Why did Huzhou lose Taihu Lake?

The reasons why Huzhou lost Taihu Lake are as follows:

1. It was needed to suppress bandits.

In the old society, the Taihu area was plagued by bandits, and more and more people were suppressed. In order to completely eliminate the bandits that have plagued Taihu Lake for hundreds of years and protect the normal production and life of the people, the state established the Taihu Bandit Suppression Headquarters of the Southern Jiangsu Military Region and established Zhenze County separately. Its jurisdiction covers the Taihu Lake, islands and areas along the lake. The port terminal is an important place.

In 1950, when the suppression of bandits in Taihu Lake was completed, Zhenze County was abolished and all its jurisdiction was assigned to Jiangsu Province.

2. It is the exchange of jurisdiction.

During the Republic of China, fishermen from Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province frequently went fishing near the Shengsi Islands in the north.

At that time, the Shengsi Islands were still affiliated with Chongming County, Jiangsu Province. Jiangsu taxation departments often clashed with Zhejiang fishermen and fishery departments. After 1949, in order to prevent another dispute between Jiangsu and Zhejiang over the fate of the Shengsi Islands, the Shengsi Islands were assigned to Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province based on the principle of "who develops and who protects".

At the same time, in order to make up for the loss of Jiangsu’s jurisdiction and to unify the development of Taihu Lake’s water resources, all of Taihu Lake was placed under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu in 1960, leaving only 50 meters of water along the coast for Huzhou. management rights.
