Anliu, formerly known as Hengliu Ferry, is located at the intersection of Mianyang River, Yangtou River and Zhoujiang River in the upper reaches of Qinjiang River, 33 kilometers away from Shuizhai. According to legend, in ancient times, because the river naturally changed course and the river crossed, it was named "Crossflow Ferry" (also called Gudu). Since the Ming Dynasty, Crossflow Ferry has been the ferry for villagers to come and go. In the early years of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, local villagers set up a simple bamboo shed shop on this ancient crossing bank with bamboo and wood, which initially became a small market for nearby villagers, gathering goods all by themselves and easily losing everything. Later, shops gradually increased and became a small market where villagers concentrated. By the end of Qing Dynasty, villagers began to adopt Shi Zhuan and civil buildings, and built water street, rice street, central street, upper street and lower street. At that time, there was only a small wooden bridge at the ferry. Due to the inconvenient transportation, the villagers can only produce and sell themselves, and their business is bleak.
After the Revolution of 1911, due to imperialist invasion, warlords in various departments scuffled, the countryside went bankrupt and the people were poor. At that time, the literati thought that "cross-flow" was an ominous "flood cross-flow" and changed it into an auspicious "safe flow", which could turn evil into good, and the safe flow came from it. At that time, Anliu Market was one of the three towns (Huacheng, Shuizhai and Anliu) in Changle County, and it was also the people's market and trade center in the south of the county. The construction of market towns has also developed with the prosperity of the market, and the streets have gradually expanded. In the 22nd year of the Republic of China (1933), Hechun Street, Qingjiang Street and Siqian Street were newly built. During the Republic of China, there were more than 300 shops in Anliu market, and at the same time, a thermal power plant was built for store lighting. There is also an Anliu wooden bridge donated by Miao Peinan and other squires, and the land and water transportation is also very convenient. The waterway is Qinjiang Shipping, which goes up to Zi Long Nest and down to Xingmei and Chaoshan. There is a highway from Anliu to Hepo by land, which runs through Chaoshan and Xingmei, so Anliu has become the trade market of Zijin, Heyuan, Longchuan, Xingning, Meizhou, Jiexi, Lufeng and Haifeng counties.
In the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938), Shantou was occupied by the Japanese army, and the aquatic products and salt from Hailufeng were carried by the shoulders and transported to the county seat and inland areas for sale via Anlu. Therefore, Anlu was also very prosperous at that time, and various aspects of construction were also rising.
Anliu villagers have always attached importance to education. In the 20th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1894), gentry Gu, Li Xinglou, Zhang, Gu Yunshi and Chen Xingpo initiated the establishment of Sanjiang Academy. In the thirty-first year of Guangxu (1905), the Qing court abolished the imperial examination and set up another school, and the academy was changed into Sanjiang higher primary school. 18 (1929) was changed to Wuhua County No.3 Middle School, which was the predecessor of Jin Middle School. In the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936), Fuquan Primary School (now Anliu Central Primary School) was opened in June165438+1October. At present, Anliu Town has 1 complete middle schools, 6 junior high schools and 56 primary schools, the number of which is rare in the whole province and even the whole country. Anliu Town was approved as a central town by the province in 2003. Various supporting institutions are relatively sound: banks, credit cooperatives, supply and marketing cooperatives, telecommunications, postal services, mobile phones, national tax, local tax, industry and commerce, food, animal husbandry, hospitals, power supply, culture, radio and television, etc.
