Historical evolution

In the early Song Dynasty, the lower reaches of Wusong River were blocked, and the water transportation was diverted. In the early Yuan Dynasty, the market was gradually formed by the Caohe River. In the Hongzhi period of Ming Dynasty, the market was formed by the trade of many foreign merchants. Because it is located in Huating County, it was named after the water transportation center. In the early Qing Dynasty, the Wusong River was dredged, and the commercial market declined sharply. In the Jiaqing period, it was called Huacao City, and in the Tongzhi period, it was called "the market was quiet".

In 1942 (31 years of the Republic of China), during the Japanese puppet "Qingxiang" period, the grain market set up stalls.

In 1949, there were 41 shops with 46 employees, including 9 Yanshi shops, 4 Xianrou shops, 4 barber shops, 3 restaurants, 3 teahouses and 3 drugstores. In the 1950s, it was reduced to more than 10.
