Xinhua and Anhua, who can talk about their historical relationship?

According to legend, as early as the Tang Dynasty, Anhua County and Xinhua County were collectively called Meishan, and the people living in Meishan were ethnic minorities, mainly Yao and Miao.

During the Five Dynasties, Meishan was not under the jurisdiction of states and counties. At that time, the feudal dynasty "forbidden to associate with the Han people, and its land could not be cultivated." In the desperate situation of "no salt food, no silk clothes", the Yao people in Meishan rose up and rebelled. They drove around the surrounding counties many times, killed the state officials, drove away the history, and lit the counties one by one. The "Koutan House and Koushao House" recorded in the History of Song Dynasty is a description of the counties around Meishan Yao's expedition.

In the fourth year of Zhen Ming (AD 9 18) in the Later Liang Dynasty and the fourth year of Ming Zong Tiancheng in the Late Tang Dynasty (AD 929), "Meishan people" invaded Shaozhou twice. At that time, Ma Yin ruled Hunan, and his troops were very strong, so he sent his navy commander Wang Shan to attack Meishan, and the Yao people in Meishan fought back heroically. The two armies were at loggerheads in Situling, Gaoming Township, Anhua, and fought many times, so it was difficult to draw a conclusion. After Meishan Yao people lured Wang into the cliff valley (now Gaoming Township, Anhua), and besieged him for more than a month. Finally, Wang died of helplessness. The later dynasty named the king "Situ" and set up a temple at the junction of Ningxiang and Anhua, which was called "Situ Temple", hence the name "Situ Mausoleum in Anhua".

In the second year of the late Han Dynasty (AD 949), the Ma brothers, the son of Ma Yin, fought for power and profit, and Langzhou (Changde) made Ma Xixi attack Tanzhou (Changsha), our time, and was defeated by Ma Xiguang. The next year, Masisi was rich in weapons and treasures in Changsha. He lured Chen Mang and Meishan Mang to help him. In July of that year, Meishan was driven by Yiyang and Yutan (now Ningxiang) and was invincible. As December approached Hexi in Changsha, Ma Xiguang's morale was shaken. Masigu took the opportunity to unify all military forces and capture Tanzhou. The Meishan Yao people stationed in Changsha for three days, gained a lot of weapons and treasures, and returned to Meishan triumphantly. Since then, the Yao people in Meishan have been very angry.

In the early Song Dynasty, Yao people often said, "Little knowledge of Wugang, Tan Changsha." The rulers of the Song Dynasty also intensified the tragic killing of the Yao people in Meishan. According to the Song Dynasty's biography of Xi Shi, in the eighth year of Song Taizu Kaibao (AD 975), Xi Shi, under the jurisdiction of Tanzhou Mausoleum, sent troops to attack Meishan, destroyed slate fields and captured thousands of people in various caves in Cangxi Mountain (southwest of Xinhua County). After being killed, he cut off his left ear to record his merits. After a lapse of two years, in the second year of Taiping and Xingguo (AD 977), he ordered the guest ambassadors Zhai Shousu and Jiangzhou Cishitian to adjust the forces of Tanzhou and other states and surround Meishan separately. It rained for several days, and the fog filled the hills, and the crossbows were released, so the soldiers could not get in. That night, Zhai Shousu ordered the soldiers to cut the wood into crossbows. The next morning, he suddenly attacked the Yao people in Meishan. The Yao people in Meishan rushed to fight, and finally, because they were outnumbered, they took the initiative to retreat. Zhai Shousu went north and attacked the fields from the north and south. At this time, the Yao nationality "collapsed in ten miles", and the leader helped Hanyang to be defeated and died. The Yao nationality was captured and killed by 20,000 people. Tian had two hundred knives cut down, and the remaining five thousand were sent to the cave. The repatriated Yao people buried their leaders in the Jiuguan 18 Suofei Frost Cliff, which was called "the tomb of Bangwang" in previous dynasties, and there was a temple for Wang Jian in Meishan, which was called "the temple of Bangwang". The peaks and passes guarded by Bangwang were named as Wangmao Mountain and Bangwang Bridge. After the battle, Zhai Shousu set up Meizikou, Xi Shou, Qixing, Mayfly and Baisha in the southeast and northwest of Meishan. Meizikou Village (Li San, south of Meicheng) is in the center, and Qixing (Qixing Town, Lianyuan) and Xi Shou (Xi Shou Port, Taojiang River has a golden dam) are in the northeast to prevent hibiscus and ephemera (Xinhua Huaqiao, etc.). ) and Baisha (now Anhua Wenxi) come from Xinhua, Woong San and Shima. The chess and cards are scattered and the momentum is mutual. From Taiping Xingguo to Xining for more than 90 years, Meishan Yao people have been afraid to peek outside.

In the third year of Song Xining (1070), Song Shenzong sent messengers into the mountains to implement the policy of "Meishan is full". In November of the fifth year (1072), Meishan officially belonged to the Northern Song Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, two cities were built in Meishan: one was built on Meishan, named "Xinhua", which means "Wang Hua's new land"; A city was built in Xiameishan, named "Anhua", which means "humanization". Some Yao people in Meishan were killed, some merged, some moved to other places, and only a few people stayed in Meishan. Meishan has been sinicized since then.
