The Change and Origin of Fengjie Place Names

Fengjie was called Yu Fu in ancient times. In the 11th year of King Gengyuan of Qin Huiwen (314 BC), Qin was located in Ba County, and Yu Fu County was co-located with Ba County. In the first year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25 years), Gongsun Shu proclaimed himself emperor according to Shu, and built Baidicheng on the side hill of Qutangxia. In the second year of Zhangwu in Shu and Han Dynasties (222), after the battle of Yiling, Liu Bei retreated to Baidicheng and changed the fish to Yong 'an County. In the first year of Taikang in the Western Jin Dynasty (28), the name of Yufu County was restored. The Western Wei Dynasty abolished the emperor for three years (554 years), and changed fish into human beings. In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (649), in order to respect Zhuge Liang's quality of "trusting an orphan to send his life, but not taking it away", he was changed to Fengjie. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the rebels from Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong fought in Kuizhou for many times. After Zhang Xianzhong's death, the rest of the rebels formed "thirteen schools in Kuidong" and fought with the Qing army in eastern Sichuan. The war lasted for many years, and the people were repeatedly burned by soldiers, starved and infected, and there was a desolate scene of "no one in the village and no one in the road". During the reign of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, measures were taken to recruit people to reclaim land, such as neglecting taxes, exempting them from editing and never adding taxes. Poor people from other provinces moved into Sichuan in succession, and Fengjie population recovered and developed rapidly. To the first year of Jiaqing (1796), Fengjie added 118,854 men and women. This is the largest migration in Fengjie history, and today most Fengjie people trace their ancestors to the descendants of immigrants from other provinces. In the sixth year of Kangxi (1667), Daning County (now Wuxi County) was merged into fengjie county, and in the seventh year of Yongzheng (1729), Daning County was re-established. On the sixth day of October in the third year of Xuantong (1911), the people of fengjie county responded to the Revolution of 1911 and declared their independence. In 24 years of the Republic of China (1935), Sichuan government was unified, and Sichuan implemented the administrative supervision district system. The ninth administrative supervision district office was originally located in Fengjie, and later it was located in Wanxian. On December 3, 1949, Fengjie was peacefully liberated, and the fengjie county Municipal People's Government was established on December 19. Fengjie belongs to Wanxian area of Sichuan Province since 195, Wanxian area in 1968 and Wanxian city in 1992. In March 1997, he was transferred to Chongqing with Wanxian City, and then directly under Chongqing City.
