Evolution of organizational system in Yimen town

"Yimen District Records" records: "As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Yimen was a Chu fortress and was assigned to Chengfu County. In the tenth year of Tang Tianbao (AD 75 1 year), zhenyuan county was built. Because it is the hometown of Han, the filial son of the Liang people in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Ting in Bozhou established the Waizhangsi here, and got the nickname of "Hometown of Apollo". In the third year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (AD 1864), Yimen was ruled by Guoyang County. " Yimen has Yimen in front of Bailong Temple, which was built in Sui Dynasty and destroyed in Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty.

Zhenyuan county, established in the tenth year of Tang Tianbao, was burnt down by the war in the Anshi Rebellion, leaving only one instrument gate in zhenyuan county. Therefore, later generations called it "Yimen Town". Yimen is commonly known as "Temple Collection" because there were many temples here in ancient times. In the Qing Dynasty, in order to avoid Xuan Tong's taboo, the "Yimen" was changed to "Xuanmen". After the founding of the Republic of China, it was also called Yimen.

After the liberation war, although the overall area has not changed, the division of Yimen has changed several times. 1948 Yimen district was established, which belongs to Guoyang county (at this time Guoyang county belongs to Fuyang area), and the whole district governs one town and six townships. 1954, one town and thirteen townships; 1958, one town and four townships; At 196 1, there is a regional cooperative; 1970, there is a regional cooperative; 1979, the last time to build a regional cooperative. After the completion of this area, the whole area of Yimen District is gourd-shaped, with short east-west and long north-south (east to Yangsanguan Temple; West to Zhang Ying, facing Haoxian across the ditch; North to Wangdianzi, adjacent to the archway; South to the village, bordering on the standard). * * * governs five clubs and one town in the whole region, among which Yimen Town is the main town. In the large-scale administrative division adjustment action of "withdrawing districts and merging townships" in the 1990s, Yimen Town was divided into independent towns, and its administrative level was only half a level lower than that of the county level, so it was the highest administrative level town in Guoyang County. At the same time, with the establishment of Bozhou, the subordinate relationship of Yimen Town is also.
