Longchuan has a long history. According to archaeological research, human beings lived in the late Neolithic age at the latest. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period belong to the land of Baiyue. In 2 14 BC, after Qin Shihuang sent Zhao Tuo, Ren Tao and other generals to pacify South Vietnam, he began to set up a county here, which belonged to Nanhai County. It has been more than 2,200 years since it was founded, and it is one of the four ancient counties in Guangdong. Zhao Tuo, the founder of Nanyue State, was the first county magistrate of Longchuan. During the Republic of China, in order to commemorate its achievements, Guxian was renamed Tuozhen, and now it is a provincial-level historical and cultural city in Guangdong Province.
Zhao Tuo: Appointed by Qin Shihuang, Ren Xiao led 500,000 troops to pacify Lingnan. In 2 14 BC, after Lingnan was pacified, Zhao Tuo was appointed as the first Longchuan county magistrate because of its extremely important geographical position and military value. Until 208 BC, Zhao Tuo was transferred to Nanhai County Commandant and served as Longchuan County Commander for six years. During his tenure as Longchuan county magistrate and Nanhai county commandant, and after establishing South Vietnam as the self-styled "King of South Vietnam", he has been implementing the policy of "harmony and compilation of hundreds of Vietnamese", which has promoted the integration of Chinese and Vietnamese nationalities, brought the advanced culture of the Central Plains to the land of South Vietnam, and made South Vietnam develop well.
Su Zhe: A great writer in the Song Dynasty, he was demoted as an official during the Song Zhezong period and lived in Baiyun Bridge in Longchuan County for 17 months. At that time, there were frequent droughts and floods in the lake, and Su Zhe advocated that villagers build dams to stop water from irrigating the fields. Later generations named this dike "Su Causeway" in memory of him. The relationship between Su Zhe and Longchuan villagers is very harmonious, which can be reflected in his poems. He wrote in "Leap September 9th, Four Never Drinks with Old Friends": "When you are convicted, you hate Manchu, and old friends in Longchuan are still looking for them. I have to go to the countryside to see it, and I feel that Wan Li's heart is in the end of the world. " In the poem, Su Zhe realized that Longchuan was his hometown and no longer felt that he was a lonely guest living in the end of the world. When Su Zhe was in Longchuan, he also wrote two anthologies, A Brief History of Longchuan and Biezhi of Longchuan. Among them, A Brief History of Longchuan records the words and deeds of famous ministers such as Ouyang Xiu, Zhang, Han Qi, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi when they were officials in the imperial court, and Biezhi of Longchuan records the anecdotes of some famous people in the previous dynasty and the same dynasty.
