History and Culture

【Historical Background】

Yingkou belonged to the State of Yan during the Warring States Period and to Liaodong Prefecture during the Qin Dynasty. In 195 BC, the Western Han Dynasty established 18 counties in Liaodong Prefecture, including Pingguo County in the south of Yingkou and Anshi County in the north. According to the Fengtian Tongzhi, Wen County and Fang County were also located in Yingkou (but their current locations are still difficult to determine).

During the Three Kingdoms period, Yingkou was called Liaokou, and during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was called Lilinkou. During the Three Kingdoms, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Yingkou area was successively ruled by the Gongsun regime of the Han nationality, the Murong regime of the Xianbei nationality, and the Goguryeo regime. Pingguo County and Anshi County were established but not abolished. Wen County (changed to Wen County in the Eastern Han Dynasty) was moved to Qi County (now in Shandong Province) by the Cao Wei regime in 240 AD, and Fang County was changed to a vassal state of Liaodong. The Later Yan regime moved the seat of Pingzhou to Pingguo County in 385 AD.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan, Jurchen and Mongolian regimes in the north changed successively, and local governments were set up in Yingkou City. Liao moved some prefectures and counties of Bohai State to Yingkou area, set up Luzhou to govern Xiongyue County in Xiongyue Town, set up Tiezhou to govern Tangchi County in Tangchi Town, Yaozhou to govern Yanyuan County, Guizhou to govern Guisheng County, and set up Hesuguan Dawangfu and Chenzhou to govern Jian'an County. Jin changed Chenzhou to Gaizhou, governing Jian'an, Xiongyue and Tangchi counties, and abolished the remaining prefectures. At the same time, the Jurchens set up four Meng'an, namely, Belimai, Bendeshan, Anchun and Hesuguan, and several Moukes were set up under Meng'an. Jin only set up Gaizhou to govern Jian'an County in its territory, and abolished the rest.

In the Ming Dynasty, prefectures and counties were abolished and replaced with guards. The southern part of Yingkou belonged to Gaizhou Guard, and the northern part belonged to Haizhou Guard. Yingkou was called Liangfangkou at that time. In 1621, the Later Jin occupied the Yingkou area and stationed troops in Yaozhou (now Beiyuezhou Village, Dashiqiao Town) as the center. In 1644, the Qing Dynasty governed the Han and Manchu people separately. Haicheng County was established in the north of Yingkou area, and Gaiping County was established in the south to govern the Han people; a deputy governor was established in Xiongyue to govern the Manchus in various parts of the Liaodong Peninsula; and defense lieutenants or city defense lieutenants were established in Xiongyue, Gaiping, and Niuzhuang to manage the affairs of the Eight Banners. In order to prevent the "Land of Dragon Rising" from being desolate, the Qing government recruited people from Shandong to Yingkou in 1651 (the eighth year of Shunzhi). In 1688, the Qing government settled the Barhu Mongols in Yingkou. The Barhu people lived in shacks, which were connected to each other and looked like military camps, so they were named Yingzi. The tidal ditch in Yingkou dries up when the tide goes out, and is submerged in water when the tide comes in, so it is called Meigouying.

On May 24, 1861, Yinglao Senkou replaced Niuzhuang as the first port city in the three northeastern provinces to be opened to the outside world. In 1866, the Qing government set up the Fengjinshan Customs Military Preparation Road in Yingkou; in January 1867, the Yingkou Coastal Defense Tongzhi Office was established to be responsible for coastal security. In 1909, the Qing government set up the Yingkou Direct Office, and transferred the three townships of Haicheng County and one township of Gaiping County to the jurisdiction of the Yingkou Direct Office. In 1913, the Yingkou Direct Office was renamed Yingkou County, and its jurisdiction extended to Lanqi in the south, Dashiqiao in the east, Bohai Sea in the west, and Dawa in the north.

In 1914, the Republic of China government changed the name of the Southern Route Observation Commissioner to Liaoshen Dao, which governed 22 counties including Yingkou, Gaiping, Haicheng, Liaoyang, Shenyang, Tieling, Kaiyuan, Zhen'an (now Heishan County), Beizhen, Xinmin, Jinxian, Jinxi, Xingcheng, Suizhong, Panshan, Tai'an, Yixian, Zhangwu, Dongfeng (now in Jilin Province), Xifeng, Xi'an (now Liaoyuan City, Jilin Province) and Liaozhong. In 1923, the municipal office was established in the commercial port area of ​​Yingkou. In September 1931, the Japanese invaders occupied the Northeast, and Yingkou became a colony (until it was liberated on August 15, 1945). In May 1938, the Japanese puppet government changed the name of Yingkou County to Yingkou City, which was divided into 8 districts.

