Why does Guangxi give Huaiji to Guangdong?

Huaiji County has a recorded history of more than 2,000 years, of which the history is divided into four districts: ancient Huaiji County, ancient Mianshui County, ancient Yonggu County, and Xiashuai Township (Zhuang and Yao ethnic groups) Composed of ethnic groups, three of these four ethnic groups are spread across relatively wide dialect groups.

First, there are people from ancient Huaiji County who speak Xiafang dialect (also called Huaicheng dialect, a Cantonese mixed with the Yao language, somewhat similar to Chaoshan dialect and Minnan dialect). , Lianmai, Zhongzhou, Zhagang (some retain Hakka), Aozai, Fenggang, Qashui, Gansa, Tailai (Tailai dialect, influenced by Shangfang dialect and Zhuang dialect) and other towns. District, with a population of about 450,000 and an area of ??2,037 square kilometers, is mainly located in the eastern and central mountainous areas of Huaiji County. The Huaicheng Basin where the Maning River and the Zhongzhou River meet the Suijiang River has the best geographical location. The ancient Huaiji County seat was Huaicheng.

Secondly, there are ancient people from Kanshui County who speak Shangfang dialect (also called Kaijian dialect, Xindu dialect, Cantonese mixed with Hakka dialect) from Liang Village (some speak Biao dialect) Shangfang District consists of , Gangping, Lenkeng (some retain Hakka), Lanzhong, Dagang (some speak standard dialect), Maning and other towns. It has a population of about 400,000 and an area of ??711 square kilometers. It is located in Huaiji County. The northwest is dominated by the Liangcun-Lengkeng Basin, which is the largest plain among the mountainous counties in Guangdong Province and is the hometown of rice. The ancient Kaishui County seat was at the head of Kouzhai Kaishui Gangtou, Yonghong Village Town, Liangcun Town.

Third, there are people from ancient Yonggu County who speak slogans (a slogan that combines part of the language of the Zhuang and Dong people) from Yonggu Town, Qiaotou Town (most of them speak Qiaotou dialect), Shi It consists of Dongzhen (part of which speaks Baiya dialect), Liangcun and Dagang, with a population of about 200,000. The total area is 728 square kilometers, mainly in mountainous areas. The county seat of ancient Yonggu County is in Yonggu Town. The bidder has repeatedly applied to the government for minority treatment, but has been rejected every time.

Fourth is Xiashuai Township (Zhuang and Yao ethnic groups) in the north of Huaiji County, with a population of 10,000 and an area of ??76 square kilometers, mainly in mountainous areas.

The earliest historical record of Huaiji County is from the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered Nanyue and migrated an ethnic group from the north. They lived in Renyi-Xindu, Nanfeng-Chang'an, Liangcun-Leng Fengyang County was established in three interconnected basins, with the county seat in Pumen Town, Xindu-Renyi Basin, Hezhou City today. The three interconnected basins of Renyi-Xindu, Nanfeng-Chang'an, and Liangcun-Lengkeng have formed the same customs and spoken the same language after thousands of years of marriage and governance, as well as the large number of Hakkas who moved there during the Southern Song Dynasty. Jianhua dialect (Shangfang dialect, Xindu dialect, Cantonese mixed with Hakka).

During the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was great chaos in the north, and the Han people moved south one after another.

Two ethnic groups moved to the north, one of which is the Xiafang dialect (the Xiafang people in Huaiji County, Guangning County, Yangshan County, etc. all intermarry with the local Yao people, and they all speak this kind of Xiafang dialect) language.) lived in the Suijiang River Basin of Sihui County (today's Sihui City, Guangning County, Yangshan County, central Huaizhong, and the eastern mountainous area). In the 13th year of Yuanjia (436 years) of Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sihui County of Nanhai County was established. Suijian County, Suijian County (Sihui City) established Xinzhao, Huameng, Huamu, Huazhu and other counties, and Yintun Township, which originally belonged to Sihui County, established Huaiji County (taken from the Minyao people living in the county area, in order to It means that the elders gather together to express their feelings), this is Guhuaiji County.

The other branch is the Speaksmen. They moved to the southern mountainous area of ??Huaiji County and the northern mountainous area of ??Fengkai County and intermarried with the Baiyue people, the ancestors of the Zhuang and Dong people. During the Liu and Song Dynasties of the Southern and Northern Dynasties (424-453) It was divided from Fengyang County to the south of Huaiji and established Yonggu County (Yonggu Water Area), which governs today's Yonggu Town, Shidong Town, Qiaotou Town, Dagang Town and Liangcun Town, and Guangning County's Gushui Town. There is also the Chang'an Town part of Fengkai County, which is under the jurisdiction of Linhe County (now Hezhou, Guangxi).

