Sanliting Community

Overview

Sanliting Community belongs to Honglan Subdistrict and is the seat of the subdistrict office. The district government's administrative divisions page gives Honglan Subdistrict an area of 108.99 km² with 8 residents' committees and 4 villagers' committees, and records the seat as "Sanliting Residents' Committee".

The eight residents' committees are Honglan, Sanliting, Tianshengqiao, Xiwang, Wuxiangsi, Fujiabian, Putang and Shanggang; the four villagers' committees are Tangxi, Qingfeng, Chenbian and Jiangjia. The seat does not share the subdistrict's name: the subdistrict is named Honglan, but its office sits in Sanliting. The boundaries, household count and population of Sanliting Community are not recorded in the sources used here.

The limits of the seat record

The limits of that record of the seat must be stated: Sanliting as the seat of the subdistrict office appears only in the seat column of the district government's administrative divisions page. The reply Su Zheng Fu [2015] No. 69 of 15 July 2015 concerns only the towns of Yongyang and Zhetang and does not reach Honglan; the reply Su Zheng Fu [2018] No. 30 of 15 May 2018 withdrew Honglan Town and established Honglan Subdistrict but did not specify a subdistrict seat, unlike the case of Dongping Subdistrict, whose clause states expressly that "the Dongping Subdistrict office is seated within Fangbian Residents' Committee". The committee name of the Honglan seat therefore rests on the administrative divisions page alone; this library holds no Honglan Subdistrict profile page against which to corroborate it.

As indirect support, the public notice of 27 June 2022 of the first batch of Lishui place-name cultural heritage lists under the row for Honglan Subdistrict seven place names, Tianshengqiao, Wuxiangsi, the Yanzhi River, Putang Bridge, Cangkou, Honglan and Chenshan, showing the distribution of place names within the subdistrict's jurisdiction; "Honglan" shares the subdistrict's name, while "Sanliting" is not on that list. The list gives only names and administrative affiliation, with no dates or protection status, and cannot be used to corroborate the seat.

Points of doubt

• Honglan Subdistrict takes its name from Honglan, yet its office sits in Sanliting Community; how the seat was chosen is not recorded in the sources used here.
• The extent, date of establishment and origin of the name of Sanliting Community are not recorded in the sources used here.
• Sanliting as the seat of the subdistrict office rests on a single source, the administrative divisions page; this library holds no Honglan Subdistrict profile page and no approval document establishing that subdistrict, so the two cannot be checked against each other.
• For the totals of 8 residents' committees and 4 villagers' committees of Honglan Subdistrict, this library holds no approval document listing the names one by one, so the differences before and after 2018 cannot be checked name by name; this differs from Dongping Subdistrict, whose approval lists the names.
