Yancheng, a new city on the coast of central Jiangsu Province, faces Japan across the sea. It is blessed with unique geographical conditions, with rare animals and animals living in harmony with humans. It is an important part of the national coastal development strategy. Yancheng was established relatively late, with strong private and county economic strength, rich industrial structure and beautiful ecology. Most of the population in Yancheng are descendants of immigrants from the south of the Yangtze River in past dynasties, so the traditional culture and the psychological state of the people belong to the traditional south of the Yangtze River culture. Yanfu is a land of outstanding people and countless celebrities, including Lu Xiufu, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Shi Naian, the author of "Water Margin".

Location

The symbol of Yancheng - the crane Yancheng is located in the east of central Jiangsu Province, bordering the Yellow Sea to the east, Nantong City to the south, Yangzhou City and Taizhou City to the west and southwest, Huaiyin City to the north and northwest, and Guanhe River and Lianyungang City across the Huaihe River to the northeast. With a total area of ​​14,983 square kilometers (within the old seawall), it is the largest prefecture-level city in Jiangsu Province. The urban area covers 210 square kilometers; the total population is 7.9828 million (at the end of 2004), of which 1.52 million are in the urban area (810,000 in Tinghu District and 710,000 in Yandu District). The city has a flat terrain, crisscrossing rivers and canals, developed transportation, and rich products. It is known as the hometown of fishery and rice.

After more than 20 years of development since its establishment, Yancheng's economy has developed rapidly and is facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges. Jiangsu is shifting its economic focus from the riverside to the coast, and Yancheng is located in the center of the Jiangsu coast and has an excellent deep-water port. Moreover, as a city very close to Shanghai, after the opening of the Sutong Bridge, Yancheng entered the 2-hour economic circle of Shanghai. Coupled with the establishment of the Hangzhou Bay Bridge, Yancheng's relationship with Shanghai and Zhejiang has become closer. The municipal government proposed "to be Shanghai's back garden" with a view to Yancheng's huge development potential and excellent ecological environment. Moreover, the opening of the high-speed railway from Qingdao to Shanghai in the future will further promote Yancheng's leap. Yancheng has a well-developed transportation system, with a first-class Nanyang Airport in China, and highways connected to various parts of the country leading to coastal and inland provinces. Moreover, with the investment of Hong Kong businessmen in Yancheng in recent years, Yancheng has frequent trade exchanges with Hong Kong in recent years. Recently, a two-hour direct route between Yancheng and Hong Kong has been opened, which has accelerated the exchanges and development between the two places.

Place name research

Named after salt, with a long history

Yancheng was established as Yandu County in the 4th year of Yuanshou (119 BC) during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, there were salt-boiling pavilions and salt rivers everywhere. "Du" means the river for transporting salt. In the 7th year of Yixi (411 AD) during the reign of Emperor An of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was renamed Yancheng County, named after the "salt fields surrounding the city". Yancheng has experienced more than 2,000 years of historical sedimentation, and is full of rich sea salt culture. In ancient times, it was famous in China for its abundant production of "Huai salt" and was called "Huaiyi land" in ancient times. As early as the Warring States Period, people "boiled the sea to make salt". "Historical Records" recorded that "the East China Sea is rich in sea salt". During the Qin and Han Dynasties, "boiling the sea to make profits and digging canals for transportation" had become a prosperous place for fishery and salt. In the Tang Dynasty, the Huainan Salt Field, which was "the richest in the southeast and half of the border pay came from here", had "123 salt pavilions" in Yancheng alone. During the Baoying period of the Tang Dynasty, Hailing Prison and Yancheng Prison were set up in the territory, which boiled more than one million shi of salt every year. At that time, Yancheng had become an important salt production center on the southeast coast.

