Historical evolution

According to Lu Guangwei's Wu Di Ji in the late Tang Dynasty, there are 20 capitals in Wu County, of which Xihua is one. In 221 B.C., the first emperor of Qin unified China and carried out the system of prefectures and counties. Xihua (Zhenhu) belongs to Wu County. In the Han and Tang Dynasties, Suzhou and Wujun changed each other several times, but Xihua was under the jurisdiction of Wuxian. According to the records of Yuanfeng nine regions compiled by Wang Cun in Song Dynasty, Xihua township was set up in Northern Song Dynasty, which was subordinate to Wu County, and the old system was followed from Yuan Dynasty to Qing Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty, yexihua township was subordinate to Changzhou county. In 1912, Xihua was subordinate to Wu County. in 1928, the Rural Youth League bureaus were set up in Xihua and Changxiang townships, under which there were two affairs committees (MA she and sun she). in August 1929, the District, township and town system was implemented, and Guangfu and Xihua townships became the third (Guangfu) District of Wu County. In November 1937, Xihua was occupied. In March 1939, the governor's office of the puppet Wu County designated the township area, and Xihua established the township office.
