Evolution of organizational system in Pingtung County

Today's Pingtung County and Kaohsiung City in Taiwan Province, Ming and Zheng belonged to Wannian country, and were renamed Fengshan County in Qing Dynasty. Today, Pingtung County is separated by a wide Gaoping River (called Danshui River in Qing Dynasty), and the traffic is relatively inconvenient. Therefore, as early as A.D. 1664, although Zheng Jing vigorously promoted the reclamation system, it was still between the early days of Kangxi's rule of Taiwan in the Qing Dynasty, and the area east of Xiadanshuixi (which was then divided into two miles of Hegangxi) was probably inhabited by Hakkas from Jiayingfu, Guangdong Province (now Meizhou City), with four surnames: Yang, Zhang, Zheng and Gu. In addition, the Minnan ethnic group, which originated from Zhang Quan and Quanzhou, Fujian, seemed to come here less at first.

Around the 23rd year of Kangxi (1684), the Minnan ethnic groups from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, Fujian Province began to establish villages and cultivate nearby. The first batch of Minnan people who came to explore Pingtung were also from Haicheng County, Zhangzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province. Today, Pingtung City has been reclaimed. After emigrating from Guangdong province, the earliest record is that Minnan people from Zhangzhou came to Pingtung to explore.

Therefore, with the increasing number of Han people in Pingtung County today, Fengshan County in Qing Dynasty also set up a "Xiadanshui Inspection Department" in today's Pingtung County (then commonly known as the east of Xiadanshui River), which is equivalent to the dispatching unit of Fengshan County, but this is not a real administrative area.

In the 60th year of Kangxi (172 1), Lan Dingyuan, also a native of Zhangzhou, came to Taiwan Province with his cousin Lan Tingzhen, the viceroy of South Australia, to pacify the Zhu Yigui incident. After that, many clan soldiers such as Lan Jia 100 did not return and settled in Ali Port (now Ligang Township) for reclamation and development. From this point of view, in the early stage of the development of Taiwan Province Province, most of the Minnan ethnic groups in this county immigrated from Zhangzhou, while Quanzhou people seem to immigrate to Pingtung less. In the 12th year of Yongzheng (1734), most of Pingtung Plain was reclaimed.

Today, Pingtung City, the largest city in Pingtung County, was originally named Monkey, but it was originally a Pingpu settlement in the early days of Japanese occupation. Because a monkey is located in the east of Banping Mountain in Kaohsiung City, the place name "A Monkey" was later renamed as Pingtung by the Japanese during the Japanese occupation.

In the twenty-ninth year of Qing Qianlong (1764), today's Pingtung City has developed from a village to a street that has begun to take shape. In the 16th year of Daoguang (1836), the government and the people worked together to build the Monkey City Fortress, with four gates, east, west, north and south. At this point, the construction of Pingtung Street was completed.

The peninsula area south of Pingtung County was included in Hengchun County and Jianhengchun County from Fengshan County in the first year of Guangxu (1875).

Pingtung County, Ming and Zheng belong to the country of ten thousand years, and it was called Fengshan County in Qing Dynasty.
