After Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, he established Jingxing County (some historical sources believe that Jingxing County was established in the Qin Dynasty), which came under the jurisdiction of Changshan County, which was also the beginning of Jingxing County, and the county administration at that time was located in Tianhu Village (taking the meaning of "Cangtian Protector"). That is to say, around 202 BC, Tianhu Village was the seat of the county seat of Jingxing County. In the eighth year of Song Xining (1075 AD), the county administration was moved from Tianhu Village to today's Tianchang Town. In the seventh year of the Jin Dynasty (1129 AD) or earlier, the county administration was moved to Weizhou. In the second year of Emperor Yuanxianzong (1252 AD), the county government was moved from Weizhou back to Tianchang Town. In 1958, the county administration was moved from Tianchang Town to Weishui Village, which is still there.
This is the approximate history of the county administration of Jingxing County, which is roughly divided into four locations: Tianhu Village, Tianchang Town, Weizhou and Weishui Village. During this period, Jingxing County and Yulu County (i.e., Luquan), Pingshan County, and Weize County (the county administration was in Niangziguanhe north village) were merged and separated many times, but the time was relatively short. The following is an excerpt from some historical records of the changes in the county administration of Jingxing County.
▼ Yongzheng's eighth year of the "Chronicle of Jingxing County" records: "Han dynasty Qin County, belonging to Changshan County, set up Jingxing County. ”
▼ In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, the "Chronicle of Jingxing County" records: "Jingxing County, since the beginning of Emperor Hangao. ”
▼ In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, it is recorded in the "Chronicle of Jingxing County": "Hanxing County, Jingxing County began here, belonging to Changshan County. ”
Different theories: The qin dynasty's claim to set up a county is derived from the 1979 edition of the "Cihai", in which the annotation of the word "Jingxing" is written: Qin County.
Evidence (1): It is recorded in the Qing Yi Tongzhi: "The ancient city of Jingxing was in the north of the present-day county. Han Zhi, later Han to Tang ruled this. In this sentence, "county" refers to Tianchang Town, and Tianhu Village is indeed north of Tianchang Town.
Evidence (2): In the early years of the Republic of China, the villagers of Tianhu Village once dug up a fragment of a stele in the west of the village, which had the words "ShejiTan" on it. It shows that Tengo Village was once the county seat.
Evidence (3): In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, the "Chronicle of Jingxing County" records: "The northeast and northwest corners of Tianhu Village, the old Tufu II, according to legend, are the northeast and northwest city wall corners of the old county town. In present-day northeast City Corner, because the villagers have made the soil, it has been flattened; the northwest city corner still exists. ”
▼ The remnants of the city wall in the northwest corner of Tianhu Village have stood for more than 2,000 years.
▼ This earth slope and earthen bag are the walls of jingxing county town more than 2,000 years ago
In the Song Dynasty, with the transfer of the cultural and political center of Jingxing County, the ancient city of Tianhu changed from a county seat to a township, which was the beginning of the transformation of the ancient city of Tianhu from prosperity to decline. In the forty-sixth year of the Ming Dynasty (1618 AD), the official road of Jingxing County was changed from the northern line of the ancient Yidao to the southern line, no longer passing through the town of Tianhu, and since then, Tianhu has declined even more and slowly become Tianhu Village. To this day, only a desolate "Ximing Temple", a deserted stage, a ruined East Pavilion and several dilapidated houses remain in Tianhu Village, and the ancient city of Tianhu, which has been ruled by Jingxing County for more than 1,200 years, is about to be lost in the long river of history.
Soon, I will write an article about the ancient city of Tianhu, and I hope that everyone will appreciate it. Please follow me first
During the Tang Dynasty, out of the need for military offensive and defense, troops were stationed in some border areas and places where soldiers and families had to fight, and military jurisdictions were established, and their highest commander was "military envoys". By the Song Dynasty, under the influence of the national policy of "emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts", although these military jurisdictions still existed, they had lost their military significance and became administrative units of one side, and these military units were at the level of the state capital and also at the county level. Within the scope of Jingxing, there were the Tianchang Army, the Tianwei Army, the Tianwu Army, the Chengtian Army, etc., all of which were county-level, and the highest commander was called "military envoy" and exercised the post of "Zhi County".
In the "Chronicle of Jingxing County" in the eighth year of Yongzheng, it is recorded: "At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the tianchang town of tianchang in the west of the county was placed in the town of Tianchang, and Shi Jin changed the tianwei army. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Hedong Jiedu made Li Ke use the song to invite the emperor to garrison the town of Tianchang and set up a military jurisdiction, named "Tianchang Army". Later Jin shi Jingyao, in order to eliminate the influence of Later Tang Li Keyong, changed the "Tianchang Army" to "Tianwei Army".
