Analysis:

The original Taizhou is now Hailing District. The name and meaning of Taizhou can be seen in the following introduction.

Taizhou, a famous historical and cultural city in Jiangsu Province, has a little-known tax notice board, which was set up in Taizhou by Lin Zexu, a national hero in the Qing Dynasty, when he was the governor of Jiangsu Province. According to Taizhou Local Records, there is also a bridge named after the word "tax" in ancient China, which is called "tax bridge" and a street named after the word "tax". Not only that, today we can also see that there are neighborhood committees named after "tax" and shops named after "tax", such as tax biscuit shops, tax bag shops, tax supermarkets, tax snacks, etc. Taizhou, Jiangsu, a unique tax culture, is like a wonderful flower in China's splendid history and culture for 5,000 years, shining brilliantly.

Taizhou, known as Hailing in ancient times, is located in the abdomen of Jiangsu, and is the gateway to Lixiahe area in northern Jiangsu. It has been inextricably linked with the word "tax" since ancient times, and the origin of Taizhou place names is related to tax.

According to historical records, China's taxation first began in the Xia and Zhou Dynasties, when merchants were levied with "Guan Shi Fu" and fishermen and hunters were levied with "Shan Ze Fu".

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu took the lead in levying taxes on land by mu, which is the famous "initial tax mu" in our country's history. Since then, land tax has become the main form of taxation in ancient China.

In 425 AD, China began to collect salt tax, which was very rich in Taizhou in history. In BC 195, the king of Wu, Liu Bi, established a Hailing granary on the coast of the Yellow Sea, and took advantage of the convenience of the sea to set up a coastal saltworks, boiling seawater for salt, which made the national strength of Wu very strong at that time, and the reputation of Hailing began. And with "rich in red millet, fish and salt, famous far and near", it is known as "the ancient county of Han and Tang Dynasties and the famous area of Huaihai". At that time, Taizhou was adjacent to the Yangtze River in the south and the Yellow Sea in the east, including Dafeng, Dongtai and Nantong, with a vast territory, numerous salt fields and abundant salt tax resources. Taizhou has been one of the top ten salt tax collection places in China since the Tang Dynasty.

According to the Records of Salt Law in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, salt tax accounted for 50% of the national tax at that time, while salt tax in Taizhou accounted for 50% of the total salt tax in the country, which shows that there were many salt taxes in Taizhou at that time.

According to legend, in 838 AD, the Japanese monk Yuanren and his party who came to China to seek dharma were sailing along the Yunyan River in Taizhou, and they were surprised to see the tax paying salt boats connected end to end, in droves, stretching for dozens of miles.

According to Ma Ling's Book of the Southern Tang Dynasty, at the beginning of the founding of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was "providing 100 million public funds, I don't know the limit, and I loved it, taking Hailing as Taizhou". That is, because Taizhou has paid a lot of salt taxes to the state, it is also an important land, water, land and throat in northern Jiangsu. In 937 AD, Hailing was promoted from a county to a state, taking the meaning of national prosperity and security, so it was named Taizhou, which is the origin of the name of Taizhou. At that time, Hailing county magistrate Chu Rengui was promoted to Taizhou secretariat.

By the time of the Northern Song Dynasty, Taizhou had developed into an inland river port city with salt and grain distribution as the mainstay. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang excavated the Nanguan River and led the water from the Yangtze River directly to the south gate of Taizhou. At one time, hundreds of valleys gathered together, fish and salt gathered together, and merchants gathered. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the salt transportation department in Taizhou was the largest of the six transportation departments in China, and among the three branches in Taizhou, Huai 'an and Tongzhou, Taizhou produced the most. At that time, the branches in Taizhou were Fu 'an, Anfeng, Dongtai, Heduo, Dingxi, Caonian, Wuyou, Xinxing, Miaowan and Liu Zhuang/kloc-0.
