At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty (988 AD), Linping Town was set as one of the "Renhe Four Towns". In the early years of Tianxi (10 17), the official wine warehouse was set up in Linping, which was a "temporary exchange of people and goods". (Records of Renhe County in Jiajing (Volume 1) During the Shaoxing period in the Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial court set up a bank in Zhanjun to enjoy the wine cellar in Linping Town. "There are ten times more merchants than before, and the exchange is not as good as other counties."
During the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Linping Lake gradually silted up, "Juzhou was full of brine and turned into Sang Ma area", which became a famous distribution center for silk, cotton, hemp, rapeseed and other commodities in the province. "Haining, Renhe and Shangtang silk have the largest trading volume in Linping."
In the Ming dynasty, Linping set up a tax bureau and a river berth to collect business tax. In the tenth year of Yongle, there were 2-990 class tickets from Hengtang Linping Tax Bureau (5 142 spindles) and 3-380 tax tickets from Linping River Park (48 12 spindles) (Wanli Hangzhou government records), which shows that business was booming at that time. However, after the diversion of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to Xiatang, Linping Town, as an important town in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, was replaced by the rapidly prosperous Tangqi Town.
In the Qing Dynasty, the silk reeling industry in Linping was at its peak, and almost every family had silk carts. Silk reeling is thin and white, and the second one becomes cotton. By the time of Yongzheng (1723-1735), there were no fewer than two or three hundred optical machines in Linping (Beixin Guanzhi). There is a realistic view in the poem Linping Zayong by the poet Zhai Hao during the Qianlong period: "Two oars welcome guests and sell more." (No Surplus Grain Volume 1) After the 13th year of Daoguang (1833), the capitalist economy sprouted, and Huizhou, Hangzhou, Dajia and other places actually traded silk, set up workshops and held legal meetings. Fang Yonglong South Goods Store, Guangxingdang, Li Hengfang, Sheng Yuan Youfang and other stores with relatively strong strength and more employees have opened one after another. In addition to farmers in four towns and villages, people who come to Pingping to sell toast are as far away as Haining West, Tongxiang, Deqing and other counties, where they are sold to Shanghai, Fujian, Jiangxi and Hangzhou.
"After the Sino-Japanese War in Guangxu, the establishment of factories, the establishment of chambers of commerce and the improvement of silk made the rural atmosphere rise." (Hangzhou County Manuscript (Volume 13) In the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu (1908), Hangzhou-Chang 'an section of Suzhou-Hangzhou Railway was built and a station was set up in Linping. After the Republic of China, Hangtang Highway passed through Linping Town and became the hub of land transportation. The number of shops in the south of the city has increased greatly, and the exchanges between merchants are quite lively. Modern industry began in the early years of the Republic of China. 1924, Jixing Power Plant opened and its business was booming. There are more than 200 large and small companies in this town.
When War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, Linping was bombed by Japanese planes and suffered heavy losses. During the occupation, the Japanese army destroyed the stone ridge on the south bank of Shangtang River in Linping, demolished the stone steps of Yongkang Bridge and built its military camp. The market is deserted, the lanes are desolate, the economy is depressed, and the situation is getting worse. Only the rice market is prosperous. Its source of supply, water is Anhui rice shipped from Guangde and Si 'an; Jiangxi rice is transported by rail, with a daily flow of more than a thousand stones (per stone 150 kg). Most of its sales are shipped to Hangzhou, and some are supplied locally. The number of rice shops increased from 3 to 12.
As early as before the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the forces of Japanese businessmen plundering my economic resources had penetrated into Linping, and a considerable part of Linping Township was commissioned by Shanghai Japanese merchants Renhe and foreign firms before the war. They are transported to Shanghai through the Grand Canal and then to Japan. After the fall of Linping, Japanese businessmen introduced high-yield twined hemp varieties and planted them widely, and the output increased year by year. As a grain and hemp merchant, the traitor district chief Chen Nongsun (who is also the president of Linping Maintenance Association) is in charge of this matter as an agent, and set up Yoshida Foreign Firm in Hangzhou, Rihua Hemp Industry Company in Linping, unified low-cost acquisition, and also set up Ritong Company to be responsible for land transportation, and Li Ji Company to be responsible for water transportation, and smuggling is not allowed, otherwise hell to pay. As a result, the weaving of linen stopped, and linen wiring closed down one after another. According to statistics, during the occupation, Linping lost 25,000 tons of silk, 25,000 tons of ginger and 4 tons of flax, excluding flax and sugarcane. (Hangzhou County Chronicle (Volume 1 1).
