Lianghe has a long history, as early as two thousand years ago is China's "Southern Land Silk Road" must pass through. However, due to social history and geography, the social history of Lianghe's various ethnic groups has progressed very slowly. Until the founding of new China, the dam area Dai is still in the transitional stage from the feudal lord economy to the landlord economy, the mountainous areas of minority economies are still subordinate to the lord economy, Jingpo still maintains more primitive communal characteristics, only the Han areas are basically the landlord economy and a little bit of a small-scale industry and commerce, and thus productivity is very low, the economy and culture is extremely backward. Coupled with the exploitation and monopolization of the landlord, landlords, grain merchants and banditry, so that the Lianghe people struggling in the abyss of suffering, poverty and misery.
Lianghe, the ancient name of Nansong, also known as Nandian, Dai Mengdi. In the Western Han Dynasty, it belonged to the Yizhou County Buwei County, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it belonged to the Yongchang County Mianling County. From the Yuan set Nandian military and civilian general administration, began to become an independent political district. Ming Dynasty set up Nandian Xuanfu Department. The Qing Dynasty inherited the Ming Dynasty system. During the Republic of China period, it was governed by both the land and the stream, and it set up Baxi County and Lianghe Settlement Bureau successively. From the Yuan Dynasty to Yuan twenty-six years (1289) set up military and civilian general administration to 1950, the history of Nandian Tuji up to 661 years.
In May 1950, Lianghe was liberated. This marks the various ethnic groups into equality, unity, *** with the prosperity of the new era. From then on, the people of all ethnic groups in the county under the leadership of the Chinese ****-producing party, under the light of the party's national policy, adhere to the socialist road, carry forward the spirit of self-reliance and hard work, so that Lianghe has undergone radical changes. 1950 to 1956, after the banning of cigarettes, land reform and socialism, "three major reforms From 1950 to 1956, after the banning of tobacco, land reform and socialist "three major reforms", the productive forces were greatly liberated, and the economy of Lianghe made epoch-making progress and development. 1956, the total industrial and agricultural output value of the county increased from 7.05 million yuan in 1952 to 11.07 million yuan, with a growth rate of 57%, and the total grain output reached 4.59 million jin, with a growth rate of 62% compared with that of 1949, and self-sufficiency of grain was realized for the first time in the history.
