The Historical Evolution of Simenqian Town

The front door of the company is commonly known as Longhui. In the past, the political and cultural center of Longhui was in front of the company, so it was really Longhui. This statement is not artificial, but has its widely circulated historical origin. Before the Tang, Yu, Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties recorded in history, a Zen master named Shoufu came to Wang Yun to look for a Buddhist kingdom. When I first came here, I thought the scenery here was very elegant. Looking around, I can see the remote southwest Wugang Yunshan, which is named Wang Yunshan. I wanted to settle at the top of the mountain, named Dingshantang. Once, when he walked from the saddle world to Baoqing by the bridge, a living dragon followed him. On the way, grandpa Shoufu found it and refused to let it go. He immediately hit a stick with his cane and hit the live dragon back. Its dragon grew up lying on the back of Wang Yun Mountain, and the dragon head reached the golden shovel gantry in Jintan, locking the living dragon, and named this vast hilly area "Dragon Back". He also gave a seal saying: "If the world is dry, the harvest here will be half, and if the world is chaotic, there will never be any worries here." Originally, Grandpa Shoufu planned to farm at the top of the mountain for a long time, but it was difficult to carry food from the foot of the mountain more than ten miles away. So he used magic to level the rugged mountain in front of the house and grow food in boiling water fields. One night, it suddenly rained heavily, and the flood rose higher and higher. When the dragon came out of the hole, he took advantage of the water and probably swallowed the house. Some monks were afraid of being washed away by the flood, so they immediately beat drums and rang bells. The flood soon subsided, leaving only a large piece of flat land, which was named "Yewengping" by later generations and became a monument. Later, Grandpa Shoufu looked at the top of the mountain, up and down, back and forth, left and right, and felt that it was not all directions, but only three sides. He felt that this was not a place for meditation and self-cultivation, so he packed up his luggage and left. The locals couldn't stay, so he sent a porter to escort him to the Jinzhou area of Guangxi. After leaving Wang Yunshan, Grandpa Shoufu looked back at the top of the mountain. All directions were sacred places in Baoshan, but suddenly. Knowing that I have no good luck to cultivate true immortals here, I have to "go out of five and not enter five" and look for famous mountains again. In order to repay Long Hui, Grandpa Shoufu sent the porter back on the road and gave him a paper bag. He repeatedly told him that he must go back to Longhui to open it. As soon as he turned around, the porter spent the night in Longtan. He ignored Grandpa Shoufu's instructions and couldn't wait to see Grandpa Shoufu's gift. He opened it and found a bag of excrement. He felt useless and left it in Longtan field. He felt that the aroma was so fragrant that he could hear it from far and near. The porter regretted it and left the newspaper. The land in Longtan is very fertile, so don't use chemical fertilizer to farm it. The porter returned to Beijing and threw the wrapped paper in Jintan, only to see golden light everywhere. Later, from Jinshan to Shiqiaopu, Simen and Jintan, there was gold everywhere. This is grandpa Shoufu's great kindness, Lilongchi and Longbei. In which dynasty did Grandpa Shoufu belong? There is no textual research. I don't know how many years passed. Qin Shihuang became emperor after unifying China. He wanted to live forever. So he sent people to famous mountains and holy places all over the country to find a panacea for immortality. Lu Sheng, a senior official, went to Wang Yunshan to look for an elixir and went into seclusion. It is said that Lu Sheng later ate Cao Xian (actually Lysimachia christinae) and ascended to heaven. The local people built a temple on the mountain, which is called "Lu Gong Xian Zhen". It's sunny when it's sunny, and it's obvious when it rains. Up to now, cigarettes continue to be worshipped. Tracing back to history, it was the land of ancient Jingzhou before the Zhou Dynasty, and the land of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The Qin Dynasty after 2 19 BC was under the jurisdiction of Changsha County, and the Han Dynasty after 206 BC was under the jurisdiction of Zhaoling County. After 220 AD, the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty belonged to Zhaoling County, and after 58 1 year, they all belonged to Shaoyang County of Baoqing. Among them, in the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, namely 1372, the "Longhui Inspection Department" was established here. The so-called "Longhui Eight Capitals" came into being. Because the yamen is located here, it is named "Simen".

There are some folk songs: first, pipe root line, second, pipe fan, third, pipe bar, fourth, pipe segment and fifth, pipe ring. The jurisdiction of "Badu" is: before the company, Yidu governed Jintan, Shiqiaopu, Sunjialong and Xiaoshajiang; Both have jurisdiction over Jinjing, Tuqiao, Gaozhou and Weixilong.

Ba Du Yushan North, Changfu, Gaotian North, Shuangjiang Bridge, north-central Shimen, north-central Taohuaping and other places. According to the economic characteristics, there is such a mantra: "One is full of houses, the other is full of grains, the third is full of miscellaneous grains, the fourth is full of pigs, the fifth is full of trees, the sixth is full of cloth, and the seventh is full of eight altars". In the 12th year of Daoguang reign, there was the name of "Longzhong Town" in front of Si Men.

Therefore, the title of "North Road of Shaoyang County in Baoqing, Hunan Province, in front of Yidu Temple" has a history of more than 500 years. The front door of the company has been in the political, economic and cultural center of Shaobei. Known as "the ticket in front of the official hat of Wei Duan, the shelf of Sun Jialong, and the stick of Shiqiaopu". 19 1 1 After the founding of the Republic of China, there were districts below the county level, before which there were "District 31 of Shaoyang County" and "District 9 of Shaoyang County" administrative systems. In the middle and late period of the Republic of China, the township Baojia system was established, and Longhui was divided into "eight townships and one town", that is, before Longhui township resident division, it was under the jurisdiction of Thirteen Guarantees, including Xiaoshajianghe.

Liu's Ancestral Hall and Li E in Liudu Zhaili were appointed as the first county magistrate. Since then, Longhui Township has been changed to Xinglong Township. The township office is still located in the yamen of the former inspection department, with a platoon of troops. The entrance of yamen is connected with a street called "Street" in history, and there are Yuefei Temple, police station, farmland, taxation, salt administration and other units on the left; There is a street on the right called "Restaurant Tian Street", and there is a street at the entrance of Simen called "Cross Street". Three streets form a brand, with active economy and prosperous business. Become the commercial road of Baoqing North Road.

Jurisdiction over Yidu, Duer, Sandu and Xiaoshajiang.
