Zhuzhou Evening News reporter/Wu Jingwen

It has always been believed that the business of Xujiaqiao has spawned the development of Zhuzhou, but recently communicated with several "old Zhuzhou" that the historical context of Zhuzhou's urbanization must be traced from the current Shizi Lake Park.

The vicissitudes of the sea. How did today's Zhuzhou City District formed step by step? What are the interesting changes during this period? Let's explore together.

Zhuzhou Jiancheng originated from military defense

In 215 AD, Sun Quan set up Jianning County, which was regarded as the origin of Zhuzhou Jiancheng.

Regarding the location of this ancient city, the poem "Jianning Once" written by the local poet of the Qing Dynasty (1787-1823) provided clues. He wrote poetry to the former site of Jianning, Jianning, and Division Pavilion at the time. Among them, "Jianning's Once" stated that "the Nian Nian Xing Grass Grass" was said, and the "dry grass" refers to the dry lawn. According to information such as "Zhuzhou City", the dry lawn is located in the current Shizi Lake Park.

"Xiangtan County Chronicle" records that as early as the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty (1861-1875), the mountains near the resident house surnamed in the dry lawn collapsed, and the bricks and tiles of the ancient city foundation and the Six Dynasties were also discovered.

On July 9, at noon, the sun was like a fire, but approaching Shizi Lake Park was cool. There is no wind, but the rich tree shade and sparkling lake surface naturally make life the idea of ​​livable.

However, the ancients who lived here did not necessarily think so. Related information records that there were once a day of water, which caused the farm to be a valley, and was called a drought (homophonic "desert") lawn by farmers.

Folklobs are often related to the royal family. Residents who have lived in the local area for decades recall that the dry lawn was originally called "changing the lawn". Change the lawn.

But from the perspective of Jiancheng, the military significance here is the most critical. During the Guangxu period, the "Xiangtan County Chronicle" stated that the establishment of Ning was for "Fangshu Xiangnan" and set up Jianning County, which was built as Wu Guo's defense fortress for Shu.

Interestingly, in 257 AD, Jianning County was relocated to Putian Town, Laotou District to form a new city. By 266, it was relocated to the old place.

From "“ 从 "to" Zhuzhou "or too busy due to the wine tax business

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, due to the north of the National Political and Economic and Cultural Center, and the wide place, Jianning County was withdrawn and was merged into Xiangtan County and Youxian.

Zhuzhou's rise again thanks to the development of the Song Dynasty's industrial and commercial development. At this time, Zhuzhou's central urban area was near Zhu Tianpu. Peng Xuekai, the chief expert of Zhuzhou City Place Research, said that according to relevant historical materials and visited on the spot, he believed that at that time, Zhuzhou gathered in the city of Zhu Tianpu, and in the early days of the Southern Song Dynasty, he had become a famous town. In addition, on the official drawing of the first year of the first year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1208), it has been clearly labeled "Langzhou City". It also stated that at that time, Zhuzhou had become a larger metropolis on the side of the Xiangjiang River, and it was nationally nationwide.

This is due to the southward movement of the political center of the Southern Song Dynasty. The court broaden the Hunan and Jiangxi Post Road and made it a "national road". Zhuzhou also became a water and land transportation hub connecting Jiangnan, Guangdong, Guangdong, and southwest.

At this time, Zhuzhou's first native land name — 槠 此 此 此. This place name was originally seen in the text of the text of the South Song Dynasty (1166). After Zhu Xi and Yuelu Academy hosted Zhang Ye, the famous "Zhu Zhanghui speaks", Zhu Xi left "Bing Ye in the Nanyue Tour Mountains". Records to Yinzhou.

Related information records that the first year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1127), due to the prosperity of the brewing industry in the country, the wine shops in Zhutianpu stood up, and the businessmen shuttled through the city. "Zhuzhou City Chronicle" records that at that time, the court asked Yong Duan to serve as the officials of the Lizhou wine farm, and the annual alcohol tax was levied 200,000 yuan.

Peng Xuekai's research believes that the homophonic abbreviation of Qianzhou is Zhuzhou or related to this. At that time, the Daizhou wine tax business was busy, there were many days of communication, the staff of the management were less, and the business could not be busy. Positable.

Jiangxi people come to plant, drive the rise of local business

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, due to the influence of war and famine, Hunan had scarce population and barren land. A large number of Jiangxi people came to Zhuzhou. Zhuzhou Central City also began to transfer from the area of ​​Zhuntianpu to the front line of Jianning Port and Xujiaqiao.

What does Zhuzhou look like in the Ming Dynasty? According to the relevant maps included in the eight ethnic genealogy of Mr. Yang Bingguang's family, although Zhuzhou at that time was only a small town, it was particularly prosperous, including streets, shops, docks, temples, bridges, etc. The landmarks we are familiar with are also marked.

The genealogy of Mr. Yang Lao's family also recorded that their family lived in Jiangxi for generations. Since then, they moved to Zhuzhou. They once settled in the current Jiefang Street and built residential and shops there. The familiar Zhuzhou gradually formed.

In the Shang Dynasty, there are already scattered ancient human villages in Zhuzhou

Touring up, when did the earliest Zhuzhou people appear? This is to be pursued from the ancient cultural sites discovered by archeological workers in our city.

Related information records that the Mushan site located in Laantou District is a typical Neolithic Age settlement site.The cultural site was stacked by 1-2 meters, which was stacked with two cultural accumulation of Daxi and Longshan. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the relics were mainly scattered on the surface.Experts study estimates that the underlying layer was 6500-6000 years ago that belonged to the early Daxi cultural site in the early Neolithic era, and the Longshan Cultural Site, which belonged to the late Neolithic period more than 4000 years ago.The wall foundation, pottery, etc. excavated here prove that people have bid farewell to the acupoints and begin to create their homes.In addition, the site of the Shang Dynasty Garden Village unearthed from Baiguan Town also proves that Zhuzhou has scattered ancient human villages in the Shang Dynasty.
