/kloc-in the 6th century, western maritime powers began to compete in Asia, and the superior geographical position of Taiwan Province Province attracted their attention. In order to ensure the management of the Philippines and confront the Netherlands, Britain and Portugal, the Spanish first occupied the northern part of Taiwan Province Province. /kloc-in the autumn of 0/629, the Spanish built the city and church of Santo Domingo as a base for colonization and missionary work, as well as a springboard for Sino-Japanese trade and missionary work. They crossed the river from Danshui to Taipei Plain, surrendered to the tribe, and expanded their power to Hsinchu and Yilan.
164 1 year, in order to prevent the Sino-Japanese trade route from being cut off by Spain, the Netherlands expelled westerners and rebuilt the city (now the "Red Mao City"). They not only helped Pingpu people, but also recruited Han Chinese to explore here, devoted themselves to the distribution of sulfur, deerskin and local products, and even exchanged fresh water for the market between the port and Chinese mainland. 166 1 year, Zheng Chenggong crossed the sea eastward, expelled the Dutch in South Taiwan Province Province, and temporarily returned the fresh water to Zheng Ming. Since then, in addition to the original "Han fan trade", Han people have gradually come here to engage in reclamation until the Ming and Zheng Dynasties destroyed the Qing Dynasty. Gradually, because Danshui is the closest to the mainland, it is a good port in itself, and "Huwei" has gradually changed from a fishing village to a street village and a trading port. During the Kangxi period, Danbei was fortified, fresh water gradually became a village from Fanshe, and the mountainous area was gradually developed. The early port developed Baliche on the south bank, and it was not until 1792 that the Qing court officially opened Baliche to the mainland. However, due to the limited hinterland of sediment deposition, the port gradually moved to fresh water on the north bank. 1808, the naval garrison was moved from Bali to Danshui. Since then, Danshui Street has formed a street around Fu You Palace.
After Jiaqing, fresh water not only became the daily consumption and product distribution center of nearby settlements, but also became the center of regional culture and sacrifice, and major temples were established one after another. After the Opium War, fresh water gradually attracted the attention of the great powers, and ships from various countries went to the fresh water port privately for trade, which was gradually regarded as a potential market.
After Tianjin Treaty, Danshui Port became an international trade port. On June 22nd, 1862, the tax was officially collected. The export of tea, camphor, sulfur, coal, dyes and other local products and the import of opium and daily necessities not only make Tamsui the largest trading port in Taiwan Province, but also make Tamsui leap onto the international stage. Not only the British set up consulates in Hongmao City, but also foreign firms all over the world set up trade in Danshui. Therefore, "every year, the plywood sails are full, and the foreign hotels are noisy", and fresh water has entered a golden age. Fresh water not only dominates trade, but also becomes the gateway for western culture to land in Taiwan Province Province.
On March 9th, 1872, Dr. Ma Kai also went to Danshui and used it as a base for missionary work, medical treatment and education. Danshui established western-style hospitals and new education, which had a far-reaching impact on the early enlightenment of Taiwan Province Province. 1the war of the Qing dynasty in 884 further affirmed the important position of fresh water in economy, national defense and politics.
