The Historical Evolution of Baguazhou Street

The history of the formation of Baguazhou can be traced back to the Southern Song Dynasty. According to textual research, Huangtiandang, the ancient battlefield of the famous anti-gold campaign in the Southern Song Dynasty, is located in the lower reaches of Qingzhou (the prototype of Baguazhou), and today Baguazhou evolved from Qingzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the 23rd year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (1684), sporadic immigrants began to live in the southwest corner of Baguazhou (formerly known as Qilizhou), and in the 51st year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (17 12), villagers began to reclaim land on the mainland.

According to Baguazhou's Monument to Villagers' Uprising, in the fifty-eighth year of Kangxi (17 18), this place was under the jurisdiction of Shangyuan County (now Nanjing), indicating that Baguazhou and its residents had been included in the household registration management of the government at that time.

In the 16th year of Qing Qianlong (175 1), Emperor Qianlong boarded Yanziji, and wrote a poem entitled "Only when I was happy, the sand turned into a green field, and the kitchen smoke village plowed for a long time", in which "green field" refers to Baguazhou, and "kitchen smoke village plowed" shows that a considerable number of villagers lived in Baguazhou at that time. Because it looks like straw sandals, it was once called straw sandals island. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to the merger with another Qilizhou, it gradually became a kind of gossip, and it is even more famous today.

According to research, the name of Baguazhou has a history of more than 300 years. There are two opinions about the origin of the name of Baguazhou: one is named after the shape of "Bagua"; There is also "Ming Taizu's Ma Huanghou lost the gossip jade in the middle of the river, which formed the gossip island" (a folk legend circulating on gossip island).

In the 16th year of the Republic of China (1927), after the establishment of the National Government, Baguazhou became the urban area of Nanjing. At that time, there were more than 3,000 banners in Nanjing, and Baguazhou was the land cultivated by banners. Later, a large number of poor people from Wuwei, Anhui Province and Pixian County, Jiangsu Province moved to Baguazhou, and Baguazhou, where reeds were everywhere, became the place where they cultivated and settled.
