Jiangsu is shifting its economic focus from the river to the coast. Yancheng is in the center of Jiangsu's coast and has an excellent deep-water port. Moreover, as a city close to Shanghai, Yancheng entered the two-hour economic circle of Shanghai after the opening of Sutong Bridge. Coupled with the establishment of Hangzhou Bay Bridge, Yancheng has a closer relationship with Shanghai and Zhejiang. In view of Shanghai's huge development potential and good ecological environment, the municipal government put forward the concept of "being the back garden of Shanghai". Moreover, the opening of the high-speed railway from Qingdao to Shanghai in the future will further promote the leap of Yancheng. Yancheng has a well-developed traffic, with a first-class Nanyang airport in China, and expressways are connected with all parts of the country, leading to coastal and inland provinces. Moreover, with the investment of Hong Kong businessmen in salt in recent years, Yancheng has frequent trade with Hong Kong in recent years, and recently opened a two-hour direct flight with Hong Kong, which has accelerated the exchanges and development between the two places.

Geographical name exploration

Named after salt, it has a long history.

Duyan County has been established in Yancheng since the fourth year of Yuanshou in the Western Han Dynasty (BC 1 19). At that time, salt pavilions and salt rivers were everywhere, and "blasphemy" was the river that transported salt. In AD 7 (AD 4 1 1), the Eastern Jin Emperor Yi was renamed Yancheng County, which was named after the "salt field around the city". After more than two thousand years of historical precipitation, Yancheng exudes a strong sea salt culture everywhere. In ancient times, it was famous for its rich "Huai salt", which was called "the land with a bosom" in ancient times. As early as the Warring States period, there was a saying that "cooking the sea is salt", and "Historical Records" contained "the East China Sea is free of sea salt". During the Qin and Han dynasties, "cooking the sea for profit and crossing the canal for transportation" has become a prosperous place for fishing and salt. In the Tang Dynasty, there were only "123 salt pavilions" in Yancheng, Huainan Salt Field, which was "rich in the southeast and half out of the border". During the reign of Tang Baoying, there were Hailing Supervisor and Yancheng Supervisor, who cooked more than one million mangokus of salt every year. At that time, Yancheng had become an important salt production center in the southeast coast.

Yancheng is a veritable salt capital. Among the place names in various places, there are some names related to the production and operation of salt industry, such as Tuan, Zao, Zong, Tu and Cang. "Tuan" is a production form of "mining and frying" by production organizations in salt areas and kitchen households. Each saltworks has several regiments, and each regiment has several cooks. In the old days, the regiments were mostly distributed in Dongtai and Dafeng in the ancient Huainan salt area, such as Nantuan, Xituan and Biantuan. At present, there are still 18 villages and 48 natural village groups in Xituan Town, Dafeng. "Stove" is an important facility for people to fry salt. China has six towns, including Touzao, Sanzao and Sizao, and 85 villages and 368 natural village groups are also named after "Zao". "General" is the unit where the people of Yanchang live together. In the early Ming Dynasty, there was a large-scale "Hongwu exile", and immigrants came to the desert seashore to burn salt. In order to manage the cooks scattered along the coast, several places are in good order. During Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, there were 30 general managers in Dongtai Fuan Salt Field. Today, the names of coastal towns and villages still retain the names of "general", "general" and "general", and there are 7 villages and 37 natural village groups in China named after "general". "Cang", that is, salt storage, was once the temporary storage place of saltworks in Biancang Town, tinghu district, which is famous for dead peony. There is also Sancang Town in Dongtai, and the 1 1 village and 18 natural village group named after "Cang". Tuo is one of the main production tools for cooking salt in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Similar to an iron pot, slightly shallower than a pot, with a diameter of three feet and a depth of 3-4 inches. The towns and villages named after "Tuo" in China include Caotuo Town in Dongtai and Pantuo Town in Dafeng. There are also 6 villages and 13 natural village groups in the city with "Tuo" as the place name.

