History
Located on the shore of the Yellow Sea and north of the Sulu Junction, Taoluo Town has a total area of 112 square kilometers and a coastline of 16.5 kilometers. Jiaoxin Highway (National Highway 204) runs from north to south; Taoping Highway (Provincial Highway 341) runs from east to west; and the Shenhai Expressway also has an exit here. In ancient times, there are two natural sea mouths, Taoluo and Gaoluo, with convenient land and water transportation, obvious location advantages and profound cultural heritage. Since the Northern Song Dynasty set up the Taoluo Field, its construction history has exceeded a thousand years.
Origin
Tao Luo, the old name of Tao Luo, its name has been ancient, but when it originated, there is no examination. The earliest documentation is the "Taoluo Field" placed in the second year of the Northern Song Dynasty to the Dao Dynasty (996). It can be seen from this that the name of Tao Luo has been documented for thousands of years. The history of Tao Luo is even longer, according to the Qing Dynasty's "Western Sea Expedition and Land Acquisition Volume" written by Ding Kai, a Qing Dynasty, it is not known when the name of Tao Luo began, but there have been salt officials since the Han Dynasty.

The Historical Records of the Examination, the Book of Han and the Geographical Chronicle of Han are indeed contained: Langya... Haiqu has a salt officer. Because it is known that in the third year of the Western Han Dynasty (120 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty promoted the use of large salt and iron merchants Dongguo Xianyang and Kong only as big farmers, who led salt and iron affairs, implemented salt and iron official monopoly, and set up salt officials in 35 counties and counties in the country, including Haiqu County in Shandong. During the Western Han Dynasty, the present-day Zhao region was the territory of Haiqu County, which was one of the 51 counties of Langxi County, and Taoluo was the salt production center of Haiqu County. Thus, the humanistic history of Tao Luo is traced back to two thousand years ago. According to this, it is inferred that Tao Luo established a village at the latest in the Western Han Dynasty.
However, according to recent archaeological excavations, the ruins of Yaowangcheng, 3 kilometers northwest of Taoluo, and the site of Xilinzitou, 5 kilometers south of Taoluo, can be concluded; as early as 4,000 years ago, there were traces of ancient humans in Taoluo.
Naming
According to the word of mouth of the villagers for generations: the name of Tao Luo comes from its unique geographical location - Tao Luo Coast, there is a natural port connecting to the Yellow Sea, the terrain is high and convex, the zhou is low and flat, shaped like a turtle cover, and the townspeople call it "Tassel Noodles". The rising tide runs westward, stopping rising and beginning to fall. For thousands of years, Tao Luo has experienced countless times when the tide rises and falls, and it is as stable as a mountain. As a result, "the tide has fallen back here" has been widely spread in the folk, and gradually the name of this place, in short, "tide falling" and "tao falling", further evolved into "Tao Luo". The castle was built in The Qingxian Fengjian, because "Taoluo" is next to the water character, and the townspeople are afraid of the big water, so it is renamed "Taoluo".
According to Mr. Zhang Chuanxi, a professor of the History Department of Peking University and a Tao Luo person, the renaming of "Tao Luo" was caused by the avoidance of the name of Zhu Changluo of the Ming Guangzong. According to the traditional etiquette system of our country, this is indeed an objective fact, and there is no doubt about it. However, Emperor Guangzong died less than one month after his reign, and 24 years later, the Ming Dynasty collapsed, and the name "Tao Luo", which was renamed to avoid secrecy, did not find any relevant historical records in these 24 years.
Today, according to the Kangxi Eleventh Year "Rizhao County Chronicle", what is seen is "Taoluo", until the Xianfeng Decade of ancient books are still recorded as "Taoluo", the earliest document that is uniformly recorded as "Taoluo" is the Guangxu Eleventh Year "Rizhao County Chronicle", since then, "Taoluo" has been named and continues to this day.
Build
Tao Luo has been a judi since ancient times, because the coastal brine, so it is a famous salt-producing area in Shandong, the Western Han Dynasty began to set up salt officials, the Northern Song Dynasty to the second year of the Tao Luo field.

According to the Jin Shi Vol. 25 Zhi No. 6 Geography, "Juzhou, Zhong, Thorn History. The Yang Army of the city was promoted to Chengyang Prefecture in the 22nd year of Dading, and changed its name to the present name in the 24th year. Household forty-three thousand two hundred and forty. County 3, Town 3: Ju; Rizhao, Town 1, Taoluo; Yishui, Town 1, Yi'an. In the old days, there were two towns, Fugou and Luozhen, which were later abandoned. "It can be examined.
According to ye Guishou's "Archaeological Records of Continuing Shandong" written by Ye Guishou during the Light Years of the Qing Dynasty, vols. 22 and 27: Jin Tao Luo Town, Thirty Miles south.
The town was first a military stronghold, and after the Song Dynasty, it was a relatively economically developed population agglomeration area, and the small commercial cities below the county were called towns. The Song Dynasty Gao Cheng's "Chronicle of Things" said: "If the people do not form a county and have taxation, they are towns, or they are officials and supervisors." According to this, TaoluoJian Town is synchronized with Rizhao County, and it can be seen that in ancient times, Taoluo was a place with a population agglomeration and commercial development, and was the only established town in Rizhao at that time.
Since the establishment of The Town, Tao Luo has been the result of this for generations and continues to this day.
