The Historical Evolution of Aoxi Town

Aoxi Town has a long history. It was in 873 AD (the 14th year of Xian Tong, Tang Yizong). At that time, due to the war, the court sent Mao Ba from Fengyang House of Chu River in Nanjing to help Yang Duan recover Bozhou, which was captured by the rebels. Because of Mao Ba's outstanding contribution, Xuan Di named him General Huiji and Tusi Prefecture of Qing Yu as Qing Yu Division. Bounded by Wujiang River, including Dawujiang, Guanxing, Aoxi, Longjia, Yan Song, Chaole, Xinglong and other places are all under the jurisdiction of Qing Yu, and its state capital is built on the high-rise foundation of the platform group in Aoxi Town today. After AD 1600, Yu Qingshi and Bai Ni Shi on the south bank of Wujiang River were collectively called yuqing county, and Qing Yu Shi was renamed Aoxi because of Aoyushan.
