The development of history

Taixing County was established in the first year of the Southern Tang Dynasty (937), which means "the country is rich and the people are strong, and all industries are prosperous". When the county was founded, it was located in Jichuan Town. Later, due to the river collapse, in the second year of Gande in North Song Taizu (964), the county government moved from Jichuan Town to Chai Hui, west of the port, and the surrounding area became a city. In the early years of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, the county ruled Lingling Village (now Taixing Town). Yes, this is also the rule of this city. In the 4th year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty (1 122), Hui Zong was changed to Yangzhou. At the beginning of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, it belonged to Taizhou. Five years later, it still belongs to Yangzhou; Ten years belongs to Taizhou; 12 years, changed to Yangzhou. Taixing, Sheng Yuan is a superior county, which belongs to Yangzhou Road Administration. Ming belongs to Yangzhou prefecture. In the second year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (1724), it was changed to Tongzhou.

physical geography

Taixing City is located in the middle of Jiangsu Province, bordering Rugao in the east, the Yangtze River in the west, Jingjiang in the south, Jiangyan in the north, Hai 'an in the northeast and Map State in Taixing City in the northwest. Total area 1253 km2. The terrain is high in the northeast and low in the southwest, slightly inclined, and it is an alluvial plain in the Yangtze River Delta. According to the landform features, the whole city can be divided into high sandy soil area, polder area along Jinghe River and paddy field area along the river. Taixing has a mild climate with four distinct seasons. The annual average temperature is 14.9℃, and 1 month is the coldest, with an average temperature of 2.0℃. It is the hottest in July, with an average temperature of 27.6℃. Annual average precipitation 1027 mm, sunshine 2125h, and frost-free period of 220 days. The main minerals in Taixing are: natural carbon dioxide gas, helium gas, geothermal shallow natural gas, abundant groundwater and mineral water, high-quality quartz sand and brick clay. Although there are few varieties of mineral resources, they are rich in reserves and high in grade. Xiqiao CO2 gas field is the largest CO2 gas field in China. In the process of oil and gas exploration, East China Petroleum Bureau found Xiqiao carbon dioxide gas field 1983, with a buried depth of1800-2650m, recoverable reserves of about 60 billion cubic meters, geological reserves of1000 billion cubic meters, high gas field pressure, 8.6Mpa at the wellhead of production wells, and self-injection mining from bottom to top. Xiqiao carbon dioxide gas field is a large and medium-sized gas field with deep burial depth, low abundance and high productivity. According to the current development capacity, the expected service life is at least 200 years, which can fully meet the growing market demand. In addition to the largest carbon dioxide gas field in China, according to the preliminary investigation and geological and mineral data in Jiangsu, Xiqiao is also the most famous shallow inorganic gas field in Jiangsu. The gas layer of this gas field is buried at a depth of 373 meters, and the gas field is characterized by high nitrogen content, with nitrogen content above 58%. In the analysis of many gas samples, it is found that the helium content is relatively high, generally 0.58. The trap area of this gas field is 0.72 square kilometers, of which the gas-bearing area is 0.52 square kilometers, and the proven geological reserves are10.36 million cubic meters. Among them, the geological reserves of helium exceed 654.38+million cubic meters, and the geological reserves of methane are 2.48 million cubic meters.