Yingkou was liberated in 1948. In November 1958, Gaiping County, Yingkou County and Panshan County were placed under the jurisdiction of Yingkou City. In January 1966, Panshan County was placed under the jurisdiction of Panjin Reclamation Area. In June, Gai County and Yingkou County were placed under the jurisdiction of Liaonan Special Administrative Region. In May 1968, Gai County, Yingkou County and Haicheng County were placed under the jurisdiction of Yingkou City. In 1973, Haicheng County was placed under the management of Anshan City. In November 1975, Panshan County and Dawa County were placed under the jurisdiction of Yingkou City. In January 1985, Panshan County and Dawa County were placed under the jurisdiction of Panjin City. So far, Yingkou City has jurisdiction over Gai County, Yingkou County, Zhanqian District, Xishi District, Laobian District and Bayuquan District. In November 1992, Gai County was renamed Gaizhou City (County) and Yingkou County was renamed Dashiqiao City (County).

【Important historical events】

Boxer Rebellion in Yingkou

In 1868 (the seventh year of Emperor Tongzhi's reign in the Qing Dynasty), British priests William Penn and John Rowe came to Yingkou to preach, and later founded the Chinese Christian Church (now Yanshouli, Xishi District). In 1870 (the ninth year of Emperor Tongzhi's reign in the Qing Dynasty), British priest John Comey established the Yingkou Christian Church, and later built the Christian Church. In 1872 (the eleventh year of Emperor Tongzhi's reign in the Qing Dynasty), French missionary Father Simeon came to Yingkou to preach, and later built the Yingkou Catholic Church (now Batiandili, Zhanqian District). This later aroused the anti-foreign religion sentiment among the people of Yingkou.

On June 20, 1900, the Boxers' anti-imperialist posters (leaflets) appeared in Yingkou, which read: "Because the Lord Jesus deceived God and destroyed the saints, and did not respect Buddhism, the heavens have subdued the clouds and rain, and sent down millions of divine soldiers to sweep away foreigners. If you don't treat foreigners well, there will be no heavy rain." It called on the people to "eradicate foreigners." Men organized the "Boxers" and women organized the "Red Lanterns." They practiced divine boxing every day and chanted the mantra: "The sky hits the sky gate and the earth hits the earth gate. If you want to learn divine boxing, please invite a master." They claimed that "the Boxers can protect the country and the people." In July, "Master Cao" and "Master Bao" came from Tianzhuangtai, bringing more than 50 members of the Boxers. They lived in the West Temple, the Old Master Temple, and the Fire God Temple, using the West Temple as their base camp, teaching boxing and practicing skills. From then on, the Boxers' activities spread throughout the cities and towns of Yingkou. They killed and expelled foreign missionaries, burned foreign churches, and demolished foreign railways.

On the morning of July 26, 1900, 500 Russian infantrymen and 100 cavalrymen, carrying 4 heavy artillery pieces, marched from Dashiqiao to Yingkou. When they reached Taijiatun, they began to bombard the Wutaizi Fengjun barracks. The Fengjun commander Hu Zhixi and the training camp commander Qiao Ganchen led the soldiers to fight back against the Russian army together with the Boxers. The Boxers fought bravely and the Russian army was severely damaged and retreated at 10:30. Later, because Yingkou Daomingbao adopted a humiliating policy of surrendering to foreign countries, he did not make any defense preparations in advance, and colluded with Bao Luo, the tax commissioner of Yingkou Customs, to jointly prevent the provincial capital from sending reinforcements. In this way, the Qing army in Yingkou was unable to defend itself, and Yingkou fell under the attack of a large number of Russian and Japanese troops.

Urban planning layout and scale

The Yushi Reservoir and water diversion project built in Yingkou City, with a total investment of 590 million yuan, can solve the problem of insufficient urban water supply. The first phase of the urban sewage treatment project has a total investment of 210 million yuan. Five large flyovers and cross-line bridges have been newly built in the city, all of which have been completed and put into use. 27 new markets in the urban area, with a total investment of 600 million yuan, have been completed. Regional markets such as ceramics, decorative materials, textiles, and building materials have begun to take shape.

