Introduction of Simenqian Town

Simenqian Town is located in the northwest of Longhui County. It is the seat of the old Longhui county government and the political, economic and cultural center of Longhui in history. Formerly known as Longhui Division, Qiansi was really Longhui. It is 63 kilometers away from the county seat, with a total area of 166.8 square kilometers and a population of 56,000. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was the first of the eight capitals in Longhui. Before liberation, Longhui Township Office was established. After the founding of New China, it was the third district of Longhui County, and later changed to Simenqian District. 1995, the area was merged into the existing Simenqian Town (under the jurisdiction of the former Simenqian Town, Jintan Township and Shiqiaopu Township), which happened to be the main area of Longhui Yidu Center in the past. The town government is located in the former site in front of the company, 63 kilometers south of the county seat. According to the records of Jiaqing Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty, the inspection department of Longhui was established in the fifth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (AD 1372) (equivalent to the current county administration), and the resident of this town (formerly Ruimu Diju) was in front of Longhui Division, so the town was named Simen.
