Evolution of organizational system

In the 11th year of Daye of Sui Dynasty (615), the fahua nunnery, located in the present Shajiabang Town, built Langcheng, which became a residential area for villagers. Later, the villagers moved eastward and gradually concentrated in the narrow area of Youjing River and Yuxi River. They built houses by bridges and gradually became a market, formerly known as Youjing River, also known as Yuxi River. In the Tang Dynasty, Shajiabang town is located in Changshu County, which belongs to Shuangfeng township. In the second year of Baoyou in the Southern Song Dynasty (1254), there are Hengjing, Yangao, bize, Jinze, Sanjia village and caodang villages in the west of Shajiabang Town, which belong to moxili, the 43rd capital of Shuangfeng Township in Changshu County, and jinxianli, the 43rd capital of Shuangfeng Township in Changshu County, in the east of Tang city. in the Yuan Dynasty, duxiali was changed to Tu, moxie Li and Jinxian Li were changed to Mo Xie Tu and Jinxian Tu respectively. During the Zhengtong period of Ming Dynasty (1436-1449), it belonged to the 43rd capital of Shuangfeng Township, such as jinxianli, Langcheng, moxieli, etc. Most of the townspeople living on the Bank of Youjing River were Tang surnames. They further developed Youjing and gradually prospered. Therefore, they changed their name to Tang City, which belongs to jinxianli, the 43rd capital of Shuangfeng township. In 1726, Changshu and Zhaowen were divided into two counties, which still belonged to Shuangfeng township of Changshu county. In 1910, local autonomy was carried out. Chang and Zhao counties were divided into four cities and 31 townships. In the east of Shajiabang Town, Dongtang city was set up, covering Shipai and Lishi; in the west, HENGJING township was set up, covering Hengjing and rubang. In the first year of the Republic of China (1912), Changshu and Zhaowen counties were restored and merged into Changshu county. Changshu county was still established as a city and township. The territory's division remained unchanged. Each city and township set up a board of directors to exercise administrative functions. in August 1929, the township system was implemented below the county level.