Yancheng is a veritable "Salt" City. Among the place names in various places, there are still names related to salt production and management such as "Tuan", "Zao", "Zong", "丿" and "Cang". "Tuan" is the production organization of the salt area, a production form of "grouping together to fry" by the stove households. Each salt field has several Tuan, and each Tuan has several stove households. In the old days, the place names with "Tuan" were mostly distributed in Dongtai and Dafeng in the ancient Huainan Salt Area, such as Nantuan, Xituan, and Biantuan. At present, Xituan Town in Dafeng is still preserved, and there are 18 villages and 48 natural village groups in the city whose place names are related to "Tuan". "Zao" is an important facility for stove people to fry salt. There are 6 towns named after "Zao" in the territory, including Touzao, Sanzao, and Sizao, and another 85 villages and 368 natural village groups are also named after "Zao". "Zong" is the unit where the stove people in the salt field live. In the early Ming Dynasty, there was a large-scale "Hongwu Dispersion". Immigrants came to the desert seaside to burn salt. In order to manage the scattered salt farmers on the coast, each field had a number of generals, in order of order. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, Dongtai Fu'an Salt Field had 30 generals. Today, there are still names such as the first general, the second general, and the third general in the names of coastal towns. There are also 7 villages and 37 natural village groups named "general" in the territory. "Cang" means salt warehouse. Biancang Town in Tinghu District, which is famous for its dead branch peony, was the location of Biancang of Wuyou Salt Field. There is also Dongtai Sancang Town, as well as 11 villages and 18 natural village groups named after "Cang". "丿" is one of the main production tools for salt farmers in the late Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. It is shaped like 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 with "丿" in the territory include Cao丿 Town in Dongtai and Pan丿 Town in Dafeng. There are also 6 villages and 13 natural village groups in the city that are also named with "丿".

History

Yancheng was a Huaiyi land before the Zhou Dynasty. It belonged to Qingzhou during the Zhou Dynasty, Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period, and later to Yue. It belonged to Chu during the Warring States Period. It belonged to Donghai County in the Qin Dynasty. It was the fief of Liu Chan, the Marquis of Sheyang, in the early Western Han Dynasty. Yandu County was built in the fourth year of Yuanshou of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which was the beginning of Yancheng County. It belonged to Wei during the Three Kingdoms period and the county system was abolished. The county system was restored in the Western Jin Dynasty. It was renamed Yancheng in the seventh year of Yixi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was the beginning of the current name. It was called Yancheng County in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It was still a county in the early Sui Dynasty and belonged to Jiangdu County. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Wei Che claimed to be the king of salt and divided it into Xin'an and Anle counties. Yancheng County was re-established in the early Tang Dynasty. It belonged to Chuzhou in the Song Dynasty. It belonged to Huai'an Road in the Yuan Dynasty. It belonged to Huai'an Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty. It was part of Jiangnan Province in the early Qing Dynasty. It was transferred to Jiangsu Province in the sixth year of Kangxi and belonged to Huai'an Prefecture. It belonged to the Tenth Administrative Supervision District of Jiangsu Province in the early Republic of China. In 1946, Yancheng was renamed Ye Ting City for a time, but later it was restored to its original name. The establishment of other counties: Funing County was established in the ninth year of Yongzheng's reign in the Qing Dynasty; Dongtai County was established in the thirty-third year of Qianlong's reign; in the middle of the Anti-Japanese War, four counties, namely Taipei, Yandong, Fudong and Jianyang, were established; Xiangshui County was newly established in 1966. In 1983, the new system of city-county management was abolished and implemented, with the urban area, suburban area and seven counties, namely Xiangshui, Binhai, Funing, Sheyang, Jianhu, Dafeng and Dongtai, under its jurisdiction. After 1987, Dongtai and Dafeng were successively established as cities. In 1996, the suburban area was abolished and Yandu County was established. In 2003, the urban area was renamed Tinghu District; Yandu County was abolished and Yandu District of Yancheng City was established. The administrative area of ​​Yandu District is the administrative area of ​​13 towns, namely Panhuang, Dazonghu, Beilonggang, Louwang, Xuefu, Yifeng, Shangzhuang, Gewu, Beijiang, Qinnan, Longgang, Guomeng and Dagang, in the former Yandu County, and the district people's government is located in Panhuang Town. Tinghu District administers the former urban area of ​​Yancheng City and the three towns of Bufeng, Wuyou and Biancang of the former Yandu County. The district people's government is located on Renmin Middle Road.

In 2007, the Jiangsu Provincial Government approved and agreed to transfer the Zhangzhuang Sub-district Office of Tinghu District, Yancheng City to the jurisdiction of Yandu District. This is the outline of Yancheng's historical changes.

Yancheng was a land in ancient times, but later it sank and became a coastal plain. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, fossils of ancient land organisms unearthed in the Xituan area of ​​Dafeng can be used to determine that Yancheng was already a land at least 20,000 to 30,000 years ago. The discovery of stone and bone tools in the Yangzhai area of ​​Funing County shows that at least in the late Neolithic period 4,000 years ago, there were traces of primitive tribal groups living on fishing and hunting in Yancheng. As early as the early Western Zhou Dynasty, Lu Hou Boqin ordered the Yan people to migrate south. On the way, some of the Yan people stayed in the Yancheng area and settled down. They can be said to be the early pioneers of Yancheng.

