What was the name of Huilai County in Guangdong Province before the Qing Dynasty?

Huilai county was a land of hundreds of leaps and bounds in ancient times. Qin and Han Dynasties were under the jurisdiction of Boluo and Jieyang in Nanhai County. From the Jin Dynasty to the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it was under the jurisdiction of Chaoyang and Haifeng. In the third year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1524), half of Longjing Capital in Chaoyang County was analyzed for the first time. Dani Capital, Huilai Capital, Youtou Capital and Longxi Capital in Haifeng County were all located in Huilai County, hence the name. In the fourth year of Jiajing (1525), the city was built and named Huicheng. Because it is located in the southeast of Kuiling, it is also called Kuiyang. Kuitan Town, which has been the market place since ancient times, used to be called an old shop. On the north side of the old shop, there is a stone bridge on the Longxi River leading to the north bank, which is the only way for people to come and go. There is Bishuiyan Temple on the south bank, commonly known as "Dutou Temple". Students used to recite the poem "Clear water and quicksand are long". There is a deep pool (named "Guanyin Niangtan") and an ancient sunflower tree on the shore. Later, the old shop gradually expanded and was renamed Kuitan in the Ming Dynasty. "In the seventh year of Qing Yongzheng (AD 1729), Huilai County ordered Zhang to use Kuitan Township as the Fujian-Guangdong passage. The border is Chongshan, which is far away from the county seat, and it needs to be managed by the Commissioner. One member of the patrol should be stationed in Kwai Tan, and thieves should be arrested privately. If there is a car crash, it should be handled according to special circumstances. If the prisoner is deported along the way, if he goes to Guitan, the patrol will verify the declaration and send an escort, and it will delay him without detouring to the county seat. Specifically, it is allowed to appoint a patrol officer of Kwai Tan Company to write a letter, and his patrol officers will be added according to the quota. The required official food will be allocated by Taibei Mountain Post Office in silver. " (Excerpted from Qinghuilai County Records).