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Southern Qi Dynasty, Fengyang County, which has a large population, was divided into three counties according to the three basins of Renyi-Xindu, Nanfeng-Chang'an, and Liangcun-Lengkeng. They are Fengyang County (the county seat is in Pumen Town, Hezhou), Kaijian County (the county seat is in Nanfeng Town), Mian'an County (the county seat is in Liangcun Town, Huaiji County, and includes Lingfeng Town, Guangxi and other places), and belongs to Linhe County (Hezhou, Guangxi) ) governance.

The Sui Dynasty unified the north and the south. In the ninth year of Kaihuang (589), Suijian County was withdrawn, and Xinzhao, Huamu and Huazhu counties were withdrawn and divided into Sihui County and Huameng County. Huaiji County, Sihui County and Huameng County (now Guangning) are under the jurisdiction of Nanhai County (Guangzhou).

In the early Tang Dynasty, Qizhou and Weizhou were established in Mian'an County and Huaiji County respectively (this is the origin of Weizhou City we once applied for).

Qizhou governs Mian'an County, Kaijian County, Fengyang County and other places; Weizhou governs Huaiji County, Yonggu County, Huameng County and other places; Qizhou and Weizhou are both governed by Nanhai County (Guangzhou).

In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, in the second year of Kaiyuan (714), Yonggu County was merged into Huaiji County of Weizhou. Qizhou and Weizhou are cancelled. The four counties of Sihui, Huaiji, Huameng (Guangning), and Mian'an (Liangcun-Lengkeng Basin) are under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou.

In the second year of Zhide (757) of the Tang Dynasty, Kaan'an County was renamed Kaishui County (Kaanshui later became Maningshui).

In the fifth year of Kaibao in the Song Dynasty (972), the Northern Song Dynasty destroyed the Southern Han Dynasty and merged Mianshui County (Liangcun-Lengkeng Basin, Lingfeng Town, Guangxi) into Huaiji County, forming today's Huaiji County. The basic territory of the county. In the same year, to the west, Fengyang County in the Xindu Basin entered Linhe County (today's Babu District, Hezhou). Kaijian County in Nanfeng Basin was merged into Fengchuan County, but soon it was split into Kaijian County and Fengchuan County, both of which belonged to Deqing Prefecture. In the same year, Huameng County and Huamu County were withdrawn from the east (these two counties are both present-day Guangning County. Guangning County was not established until the rebellion and suppression of the Han and Yao ethnic groups in the 31st year of Jiajing in the middle Ming Dynasty (1552)) Incorporated into Sihui County. Kaijian County became the only small county in ancient Fengyang County that could retain a county-level government. Since then, it has been farceed with many times of merging with and then separating from Fenkai County and Huaiji County. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, people in Kaijian County always hoped to restore the ancient Fengyang County. They used the same language, customs, and convenient transportation in the three basins as an excuse to integrate Kaijian County (Nanfeng Basin) and Fengyang County (Xindu Basin). , Mianshui County (Liangcun Basin), Yonggu County (Yonggu Basin), and establish a Dakaijian County with Nanfeng Basin as the center.

The idea of ??opening a county was supported by Zhaoqing Road. Zhaoqing Road wanted to merge the original Huameng County (Guangning County) and Huaiji County to re-establish a large ethnic county. Lianshui County, the original Fengyang County, and the original Yonggu County were merged into one large ethnic county. However, this move was strongly opposed by Linhe County and Huaiji County. Huaiji County even broke away from the governance of Zhaoqing Road and joined the Hezhou was newly established in Linhe County. The hope of establishing a large county was dashed, and they were unwilling to merge with Fengchuan County and Huaiji County. As a result, they survived as a small county until 1961. Guangning County, on the other hand, could not be established as a separate county until the mid-Ming Dynasty (1552), more than 500 years later. Before that, it had been under the jurisdiction of the Sihui. Fengchuan County has always wanted to merge with Guangxin Road (Wuzhou) and upgrade to Fuzhi.

Before the Yuan Dynasty, Huaiji County was under the jurisdiction of Linhe County (Hezhou), Suijian County (Sihui), Nanhai County (Guangzhou), and Zhaoqing Road. After the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhaoqing Prefecture was called Zhaoqing Road, which was attached to Guangxi Road and Huguang Province. Huaiji County was renamed under the jurisdiction of Huguang Zhongshu Province, Guangxi Road, Zhaoqing Road, Hezhou.

In the 29th year of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhaoqing Road was changed to the jurisdiction of Guangdong Road, Jiangxi Province. Huaiji County did not follow and returned to Jiangxi Province, Guangdong. Dao, but chose to stay in Huguang Zhongshu Xingxing Province Guangxi Dao.

