Name and its origin:

Qingyuan is also called Fengcheng because the map of Qingyuan looks like a phoenix. The name of Fengcheng also comes from a legend: a nest of phoenixes lived on a tall buttonwood tree near Qingyuan Workers' Cultural Palace, and a young man named Zhang Yi lived under the tree and made a living by boating. One year, the Beijiang River was flooded. As the saying goes, "Nanxiong fell into the water and sprinkled wet stones. He went to Shaoguan and rose three feet. He fell to half of Yingde and was immersed in Qingyuan." It can be seen that the flood was fierce, and Qingcheng was flooded at once. Zhang Yi held a boat to save people everywhere, and saved them under the buttonwood tree. When he heard the phoenix chirping, he found that the water level was almost immersed in the top of the tree, and the big phoenix went out to find food. The little phoenix's wings were not long enough, and when the water flooded the buttonwood tree, Zhang Yi quickly swam to the center of the tree and picked up the little phoenix in the nest, but Zhang Yi's feet were entangled in the parasitic vines of the tree and could not get away, so he had to put the little phoenix in the boat. Seeing this touching scene, I feel that people are willing to lay down their lives to save the phoenix, and they should also fulfill the young people's wish to save lives. They lie on the water and let the drowning people step on its back to escape. Finally, due to physical exhaustion, they also sacrificed, and Qingyuan looked like a phoenix. The place where the phoenix sacrificed was called Qifengli, so Qingcheng was named Fengcheng, and there were two phoenixes in Guangdong because another father, Phoenix, flew back.

Historical evolution:

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qingyuan belonged to Baiyue. After the Qin Dynasty unified China, it set up administrative organs to develop Lingnan, and Qingyuan belonged to Nanhai County and Changsha County. At the beginning of Han Dynasty, it belonged to Zhao Tuo. During the reign of Emperor Gaozu (26-195), Guiyang County (now Lianzhou), Yangshan County, Mianyang County and Hankuang County (Mian and Hanjin are in yingde city) were successively located, all belonging to Guiyang County. In the sixth year of Yuanding (the first 111 years), it was located in Zhongsu County (formerly Qingyuan County), belonging to Nanhai County.

during the three kingdoms period, all counties were subordinate to Shixing county.

Qingyuan County was established during the reign of Liang Tianjian in the Southern Dynasties (52-519), hence the name of Qingyuan, which governed five counties: Zhongsu, Weizheng, Pingping, Enqia and Fuhu. It is also located in Yangshan County, which governs Yangshan, Guiyang and Guangde (later renamed Guangze and Lianshan). Set up Hengzhou in Hankuang and lead Yangshan County.

In the 1th year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (59), Qingyuan County and its subordinate counties such as Zhongsu were abandoned, and Qingyuan County and Zhengbin County (now the riverside area of Qingxin County) were set up, which still belonged to Nanhai County. At the same time, the waste Yangshan County was relocated to Lianzhou, and Hengzhou was renamed as Kuangzhou. In 2 years (6 years), Kuangzhou was abandoned, and its county was transferred to guangzhou fu.

in the sixth year of Tang Wude (623), Zhengbin County was merged into Qingyuan County, which belonged to guangzhou fu. In the first year of Tianbao (742), Lianzhou was relocated to Lianshan County.

The Southern Han Dynasty enjoyed five years (921) and established Yingzhou in Mianyang County.

In the second year of Song Xuanhe (112), Yingzhou was renamed as Zhenyang County, and Hankuang and Mianyang were renamed as Hanguang County and Zhenyang County. In the first year of Qingyuan (1195), Zhenyang County was promoted to Yingde Prefecture.

In the 15th year of Yuan Dynasty (1278), Yingde Prefecture was changed to Yingde Road General Administration, and soon it was reduced to a state, including Guangyang County and Zhenyang County. In the first year of Qingyuan (1195), Zhenyang County was promoted to Yingde Prefecture.

In the second year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1396), Yingde County was renamed Yingde County, which belonged to Shaozhou Prefecture. In fourteen years, Lianzhou, Yangshan and Lianshan counties were changed to guangzhou fu.

in the fifth year of Yongzheng in Qing dynasty (1727), Lianzhou was Zhili prefecture in Guangdong province, leading Yangshan and Lianshan counties. In the 18th year of Jiaqing (1813), Qingyuan and Yingde counties set up Fogang Military and Civilian Department, Guangdong Chief Secretary (equivalent to county-level organizational system).

in the first year of the Republic of China (1912), Lianzhou was renamed as Lianxian. In 3 years, Fogang changed the hall to a county. During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Guangdong provincial government moved northward to Lian County, and all counties in Qingyuan were under the jurisdiction of the Second Administrative Supervision District of Guangdong Province (in Lian County). In 35 years of the Republic of China, Lianshan, Lianshan and Yangshan were divided into three counties, and Liannan County was newly established.

