History[edit]
Qingjiangpu District lies on the Jianghuai Plain created from silt deposited by the Huai River. The area was originally held by people considered to be Dongyi ("Eastern Barbarians") by the early Chinese. In 486 BC, during the Zhou's Spring and Autumn Period, the hegemon Fuchai of Wu constructed the Hangou Canal (t 邗溝, s 邗沟, Hángōu) between Hancheng (邗城, Hánchéng) on the Yangtze River in present-day Yangzhou and Mokou (
At the time of the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Qingjiang was the most urbanized part of present-day Huai'an. It was separated from Huaiyin County and elevated to the status of a county-level city in January 1951. It was merged back into Huaiyin County in August 1958 and then separated again in October 1964. As part of the elevation of Huaiyin Prefecture to a prefecture-level city in March 1983, Qingjiang City was divided into the separate districts of Qinghe and Qingpu with their border set at the Li Canal. On 8 June 2016, the State Council approved the merger of these two districts as Qingjiangpu and this was enacted on October 8 the same year.[1]
