Evolution of organizational system

Dongzhu is bounded by Taihu Lake in the West and Yangshan mountain in the East. In April 1980, the Wuxian cultural relics administration committee excavated the yaodun site in Yanma village, Dongzhu county. The stone tools, pottery and other cultural relics unearthed from the site were identified as relics of Liangzhu Culture in the middle and early period (the yaodun site was designated as a county-level cultural relics protection unit in March 1986). This is enough to prove that in the Neolithic Age 4500 years ago, the ancestors had lived and multiplied here. In the 11th century BC, Taibo and Zhongyong went to Jiangnan to establish Gouwu. In the first year of King Zhou Jian (585 BC), the 19th sun Shoumeng of Taibo succeeded to the throne and became King Wu. In the 25th year of the reign of the king of Qin (222 BC), the southern part of the Yangtze River was settled by Qin Ping, and Kuaiji county and Wu County were established. Dongzhu, located in the west of Wu County, belongs to Wu County. During the reign of Emperor Guangxu of Qing Dynasty (1875-1908), Wu County governed 16 townships and 25 capitals. Among the 8 townships, Wumen and Changzhou townships were merged into Lingyan and Xihua townships respectively (the remaining 6 townships were assigned to Taihu and Jinghu two halls, and the remaining 40 townships were mostly not in Taihu, while the remaining villages and wasteland were merged into the adjacent ones). Dongzhu territory is under the jurisdiction of two townships of fornix and Xihua in Wu County. In 1912, Wu County, Changzhou county and Yuanhe county were merged into Wu county according to the "Jiangsu temporary local system". It is divided into 7 cities and 21 townships, and the capital of Qing Dynasty is still used below the city and township. In November 1928, according to the instructions of Jiangsu Province, counties and cities were divided. 21 townships in 6 cities under the jurisdiction of Wu County are divided into 19 autonomous regions, with a total of 94 towns and 665 townships. The third district (Guangfu District) is composed of Guangfu and Xihua townships, and Dongzhu is under the jurisdiction of the third district (Guangfu District). In January 1931, the former Suzhou city was divided into 7 municipal districts and 3 Chengxiang districts (2 districts inside the city and 1 District outside the city). Wu county had jurisdiction over 22 districts and 855 townships. The third district (located in Guangfu) covers an area of 420 square miles and governs 5 towns and 34 townships, including Guangfu, Xihua and Dongzhu. Dongzhu Town, Xinfeng (Jianxin), Changxiang (Changxin) and Yangshan (Xinyang) townships are the first. In February 1934, the Jiangsu provincial government adopted the "measures for the consolidation of autonomous regions by counties in Jiangsu Province" to readjust the zoning and division of townships according to the area, household registration and economic status (500-1000 households per township). In June, the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs approved that Wu county should be divided into 13 districts. Three Chengxiang districts are combined into one district, 20 Township districts are combined into 12 districts, a total of 279 townships (105 towns and 174 townships). The third district (located in Guangfu) covers an area of 503 square Li (the former District 3 and 18 were merged), and governs 21 townships of Guangfu, Dongzhu and Xihua. Dongzhu is under the jurisdiction of the third district. In July of 1941, Wu County began to be "Qingxiang", and its regionalization was adjusted. The county is divided into 15 districts and 283 townships. Dongzhu is one of the 4 towns and 22 townships under the jurisdiction of the Sixth District (in Guangfu). In February 1947, Wuxian county was reorganized into districts and townships, and the original 13 district offices were abolished before February 15. On March 1, seven district offices in Suzhou, Wuxi, Huangdai, Yangcheng, Songnan, Dongshan and Xishan, and two instructor offices in Huguan and Songbei were set up. On June 1, Huguan and Songbei district offices were established, including 138 townships in 9 districts of the county. The former Second District (Mudu) and the third district (Guangfu) were merged into Wuxi District, and the District Department was located in shanrenqiao. Dongzhu is under the jurisdiction of Wuxi district. On April 27, 1949, Wu County was liberated. On May 1, the people's Government of Wu County was established and stationed in Hushuguan town. The county governs 8 districts and 48 townships (27 towns and 21 townships). Dongzhu town and Jianxin, Changxin and Xinyang townships are under the jurisdiction of Mudu district. In March 1950, Fengqiao, Weiting, Guangfu and Lumu were added. Dongzhu Town, Jianxin, Changxin and Xinyang townships are subordinate to Guangfu district. In March 1956, 108 towns of 8 districts and 2 counties in Wu County were divided into 57 towns of 6 districts and 2 counties. Guangfu district originally governed 2 towns and 11 townships, which were divided into 1 town and 7 townships. Among them, Dongzhu Township, Jianxin Township and Changxin Township were merged into Dongzhu township. Xinlu and Hexin villages in Pengshan township of Huguan district and Xinmin and Quanlong villages in Yangdong Township were divided into Xinyang Township, which is still under Guangfu district. In March 1957, the districts were withdrawn and the townships were merged (based on market towns and agricultural cooperatives). The original six districts, seven townships and two county towns of Wu County were merged into 23 townships and 23 towns. Among them, Dongzhu Township and Xinyang township of Guangfu district were merged into Dongzhu township (the administrative region of Dongzhu town), which is located in tiejianong, Dongzhu street. In October 1958, Dongzhu people's commune was established with the integration of government and society, and the system of social management brigade was implemented. The office is still located in tiejianong, Dongzhu street and moved to No. 22, Dongzhu street in 1962. In July 1983, the system reform was carried out, and the government and the community were separated. The rural people's commune, which was originally the integration of the government and the community, was retained as an economic entity, known as the commune Economic Joint Committee. The township government was restored and the people's Government of Dongzhu township was established. The village was managed by the township. Villagers' committees and groups were set up in the countryside to replace the production brigade and production team. on November 24, 1995, the township was removed to build a town as the people's Government of Dongzhu Town, Wuxian City, implementing the system of town governing village, and the residence was moved to the office building of the new government, No. 22, Zhuzhen road.
