historical evolution

Taixing county was established in the first year of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the Five Dynasties (937), which means "the country is prosperous and all industries are prosperous". When the county was founded, it was located in Jichuan Town. Later, due to the collapse of the river, in the second year of Gande in North Song Taizu (964), the county government was moved from Jichuan Town to Chai Hui, west of the port, and the surrounding area became a city. In the early years of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, the county ruled Lingling Village (now Taixing Town). Yes, it is also the rule of this city. In the fourth year of Huizong Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty (1122), it was changed to Yangzhou. At the beginning of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, it belonged to Taizhou again; After five years, it still belongs to Yangzhou; Ten years belongs to Taizhou; In 12 years, it was changed to Yangzhou. Yuansheng Taixing is a superior county, which belongs to Yangzhou Road General Administration. Ming belongs to Yangzhou prefecture. In the second year of Qing Yongzheng (1724), it was changed to Tongzhou. In the third year of the Republic of China (1914), it belonged to Su Changdao, directly under Jiangsu Province in 2116, Taizhou Administrative Supervision District in 22 years, and Yangzhou Administrative Supervision District in 23 years. The county was liberated in 1949, belonging to Taizhou Administrative Region, Yangzhou Administrative Office in 1953 and Yangzhou City in 1983. In 1992, with the approval of the State Council, Taixing City (county level) was set up, which was directly administered by Jiangsu Province and managed by Yangzhou City. In August, 1996, it was managed by the newly established prefecture-level Taizhou City. In April, 1997, with the approval of the provincial government, five towns, namely Kouan, Diaopu, Tianhe, Xuzhuang and Yonganzhou, were assigned to gaogang district, Taizhou City.

physical geography

Taixing city is located in the middle of Jiangsu province, bordering Rugao in the east, the Yangtze River in the west, Jingjiang in the south, Jiangyan in the north, Hai 'an in the northeast, and the map state of Taitaixing city in the northwest. The total area is 1253 square kilometers. The terrain is high in the northeast and low in the southwest, slightly inclined, and it is an alluvial plain in the Yangtze River Delta. According to the geomorphological features, the whole city can be divided into high sandy soil areas, polder areas along the Jing River and paddy fields along the river. Taixing has a mild climate with four distinct seasons, with an annual average temperature of 14.9℃, the coldest in January with an average temperature of 2.1℃, and the hottest in July with an average temperature of 27.6℃. The average annual precipitation is 1.127mm, the sunshine is 2125 hours, and the frost-free period is 221 days. The main minerals in Taixing are: natural carbon dioxide gas, helium gas, geothermal shallow natural gas, abundant groundwater and mineral water, high-quality quartz sand, and brick clay. Although there are few varieties of mineral resources, they are rich in reserves and high in grade. Xiqiao carbon dioxide gas field is the largest carbon dioxide gas field in China. In the process of oil and gas exploration, East China Petroleum Bureau discovered Xiqiao carbon dioxide gas field in 1983. The buried depth is 1,811-2,651m, the recoverable reserves are about 61 billion cubic meters, the geological reserves are over 111 billion cubic meters, the gas field pressure is high, and the wellhead of the production well is as high as 8.6Mpa. It is exploited by bottom-up and deep-shallow self-injection, and the carbon dioxide sprayed is liquid, with a content of over 99%. Xiqiao carbon dioxide gas field is a medium and large gas field with deep depth, low abundance and high production capacity. According to the current development capacity, it is estimated that the service life will be at least 211 years, which can fully meet the growing market demand. In addition to the largest carbon dioxide gas field in China, according to the preliminary investigation and Jiangsu Geology and Mineral Information, there is also a rare gold gas "Helium" distributed in Xiqiao, which is the most famous shallow inorganic gas field in Jiangsu. The gas layer of this gas field is buried at a depth of 373 meters, and the gas field is characterized by high nitrogen content, with the nitrogen content above 58%. In many gas sample analyses, it is found that the helium content is relatively high, generally 1.58. The trap area of this gas field is 1.72 square kilometers, of which the gas-bearing area is 1.52 square kilometers, and the proven geological reserves are 11.36 million cubic meters. Among them, the geological reserves of helium exceed 1 million cubic meters, and the geological reserves of methane are 2.48 million cubic meters.

