Shuangpaishi Community

Overview

Shuangpaishi Community belongs to Hefeng Town and is the seat of the town people's government. The district government's administrative divisions page gives Hefeng Town an area of 190.23 km² with 6 residents' committees and 6 villagers' committees, and records the seat as "Shuangpaishi Residents' Committee".

The town profile page gives the area as 198 km², including 100 km² of Shijiu Lake, a different basis from the 190.23 km² in the table; both figures stand, as set out in this library's survey of the divergent official figures for area and committee counts.

The six residents' committees are Fenghuanglu, Shuangpaishi, Maogongpu, Shatang'an, Kongzhen and Wufeitang; the six villagers' committees are Sunjiaxiang, Zhangjia, Luoshan, Shenjiashan, Wuqiao and Zhongyang. Four of the villagers' committees — Luoshan, Zhangjia, Sunjiaxiang and Wuqiao — contain provincial or national traditional villages. The boundaries, household count and population of Shuangpaishi Community are not recorded in the sources used here.

The traditional village affiliation of the four villagers' committees named above can be checked name by name against the reply of the district culture and tourism bureau of November 2023, which states that "Tai Village in Jingqiao, Luoshan in Hefeng and Yangjia Village in Sunjiaxiang and two others, five villages in all, entered the sixth batch of the traditional village list of Jiangsu"; the two Hefeng villages there are Luoshan and Sunjiaxiang, with Yangjia Village a settlement within the latter. The traditional village affiliation of Zhangjia Village (Zhujia) and of Wucunqiao Village (Chenguo) rests on the first and eighth batches respectively. The two replies give only the listing affiliation and say nothing about Shuangpaishi Community, so information at community level still has no source.

Limits of the sources

The three sources of this entry verify the name and seat status of the Shuangpaishi residents' committee and the traditional village affiliation of the four villagers' committees of Hefeng Town, but none of them gives other information at community level: the extent, boundaries, household count and population, date of establishment and origin of the name of Shuangpaishi Community are all unrecorded.

Hefeng Town existed before 2015, and this library holds no approval document for its establishment or its seat, so Shuangpaishi as the seat of the town people's government rests on the administrative divisions page alone and cannot be corroborated. This differs from Zhetang Subdistrict, where the 2015 reply records "the subdistrict office seated at No. 8 Tuanshan West Road", a street name sharing its origin with the Tuanshan Community Residents' Committee, and from Dongping Subdistrict, where the 2018 reply states expressly that the office sits within Fangbian Residents' Committee.

Points of doubt

• Shuangpaishi Community does not share the town's name; how the name Shuangpaishi arose is not recorded in the sources used here.
• The extent, date of establishment and origin of the name of Shuangpaishi Community are not recorded in the sources used here.
• Shuangpaishi as the seat of the town people's government rests on a single source, the administrative divisions page; this library holds no approval document or street address for Hefeng Town against which to check it.
• The reply names only three villages of the sixth batch while giving a total of five, leaving two unnamed; the listing total for Hefeng Town must not be completed on that basis.