In the history of Yancheng, salt, fishing and agriculture were relatively developed, and it was especially famous for its Huai salt. Salt was boiled sporadically in the pre-Qin period. From the Western Han Dynasty to the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Huai salt has always been one of the main sources of income for the feudal dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, Yancheng was also one of the main export ports in my country. According to the records of the New and Old Book of Tang, the Korean monk Feng Dasheng, the King of Silla, Jin Shixin, the Japanese envoys Awata Zhenren, Ono Iwane and Abe no Nakamaro, all landed in Yancheng and went to Chang'an or went to sea. During the Hong and Wu years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to restore the coastal economy, large-scale immigration from Suzhou, Songjiang and other places came to Yancheng for reclamation, and the population of Yancheng increased greatly. Yancheng's handicraft industry is also quite developed. The iron smelting of the Zhou family in Jianhu, the fireworks of the Li family, the wood carvings of the Cao family in Dongtai, the feather fans of the Tang family, the mud colored sculptures in Binhai, the Xituanfa embroidery in Dafeng and the wooden hibiscus fabrics in Anfeng, Dongtai, etc., are famous between the Yangtze River and the Huai River.

The development of culture is in line with economic development. Yancheng is also a place of "humanities and culture". On the land of Yanfu, Chen Lin, one of the "Seven Sages of Jian'an" who was a great writer, was nurtured; Xu Daodu, a famous doctor in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and Feng Daoli, a water control expert in the Qing Dynasty; poets Wu Jiaji and Chen Yushu, calligrapher Song Cao, painter Wan Lan, and Liu Jingting, the founder of storytelling, appeared in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Jianhu's "Hundred Plays" enjoyed a high reputation in the Tang Dynasty, and the Qingfeng Eighteen Troupes was one of the three and a half birthplaces of acrobatics in my country. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Taizhou School with national influence, represented by Wang Gen from Anfeng, Dongtai, appeared. Many scholars and celebrities have appeared in Yancheng in modern and contemporary times.

Many people of noble character and national heroes have appeared in Yancheng's history. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng, a salt farmer from Caoyanchang, started his army in Baijuchang. Lu Xiufu, a native of Changjian Township in the late Southern Song Dynasty, was a Jinshi with Wen Tianxiang. He served as the left prime minister and fought against the Yuan Dynasty at Yashan. He carried the young emperor and jumped into the sea to die for his country. Wang Zhizhen, a famous general against the Qing Dynasty, was a capable staff member of Shi Kefa. In modern times, Ma Yuyuan resisted foreign invasions and safeguarded the interests and dignity of the Chinese nation while serving in Sanhe and Baodi counties.

Yancheng Introduction

Yancheng, located on the coast of the Yellow Sea, is the largest marine city in Jiangsu Province. Its coastline stretches 582 kilometers, accounting for 61% of the province's total coastline. Among the nine counties (cities and districts) under its jurisdiction, five counties (cities) such as Dongtai, Dafeng, Sheyang, Binhai and Xiangshui are close to the sea. Historically, the Yellow River flowed into the sea in Yancheng for more than 700 years, and together with the Yangtze River, a large amount of silt was deposited along the coast, creating a vast coastal plain. The interaction between land and sea has formed a diverse and unique coastal mudflat ecological environment, making the natural resources here have the characteristics of many types, large reserves and high development and utilization value.

The land resources are unique. To the east of the seawall built in the 1950s (commonly known as the old seawall), there are 4,559 square kilometers of coastal mudflats, which is equivalent to 4.26 times the area of ​​Hong Kong, 70% of the mudflat area in Jiangsu Province, and one-seventh of the mudflat area in the country. As the Yangtze River continuously transports sand to the sea, part of it accumulates off the coast of Yancheng, causing the mudflat area of ​​Yancheng to continue to silt up and rise to the sea at a rate of 1,300 hectares of land per year. According to the natural landform characteristics, the coastal mudflats of Yancheng City are divided into three parts: supratidal zone, intertidal zone and offshore radiation sandbar. Among them, the supratidal zone is located between the old seawall and the average high tide level, with a total area of ​​1,677 square kilometers; the intertidal zone is located between the average high tide level and the low tide line of the spring tide, with a total area of ​​1,614 square kilometers; in the shallow sea area east of Gangzhen, Dongtai City, there are more than 70 radiation sandbars such as Dongsha, which radiate eastward and southeastward with the port as the radiation point, with a total area of ​​1,268 square kilometers. This natural phenomenon is rare in the world. The coastal tidal flats in Yancheng are muddy coasts with flat terrain, superior natural properties, and rapid natural desalination and halophyte evolution. It is a natural treasure land with huge development potential. After visiting the coastal tidal flats in Yancheng, Mr. Li Zhensheng, former vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, concluded: "The coastal tidal flats in Yancheng are the first choice for my country to increase large areas of arable land and significantly increase the effective supply of grain, cotton, oil, meat, etc."