Aquatic resources:

Jellyfish ranks first in the country in terms of production and quality

Yingkou jellyfish is famous both at home and abroad. Jellyfish is a coelenterate, a large warm-water jellyfish with dioecious sexes. It lives near estuaries with semi-brackish and semi-fresh water and muddy bottom. The production area of ​​Yingkou jellyfish is distributed from the lower reaches of the Liaohe River estuary and Daqing River in the north to the coast of Guizhou in the south. The main production area is the Beihai Fishery in Tuanshan Town, whose output accounts for 60% of Gaizhou City. The main varieties are cotton jellyfish (bowl jellyfish) and sand jellyfish. Cotton jellyfish is delicious and tender, purple and white in color, and is the best among jellyfish, accounting for about 70% of the jellyfish population. The second is oil jellyfish and sand jellyfish. Sand jellyfish have thick meat, white color, no impurities, and are characterized by large size and weight. The largest sand jellyfish is like a millstone, weighing hundreds of kilograms. Since jellyfish were exported to foreign countries in 1973, the catch has increased year by year, with the city's annual catch reaching more than 10,000 tons, accounting for 32.7% of the total catch in Liaodong Bay. The output and quality of Yingkou jellyfish rank first in the country.

The earliest shrimp farming

Yingkou has a flat coastal mudflat, fertile water and rich bait resources, making it an excellent place for Oriental shrimp to spawn and reproduce. Yingkou has a long history of shrimp farming. Initially, it relied on the high tide to bring in natural seedlings for mixed farming of fish and shrimp, which was an extensive farming method. In 1974, Yingkou Fisheries Research Institute and Laobian District Seawater Farm cooperated to successfully carry out artificial spawning and hatching experiments on shrimp. In 1978 and 1979, artificial shrimp breeding and intensive breeding experiments were carried out, with a recovery rate of 94.4% and an average yield of 369.3 kg per mu, reaching the leading level in Liaoning Province. More than 600 million shrimp seedlings are bred each year, which are not only supplied to the city for breeding, but also to other cities. In 1983, the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries approved the establishment of Yingkou Proliferation Experiment Station, a Bohai Sea Fisheries Proliferation Scientific Experimental Base affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, in Yingkou. Research on shrimp resource proliferation technology, artificial shrimp seedling breeding and sea release proliferation experiments were carried out. The shrimp farming area in Yingkou has reached 33,511 acres, and the annual output has increased from 4 tons in 1981 to 2,268 tons now. Farmed shrimp has become one of the aquatic products with the largest output and the highest output value in Yingkou City in recent years.

The largest shrimp market

Hair shrimp is one of the main species of aquatic resources in Liaodong Bay. The annual catch is about 10,000 tons, and the highest annual output is 18,700 tons. The hair shrimp fishing season is from March to May and September to November every year. Yingkou City has become the distribution center for hair shrimp production in Liaoning Province. During the peak fishing season, fishing boats from Shandong, Hebei and other places and municipal fishery companies as well as coastal fishing villages come to fish. They are traded in the hair shrimp market. Yingkou shrimp skin has good processing quality and is very popular.

The only rainbow trout breeding base in Liaoning Province

Rainbow trout is a precious fish, native to the streams at the foot of Mount Shasta in California, the United States. It is the only cold-water fish species farmed in Liaoning Province. In April 1966, the Agricultural Bureaus of Yingkou City and Dashiqiao City (Yingkou County) imported 3,000 eyed rainbow trout eggs from Heilongjiang Province and successfully cultivated fry in the cold spring water of Shengshui Temple in Baizhai Town (commune) of Dashiqiao City. In October 1972, 499 fry were placed in a 400-square-meter pond in Xiangfang Reservoir of Jianyi Township (commune) of Dashiqiao City for breeding and domestication. In January 1973, 481 brood fish and large fish were caught from the pond, and the survival rate of fry was 96.2%. After two years, the Yingkou Fisheries Science Research Institute successfully achieved the self-breeding and self-propagation of rainbow trout from eyed egg cultivation to brood fish breeding, and passed the technical appraisal, reaching the domestic advanced level. In 1980, it won the first prize of Yingkou Science and Technology Achievement.

The afterglow of the sun shines on it, like sprinkling thousands of golden beads, which is spectacular; second, the raging tide of Rabbit Island. Xianren Island, also known as Rabbit Island, has cliffs that stand vertically into the sea. Looking down from the island, the waves crashing on the shore are breathtaking; third, there are many windmills. In recent years, dozens of wind turbines have been erected on Xianren Island, and the blades are flying in the wind, adding a beautiful scenery to Xianren Island. Various styles of holiday facilities have been built in the tourist area for people to carry out leisure and holiday tourism activities.
