"There are two rivers in the upper reaches of the HaoHe River, the East River originates from huangmeijian in Yuexi County, Anhui Province, which is 77 kilometers long, and the West River originates at the summit of Yunfeng Peak in Yingshan County, which is 71 kilometers long. The two rivers merge at the mouth of the two rivers in Yingshan...", this is recorded in the "Chronicle of Huanshui County".
Historically, the official establishment of the county was in the 25th year of the Southern and Northern Dynasties Liu Song Yuanjia (448 AD), and the history of 1573 years ago (2021). In that year, the government opened the eastern and western parts of Puyang County, and the area west of the Xihe River was called Xishui County, and the county government was located in the southwest of Xishui Fengqi Mountain. The area east of the Xi River and west of the Pu River was named Pushui County. Both counties are under the administration of Xiyang County, Yuzhou.
Xishui County was first renamed Huanshui County in the first year of the Southern Liang Dynasty (520 AD), and there is also a theory that the name of the county was changed in 583, the third year of the Sui Dynasty. This is the origin of the name of The County. At that time, Haoshui County was under the jurisdiction of Yong'an County, Xiangzhou, and the county administration was located in Haoshui.
In the third year (607) of the Sui Dynasty Emperor Daye, Puchun County was re-established, and Shuishui County and Pushui County were under its jurisdiction.
Tang Gaozu Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty in 618 AD, and in the fourth year of Wude (621), Pushui County was merged into Puchun County, and the name of Pushui County was revoked. Because the orchid grasses on both sides of the HuanHe River were lush and beautiful at that time, the name of The County was changed to Lanxi County, and the county administration was moved to Lanxi Xitan'ao, which was under the jurisdiction of Puzhou.
After Wu Zetian's death, Emperor Zhongzong Li Xian succeeded to the throne, but he was cowardly by nature, and eventually the power fell to Empress Wei and Princess Anle, the meritorious and prime minister Zhang Kamzhi was demoted, and the crown prince Li Chongjun was killed. Empress Wei wanted to emulate Wu Zetian as empress, and in the first year of Tang Long (710), she conspired with Princess Anle to poison Emperor Zhongzong. Li Longji immediately made a decision, joined forces with Princess Taiping, launched the "Tanglong Coup", killed Wei, and made his father Li Dan emperor, and in the first year of the first year (712), Li Danchan was located in Li Longji, and After Li Longji ascended the throne, he put Princess Taiping to death
, killed Shangguan Wan'er. In the first year of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang's reign (742), Lanxi County was renamed Pushui County (蕲水县), which was subordinate to Puzhou (蕲州, in Huainan Province).
According to the "Chronicle of Pushui County" during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, "the restoration of the present rule, the Song and Yuan dynasties are still the same." That is, the Song and Yuan dynasties, the establishment of Pushui County has not changed, the Song Dynasty is under the jurisdiction of Huainan West Road Puzhou, and the Yuan Dynasty is under the jurisdiction of Henan Province, Henan Jiangbei Province.
In the eleventh year of the Yuan Dynasty (1351), Xu Shouhui, a Native of Luotian, led an uprising, and the rebels wore red scarves on their heads, so they were called the Red Turban Army, and the Red Turban Army captured the county seat of Pushui County, and established the Tianquan regime here, tianquan is its national name, which is the meaning of heaven to destroy the Yuan Dynasty. The capital of the country is located in Qingquan Temple, northeast of the county seat.
At the beginning of Zhu Yuanzhang's establishment of the Ming Dynasty, it belonged to the capital of Puzhou. In the seventh year of Hongwu (1375), Zhao Jiguang, then zhixian, decided to build a city. The city was built, with neither walls nor moats, and only built buildings at large entrances on all four sides. The east is Yinghui Building, the south is Laixun Building, the west is Zhenxi Building and Wangjiang Building, and the north is Gongchen Building. In the eleventh year of Hongwu (1378), Pushui County was transferred to the jurisdiction of Huangzhou Prefecture of Wuchang Province, the political secretary of Huguang Province. In the third year of the Wanli Calendar (1575), Liu Xian of Zhixian county built the city again. The city wall is 1 zhang 5 meters high, 1 zhang thick, and the circumference of the city wall is 3.65 kilometers. There are five gates on the city wall: Laitai Gate in the east, Liwen Gate in the south, Yongfeng Gate in the west, Gongchen Gate in the north, and convenience gate on the right side of the south gate. Later, a gate was opened in the southeast and southwest, followed by yuelong gate and Fucheng gate. In the eighth year of Chongzhen (1635), Zhang Xianzhong's peasant rebel army invaded Puhuang, and Gong Dingzi, who was then in Zhixian County, Pushui County, expanded the city wall and dredged the moat, and built 6 more artillery towers and 28 castles on the city. On the fifth day of March in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen (1643), the defenders of Pushui could not withstand the fierce attack of the peasant army, the city wall was lost, and the county town was turned into a ruin by military fire.
After the Manchus entered the customs, the Qing Dynasty was established. Pushui County is under the administration of Huangzhou Prefecture, Hanhuangde Province, Huguanghang Province. At the beginning of the Shunzhi Dynasty (1646), the county seat was restored, but on a much smaller scale than that of the Ming Dynasty. In the fifth year of Xianfeng (1855), the Taiping Army demolished the county seat and built a new city on the south bank of the Huanshui River (around the present-day County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine). In the seventh year of Xianfeng (1857), the new city was demolished by the Qing army, and the old city was restored again.
From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the middle of the Republic of China, due to the disrepair, the city wall gradually collapsed, was damaged, and became a ruined wall. In the nineteenth year of the Republic of China (1930), ge Yunlong of the 33rd Division of the Kuomintang Army stationed in Pushui and built an earthen city based on the old city. In the third year of the Republic of China (1914), the county was withdrawn from fuliu county, and Pushui County belonged to Jianghan Province, Hubei Province. In the fifteenth year of the Republic of China (1926), the province was abolished and the county was changed to be directly under the province. In the 21st year of the Republic of China (1932), Kong Geng, who was then a member of the Hubei Provincial Government and the director of the Department of Civil Affairs, proposed to change Pushui County to Shuishui County, and in June of the 22nd year of the Republic of China (1933), the Hubei Provincial Government approved Kong Geng's proposal, and Pushui County was officially renamed Huangshui County. It belongs to the Third Administrative Supervision District of Hubei Province.
In September 1947, the People's Democratic Government of Haoshui County was established. On April 8, 1949, the county seat was liberated. In May, the county government moved from Yangci Zhang'aokou to The county seat of Shuishui. In October, the county people's democratic government was renamed the county people's government and belonged to the Huanggang Special District of Hubei Province. At that time, only the remains of the Liwen Gate in the south of the city remained in the county seat. In 1970, it belonged to Huanggang District, and in 1995, it belonged to Huanggang City.
