In 221 B.C., the first emperor of Qin Dynasty ordered the construction of Chi road with Xianyang as the center and leading to all parts of the country the second year after he unified the six countries. According to research, Qinchi road passes through henghetou, Lujia village and other natural villages in the north of Xixiashu town. After the excavation of laomeng River to the Yangtze River in the 25th year of King Jing of Zhou Dynasty, King Fu Chai of Wu took over the throne of his father Helu. In order to compete with the state of Qi and the state of Jin for hegemony in the Central Plains, he ordered hundreds of thousands of migrant workers to dig a canal in the south of the Yangtze River, from Wangting of Suzhou through Wuxi all the way to Changzhou running cattle. Because of the high terrain of running cattle towards Danyang, the excavation was too difficult, so the canal turned a bend from running cattle to running cattle It runs through Xixiashu area in the north and connects with the Yangtze River from Menghe River, with a total length of 170 km. In the Western Han Dynasty, there was qilijing (the former name of Pudu). According to Chen Xuzhi, "from Jiangqiao to Lanling bridge". Therefore, the section of Lanling bridge from Jiangqiao village, where Puhe township is located, to the gate of Dongyue Temple in Wansui is called qilijing in ancient times. "Fengtu Ji" says: "at the beginning of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, he stayed by the well, and the people pointed to the way to reach the river margin, that is to say, he opened this Du." it was five feet wide and seven feet deep, and became Pudu. From laomengdu import and export, Zhenjiang in the west, Changzhou in the East, and sanchengqiao in Lucheng in the south. Therefore, Qinchi Road, Pudu road and Mengdu road became the main water and land transportation roads of ancient Xiashu.
