As early as the Neolithic Age, our ancestors thrived here. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, Chengying Town (now the ancient hometown of Ding Cun) and Daling Town (now Juling Village, Juling Township) appeared. The early years of the Western Han Dynasty (20 1 BC) began in Chengying County, which was named Linying County because of its waterfront and belonged to Yuzhou Department. Since then, county boundaries and ownership have changed with the times. In the fourth year of the Great Cause of Sui Dynasty (608), Shui Ying flooded and Linying County was flooded, so the city site moved 7.5 kilometers south from the ancient hometown, and a new city (now the county seat) was built at the highest point of Longpigang (now Huangtugang). The Song Dynasty belonged to Yingchang Prefecture, and the metal Xuzhou was a long military army, and the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties belonged to Xuzhou. In 2 1 (1932), the administrative supervision department was established, which was subordinate to the administrative supervision department of the fifth district of Henan Province. After the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), it belongs to Xuchang Administrative Office. During the long period of feudal rule, due to the exploitation of landlords, the oppression of the government, the invasion of natural disasters, the harassment of bandits and government forces, the broad masses of people were in dire straits for a long time. In order to change this tragic situation and live a noble life, the struggle of the working people in the county has never stopped.
According to records, as early as the eighth year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 32), the peasant rebels in this county once occupied the county seat. In July of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty, peasant leaders Wu Laiqing and Wu responded to the call of King Zhuang and led the rebels to attack the county seat. At the end of the year, Li Zicheng sent officials to preside over Linying government affairs. 1February 28th, Zuo Liangyu, the company commander of the Ming government army, suddenly went to Enemy at the Gates, and the city immediately opened fire to meet them, killing two left soldiers Bijiang. After Zuo Bing broke the city, Zong Bing slaughtered the city, and all the soldiers and civilians in the city rose up and were killed. Since modern times, resistance struggles have broken out one after another. From June of the third year of Xianfeng (1853) to the sixth year of Tongzhi (1867) 14, Nian Army and Taiping Army moved in Linying area and occupied the county town many times with the assistance of the broad masses of people in Linying. In the second year of Tongzhi (1863), on August 12th, with the cooperation of Linying people, the Nian army captured four important castles, such as Wadian, Nanjiang, Yangpeicheng and Shifochen, which dealt a heavy blow to the rulers. Driven by the upsurge of peasant rebels' anti-imperialist patriotic resistance to feudal exploitation, the consciousness of the broad masses of the people in the county is increasing day by day. In the 30th year of Guangxu (1904), Jiang Shifang, a magistrate of a county, colluded with the evil gentry Zhao Xuan, reformed the articles of association of chariots and horses, and imposed exorbitant taxes, which was resisted by farmers in the county. Farmers in the Emperor's Temple and Wadian were the first to make a fuss. On February 14, they went to town with farm tools to protest and demanded the reduction of miscellaneous taxes. This just demand was not only rejected, but also ordered by Chiang Kai-shek, which aroused the anger of farmers. They destroyed the county government and beat up Zhao Xuan. The Qing government was outraged, announced the cancellation of new taxes and the dismissal of Jiang Shifang, and the peasant struggle won.
After the Revolution of 1911, the broad masses of the people actively participated in the struggle against imperialism and feudalism. 1924, Ye came to Linying to spread Marxism-Leninism, and new changes occurred in the county political situation. 1927 Linying County Committee was established. Since then, under the leadership of China, the people of the county have been more strongly opposed to imperialism, feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism, and have successively established two district committees in the southeast and southwest and 17 party branches. Under the leadership of the county party Committee, 13 farmers' associations were established, and the number of members increased to 5500. Well, the members of the backbone farmers' association formed a 1 100 death squad. Under the leadership of the Party, the peasant associations have made great achievements in resisting taxes and paying taxes and cracking down on reactionary forces. At that time, the Henan Provincial Party Committee reported to the Central Committee that Linying County was "the best working place in central Henan" and "Little Guangzhou in Henan".
After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, with the support of * * * *, the "Anti-Enemy Support Association" was established, and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Propaganda Brigade was formed to carry out anti-Japanese propaganda in the county town and Wuyang urban and rural areas, which played a very good role in propaganda and agitation.