local conditions and customs

rural customs: after the marriage between men and women is determined, no matter how many years before marriage, according to the previous rules, the woman can't go to the man's house. If you go, you will be ridiculed and scolded by the villagers. Say, open a girl, "horse fork" very much, squatting instability; And he said, I am not a person, and I am afraid I am a coquettish fox. It's really hard to say anything. So demanding of the girl, but not of the boy. It is justified for the man's boy to go to the woman's house. According to the local saying, when there is nothing to do, the young man calls for a visit at home, and on holidays, it is called "visiting relatives", at least three times a year: Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year. These three times, I didn't go empty-handed. I should bring the usual gifts, including water (long life), Beijing fruit (as expected), meat (both blessing and blessing) and fish (more than auspicious celebration). Don't underestimate these samples. Whether the villagers can eat three meals a day is a problem. It is not too much to prepare these samples. However, this hairy son-in-law comes to the door, and every time she gives a gift, it often causes the woman's different reactions, especially when she meets her mother-in-law, who loves to take advantage of petty advantages, and her emotions are completely written on her face. A generous gift is a smile. "The more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more interesting it becomes." That son-in-law will naturally be well treated. If the gift is a little thin, the face will sink, and there will be thorns in the words. The son-in-law will only leave a "hairy son-in-law to come to the door and have three pots of thin porridge." The contrast is so great that every time the young man "visits his relatives", he has to compete with his parents repeatedly to get more gifts, so as not to be ugly and uncomfortable after going to the door. No wonder there is a local saying that "it's better to have a spoon broken in the pot than to see a gift thin". Usually, the wife's family only cares about the gifts of "visiting relatives" at 4: 18, but when it comes to "calling", it is quite elegant to send "calling gifts". "Talking" is actually the man's family asking the woman's family to "bring someone"! To put it bluntly, it means that the man wants to get married and asks the woman if she agrees. This is a call. In the local area, there are only two kinds of calls: one is that the man hints with a gift first, and the other is that he gives a gift and then asks the matchmaker to say it orally. From this point of view, this "call ceremony" is indispensable. Send a phone call gift, mostly in the Mid-Autumn Festival that year. In addition to the gifts that should be prepared for the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, if you want to get married in the new year, you have to send a pair of geese and a pair of lotus roots-both of which are exquisite. Goose, for one thing, shows that the son-in-law is loyal and honest, and for another, the goose cries "Ga, Ga, Ga, Oh", which means "marry me", and the girl naturally understands its meaning. It is often said that villages are adjacent to villages and their customs are different. That's true. Both belong to the lower reaches of the river in the middle of Jiangsu, and some places do not send geese, but send a pair of ducks. The meaning is very clear. Ducks are pawned, and they can't run away after raising their sons. It is said that ducks are sent to Gaoyou and Xinghua. Isn't it too far to think of pledging your son before you get married? It seems that the local people attach great importance to the matter of spreading the clan. Another indispensable object in the call ceremony: lotus root, for one thing, I hope that the girl will "get out of the mud and not be stained", and for another, the woman will not block this marriage, and she can "get along smoothly" and "connect with silk" like lotus root. Whenever the woman's family saw the goose lotus root from the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony of the hairy-footed son-in-law, they knew in their hearts that the girl would soon become a husband's family member. If you agree to the girl's marriage, the woman can accept a goose (or a duck) and a lotus root, and if you don't agree, return it all. Never give up easily when you refuse to accept gifts. The woman's refusal to accept gifts is sometimes just a tactic. Everyone knows that when a man is married, when a woman is married, it can't be stopped. Not to say that women's universities don't stay, stay and stay and become enemies! At this juncture, we have to listen to what the woman's parents left behind. Some said, "The girl is still young." Some said, "How much food does a girl earn for her family a year?" This and so on are just excuses for asking for more money gifts, deliberately raising the girl's worth. As long as you ask the matchmaker to come forward and give the woman's family a face, it is probably not a problem to hold a happy event in the New Year, although you can safely choose a wedding day and "send the day". Taixing Dialect All the dialects in Taixing belong to Jianghuai Mandarin, which is the northern Mandarin of Chinese. They are located at the southernmost edge of the vast Mandarin dialect area (Jingjiang City, which is separated from Taixing by a river, belongs to Wu Dialect area), and are located at the intersection of Jianghuai Dialect and Wu Dialect. They have their internal characteristics such as pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar, and external characteristics such as culture and language application. Historically, Taixing dialect is mostly connected with the northern dialect, and is based on Wu dialect. It has both the north and the south, and the old and the new are intertwined. Although there are many changes caused by interpersonal communication, intermarriage and migration, it has little impact on the whole. The internal consistency of Taixing dialect is very strong, with slight regional differences. The pronunciation of Taixing dialect is divided into flat volumes. Taixing Dasheng Jiang Hua and other towns say Z, while other towns and villages generally say zh, C and ch are also different, while some places in the north of Taixing are close to Taizhou, and their voices are accented and different. Qiwei Town in Taixing faces Changzhou across the river and is close to Jingjiang because of its riverside, and its dialect is quite different from other towns and villages.

administrative divisions

by the end of p>2114, 23 towns and 1 townships were under their jurisdiction. In July, 2117, with the approval of the provincial people's government, Taixing implemented administrative division adjustment for Taixing Town, Guochuan Town, Dasheng Town, Nansha Town and Xiqiao Town. The specific plan is: merge Nansha Town with Xiqiao Town to establish a new Xiqiao Town, and the town government is located in the east of Xiqiao Town. After the adjustment of administrative divisions, Xiqiao Town has an administrative area of 64.18 square kilometers and a population of 64,611, and has jurisdiction over 2 community neighborhood committees and 21 village committees. Cancel Chuanchuan Town and Dasheng Town, merge the area under the jurisdiction of the former Chuanchuan Town with Tianxingqiao Neighborhood Committee and eight village committees of Yangsi, Jiangzha, Hongqi, Wuyang, Lunian, Fanshen, Tianxing and Xinxing under the jurisdiction of the former Dasheng Town, and establish Binjiang Town, with the town government in Wuyang; The five village committees of Dasheng, Sanlian, Sanyang, Caixiang and Caiqiao in Dasheng Town were placed under the jurisdiction of Taixing Town. After the adjustment of administrative divisions, Binjiang Town has an administrative area of 75.3 square kilometers and a population of 59,311, and has jurisdiction over two community neighborhood committees.
