The Voice of Yizheng takes you to talk about the past and the present and xupu

Xupu is one of the oldest place names ever preserved in Yizheng, with a history of more than 2,500 years from the seven years of king Chuping in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the area around Xupu was the junction of Wu and Chu, and it was also the place where Wu Zixu successfully crossed the river. In order to commemorate Wu Zixu's crossing of the river here, people called this place Xupu. Xu refers to Wu Zixu, and Pu means waterside.

Xupudong is adjacent to the urban area, bordering the Yangtze River in the south and the road in the north, which is the gateway to and from Yizheng. In ancient times, it was a place where soldiers had to fight. In the autumn of 1161, the Jin lord Yan Liang personally led a 600,000-strong army to invade the south in four routes, directly approaching Yangzhou and Zhenzhou. The Song generals Liang Yuan, Emperor Yuanzong, and Zhang Zhao were ordered to lead five or six hundred men to fortify the Bridge crossing the Xupu River. In the face of the swarming Jin soldiers, they bravely faced the battle, bought time for the Song army to gather and annihilate the enemy, cover the retreat of the people of Yangzhou and Zhenzhou, and created the miracle of "three generals blood to protect sentient beings". During the revolutionary war years, Xu Pu also made great contributions. In 1940, the anti-Japanese armed forces led by the Communist Party of China opened an underground communication line between the central China base area and the Shanghai underground party along the Xupu River, and leaders such as Su Yu and Tan Zhenlin and some of the breakthrough personnel of the New Fourth Army after the Anhui Incident all entered and exited from this communication line. The people of Xupu have made selfless contributions to protecting the safety and smoothness of this traffic line.

Since ancient times, Xupu has had convenient land and water transportation, and its economy and culture have been relatively developed. Xupu's weaving and catering industry has long been famous, with traditional industries such as rattan chairs, brown rope, cakes and oil dumplings, and local culture, baumismus masterpieces and gardens and pavilions fascinating. Among them, the "Xupu Nongge", one of the ancient "Eight Views of Zhenzhou", has lasted for a long time. Li Qingfeng, the descendant of the "Taigu School" who went out from the land of Xupu, became a famous scholar of the hundred generations with his unique academic ideas and achievements.

Xupu's superior geographical location and convenient transportation conditions have played a unique role in reform, opening up, and socialist modernization. Since the 1970s, the state has built a number of large enterprises such as Yizheng Chemical Fiber and East China Yizheng Oil Pipeline Station here, which are like bright pearls shining on the land of Xupu!
