"The oldest new county": According to research, during the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, Chun'an had a mature bronze culture. In the thirteenth year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, in 208 AD, the famous Chibi Battle of The Great Wall broke out in history, the situation of the Three Kingdoms was basically fixed, and Jingzhou at that time could be described as out of the limelight, naturally few people would pay attention to this year, and the imperial court established Chun'an County. In the first year of the Western Jin Dynasty (280 AD, when Sima Yan destroyed Eastern Wu and ended the Three Kingdoms rebellion), Xinding County, which was dependent on the Chun'an landscape, was renamed Sui'an County. Chun'an and Sui'an have a history of more than 1700 years, during which talents have emerged, and there have been 308 jinshi and three champions in the past, and the Ming Dynasty has produced a "three-yuan prime minister" businessman. From May 37 to June of the 41st year of Jiajing (1558-1562 AD), the famous Qing official Hai Rui of the Ming Dynasty served as Chun'an Zhi County, and Hai Rui was honest and honest with the people. In October 1958, Chun'an and Sui'an counties merged, Hecheng and Lion City sank into the water within a year, and the county seat was moved to Pailing to form a new county.
"The largest small county": Chun'an County huan wanshan as an yi, and Anhui Province Shexian, Xiuning county as neighbors, and Zhejiang Province's Lin'an, Tonglu, Jiande, Qu county, Changshan, Kaihua six counties border, with a total area of 4427 square kilometers, is the largest county in Zhejiang Province, which in the area of only 100,000 square kilometers in Zhejiang Province, it is particularly large. However, Chun'an is also a small economic county. The GDP of Chun'an County is only half of that of Tonglu, Jiande, Lin'an and other counties (cities) with similar and adjacent populations. The total retail sales of consumer goods in neighboring Tonglu, Jiande and Lin'an are about twice as large as those of Chun'an.
"The Richest Poor County": After the founding of New China, especially after the land reform, according to the inspection report of the Southern Inspection Group of the State Science and Technology Commission, Chun'an County's total agricultural output value, total agricultural output, and commodity grain sold to the state once jumped to the top of the 13 counties in western Zhejiang. However, just after the formation of the Xin'anjiang Reservoir, the bright water that started the power supply of the East China power grid allowed Chun'an to enter the difficult process of "going backwards for ten years, wandering for ten years, and recovering for ten years". 300,000 mu of arable land has been reduced to water, and the total grain output, total agricultural output value, and total fiscal revenue have all plummeted. Chun'an County changed from a surplus grain county to a grain-deficient county, and its vitality was seriously injured. After inspecting Chun'an, Former Minister of Water and Electricity Niu Maosheng sighed: "It was originally the land of fish and rice, but now there is no rice, and the fish are not theirs, leaving so many problems and difficulties, and it has become the Tibet of Hangzhou." Fortunately, later Chun'an people used the unique resources of Qiandao Lake to rise again, and now it has become the "back garden" of Hangzhou and the "natural oxygen bar" of the Yangtze River Delta.
