Why is Zaozhuang called Zaozhuang?

Zaozhuang, an urban resident of Zaozhuang, formed a village in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It is named Zaozhuang because it has many jujube trees. 196 1 officially used after the city was established.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court allowed private mining. In the truffle area, "villagers dug mountains to get stones, used grinding as grinding, and dug wells to get coal, taking salary as profit". With the exploitation of coal, immigrants gradually moved to live around "Yao Bei Kiln".

In various settlements, people either use surnames or names such as village records. The more famous villages are: Jinzhuang, Sanhezhuang, Zaozhuang and so on. In the first year of the Republic of China, ZTE's articles of association were formally implemented, which stipulated that "the company's total mine is located in Zaozhuang, north of Yixian". At this point, Zaozhuang place names began to become famous in the society.

Extended data:

There were human activities in Zaozhuang city four or five hundred thousand years ago. As early as 7300 years ago in the Neolithic Age, ancestors created a "northern new culture" on this land, which is the oldest archaeological discovery in Huanghuai area and the source of Dongyi culture.

In the pre-Qin period, Zaozhuang had seven ancient city states, namely, Xuezhou, Tengzhou, Guangzhou, Nizhou, Gui State and Forced Yang State, which was one of the states with the densest distribution of ancient capitals in China.

There are many famous people in Zaozhuang, and the sage Mozi, the originator of human car-making and advocating "universal love and non-aggression", a well-known figure in the Western Han Dynasty, and Jia Sanjin, the author of Jin Ping Mei, were born. It is also the hometown of He Jingzhi, a famous contemporary poet and master of literature and art, and Wang Xuezhong, a famous calligrapher.

The history of Zaozhuang is closely related to the Canal. According to archaeological discoveries, the earliest canal in China, the Forced Yang Canal, was dug in the Spring and Autumn Period. Zaozhuang section of Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, dug in the thirty-second year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty, flows through Taierzhuang, Yicheng, Xuecheng and Tengzhou in the city, with a total length of 93.9 kilometers, and flows into the Yellow River from Lijiagang in Xiazhen to Pizhou branch estuary. Because Weihe River is the main supplementary water source, it is called Chen Canal in history.

Its opening changed the situation that the traffic route between Beijing and Hangzhou was blocked by the Yellow River flood. For hundreds of years, it has played an important role in the transportation of grain from south to north, the circulation of materials and cultural exchanges. The completion of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has also promoted the economic prosperity along the canal.

Taierzhuang along the coast has rapidly developed into a "key town in southern Shandong". "Yi County Records" records: "Taierzhuang is close to the canal, with merchants' fields, and between Xu and Yan is also a metropolis." The gathering of merchants has brought cultural blending, and Taierzhuang ancient city has also become a typical representative of canal culture, which has the most distinctive characteristics of the blending of North and South cultures and the combination of Chinese and Western cultures on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Zaozhuang, known as the southern Shandong coal city, has a long history of coal mining and excellent coal quality. Li Hongzhang once said that Zaozhuang coal is "superior to Japanese clean coal and similar to British pine coal".

In the thirty years of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, the Records of Yixian recorded: "The first three generations had mining, and it was not abolished until the Tang and Five Dynasties." It is also recorded: "There were many old wells in Zaozhuang mining area during the Tang and Song Dynasties, and shallow wells opened by natives abound." In the Qing Dynasty, a large amount of coal was mined and shipped abroad.

In the fourth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang, governor of Zhili and minister of Beiyang, played the role of quasi-Qing court, and sent Dai Huazao, the magistrate of Zhili, to raise 50,000 yuan to set up Zhongxing Mining Bureau in Zaozhuang.

In the 25th year of Guangxu, Yi Yan Cao Jisi ordered Zhang Lianfen to come to Zaozhuang to co-organize Zaozhuang Coal Mine with the approval of the Qing government, founded the first joint-stock enterprise with national capital in China, "China Zhongxing Coal Mine Co., Ltd.", and issued the first stock in China.

Li and Xu Shichang are both presidents of the Republic of China, and Zhang Xueliang is also one of the largest shareholders. In 1930s, ZTE adopted mechanized coal mining and became the third largest coal mine in China after Fushun and Kailuan.

With its achievements and scale, ZTE has had a far-reaching impact on the history of China. It is the largest shareholder of Putin Line, the first railway in China. Built the Longhai Line; Participated in the construction of Qingdao Port, Lianyungang Port, Hankou Port, Jiangyin Port and Shanghai Port; The first presidents of Fudan University and Shandong University were sent by ZTE.

In the history of China's national industry, ZTE has become an iconic enterprise. Zaozhuang has therefore become the birthplace of modern national industrial civilization. After the founding of New China, it became the old industrial base of New China.

Zaozhuang is a heroic city with a glorious revolutionary tradition. In the 27th year of the Republic of China, under the leadership of Li Zongren, commander of the Fifth Theater, the vast southern Shandong area with Taierzhuang as the center of gravity launched a large-scale Taierzhuang campaign with the Japanese aggressors, and China's army won an unprecedented victory since the Anti-Japanese War. In 29 years of the Republic of China, under the leadership of China * * * Production Party, the Flying Tigers, founded in Zaozhuang, fought bloody battles with the Japanese army and defeated the Japanese invaders with guerrilla tactics.
