Historical evolution

Shengkang, the residence of the town government, was an important Wharf in the middle reaches of Fenshui. Since the Sui Dynasty, it has been a rural trade market. In ancient times, it was desolate, overgrown with weeds and infested by black tigers. It was originally called "black tiger Valley". During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, when the flood broke out, the triangle where the Nanhe River and the Huangtu River confluenced became a small impact plain. Due to the prominent ancient mountains on the North Bank of the Nanhe River, the silt water suddenly turned from north to South and flowed eastward, resulting in a steep pit with a thousand feet of broken bank. Therefore, the residents of the area took the surname Sheng as the most, so it was called "Sheng" "Home" or "Sheng" for short has been used up to now. Its original name is shengkeng Town, and its phonetic alphabet is k ā ng. Since shengkeng town has not been included in the list, the post office and other departments have been using shengkeng town and shengkeng instead of shengkeng town. At present, it has been corrected to Shengkang town. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Shengkang had become a commercial market town and an important wharf for the land transportation of local products and agricultural and sideline products. There are "one hall, two halls, three temples, four in one, eight wells and silver water pouring" in the town, known as "Golden Dragon Palace". During the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong once stationed troops in Leizu Hall of Shengkang. During the great revolution, Li Shi, Gao Rusong and Yu Yian were sent to Shengkang by the special committee of the Communist Party of China in Northern Hubei to carry out revolutionary activities. They successively absorbed 11 revolutionary backbones, including Li Xiaoge, Li Taoan, Li Lin, Huang Songyi, Fu Chunquan, Fu Boji and Huang zongyou, and sowed the revolutionary fire. In 1926, the first party branch of Gucheng County of the Communist Party of China was established in leizudian, which became an earlier revolutionary area in Northwest Hubei. In the spring of 1927, Gao Rusong and Huang zongyou, the leaders of Shengkang underground party, mobilized the masses to establish the District farmers' Association and 14 villagers' associations, with more than 10000 farmers joining the association. At the same time, they established the peasant armed forces, namely the peasant self-defense army. On the eighth day of the third month of the lunar calendar, the Shengkang peasant self defense army annihilated the Kuomintang Jianguo military department stationed in Wuchang temple in front of it. Shengkang Town, with a glorious tradition of revolutionary struggle, still has the story of "attacking the founding army skillfully and capturing the enemy Liu Kun alive". In 1928, under the leadership of the underground party organization, the three great riots of Shengkang, Shihua and Gucheng shocked the northwest of Hubei Province, which shook the ruling foundation of the reactionaries in the northwest of Hubei Province. During the Anti Japanese War, Tieda factory, directly under the leadership of the Party committee of Northwest Hubei, was built in Shengkang in 1939. In 1940, it opened a spinning factory in leizudian and a weaving factory in dawangmiao. According to the party's instructions, it formulated the policy of "peacetime production, training cadres and fighting guerrillas". During the war of liberation, Shengkang was liberated on May 28, 1948, and the Third District People's Government of Gucheng County was established at the same time. From July 1948 to may 1949, the Tongbai District Committee of the Communist Party of China, the organs and Secretary of the Hannan Working Committee of the Communist Party of China, tingfa, and the organs of Gucheng County Committee of the Communist Party of China were all stationed in Shengkang. During this period, the people of Shengkang provided a large number of materials for the liberation of Northwest Hubei, such as grain, cotton, cloth, military uniform and so on. In the historical revolutionary war, the people of Shengkang, together with the people of the whole country, fought bravely, sacrificed blood and persevered, contributing to the final destruction of the Jiang Dynasty. In 1950, Shengkang street was designated as a town under the jurisdiction of the county; in 1953, it was still the third district; in July 1956, the whole county withdrew the district to build a township, and Shengkang became Fuwan Daxiang; in 1958, when the people's commune was transformed into Xinhuo people's commune; in 1960, the commune was changed into the third district, with eight communes under its jurisdiction, including Shengkang street, Fuwan, Huanggang, dangpu, Nanhe, Longtan, Wenping and Xiaogou; in September 1975, the districts were withdrawn and merged, and Wenping, Longtan and Xiaogou were merged Three communes of pawnshops were set aside, and Shengkang district was changed into Shengkang people's commune.
