If Qiyang and Qidong were not separated at that time, could they be comparable to Hengyang Leiyang City?

Qiyang County is located in Wu Dong of the Three Kingdoms. Because the county seat is located in Qi Shan Zhinan, it is called Qiyang. The first county was located in jinqiao town, Qidong County, then moved to Zhumao Town, Qiyang County, and finally settled in Wuxi Town, Qiyang County. The forest of steles in Wuxi, Qiyang is the essence of China's calligraphy treasure house, which is a collection of famous calligraphy inscriptions of scholars in Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

Xiangjiang River flows through Qiyang. With the completion of Wuxi and Xiangqi hydropower stations, Qiyang has become the largest wetland park in Hunan.

1952, Qidong County was separated from Qiyang, the county seat was located in Hongqiao Town near the railway, and Qiyang County deviated from the railway. Therefore, the development speed of Qidong County once surpassed that of Qiyang. Qidong has made positive contributions to the inheritance of Qiyang traditional culture and the development of local characteristics. Qidong's fishing drums are well-known all over the country, and Qidong's straw mats and day lilies have spread all over the world. However, because Qidong County is far away from the Hujiang River, water resources are scarce, and objective conditions limit the development of Qidong County.

In ancient times, Qiyang County set up an administrative organization-Guiyang Division in Guiyang Town, Qidong. Guiyang Division has a famous stone arch bridge in Tang Dynasty, which can carry modern cars. 20 16 provincial cultural relics and archaeologists excavated the ruins of ancient porcelain kilns in the Tang dynasty in Guiyang town, similar to the Tongguan kiln in Changsha. It can be seen that during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Qiyang and Qidong were quite prosperous.

1986, with the approval of the State Council, Leiyang County was upgraded to leiyang city. According to the economic data of 20 16, the population of leiyang city is10.4 million, and the total economic output is 42.6 billion yuan. Qiyang County has a population of 65.438+0.06 million, with an economic aggregate of 26 billion yuan. Qidong County has a population of 65.438+0.05 million and an economic aggregate of 24 billion. If Qiyang and Qidong are combined, both the population and the economic aggregate will surpass that of leiyang city.

Due to historical reasons or the needs of the development of the times, Qiyang Qidong is divided into two different prefecture-level cities, Qiyang belongs to Yongzhou City and Qidong belongs to Hengyang City. But in any case, Qiyang Qidong is the same in folk, cultural exchanges, people's living habits and dialects, so it is often said that Qiyang Qidong is a family, especially with the development in recent years, and both Qiyang and Qidong belong to populous counties. The existing population of Qiyang is about1120,000. As a native impression of Qiyang @ Qiyang, I just stand in front of a public and talk about my views. I don't know what you think. Welcome to interact!

On this issue, we must first understand the relationship between Qiyang and Qidong.

Qiyang County is located in the southwest of Hunan Province, and now it is under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou City, Hunan Province. Founded in the Three Kingdoms period, it has a history of 1800 years. 1952 changed to Xiangnan administrative office (Hengyang, Lingling and Chenzhou were merged into Xiangnan administrative office). In April, the northeastern part of the former Qiyang County was set aside and Qidong County was established.

Qidong County, now a county under the jurisdiction of Hengyang City, Hunan Province, is located in the southwest of Hengyang City and on the north bank of the middle reaches of Xiangjiang River. After the founding of New China, in April of 1952, all the seven, eight, nine and ten districts in Qiyang County were set aside, and most of the five and six districts were set aside to establish Qidong County.

Let's talk about leiyang city. Leiyang city is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Hengyang City, Hunan Province. It has a history of more than 2,200 years, and is known as the hometown of camellia oleifera in China.

About Qiyang County and Qidong County, if there is no separation, whether they have the ability to compare with leiyang city, I can't judge, but I went to check some information and can make a guess:

It can be seen from the data of 20 16 that the GDP of Qiyang County and Qidong County is not higher than that of leiyang city, but if they are added together, it is naturally higher than that of leiyang city.

So, I feel that Qiyang and Qidong, if not separated, should be comparable to leiyang city, and will not exceed.

Qidong and Qiyang were originally an organic whole, but they have been separated in recent decades. Together, the economic volume naturally doubles, even surpassing Leiyang. But it is best to belong to Hengyang or a province directly under the central government after the merger. Qiyang is now criticizing the disadvantages of belonging to Yongzhou. Hengyang, as a third-tier city, believes that its strength will be further enhanced after its return, and it will be guaranteed to win the second largest city in Hunan. The stronger the country is, the more inclined the national policy will be to Hengyang, and the greater development of Hengyang will naturally further drive the surrounding counties. There are many things to do!

If Hengshan Mountain is not divided, Hunan's GDP is second only to Changsha County.