after the founding of the People's Republic of China, except Fogang County, which was under the jurisdiction of Shaoguan, Guangzhou and Foshan successively, all counties were under the jurisdiction of Beijiang Administrative Office, Shaoguan Special Agency and Shaoguan Administrative Office successively. In 1953, Liannan and Lianshan merged into Liannan Yao autonomy (later changed to county). In 1958, the four counties of Lianxian, Liannan, Lianshan and Yangshan were merged and called Lianyang Autonomous County. In the same year, Fogang and Conghua counties merged and became Conghua County. Yangshan county was restored in 196. In 1961, Fogang County was restored, which was under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou City. In 1961, Lianxian and Liannan Yao Autonomous County were restored. In 1962, Lianshan Zhuang and Yao County was established. In 1963, Fogang County was divided into Shaoguan area by Guangzhou. In July, 1983, the cities of Shaoguan merged, and Qingyuan and Fogang were classified as Guangzhou, while the other counties were under the jurisdiction of Shaoguan.

On January 7th, 1988, the State Council approved the revocation of Qingyuan County and the establishment of Qingyuan City. The former Qingyuan County was divided into two municipal districts: Qingcheng and Qingjiao (which were changed to Qingxin County in 1992), and Fogang County, which belongs to Guangzhou, Yangshan County, Lianshan Zhuang and Yao Autonomous County, Liannan Yao Autonomous County and Yingde County, which belongs to Qingyuan City (Yingde and Lianxian County were changed to county-level cities in 1994).

Economy:

Qingyuan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have fully implemented the strategies of industrialization, urbanization, marketization and back garden development, and established the leading industrial aspirations of the three major industries. The primary industry vigorously develops characteristic agriculture and promotes agricultural industrialization; The secondary industry focuses on developing high-tech and labor-intensive industries such as biomedicine, energy, ceramics, building materials, electronics, electrical appliances and light industry. The tertiary industry focuses on developing tourism and real estate. At present, the city has initially formed an industrial cluster with electric power, electronics, electrical appliances, ceramics, building materials, textiles and clothing, biomedicine and food processing as the pillar industries, with large, medium and small enterprises working together in a division of labor, and the upstream and downstream products are relatively matched. The industrial chain has been continuously extended and the supporting capacity has been gradually enhanced.

① Industry: The city has initially formed the leading industries of biomedicine, ceramics, building materials, electronics, food processing, chemicals, textiles, printing and dyeing, chemical fiber, light industry, toys, paper products and mechanical electrician, and established a number of large group enterprises and joint-stock companies officially listed in Guangdong Province. Private enterprises in the city have been fully supported by the municipal government to flourish, and there are nearly 1,5 at present.

② agriculture: from extensive and closed management to large-scale, intensive and open diversified management. Taking the agricultural development in mountainous areas as a breakthrough, we will focus on the development of "three highs" agriculture, and initially form a number of large-scale agricultural commodity production bases, such as high-quality vegetables, high-quality fruits, high-quality "three birds", off-season vegetables, Qingyuan ephedra chicken, bird mane goose, Qingyuan bamboo shoots and Beijiang aquaculture. The export products form two major export product systems, namely, industrial manufactured products mainly including ceramics, textiles, electromechanical products and toys, and agricultural and sideline products such as food.

Transportation:

Starting from Qingyuan City, it takes 3 minutes to drive to Guangzhou, 6 minutes to drive to Foshan and 9 minutes to drive to Shenzhen.

After the new Baiyun International Airport, which is only 28 kilometers apart, was officially put into use, Qingyuan City formed a developed three-dimensional transportation network of "land, sea and air".

Tourism:

Qingyuan is dominated by mountains and hills, where Dalong Mountain, Yaoshan Mountain and Yunkai Mountain meet with Beijiang River, Lianjiang River, Chenjiang River and Huanjiang River, thus giving birth to majestic and dangerous mountain canyons, pristine forests like the sea, lakes and hot springs as pure as boudoir, and bold and simple ethnic customs of Yao and Zhuang. Feixia Scenic Area, the first peak in Guangdong, Qingxin Wenquan, Baojing Palace, Yingxi Fenglin, Lianzhou Underground River, Huangchuan Three Gorges, Sanpai Yaozhai and Daxushan Waterfalls are all representative works of Qingyuan scenery. In recent years, the Qingyuan Drifting and Four-wheel Drive Off-road Vehicle Festival has shaped the overall image of "Qingyuan with mountains and rivers and a vibrant hometown".

Qingyuan's tourism development focuses on creating "five hotlines" such as fresh ecology, Feixia scenic spot, Yingxi strange peak forest, Yingfo lake, beautiful scenery and Lianyang ethnic customs, and "five brands" such as hot spring leisure, drifting feeling, landscape scenery, cave wonders and ethnic customs.