The development of history

Yancheng was the land of Huaiyi before the week; Zhou belongs to Qingzhou, Spring and Autumn belongs to Wu, and then to Yue. During the Warring States period, it belonged to Chu. Qin belongs to Donghai County; At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, Sheyang Hou and Liu were divided into fiefs, and the county was established in the fourth year of Emperor Yuanshou of the Han Dynasty, which was the beginning of Yancheng County. During the Three Kingdoms period, it belonged to Wei, and counties abolished it. The western Jin dynasty restored the county system; In the seventh year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yixi was renamed Yancheng, which is the beginning of its current name; The Northern and Southern Dynasties called Yancheng County; At the beginning of Sui Dynasty, it was still a county, belonging to Jiangdu County. At the end of Sui Dynasty, Wei Che was king according to salt, which was divided into two counties: Xin 'an and Anle, and Yancheng County in the early Tang Dynasty. The Song Dynasty belonged to Chuzhou; The Yuan Dynasty belonged to Huai 'an Road; The Ming Dynasty belonged to Huai 'an Prefecture; In the early Qing Dynasty, it was a part of Jiangnan province. In the sixth year of Kangxi, it was located in Jiangsu Province and belonged to Huai 'an Prefecture. At the beginning of the Republic of China, it was the tenth administrative supervision area of Jiangsu Province. 1946, Yancheng was renamed Ye Ting City, but its original name was still restored. Setting of other counties: Funing county was built in the ninth year of Qing Yongzheng; Dongtai county was built in Qianlong thirty-three years; In the middle of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, four counties were established: Taibei, Yandong, Fudong and Jianyang. Xiangshui County is newly built 1966. 1983, the new system of city governing counties was abolished, and seven counties including Xiangshui, Binhai, Funing, Sheyang, Jianhu, Dafeng and Dongtai were under its jurisdiction. After 1987, Dongtai and Dafeng successively set up cities. 1996, the suburbs were abolished and Du Yan county was established. In 2003, the city was changed to tinghu district; Du Yan County was abolished and Yandu District of Yancheng City was established.

Yancheng was a land in ancient times, and later Lu Chen became a coastal plain. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it can be confirmed that Yancheng became land at least 20,000 to 30,000 years ago. The discovery of stone tools and bone implements in Yangzhai, Funing County shows that there were traces of primitive tribal groups who lived by fishing and hunting in Yancheng at the latest in the late Neolithic period 4000 years ago. As early as the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the bird of the Emperor Lu ordered the Yi people to move south. On the way, some Yimin stayed in Yancheng to settle down. They can be said to be the early pioneers of Yancheng.

Salt industry, fishery and agriculture are developed in Yancheng history, especially the production of Huai salt. In the pre-Qin period, salt was cooked sporadically. From the Western Han Dynasty to the mid-Qing Dynasty, Huai salt was always one of the main financial resources of the feudal dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, Yancheng was also one of the main seaports in China. According to the old and new records of the Tang Dynasty, Korean monks named Sheng Da, Silla King, Jin Shixin, Japanese Ambassador Makoto Suta, Shi Gen of Xiao Ye and Ma Lu of Abe all landed in Yancheng and went to Chang 'an or went to sea. During the Hongwu period of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang immigrated from Suzhou and Songjiang to settle in Yanchang in order to restore the coastal economy, and the population of Yancheng increased greatly. Yancheng's handicraft industry is also quite developed. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zhou Yetie and Li Fang set off fireworks in Jianhu, Cao Shi woodcarving in Dongtai, down feather fans and clay sculptures in Binhai, Xituan hair embroidery in Dafeng, and Mufurong cloth in Anfeng, Dongtai, were all famous products between Jianghuai.

The development of culture is consistent with the development of economy. Yancheng is also a place where everyone gathers. On the land of Yanfu, Chen Lin, one of the "seven sons of Jian 'an" in Xiong Wen, was born. There was a famous doctor Xu Daodu in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and a water conservancy expert Feng Daoli in the Qing Dynasty. In Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were poets Wu Jiaji and Chen Yushu, calligrapher Song Cao, painter Wan Lan and storyteller Liu Jingting. Jianhu's "Hundred Dramas" enjoyed a high reputation in the Tang Dynasty, and the 18th Group of Qingfeng was one of the three and a half cradles of acrobatics in China. In the mid-Ming Dynasty, Taizhou School with national influence, represented by Dong Tai An Feng Wang Gen, also appeared. There are many literati and celebrities in modern Yancheng.

There have been many people with lofty ideals and national heroes in Yancheng history. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng, a salt farmer in Cao Yan saltworks, set out for Baijuchang. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Lu Xiufu was a fellow villager of Yancheng Changjian. He is a scholar on the same list as Wen Tianxiang, and he is Prime Minister Zuo. He fought the Yuan Dynasty on the cliff mountain and carried the young emperor to the sea to be a martyr. Wang Zhizhen in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty was the right-hand man of Shi Kefa, a famous anti-Qing fighter. Since modern times, Ma Yuzhen has resisted foreign invasions in Sanhe and Baodi counties and safeguarded the interests and dignity of the Chinese nation.
