The Historical Evolution of Yaoping Town

According to legend, the name of Yao Pingyuan is not Yao Ping, but "thorn wind", which is the "thorn wind" in the Book of Songs. The whole terrain is high and wide from north to south, narrow in the middle and low from east to west, which is like a pipa leaf, inclining from southwest to north, and the mountain becomes lower from north to south. The back of the mountain is open, the top of the mountain is round and the south is gentle. During this period, there were rhombic valley basins. At that time, there were four famous plateaus from top to bottom, namely Heping, Gongping, Ping Huang and Anping. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the emperor visited this place incognito, and found that the valley basin was rich in products, rich in aquatic plants, living and working in peace and contentment, simple in folk customs, and had the aura of Yu Shun, so he could not bear to look. Shunzhi's biological mother said that the better Yao's characters are. Therefore, later generations called this place Yao Ping.

In 1970s, the people of Yao Ping made great contributions and sacrifices to the construction of Huanglongtan Power Station. Nowadays, Yaoping Township has seized the opportunity to support the reservoir in the later period of immigration. Because it is suitable for developing new industries and speeding up the new pace of infrastructure construction, the reservoir area has taken on a new look: vigorously develop rich industries such as red dates, walnuts, citrus, tea, papaya and goats, increase the intensity of closing hillsides to facilitate afforestation, returning farmland to forests and planting trees, and build a large number of biogas, which basically solves the problem of farmers burning firewood, and the construction of the reservoir area has been significantly improved; Accelerate the implementation of the "six-to-five-way" project of changing roads, water, toilets, pens, garbage, sidewalks, electricity, water, biogas and information; We will promote the construction of cement roads in Huakouguan Sewer, Jinniu and Xipo villages 10, and successively complete subgrade treatment 106.3 km, and build docks in Yao Ping, Huangping, Lvhe and Xinkou 10, and invest more than 3 million yuan in safe drinking water projects in Yao Ping, Huangping and Xinkou, which are distributed in various villages. Yaoping Township, a once poor and backward reservoir town, is rapidly moving towards a new rich and convenient countryside. Every village has cement roads, everyone has running water, every household has biogas digesters, orchards on the mountains and gardens on the roadside, and the aquatic products are reasonable.
