history

Baichangmen goes back to the fortress Zhenjing (镇静 堡, meaning “protecting the peace”), one of the garrisons that were founded in the entire county from 1387, at the beginning of the Ming dynasty , to repel Mongols and Manchu. The stationing of troops was of limited use - in 1642 Jinzhou was captured by the Manchus, who overthrew the Ming Dynasty and established their Qing Dynasty in 1644 . In 1648, four years after taking power, Emperor Aisin Gioro Fulin had the so-called “willow palisade” (柳条 边, Manchu: Biregen Jase ) built on the border with the Mongolian tribal area , a fortification system consisting of two parallel earthworks a good meter high which were separated by a trench three meters wide and three meters deep. On the “top of the wall” of the earth walls, willow saplings were planted in three parallel rows, each 34.5 cm apart; After the willows had grown into trees, their branches were tied together with those of the respective neighboring tree. The Zhenjing Fortress was close to the willow palisade, and there was also a gate in the fortification, which was guarded by a few dozen soldiers who were under the border guard group Qinghe (清河 边门 防御, a tributary of the Liao He ).

At that time there was a chalk quarry in the mountains southwest of the fortress . Therefore, the gate was named "Small Gate at the Chalk Quarry" (白 土 厂 小 门, Pinyin Báitǔchǎng Xiǎo Mén ). In 1676 the gate was renamed "Grenztor am Kreidesteinbruch" (白 土 厂 边门, Pinyin Báitǔchǎng Biānmén ). At that time there were outbuildings to the left and right of the gate, one with a detention cell, the other was the guard room. Behind the gate, on the Manchurian side, there was the Yamen of the commander, who by a civilian officers and a sergeant (领催, Manchu: Bošokū ) was supported, the 29 banners soldiers had among themselves. In contrast to the Chinese, who required a special permit for this from 1688, Mongols were allowed to enter Manchuria without any further formalities; they only had to undergo a personal check at the border gate. This opportunity was heavily used by Mongolian traders, who soon settled in the village that formed behind the gate, as well as in what is now Xinlitun, a large community in Heishan County. Today the Mongols are the third largest ethnic group in the district after the Han Chinese and Manchu.

When the Kuomintang troops marched into the area in 1945, after the victory over Japan, they simply called the village behind the gate “Baichangmen” - the chalk quarry had long since ceased to exist. In 1956 the municipality Baichangmen (白 厂 门 乡) was founded, with the village of the same name as the administrative center. In 1958 the villages in the municipality were combined in the " People's Commune Emerald Mountains" (绿 宝山 公社), named after the forested Haitang Mountains (海棠 山) in the west of Baichangmen, since August 1, 2007 a national nature reserve . In 1961 the commune was renamed "Baichangmen People's Commune", then dissolved in 1983 and converted back into a commune. In 1986 Baichangmen was promoted to a large parish.
