the eighth year (634), mengmen town was abolished and Dinghu county was restored. It is the political, economic and cultural center of Liulin, Lishi, Linxian (the southern part of Linxian Sanjiao, including Qikou ancient town) and Wubao County of Shaanxi Province. Until the Jin to Yuan Dynasty (1264-1294), mengmen county was abolished. The two capitals of Qingmen and Wenbei, which originally governed Hedong, were assigned to Shizhou; the two capitals of Zhaoxian and Yiju were assigned to Linxian; the two capitals of Yuanyuan and Fulu were assigned to Ningxiang (now Zhongyang). Most of these two cities were assigned to Liulin when Liulin County was set up in 1971; the Hexi part was assigned to Wubao, Shaanxi. Set up inspection department in mengmen county. Before that, he had been a county and prefecture governor for more than 700 years. In 1723, the Yellow River flooded and mengmen was flooded. In the 22nd year of Daoguang (1842), on June 16, a rainstorm fell and the Yellow River flooded. The ancient city of mengmen "boats on the streets and waves on the city". Most of the eight sceneries of Nanshan Temple were destroyed. In the sixth year of Xianfeng (1856), due to days of torrential rain, Lianyun Guangxia in mengmen town fell into torrential waves. More than 200 caves and more than 1000 houses were washed away by water. According to the records of Liulin County annals, mengmen had more than 1000 mu of River land and planted mulberry dates. Textiles are sold on both sides of the Yellow River, which leads to the "Silk Road" in the West. Since then, the market trade moved to zaomaoshang village, one kilometer south of the former mengmen ancient city. The masses rely on hand digging coal to transport charcoal, planting mulberry to raise silkworms, and selling red dates to rebuild their homes. There are also many people who sell their labor for a living, such as trackers, boaters, and animal herders. Therefore, mengmen still retains some Ming and Qing dwellings. Relevant experts say that it is almost a miracle that mengmen can rise again in a short time after being destroyed by the Yellow River many times! In 1958, the Management Committee of mengmen people's commune was established in Zaomao, so the village was named mengmen. On the night of August 12, 1964, there was a torrential rain along the Yellow River. The Yellow river overflowed and the two communes of mengmen and Jundu were seriously destroyed. In 1977, the protection dams of mengmen and Jundu Yellow River were washed down.

We should vigorously develop large-scale breeding industry, expand the scale of chicken and pig breeding, and actively develop beef cattle, captive sheep and other breeding industries.