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, in order to clean up the business, industrial and commercial registration was carried out in 35 years of the Republic of China (1946), and there were 24 industries and 360 merchants in Linping Town. Among them, silk cloth industry 13, north-south goods industry 26, wide goods industry 10. There are 22 wine sauce industries, 9 Chinese medicine industries, 3 vegetable and rice industries 13 tea shops, 3 photography industries, 5 hotels, 22 pork industries, 6 cigarettes 17, 6 washing and dyeing industries, 26 pastry industries, 2 mutton industries 12, and roasted seeds and nuts industries/kloc. (Draft of Hangzhou County Records)
Starting from August 1955, Hangzhou County took Linping as a pilot, and first carried out socialist transformation in three industries: department stores, new drugs, stationery and paper making. 1956 reached its climax. On February 2 1 day, 386 furniture manufacturers from 453 companies in 44 industries in the town requested decoration. The next day, a meeting of 1000 people was held, and it was publicly announced that 28 enterprises were directly transformed, 5 1 enterprises were public-private partnerships, 137 enterprises were purchasing, 154 cooperative stores, 2 1 cooperative groups, and 62 enterprises were closed down, thus completing the socialist transformation of private enterprises in Linping Town.
Linping has been far away from the "hometown foot" since ancient times, stretching for more than 20 miles to Fiona Fang in the east, to Wengjiabu and Qiaosi in the south, to Xiaolin and Xingqiao in the west, to Wuhang and Bolu in the north. When buying major commodities and selling bulk agricultural and sideline products, farmers gather in Linping. Linping's business center is east to Guifang Bridge, west to Ximao Bridge and north to Gengshen Bridge. At the end of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom War had a considerable impact on Linping's commerce. Neighborhood shrinks to the north of Shangtang River, to Yan Guang Temple in the west, to Meitan Weir in the east, to the north of Miaolong, to the south of Shuiche River, and the periphery is desolate. In the second year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1876), after the reconstruction of Yongkang Bridge, shops and houses extended slightly to the west. In the early years of the Republic of China, Hangtang Highway was completed, followed by Zhongshan Bridge and Xiyang Bridge. There are power plants, Catholic churches, Jesus churches and other buildings in the south of Shangtang River, and the appearance of the town has changed slightly. During the Republic of China, most commercial shops in Linping were concentrated in the north of Shangtang River, with steep entrances as the center, including Guifang Bridge in East Street and Zhongshan Bridge in West Street, formerly known as "Shang Jie". There are many shops in North Street from the steep entrance to Gengshen Bridge and Beimiao Bridge.
Linping has been rich in products since ancient times. Ren He and Wu Zan's "Wulin Chronicle" say: "People in Hangzhou Dongyuan grow vegetables and sell them at four o'clock, all of which are as far away as Linping Chang 'an." (Miscellanies of Dongcheng) Linping's time-honored commercial brand was very popular in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. A number of century-old shops and well-known time-honored brands such as Juleyuan, Zhai Hengtai and Centennial Huichang have already become an important part of Linping culture.

The founder Zhou Yongshun is from Huli Village, Linxi Township, Jixi County, Anhui Province. Since he lost his job in Linping, he opened this shop with the support of his fellow countryman Huibang. In the sixth year of the Republic of China (19 17), the original store was burnt down, so it was moved to Doumen to reopen. In order to avoid using the sound of "burning", it was later renamed as "Gathering Paradise", with the storefront facing south and the second floor of the main house.
Juleyuan Restaurant operates authentic Huizhou cuisine, which is characterized by bright red color and heavy oil. There are hundreds of dishes served every day, among which the famous ones are: paddling in red sauce, pasting shredded eel and tofu with three shrimps. Grass carp, the most famous raw material for paddling braised pork, has been stocked in a bamboo cage in Shangtang River a few days in advance and rippled with the water to alleviate the fishy smell and earthy smell. Grass carp is now killed and burned, with tender meat, golden red color, tough taste and overflowing aroma, which greatly increases appetite. Its noodles include shrimp noodles, fried eel with shrimp, three fresh noodles, pipa string and more than 50 varieties.
During the Republic of China, whenever plum blossoms were enjoyed in the mountains in early spring, tourists from Shanghai and Hangzhou often ate and drank here. Mr. Yu Dafu, a famous writer, once visited this store, and he recorded it in the famous article "Climbing the Mountain in Linping".