In the ninth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1376), Zhu Yuanzhang unified the south. Hezhou was removed from the state and changed to He County. He County and Huaiji County were transferred to Wuzhou Prefecture in Guangxi. From then on, Huaiji County belonged to Guangxi until 1952. It is governed by Wuzhou Prefecture. Judging from the map, 80% of Huaiji County borders Guangdong. Only the mountainous area of ??Lingfeng Town to the west of Gangping Town borders the Xindu Basin (which is also separated by mountains and cannot be contacted), which looks a bit strange. In ancient times, because the mountain road in Lingfeng Town did not lead to the capital basin, Huaiji County had to go out to build the county (to start building the basin) if it wanted to communicate with Hezhou, Xindu, and Wuzhou

In the 32nd year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, Xindu County Duxiang (Xindu Basin) was changed to Xindu Hall, and the mountains in the old Huaiji area (today's Lingfeng Town, Babu District, Hezhou, Guangxi), including Songbaiying and Jin'e, Longtang, Lanshan, and Dazhuyong, were changed to Xindu Hall. In 1912, the first year of the Republic of China, Xindu Hall in the west of Huaiji County was changed into a county; in 1951, Xindu County was merged into He County and Xindu Town was established.

In 1952, Guangdong transferred Beihai, Qinzhou, and Fangchenggang to Guangxi. As compensation, Huaiji County was transferred from Guangxi to Guangdong.

In March 1952, Fengchuan and Kaijian counties jointly operated and were called "Fengchuan and Kaijian County", but the two dialect groups of Kaijian and Cantonese (Fengchuan County) , due to disputes over the county government (the positioning of the county government between Fengchuan Ancient City and Nanfeng, the founders believed that the county government should be located in the Nanfeng Basin with a large population, rather than the mountain town of Jiangkou Town with no room for development), split again. In 1958, Sichuan and Kaijian counties were separated for the Nth time.

On November 1, 1958, according to decision No. 250 of the Gaoyao Prefectural Committee, Kaijian County and Huaiji County were merged to form Huajian County; Fengchuan County and Deqing County were merged to form Defeng County.

Soon after the construction of the people, they fell out with the Huaiji people over the county government issue. The founders believe that those who speak Shangfang dialect (including founders) and those who speak Biao dialect (including some people in Chang'an Town, Kaijian County) account for the majority of the county, while those in the Kaijian (Nanfeng-Chang'an) Basin and Liangcun-Leng In the Keng Basin, the development space is better than that of Huaicheng Town, which is surrounded by mountains. (In the early days of liberation, the development of Huaicheng Town was not much better than that of other towns. After liberation, it was promoted to the deputy director level, and resources were concentrated for development, which hollowed out a lot. Shantou), the county should be moved to the Nanfeng Basin or the Liangcun-Lengkeng Basin between the two counties. This is only fair.

This incident angered the people below in Huaicheng. In 1959, Huaicheng City immediately smashed the Huaijian County sign and restored the name Huaiji County. If people from Kaijian love to come to Huaiji County, come here.

The battle between Kaijian and Huaicheng. Alarmed the superiors.

At the same time, Fengchuan County and Deqing County also collapsed due to county issues. (Because Fengchuan Ancient City and Deqing Ancient City have too little development space to be suitable as county towns, another one needs to be chosen. The central area town serves as the county government), and the situation is uncontrollable. At that time, all parts of the country were competing for the position of provincial, municipal, and county governments. For example, the provincial capital of Jilin Province was moved from Jilin City to Changchun, the provincial capital of Heilongjiang was moved from Qiqihar to Harbin, the provincial capital of Hebei was moved from Baoding to Shijiazhuang, and Henan The provincial capital was moved from Kaifeng to Zhengzhou, the provincial capital of Anwei was moved from Anqing to Hefei, the provincial capital of Guangxi was moved from Guilin to Nanning, the municipal government of Zhaoqing was moved from Gaoyao to Duanzhou District, etc.

In 1961, Huaiji County was divided into Kaijian County and Deqing County was divided into Fengchuan County. Fengchuan County and Kaijian County were merged and renamed Fengkai County. However, Kaijian and Fengchuan people were arguing over the county government issue (they initially negotiated to take a certain town in the center of the two counties as the county capital, but Fengchuan people moved the county capital to the small mountain town of Jiangkou Town and refused to leave.) So far in 2017 There is a conflict.

From 1952 to 1983, Huaiji County bidders applied to the provincial government for minority treatment many times, but were rejected every time. From the 1980s to the 1990s, Huaiji County repeatedly applied to the provincial government and the State Council for the deputy department-level Weizhou City, but was rejected.
