Population Ethnicity

[edit]

Jingjiang has a population of 660,000, with a population density of nearly 1,000 people per square kilometer, making it one of the most densely populated areas in Jiangsu Province.

Before the first year of the Three Kingdoms-Wu Chiwu (238), Jingjiang was a sandbar in the Yangtze River, and there was no human presence then. It was only later when Sun Quan's troops herded horses here that the area began to be populated. Later, farmers from abroad came here to cultivate the land and settled here, and they became the ancestors of the people of Jingjiang.

After the Song Dynasty, the population of Jingjiang increased significantly. In the fourth year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1130), the Jin soldiers invaded the Central Plains, and Yue Fei led his army to resist. In Taizhou, Yue's army fought with the Jin soldiers, and because Taizhou was undefended, Yue Fei retreated his troops to the Taixing crossing, and later to Yinsha (i.e., Mashangsha). In this process, there are a large number of Jianghuai refugees with Yue Fei retreat, they came to Yinsha, see here fertile land, abundant water and grass, they settled here. It is said that the population of several big surnames of Zhu, Liu, Chen and Fan in Jingjiang now is their descendants.

Jingjiang's population was recorded from the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty (1471). The county was established in this year, and the household register was set up in the second year, with 7,898 households and 36,951 people in Jingjiang***. However, during the following 100 years, the population grew slowly. Ming Longqing six years (1572), Jingjiang 9,514 households, 41,755 people, only than the establishment of the county increased by 1,525 households, 4,804 people. Another 40 years later, that is, the forty-first year of the Ming Wanli (1612), the population not only did not increase, but decreased, only 9,627 households, 33,465 people, 7,290 people less than the Longqing six years. The reason for the decrease in population was, firstly, floods and secondly, epidemics. Flooding is the main natural disaster in Jingjiang, at that time, Jingjiang water conservancy conditions are poor, flood control and drainage capacity is weak, every big water, the people suffered greatly. For example, in the first year of Ming Jiajing (1522), a flood on July 23, drowned tens of thousands of people at once. On the first day of the sixth month of the third year of the Ming Dynasty (1569), "the tide rose greatly, and the tide was like the sea," drowning more than 10,000 people. After the flood was the plague, the epidemic came, "the dead together", "the dead than the household", some of the whole village on all the people died. There were also wars. For example, during the Japanese invasion in the Ming Dynasty, many people died in Jingjiang.

Qing dynasty Qianlong years, Jingjiang population increased to 120,214 people, to the Qing dynasty Tongzhi four years (1865), and increased to 244,312 people, 100 years, the population doubled. There are several reasons for this: First, the Qing Dynasty Shunzhi after the "Kangqian Sheng Shi", the country is strong, economic development, people's lives are stable, and is conducive to the reproduction of the population. Secondly, during this period, Jingjiang did not have war, the people get rest and recuperation. Especially during the Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty, the Taiping Army marched into Jiangnan, and during the war, the people in Jiangnan either died in large numbers or fled, and many of them fled to Jingjiang. In other words, during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom War, the population of Jingjiang not only did not decrease, but increased. Third, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Jingjiang along the river area of the beach continues to extend the rise, arable land expansion, foreign farmers have come here to settle. Fourth, Jingjiang's geographic location, convenient transportation, many people came to Jingjiang to do business and settle down. So now Jingjiang people, ancestors are Anhui, Zhejiang, Chongming, Changzhou, Yangzhong, Taixing, Nanjing, Pixian accounted for a certain percentage.

The first year of the Republic of China (1912) to 1949, the population of Jingjiang once again slow growth, or decline. 1912, the population of Jingjiang 334272 people, 1949 for 371,125 people, thirty-six years in only 36,853 people. The reason is mainly because of the war for many years, the people live in deep water, a large number of population reproduction is impossible.

After the liberation, the population of Jingjiang increased rapidly, to 1970, has increased to 544852 people. The large increase in population was a reflection of the happiness of the people's life, but at the same time, it also became a constraint on economic development. after the 70's, family planning was practiced, and the proportion of population growth was more scientific. at the end of 1994, the population of Jingjiang was 657,192 people.

History

[edit]

Jingjiang was founded as a county in the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty (1471), and has a history of 524 years.

In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no land here, only a torrential river, which protruded into a solitary mountain named Lone Mountain. Later, due to the river tide of the wash, at the foot of the Lone Mountain gradually raised a piece of sandbar. Sandbars and connected into a piece of land, the land, and later people called "horse pack sand". Why call "horse pack sand" and not other names? This mystery, until fifty-three years after the establishment of the county, that is, the Ming Jiajing three years (1524 years) to be unveiled.

That year, a Jingjiang county magistrate named Yi Gan went to Xisha to inspect the area, and when he came to Jiaoshan Harbor (today's Dongxing Township), he found a broken stele with a few lines of inscriptions vaguely visible, one of which reads: "This is the sand where Emperor Wu Daji herded his horse ......." The Emperor Wu was Sun Quan, the ruler of the state of Wu, and this was the first time that he had ever been in the area. Sun Quan, the king of Wu, which indicates that during the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan's troops had herded horses here. This discovery solves two big problems: first, it confirms that during the Three Kingdoms period, there was already a piece of land here, and began to have a human population; second, to clarify why this piece of land is called "horse pack sand". The original Jingjiang dialect, "pastoral" and "white", "big" and "pack" are harmonized, said blackmail, put the The name of the place is.... The name "Mako Dasha" was mistaken for "White Horse Packing Sand", and over time, it was shortened to "Horse Packing Sand". As a result of the "horse sand" this name, other and "horse" related aliases, also appeared successively, such as horse island, ji river, ji islet, pastoral city and so on. Among them, Ma Zhou and Gijiang, until now also as Jingjiang alias in use.

