2 Historical evolution
Wuhu has a history of more than 2600 years. The earliest site is Jiuzi, which is located on the south bank of Shuiyangjiang, about 40 miles southeast of the city. Zuo Zhuan said, "In the third year of Duke Xiang of Lu (570 BC), Chu attacked Wu and conquered nine sons. As for Hengshan. " The Hengshan Mountain mentioned here is the Hengshan Mountain in the northeast of dangtu county. Jiuzicheng site is located at the end of the erosion mound extending northward on the south bank of Shuiyangjiang River. From this, the terrain to the west is low and flat, mostly in hutang swamp area. Because there are many grasses in the lake and marsh, there are many pigeons and birds, so they are named Jiuzi, also known as "Dog Son", "Gao Zi" and "Zhuzi". There is a long lake near Jiuzi, named Wuhu because of "the water is not deep and weeds grow". At that time, this section of Shuiyangjiang was called Zhongjiang, with the Yangtze River in the west and Taihu Lake in the east, which was an important east-west traffic waterway. Jiuzi is the ferry that controls Zhongjiang, and its position is very important. In 109 BC, that is, in the second year of Han Yuanfeng, Jiuzi had set up a county and changed its name to Wuhu, which was the early city of Wuhu.
After the establishment of Wuhu County in BC 109, Wuhu became increasingly important due to frequent wars in the Three Kingdoms. Wu is located in Jiangdong, and Cao Wei takes the Yangtze River as a natural barrier. However, its major towns are far from the Yangtze River. In order to meet the military needs, in the second year of Huang Wu (223), Sun Quan moved Wuhu County from Jiuzi to the southeast corner of the city, not far from the mouth of Qingyi River (the old rule of Jiuzi was not reused), making it the oldest urban area in Wuhu today. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wuhu has become an important town in Linjiang. In 324 AD, General Wang Dun stationed troops in Maofeng Mountain to build a city, so he was called "Wang Duncheng". In the 9th year of Yixi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (4 13), Wuhu entered Xiangyuan County, and the county-level administrative system of Wuhu was abolished. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Wuhu was a town in dangtu county. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Wuhu County was restored in Shengyuan (937 ~ 943) in the Southern Tang Dynasty. From then on, Wuhu was established as a county-level administration until 1949.
During the Song Dynasty, the national economic center of gravity gradually moved south. In order to promote the development of agriculture, large areas of lakes and swamps have been turned into fertile fields. There are Zheng He Wei, Xing Chun Wei, Tao Xin Wei and Wan Chun Wei in Wuhu area. The development of agricultural economy has promoted the rise of handicrafts and commerce, and the urban area has also expanded rapidly. Wuhu became a famous city along the Yangtze River at that time. 1 1 At the beginning of the century, Wuhu built a wall called Song Cheng. gold cup

Outside the gate, the high city board, the east gate, and the Drum Tower Mountain are all sites of Song Cheng. During the Jian Yan period of the Southern Song Dynasty (1127 ~1130), nomadic people invaded the south continuously, and Wuhu City was burned to ruins by soldiers. In the seventh year of Xichun (1 180), another city was built, but it was not as prosperous as before. Wuhu County was restored in the early Yuan Dynasty, with a population of about 50,000, and was destroyed by fire in the late Yuan Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, Wuhu's economy gradually recovered and developed. Businessmen and craftsmen from all over the world flocked to operate various industries, especially printing and dyeing and steelmaking, and goods from the north and the south gathered together. In the third year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1575), Wuhu was rebuilt, and most of it coincided with Song Cheng. During the 200-odd years of the Qing Dynasty (before 1876), Wuhu's commerce and handicrafts continued to develop, becoming a new industrial and commercial city, forming a commercial center from Qingyi River to Jiangkou, which was called "Shili Long Street" in history and achieved unprecedented prosperity.
After the Opium War, China became a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society. Wuhu has become an important stronghold of imperialist economic aggression because of its important traffic location and economic conditions. In the second year of Guangxu (1876), Wuhu was listed as a trading port in the Sino-British Yantai Treaty. The following year, Britain set up a consular office in Van Luoshan and divided the beach along the river into a concession. Subsequently, the United States, Russia, France, Japan and other imperialists invaded one after another, and on 1902, they started from Taogou in the south and reached Iraq in the north.

46.5 hectares of land from Jishan Mountain to Ordinary Mountain in the east and the bank of the Yangtze River in the west are designated as public concessions. Since then, a large number of foreign goods have flooded into Wuhu market, which not only seriously damaged traditional national industries, but also stimulated the abnormal development of commerce. At the same time, a large number of grain, agricultural and sideline products and mineral raw materials were plundered and transported away at low prices. They build roads, docks, warehouses, stacks, buildings, churches, hospitals, schools and so on. Concession made the urban area of Wuhu develop from the banks of Qingyi River to the northwest along the right bank of the Yangtze River, expanding the urban area.
After the opening of the port to trade, due to the geographical and economic constraints, the bureaucratic comprador represented by Li Hongzhang took political measures, which made rice merchants gather in Wuhu to open rice shops, and the center of the rice market moved from Zhenjiang to Wuhu, becoming the first of the four famous rice markets in China. Every year, there is a saying that "Wuhu exports five or six million stones to ten million stones of rice grain", and "it is piled up like a mountain and sold like a river". At the same time, bureaucratic comprador capital and national capital opened new factories and other small factories such as Yuzhong cotton mill, Mingyuan power plant and Yixin flour mill, but most of them were forced to close down or close down due to imperialist aggression and intensified squeezing. Due to the abnormal economic development, a large area of vacant land between the old city and foreign concessions has been turned into new streets, further expanding the urban area. The population has increased from more than 10000 in 1745 to more than 19 15. [ 1]
