Named after salt, it has a long history.

Duyan County has been established in Yancheng since the fourth year of Yuanshou in the Western Han Dynasty (BC 1 19). At that time, salt pavilions and salt rivers were everywhere, and "blasphemy" was the river that transported salt. In AD 7 (AD 4 1 1), the Eastern Jin Emperor Yi was renamed Yancheng County, which was named after the "salt field around the city". After more than two thousand years of historical precipitation, Yancheng exudes a strong sea salt culture everywhere. In ancient times, it was famous for its rich "Huai salt", which was called "the land with a bosom" in ancient times. As early as the Warring States period, there was a saying that "cooking the sea is salt", and "Historical Records" contained "the East China Sea is free of sea salt". During the Qin and Han dynasties, "cooking the sea for profit and crossing the canal for transportation" has become a prosperous place for fishing and salt. In the Tang Dynasty, there were only "123 salt pavilions" in Yancheng, Huainan Salt Field, which was "rich in the southeast and half out of the border". During the reign of Tang Baoying, there were Hailing Supervisor and Yancheng Supervisor, who cooked more than one million mangokus of salt every year. At that time, Yancheng had become an important salt production center in the southeast coast.

Yancheng is a veritable salt capital. Among the place names in various places, there are some names related to the production and operation of salt industry, such as Tuan, Zao, Zong, Tu and Cang. "Tuan" is a production form of "mining and frying" by production organizations in salt areas and kitchen households. Each saltworks has several regiments, and each regiment has several cooks. In the old days, the regiments were mostly distributed in Dongtai and Dafeng in the ancient Huainan salt area, such as Nantuan, Xituan and Biantuan. At present, there are still 18 villages and 48 natural village groups in Xituan Town, Dafeng. "Stove" is an important facility for people to fry salt. China has six towns, including Touzao, Sanzao and Sizao, and 85 villages and 368 natural village groups are also named after "Zao". "General" is the unit where the people of Yanchang live together. In the early Ming Dynasty, there was a large-scale "Hongwu exile", and immigrants came to the desert seashore to burn salt. In order to manage the chefs scattered along the coast, there are many venues arranged in order. During Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, there were 30 general managers in Dongtai Fuan Salt Field. Today, the names of coastal towns and villages still retain the names of "general", "general" and "general", and there are 7 villages and 37 natural village groups in China named after "general". "Cang", that is, salt storage, was once the temporary storage place of saltworks in Biancang Town, tinghu district, which is famous for dead peony. There is also Sancang Town in Dongtai, and the 1 1 village and 18 natural village group named after "Cang".

Yancheng was a land in ancient times, and later Lu Chen became a coastal plain. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it can be confirmed that Yancheng became land at least 20,000 to 30,000 years ago. The discovery of stone tools and bone implements in Yangzhai, Funing County shows that there were traces of primitive tribal groups who lived by fishing and hunting in Yancheng at the latest in the late Neolithic period 4000 years ago. As early as the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the bird of the Emperor Lu ordered the Yi people to move south. On the way, some Yimin stayed in Yancheng to settle down. They can be said to be the early pioneers of Yancheng.

Salt industry, fishery and agriculture are developed in Yancheng history, especially the production of Huai salt. In the pre-Qin period, salt was cooked sporadically. From the Western Han Dynasty to the mid-Qing Dynasty, Huai salt was always one of the main financial resources of the feudal dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, Yancheng was also one of the main seaports in China. According to the old and new records of the Tang Dynasty, Korean monks named Sheng Da, Silla King, Jin Shixin, Japanese Ambassador Makoto Suta, Shi Gen of Xiao Ye and Ma Lu of Abe all landed in Yancheng and went to Chang 'an or went to sea. During the Hongwu period of Ming Dynasty, in order to restore the coastal economy, Zhu Yuanzhang immigrated from Suzhou and Songjiang on a large scale, and the population of Yancheng increased greatly. Yancheng's handicraft industry is also quite developed. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zhou Yetie and Li Fang set off fireworks in Jianhu, Cao Shi woodcarving in Dongtai, down feather fans and clay sculptures in Binhai, Xituan hair embroidery in Dafeng, and Mufurong cloth in Anfeng, Dongtai, were all famous products between Jianghuai.

After the Southern Anhui Incident, the headquarters of the New Fourth Army was rebuilt in Yancheng, with Chen Yi as acting commander and Liu Shaoqi as political commissar. Since then, Yancheng has become the heart of the anti-Japanese base areas in northern Jiangsu and central China. The Party School of the Central China Bureau, the Anti-Japanese Dawu Branch and the Lu Yi Huazhong Branch have trained a large number of anti-Japanese cadres for the Party in Yancheng. Liu Shaoqi, Chen Yi and other revolutionaries of the older generation left their battle footprints. 1947+00 Yancheng was liberated at the end of the year. 1948 In the first half of the year, the whole Yanfu District returned to the people's arms and became the rear area of the war of liberation, which contributed to the victory of the Huaihai Campaign and the Battle of Crossing the River and the liberation of China.

On the land of Yanfu, Chen Lin, one of the "seven sons of Jian 'an" in Xiong Wen, was born. There was a famous doctor Xu Daodu in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and a water conservancy expert Feng Daoli in the Qing Dynasty. In Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were poets Wu Jiaji and Chen Yushu, calligrapher Song Cao, painter Wan Lan and storyteller Liu Jingting.