Local customs and practices

Rural custom: after the marriage between men and women is confirmed, no matter how many years before marriage, the earlier rule is that the woman can't go to the man's house. If you go, you will be laughed at and scolded by the villagers. Say, open a girl, "horse fork" very much, squatting instability; He said, I'm not human, I'm afraid I'm a coquettish fox. It's really hard to say anything. The demand for girls is very high, but not for boys. It is only natural that a boy from the man's family should go to the woman's house. According to the local saying, when he has nothing to do, the young man calls home. Every holiday is called "visiting relatives", at least three times a year: Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year. These three times, I didn't return empty-handed. I want to bring my usual gifts, including water (long life), Beijing fruit (indeed), meat (both blessing and blessing) and fish (how auspicious and festive). Don't underestimate these samples. Whether the villagers can eat three meals a day is a problem. It is not too much to prepare these samples. However, this hairy son-in-law comes to the door, and every time she gives a gift, it often causes different reactions from the woman, especially when she meets her mother-in-law, who loves to take advantage of petty advantages, and her emotions are completely written on her face. A generous gift is a smile. "The more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more interesting it is." That son-in-law will naturally be treated well. If the gift is a little thinner, my face will sink and there will be thorns in my words. The son-in-law will only leave a sentence "Mao son-in-law comes to the door, three pots of porridge." The contrast is so great that every time the young man "visits relatives", he has to repeatedly compete with his parents for more gifts to avoid being ugly and uncomfortable after coming to the door. No wonder there is a local saying that "it is better to die than to die." Usually, the husband's family only cares about the gift of "visiting relatives" at 4: 08, but when it comes to "New Year's greetings", it is quite elegant to give "New Year's greetings". "Talking" is actually the man's family asking the woman's family to "bring people"! To put it bluntly, the man wants to get married and asks the woman if she agrees. This is a phone call. In the local area, there are only two kinds of phone calls: one is that the man gives a gift first, and the other is that he gives a gift first and then the matchmaker speaks orally. From this perspective, this "teacher-learning ceremony" is indispensable. Send a phone gift, mostly the Mid-Autumn Festival that year. In addition to the gifts to be prepared in the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, a pair of geese and a pair of lotus roots are also given to get married in the New Year-both are exquisite. Goose, one shows that the son-in-law is loyal and honest, and the other is called "honk, honk, honk, oh", which means "marry me". The girl naturally understands its meaning. It is often said that villages are adjacent to each other and have different customs. That's true. They all belong to the lower reaches of rivers in central Jiangsu. In some places, geese are not sent, but a pair of ducks are sent. The meaning is clear. Ducks are pawned, and they can't run away with their sons. It is said that ducks are sent to Gaoyou and Xinghua. Is it too far to pledge to your son before marriage? It seems that the local people attach great importance to the matter of carrying on the family line Another indispensable object in the address ceremony: the lotus root. First, I hope that the girl will "get out of the mud and not be stained". Second, the woman will not block this marriage, and she will be as logical as the lotus root. Whenever the woman's family sees the goose lotus root at the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony of Mao's son-in-law, they know in their hearts that this girl will soon become a husband's family. If you agree to the girl's marriage, the woman can accept a goose (or a duck) and a lotus root, if you don't agree, return them all. Don't give up easily when you refuse to accept a gift. The woman's refusal to accept gifts is sometimes just a tactic. Everyone knows that when a man gets married and a woman gets married, there is no way to stop it. It's not that women's universities don't stay, but they become enemies if they stay! At this juncture, we need to hear what the woman's parents left behind. Some said, "The girl is still young." Some said, "How much food does a girl earn for her family a year?" This kind of thing is just an excuse to ask for more money and gifts, deliberately raising the price of girls. As long as you ask the matchmaker to come forward and give the woman's family a face, it is probably not a problem to hold a wedding ceremony in the New Year, although you can safely choose a wedding date and "send the day". Taixing Dialect All dialects in Taixing belong to Jianghuai Mandarin, which is the northern Mandarin of Chinese. They are located in the southernmost part of the vast Mandarin dialect area (Jingjiang city, which is separated from Taixing by a river, belongs to Wu dialect area), at the intersection of Jianghuai dialect and Wu dialect. They have internal features such as pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar, as well as external features such as culture and language application. Historically, Taixing dialect was mostly connected with northern dialects, based on Wu dialect. It has north and south, and the old and the new are intertwined. Although there are many changes brought about by interpersonal communication, marriage and migration, the overall impact is not great. Taixing dialect has strong internal consistency, with slight regional differences. The pronunciation of Taixing dialect is divided into flat volumes. Sheng Da, Taixing, Jianghua and other towns say Z, while other towns generally say zh, C and ch are different, while some places in the north of Taixing are close to Taizhou, with different accents. Qiwei Town in Taixing faces Changzhou across the river and is close to Jingjiang because of the river. The dialect is quite different from other towns and villages.