1linying fell in may 944,1the Japanese invaders surrendered in August 945. In just over a year, the broad masses of people in the county refused to be conquered people, and rose up in succession to resist the oppression and slavery of the Japanese aggressors, making the Japanese puppet troops often retreat to the strongholds in towns and dare not go to the countryside easily.
Linying has an important strategic position and has always been a battleground for military strategists. According to records, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wars often occurred here, especially during the Republic of China. Frequent wars have brought endless disasters to the people, and with the invasion of natural disasters, the lives of the broad masses of people are miserable. According to records, in the twenty-four years of the Republic of China (1935), the total grain output of the county was only over 20 million Jin, with an average yield of more than 25 Jin per mu. Apart from exorbitant taxes, there is not much left. 1943, 42,500 people starved to death, 54,000 people fled and begged, 2 120 families (about 10000 people) left home, 3,500 people abandoned their wives and children, and15,200 people sold their children. On the eve of liberation, in order to support the civil war, the Kuomintang government arrested Ding, collected taxes and distributed funds, which made the broad masses of people complain, have no food and clothing, and were on the verge of despair. 1947 12 13, the 27th Chen Geng Corps liberated Linying and established a democratic regime, which opened a new era in Linying's history.
After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), under the leadership of China, through the land reform, Linying people completely destroyed the monopoly and possession of land by the landlord class, realized land to the tiller, ended the feudal landlord exploitation for thousands of years, and 25 1, 4 1.6 people got land and other means of production and living. Farmers' enthusiasm for production is unprecedented, and agricultural production has undergone earth-shaking changes. By 1952, the total agricultural output value reached 23.28 million yuan, 23% higher than that of 19 1800 yuan in 1949; The total grain output reached 93.2 million kilograms, an increase of 23.4% over the 75.54 million kilograms in 1949. After 1952, the establishment and development of mutual aid groups and cooperatives have brought agricultural production into a new historical stage. 1958 people's commune was established, and all the means of production were transformed into collective ownership. However, under the control of the "left" ideology, the "communist wind" and "grandiose wind" have been blown up because of being too hasty and divorced from objective reality In terms of production management and economic income distribution, the implementation of "one big duke" and "one leveling and two adjustments", coupled with years of natural disasters, agricultural production has been seriously damaged. By 196 1, the total grain output is only 60 185000 kg, which is 330 15000 kg lower than 1952. 1963 total industrial output value was only 947,000 yuan, 5 1500 yuan lower than 1949. Education has also suffered great losses. There are only 45 schools, 16 is less than 16 of 1949, and there are 25,745 students, which is 35,070 fewer than 608 15 of 1957. The quality of teaching is also due to the fact that In view of this harsh reality, the CPC Central Committee has taken a series of remedial measures since 1960, such as dissolving rural public canteens, restoring family stoves, lending farmers a small amount of land for self-cultivation, expanding private plots, encouraging land reclamation, opening farmers' markets, and invigorating urban and rural economies. In industry, we will implement the eight-character policy of "adjustment, consolidation, enrichment and improvement", shorten the industrial front and return the labor force to the fields. Industrial and agricultural production has been restored and developed. By 1965, the county's total grain output reached 99.935 million kilograms, the best level in history, an increase of 24.395 million kilograms or 32.39% compared with 1949.
From 1966 to 1976, due to the destruction of the counter-revolutionary groups of Lin Biao and the Gang of Four, the so-called "class struggle as the key link", "grain as the key link" and "steel as the key link" were adopted in industrial and agricultural production, which restricted diversified operations. In production, the "Dazhai model" and "eating the same pot" were vigorously promoted, and the principle of absolute equality was pursued, which seriously dampened the enthusiasm of farmers and workers for production. Although the masses resisted its bad style to varying degrees in production, industrial and agricultural production has been stagnant for a long time.
1976 the party central Committee smashed the gang of four in one fell swoop, ending ten years of turmoil. 1978 The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party established a strategic decision to shift the focus of work to socialist construction. By 1985, the county's total industrial and agricultural output value reached 345.7 million yuan, which was 6.7 times higher than 1949' s 20.64 million yuan.
