Halticosaurus given by Vice Chairman Lin Biao and planned by Chairman Mao. The young cadres in Qianjiang worked to improve the agricultural situation, such as draining hundreds of acres of a local lake to be used as farmland. However, this action caused damage to the local ecosystem. Qianjiang was well known for abundant local produces. Prominent local produces include duck eggs and lily seeds. They were so abundant that the produces were often sold at a nominal price. However, around the year of 1960, Qianjiang didn't escape the fate of most Chinese towns and was swept by an extended famine 	Qianjiang, Hubei

People from Qianjiang and surrounding areas, compared with people from the rest of the Hubei Province, have a reputation for being generous, gentle, and sincere. Prior to the modern days, Qianjiang demonstrated traditional, agriculture-based, Chinese ethos. E.g., if the farmers consider a water buffalo has been hard-working and loyal they would not slaughter it. But rather they would wait until it ages and dies. Then they would bury it and then 	Qianjiang, Hubei

However, they never attempted to escape because it was impossible to hide in any place during those decades. Every town was tightly controlled and monitored by the government. No one would provide a stranger shelter and would only report him immediately to the local government. In 1970, the area was reorganized as . On May 25, 1988, Qianjiang County was abolished, and was replaced with a county-level 	Qianjiang, Hubei

23966123	Halticosaurus Halticosaurus Halticosaurus (HAL-tick-oh-SORE-us") is a dubious genus of theropod dinosaur from the late Triassic period (middle Norian stage, around 215.6–208 million years ago). It is known from a single fragmentary fossil specimen of the species H. longotarsus, found in the Middle Stubensandstein formation of what is present-day Germany The only known specimen was poorly preserved and may have been put together from bones of unrelated animals. Further research would be required to determine which of the bones belonged together, and what kind of theropod "Halticosaurus" was. However, most of the bones have been lost. For  these reasons, "Halticosaurus" is considered to be a "nomen dubium". Etymology. The name "Halticosaurus" comes from the Greek words ' () meaning "good at jumping"/"nimble" and ' () meaning "lizard"; thus "nimble lizard". "Halticosaurus" was described and named by Friedrich von Huene in 1908 and the type species is "Halticosaurus longotarsus". Description. "Halticosaurus longotarsus", is known from the holotype SMNS 12353, which consists of partial jaw bones and teeth, incomplete neck, back, hip and tail vertebrae, a partial humerus, two partial femora, and fragments of an ilium and a metatarsal. The specimen was discovered in the Middle Stubensandstein Member of the Löwenstein Formation in  Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It was recovered by A. Burrer, G. Mayer, and E. Fraas in 1902, at the Burrerschen Quarry, in gray/blue marl that was deposited during the Norian stage of the Triassic period, approximately 215-212 million years ago. The specimen is currently housed in the collection of the State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart in Stuttgart, Germany. von Huene named "Halticosaurus orbitoangulatus" in 1932 on the basis of a mangled skull also from the Middle Stubensandstein, but it is now considered to have belonged to the indeterminate loricatan archosaur "Apatosuchus". He also named "Halticosaurus lilliensterni" in 1934 , but it became the new genus "Liliensternus" in 1984. According to Welles (1984) "H. longotarsus" could be distinguished from the similar species "Liliensternus liliensterni" based on the following features: In 1992, Michael Benton noted that the skull was long but was lightly built, with large fenestrae. The legs of the specimen were strong, and its arms were relatively short. Benton estimated that "Halticosaurus" would have been about long. However, the fossil material used by these previous researchers was later found to be mixed together with the remains of other animals, including a sauropodomorph ("Sellosaurus gracilis"). In 2000, Rauhut and Hungerbühler  re-examined the fossil material and concluded that only the two partial femora could be reliably referred to "H. longotarsus". Classification. In 1908, Huene originally assigned this genus broadly to Dinosauria, and after additional analysis in 1909 he assigned "Halticosaurus" to Saurischia. In 1952, Bock observed enough unique skeletal features to assign it to its own family Halticosauridae. Welles (1984) and Chatterjee (1987) later agreed with this classification. Over the years there was an effort to refer "Halticosaurus" to Podokesauridae by paleontologists like Simmons (1965), Ostrom (1978), Battail (1986) and Carroll (1988). In their attempt at phylogenetic analysis, Norman (1990 ) and later, Rauhut and Hungerbuhler (2000) concluded that "Halticosaurus" was indeterminate because the available material is too poorly preserved. A second species, based on a partial skull SMNS 12353b was assigned to this genus as cf. "Halticosaurus orbitoangulatus" in 1932. In 2000, Rauhut and Hungerbuhler reassigned this material to the genus "Saltoposuchus", a crocodylomorph, based on the morphology of the teeth and the antorbital fenestra in the skull. A new genus name, "Apatosuchus", was created for this specimen by Hans-Dieter Sues and Rainer R. Schoch in 2013 when they realized that it represented a primitive loricatan archosaur rather than  a dinosaur or a crocodylomorph, as a result of further preparation of the specimen. A third species, "H. liliensterni", was reclassified as "Liliensternus" by Welles. Mortimer (2011) noted that between 1934 and 1984, "Liliensternus" was incorrectly considered to be a species of "Halticosaurus".
