The horizontal fan is located at 31° north latitude and 120°30’ east longitude, in the southwest of Wujiang City.

It borders Gushan Village, Pingwang Town, to the east; Fulian Village, Miaogang Town (now Miaogang Community, Qidu Town) to the west; Nanhu and Xinhu Village, Wanping Town (now Wanping Community, Hengshan Town) to the north; and Meiyan to the south.

Zhen Yutang Village.

Hengshan Town is adjacent to the west of Cangzhoudang, about three kilometers from Dongtai Lake in the north; 12 kilometers from Pingwang Town; 9 kilometers from Zhenze; ??and about 19 kilometers from the urban area. It has a superior location and is convenient to nearby major towns.

Hengfan is located in the Taihu Lake impact plain, with a mild climate and fertile land. It has long been known as the "water town and the land of plenty" and the "land of fish and rice".

In the second year of Kaiping in the Later Liang Dynasty (AD 908), the Monk Temple Road built a Chongwu Temple in Chongpu Village (today's Miaoqian Village).

Before the Song Dynasty, there was a gravel street running from northwest to southeast, which became a market of its own.

In the Ming Dynasty, it came under the jurisdiction of the four capitals of Fanyu Shangxiang.

After the mid-Ming Dynasty, people gradually gathered here, and the center began to move here from Puxi.

During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty (1723-1735 AD), Taihu Lake's fishery prospered year by year. According to the record on the wall of the original township office: "On the banks of the reed beach (there were thick reeds along the bank of Cangzhou Beach at that time), the fishermen used their trumpets as their trumpets, and they gathered in groups as a market place.

There are two or three wine shops in between for the enjoyment of fishermen. They often dry sails and mend their nets, and the fishermen and farmers have a rest area." According to Qianlong's "Zhenze County Chronicles": "The horizontal fans have upper (Gangnan) and lower (Hong Kong).

Gangbei) Two Fans. There were only three or four wine shops in the past, and there were few private houses. Since the Yongzheng period, residents have converged and goods have gathered together, and the market has not diminished.

The market became increasingly prosperous and became a trading center for agricultural, sideline and fishery products by Taihu Lake.

During the Daoguang period, some refugees from Henan Province fled here and reclaimed wasteland on the south beach of Taihu Lake.

The Taihu Lake area has abundant natural fertilizers and abundant water resources. The refugees worked hard and harvested abundantly, and finally settled down.

The success of Henan people's reclamation of lake fields undoubtedly contributed to the economic development of Hengfan.

In the second year of Xuantong (1910 AD), Hengfan Town was established.

Around the 20th year of the Republic of China, Hengfan entered the ranks of the "seven major towns and three small towns" in Wujiang County.

On December 22, 2011, with the approval of the Jiangsu Provincial Government, Hengshan Town was abolished and the original administrative area of ??Hengshan Town was merged into Wujiang Binhu New City (Songling Town).

East and west are "horizontal" and north and south are "straight". These are the terms since ancient times.

The origin of the "horizontal" in the horizontal fan is that there is a river named "Henggang" in the area - there is a straight port (Group 10, Beiqian Village) at the west end of the town as evidence; "fan" is a unit of measurement for acres of land.

Yihou is a village unit.

This is a hypothesis about the origin of horizontal fans.

There is also a local ballad in Wu language as evidence: "The banks of Cangzhou run across Henggang, and the ants ripple along the edges to lock the fan shape." This ballad also provides an argument for the naming of "Hengfan".

The "fan" of the horizontal fan was called "earth fan" before the 1960s.

Hengshan Town covers an area of ??82.028 square kilometers and is 19 kilometers away from Wujiang City. It is located in the Taihu Lake impact plain, bordering Taihu Lake in the north and Taipu River in the south.

The climate is mild, green water surrounds the house, the land is fertile, and the lake is beautiful. It has always been a prosperous country with the fragrance of fish and rice.

Hengshan Town has a long history.

In the spring of 1960, archaeologist Chen Bangfu unearthed several fragments of copper fragments in an ancient tomb, which were later verified to be fragments of the Yue King Bell from the Spring and Autumn Period (770 BC - 470 BC).

This shows that as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the Hengfan area not only had ancestors living together and thriving, but also laid the foundation for politics, economy, and culture.

According to the census of cultural relics, there are not only cultural traces of the Taihu Neolithic period in Hengfan, but also actual historical sites of Sidu and Chongpu.

The construction of Chongwu Temple in Chongpu (today's Sidu Village - the old Miaoqian Village) in the second year of Kaiping in Houliang Dynasty (908 AD) is a symbol of the long history of horizontal fans.

Due to the large scale of the Chongwu Temple, it attracted faithful men and women from all over to pay homage and offer incense, so Chongpu gradually evolved into the center of the Hengfan area and became its own market.

In the 10th year of Dade in the Yuan Dynasty (AD 1306), a flood occurred and all the cities were flooded. After that, the market moved westward to Cangzhou Dangpan year by year.

Because of the allusion in the Wu saying that "Cangzhou Dang bank runs across Henggang, and ants ripple along the edge to lock the fan shape", it was later conventionally called "Hengfan".

During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty (1723-1735 AD), the horizontal fan fishery prospered year by year, and Cangzhou Dangpan became the distribution center for Taihu Lake's aquatic products.

Other industries, firms, and personnel providing commercial services to fishery traders began to increase in due course.

During the Qianlong and Jiaqing dynasties, with the further development of the area's agricultural, sideline and fishery industries, the market increasingly prospered from the bank to the west, taking on the appearance and scale of a small town from its rudimentary form.

Finally, in the second year of Xuantong (AD 1910), Hengfan Town was officially established.

Around the 20th year of the Republic of China, it entered the ranks of the "seven major towns and three small towns" in Wujiang County.

The northern part of the Hengshan area (today's Wanping Community) was still a barren Taihu tidal flat before the mid-Qing Dynasty.

During the Daoguang period, the Yellow River Basin suffered from natural and man-made disasters year after year. Some refugees came here to reclaim wasteland, encircle fences, and work hard. After years of hard work and hard work, they had cultivated 80,000 to 90,000 acres of farmland by the time of the Republic of China.

Relying on the availability of living conditions, the number of foreign settlers seeking survival is increasing day by day. According to statistics in the 1990s, the total population of the area exceeded 15,000, coming from 16 provinces (cities), 114 counties (cities), and 11 ethnic groups.