There are many kinds of biological resources. Yancheng has a vast coastal beach with lush natural vegetation. More than 10 large rivers flow into the sea through the beach. The water quality of the coastal waters is fertile, which is a good place for various plants to grow and various animals to live, forage, reproduce and grow. More than 160 species of offshore floating and fixed plants have been identified; terrestrial resource plants are divided into five categories: fiber, medicinal, spices, oils and fats, and feed, totaling more than 500 species, belonging to more than 100 species and more than 400 genera. The more precious ones are Polygonum multiflorum, Spearmint, Apocynum, and Lemongrass. There are more than 550 species of offshore and intertidal fish, shrimp, crab, and shellfish, among which there are many precious species. The reserves of intertidal mollusks reach more than 40,000 tons. The main economic species are four-cornered clams, green clams, mud snails, tongue clam, bamboo clams, etc. The reserves of clams, which were praised by Emperor Qianlong as "the most delicious in the world", are large and have high economic value. There are also plum fish, hairtail, large yellow croaker, four-gilled perch, swimming crab, imitation shrimp, Japanese shrimp, and the production of eel fry with extremely high economic value ranks first in the country, with an average annual catch of 7 tons and a peak of 15 tons. There are 357 species of terrestrial vertebrates, and the internationally recognized endangered species include red-crowned cranes, black-headed gulls, white-headed gulls, white storks, white-naped cranes, etc. Two nature reserves covering an area of ​​12,000 hectares have been established on the mudflats, one for red-crowned cranes and one for elk. The number of red-crowned cranes that come here to spend the winter each year has increased from more than 300 to more than 1,000, accounting for about half of the world's total number; the 39 elks shipped back from the UK have multiplied to more than 400, making it the world's largest wild stocked population.

The conditions of light, heat and water are superior and unique. The Yancheng tidal flats are located in the humid monsoon climate zone that transitions from the northern subtropical zone to the warm temperate zone. They are significantly affected by the marine climate, with a mild climate, abundant light and heat, a long frost-free period, and rain and heat in the same season. The annual average temperature is 14 degrees, the annual sunshine is 2,300 hours, the annual rainfall is about 1,000 mm, and the frost-free period is 220 days. It is a multi-suitable climate, which is conducive to soil desalination and improvement, and also provides conditions for the growth and development of animals and plants, wintering and summering, and high-quality and high-yield production. In addition to a huge amount of seawater resources, which is extremely suitable for the development of sea salt, seawater aquaculture and marine biochemical industry, the coastal tidal flats in Yancheng City are also rich in freshwater resources. The territory belongs to the Huaihe River system and the Yishu River system, with a dense river network, an average annual precipitation of 6.5 billion cubic meters, and the total amount of surface runoff and transit water resources can meet the development needs. There is basically no water shortage in normal years and general drought years.

The potential of port and shipping resources is huge. Yancheng has 12 sea ports. According to experts, most of the ports have wide and deep coastal waters, straight navigation channels with good bottom quality, no freezing all year round, small waves, good berthing conditions, and little impact from typhoons and sea fog. Most of the shore sections have vast land areas, abundant land for port construction and storage, and good distribution conditions. Many ports with berths of 50,000 to 100,000 tons can be built. The Guanhe River in Xiangshui County is known as the "Jiangsu Huangpu River". It is the only river in northern Jiangsu that flows into the sea without a sluice. The port is wide and deep, and the riverbed has not changed much. It has been the channel for Huai salt to go out to the sea since ancient times. At present, Chenjia Port, Binhai Port, Sheyang Port, Dafeng Port, etc. are all under construction.

It is a prefecture-level city in Jiangsu! In northern Jiangsu!

Yancheng is a prefecture-level city bordering Xuzhou and Suqian.

It's a good place