Song dynasty, "horse pack sand" was renamed "yinsha", the yuan dynasty and re-said "horse pack sand" renamed "yinsha ", because it is located in the north of Jiangyin. "Mashansha" changed to "Jingjiang", is in the Ming Chenghua seven years when the county was established. At this time, Mashansha was under the jurisdiction of Jiangyin, and was administered by the governor of Jiangyin. However, after more than a thousand years of development, the face of Mashansha has been very different from the past: its territory has expanded, the population has increased, and the economy has gradually developed, which requires a corresponding administrative organization to manage. What's more, it was located at the riverside and was often harassed by sea pirates. Although there is Jiangyin jurisdiction, but the two places after all, separated by the Yangtze River, the maintenance of law and order has many inconveniences. In view of the above reasons, Yingtian (Nanjing) governor Knee Zhao then wrote to the court, suggesting that the Mashansha from Jiangyin out of a separate county. He put forward the reason for the establishment of the county is that this place "in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the gateway to the river and the sea, defending the whole of Wu, known as the town". Although the importance of the military, but said very precisely, very full, and therefore quickly approved by the court.

From the North and South Dynasty to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the horse pack sand a place two attached, the southern Makoma small sand attached to Jiangyin, the northern Makoma Dasha first attached to Hailing, then attached to Taixing. Ming Hongwu two years (1369) all attached to Jiangyin; Chenghua seven years (1471), the Royal Secretary Teng Zhao tour of Nanki, said that the Makansha "land across the Yangtze River, for taxation, service corvée, all things in the eupharmonic, more than risking the wind and waves, in order to serve the period of the appointment for the non-convenience, and the number of people depending on the past has been increased", and "the land belongs to the Jinling Downstream, and anti-river and sea portals, defending the whole Wu standing town", and to "river and sea police, choke its stronghold; production class Jiangnan, field tax mu of inputs heavier than Yangzhou" and other factors, so play sub-Jiangyin's Mashang sand.

1. Jingjiang dried meat. The first place is well deserved. It is really too famous, do not want to say more. There are several brands, the most delicious, the most expensive when the number of "double fish", is the Jingjiang people's reservation program, the first brand, a single box and gift boxed two kinds. Legend has it that Suzhou and Shanghai people only recognize "Double Fish". As a result of the technology leakage, resulting in many kinds of dried meat on the market now. When you eat congee with minced dried meat, it's a great way to get away with it.

2. Yangtze River three fresh: swordfish, anchovies, river fish. Swordfish is also too famous, and the price is not expensive, not to mention. Yellowtail has been extinct, also do not mention. River fish, now on the market are almost all farmed, toxicity is small, meat quality is still good. River fish is highly toxic, eat the chef face first taste, nothing before moving chopsticks, but when eating wild, or someone was poisoned, the fish poison is nerve paralysis, the effect is fast, high mortality rate. Visceral blood and ovaries are generally y buried said. But because of the delicious flavor, there is a "fight to eat puffer fish" said. In short, the "Yangtze River three fresh" has existed in name only.

3. Crab roe soup dumplings: Mrs. Mrs. too famous. With Jingjiang local saying: out of Jingjiang, all the soup dumplings are blasphemy to the soup dumplings. In Nanjing Zhongshan Road, Zhongshan Building next to there was a, but for some reason, demolished. Even once had the honor to see the practice of soup dumplings: the skin should be top quality. Crabmeat, crab meat + broth boiled into agar, cooled with the skin wrapped, to leave no gaps, otherwise in the steam will be exposed. There is a motto for eating soup dumplings: lift gently, move quickly, open the window first, suck the soup later. Add vinegar and ginger, superior flavor, this year's New Year's Eve when I also ate Oh, by the way, the most famous is the Hongyun Hotel's soup dumplings. Legend has it that when Qianlong ate it, he ate the soup dumplings as if they were buns, and as a result, his dragon's mouth was scalded by the hot soup, but he still lingered on.

4. indica porridge. More popular than the above. In this kind of season, when I was small, sitting on a small bench in the yard to cool down and drink congee, with a bubbling oil salted duck egg, immensely cozy. ps: indica congee without alkali is white, only with alkali will be red. More alkali will be astringent, and very red, not good. Jingjiang has a saying: "indica porridge irrigation, raised like a pot of pot".

5. old juice chicken. Another civilian food. The secret recipe of the old juice is specially formulated, even do not understand that. The most famous is the one in the town of Jixi, Jingjiang.

7. Leavened (Jingjiang read gao) bakery. I like it very much. Big as a basin, saucer-shaped, brown, sesame, chewy.

8. Maqiao wontons. Wonton filling is very delicate, to pork and greens, leeks and spinach filling, basically each wonton has a freshwater shrimp, not shrimp Oh, flavorful, wonton skin is very thin, add green onions, salt, monosodium glutamate (MSG), a little soy sauce and pepper to make soup, it is best to have a lard, excellent. Because the earliest from the town of Maqiao, and named Maqiao wontons, is now popular in Jingjiang, to the province.

9. braised hoof. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what you are doing and how you are doing it. My family is concerned about the fire stew, sweet but not greasy, another excellent product.

10. hand-rolled noodles. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have the right amount of food to eat. For those who don't like noodles, this noodle is big enough. It is said that there is a noodle store near Yuwabashi Bridge

that has a very good reputation.

11. In layman's terms, it is glutinous rice flour stuffing, the size of an egg, cooking method with wontons, must be necessary for Chinese New Year festivities. Sesame filling,