There is a stone stele in the Dongyue Temple of Shiqiaotou Village, entitled "Records of the Stone Bridge of the Tianwei Army of the Great Song Dynasty", which records the construction of the Tianwei Army Stone Bridge in the eighth year of Song Yuanfeng (1085 AD). This stone bridge, named "Tongji Bridge", was built in front of the Dongyue Temple in Shiqiaotou Village and still exists today. In the inscription, "Tong Zhilang, a military envoy of Chong Tianwei, also knew the affairs of Jingxing County, and managed to persuade agricultural affairs, Ge Yi". This fully explains the post of military envoy and county governor. At the same time, the inscription also shows that in the eighth year of Song Yuanfeng, the county administration of Jingxing County was already in the Tianwei Army, that is, Tianchang Town.
The "History of Song and Geography" records: "Jingxing, Song Xining for six years, the province into the deer, Pingshan. Eight years of restoration, the tuzhi Tianwei army, that is, the county rule of the military envoys, subordinate to the government. Yongzheng's eighth year of the "Chronicle of Jingxing County" also recorded: "Song Xining, the province of Jingxing, into the Luping Mountain. For eight years, he resetted Jingxing and ruled the Tianwei Army in vain. That is to say, in the sixth year of Song Xining, Jingxing County was abolished and merged into HepingShan County. In the eighth year of Song Xining (1075 AD), Jingxing County was restored, and the county administration was moved to Tianchang Town. Therefore, ten years later, in the eighth year of Song Yuanfeng (1085 AD), when building the "Tongji Bridge", it was recorded: "Chong Tianwei military envoy, and also know the affairs of Jingxing County." Jingxingzhi County is the Tianwei Military Envoy, and the natural county administration is also in the Tianwei Army, which is now The Town of Tianchang.
The "Jin Shi • Geographical Chronicle" records: "In the seventh year of the Jin Tianhui (1129 AD), the Jingxing County was promoted to the Xingshan County Army, and it was changed to Weizhou, which belonged to The West Hebei Road. "Weizhou Lingxian One, Jingxing." ”
The "Yuan Shi and Geographical Chronicle" records: "In the second year of Emperor Yuan Dingzong, Weizhou also led The County of Pushui. ”
The "Qing Yi Tongzhi" records: "In the second year of Emperor Yuanxianzong, Tuwei Prefecture ruled Shuishui, and tujing County ruled Tianchang, and this city was abandoned. Now known as Weizhou City, also known as Weizhou Fort, also known as JingxingDian. ”
From the above three paragraphs, we know:
(1) In the seventh year of the Golden Heavenly Society, Weizhou was promoted to a prefecture, and there was only one county under its jurisdiction, and the prefecture and county were implemented, and Weizhou was both a prefecture and a county. That is to say, at the latest in the seventh year of the Golden Heavenly Society, the county administration of Jingxing County had already been moved from Tianchang Town to Weizhou.
(2) In the second year of Emperor Dingzong of Yuan (1247 AD), Shuishui County (in present-day Handan Yongnian, the ancient city of Guangfu, or the area around Quzhou) was also placed under the jurisdiction of Weizhou.
(3) In the second year of Emperor Yuanxianzong (1252 AD), the prefecture was moved to Shuishui, and at the same time, the county administration of Jingxing County was also moved from Weizhou to Tianchang Town. However, in the Yongzheng Eighth Year's "Chronicle of Jingxing County", it is recorded: "The old base of the town of Tang Tianchang in chengben, Song Xiningzhong moved to the county to govern here. ...... In the first year of Ming Hongwu's reign, the county was restored here. In other words, the time when the jingxing county government moved back to Tianchang Town should be in the first year of Ming Hongwu (1368 AD).
It remains to be seen whether the county rule was moved back to Tianchang Town in the second year of Emperor Yuanxianzong (1252 AD) or in the first year of Ming Hongwu (1368 AD!!!
Whenever it is moved back to Tianchang Town, it is the beginning of the decline of the ancient city of Weizhou. The current town of Weizhou is the ancient city of Weizhou, but it has long been vicissitudes and unrecognizable, and there is no trace of the ancient city, leaving only the names of "city land", "East City Pool", "West City Pool" and "City Moat".
In the second year of Emperor Xuanzong of Jin (1214 AD), Wu Xian, a native of the village of Gutai in the north of Jingxing, led his people to defeat the invading Mongols and recover Weizhou and parts of Hebei, so he was commended by Jin Xuanzong and awarded Wu Xian the title of Weizhou Assassin.
The 1986 edition of the Chronicle of Jingxing County records: "On November 5, 1958, Jingxing merged with The Deer, called Jingxing County, where the smelting site was in Weishui. ”
