In the previous article, I introduced to you a lot of urban zoning changes. The zoning changes of each city are unique to our country, because the place name changes of each city are very complex, and our country has a relatively long history, and the division of regions during each regime is also different during the rule of law. Today I will tell you about the changes and evolution of Baiyin City, Gansu Province, and see how Baiyin City has formed the current pattern of five districts and counties step by step. It is not easy to find historical materials. I hope everyone can like and support it.
First of all, let’s briefly talk about the development of Gansu. Gansu is called Gansu for short. Its provincial capital is Lanzhou. From the map, Gansu is narrow and long. It spans a relatively large area, and the terrain within it is also relatively complex and diverse, including mountains, flat rivers, river valleys, deserts, and Gobi. As a province in the northwest region of my country, Gansu currently has 12 prefecture-level cities and two autonomous prefectures. In 2021, Gansu’s permanent population will be 24.902 million, and its regional GDP will be around 1.00 billion yuan. Due to the restrictions of northwest conditions, Gansu’s economic development is still somewhat unsatisfactory.

BaiyinBaiyin is a prefecture-level city under Gansu Province. The other name is Tongcheng . Currently, Baiyin is the core area of Lanzhou Economic Zone and is also the sub-central city of Lanbai Economic Circle. Baiyin has a permanent population of about 1.51 million, with a total area of 21,200 square kilometers. Currently, there are two districts and three counties. In my country's administrative territory, it is located in the northwest region of my country, the upper reaches of Yellow River . In Gansu Province, it is located in the central area of in Gansu Province. It is located at the intersection of four provinces in Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai. It is the largest non-ferrous metal industrial base with the largest variety in my country. In 2021, silver's GDP will be 57.102 billion yuan. Overall, silver has developed unsurprisingly due to regional relations.
So what kind of zoning changes has silver experienced in history to form the current zoning pattern?

As early as the pre-Qin period, at that time, ethnic minorities lived here in Baiyin City. Most of the ethnic minorities living were Huns , Yuezhi and Qiangrong. Qin Dynasty After unifying the world, it began to attack the Huns, and silver was officially included in the territory of the Central Plains dynasty. However, silver was still relatively deserted at that time and there was no detailed administrative division.
During the Western Han Dynasty, three counties emerged in Baiyin, and they were all under the jurisdiction of Anding County at that time. These three counties are Zuli County, Yuwei County and Queyin County.
During the Western Jin Dynasty, there were only two counties left in the territory, and at that time both counties were under the jurisdiction of Wuwei County .
During the Sui Dynasty , the two counties in Baiyin were called Wulan County and Liangchuan County, which were affiliated to Huining County and Wuwei County.
Later, in , the Tang Dynasty period, Liangshan County was renamed , Huining County , and at this time the county was changed to a prefecture, Huining County was renamed Huizhou, and the Baiyin area belonged to Huizhou and Lanzhou.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, part of Baiyin City was within the territory of Xixia , and the southern part was under the jurisdiction of the Northern Song Dynasty. Huizhou , which belongs to the Northern Song Dynasty.
During the Yuan Dynasty period, the Baiyin area was under the jurisdiction of Ningxiafu Road, Yongchang Road, Huizhou. When of the Ming Dynasty, the northwest of Baiyun City belonged to the scope of Tatar , while other places were under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, which belonged to Ningxia Zhongwei, Jingluwei, and Gongchangfu .
During the Qing Dynasty period, the entire area of Baiyin was once again included in the territory of Qing . At that time, there were Jingyuan and Huining counties in the territory. Some belong to Gongchang Prefecture, and some belong to Lanzhou Prefecture .
In the early days of the Republic of China, the system of Tao was adopted. At that time, there were three counties in Baiyin, all of which were under the jurisdiction of Lanshan Road . In 1928, the system of Tao was abolished, and each county town had direct jurisdiction.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were three counties in Baiyin in 1953. At that time, the system of special district division was adopted, and these three counties belonged to Dingxi Special Zone and Weiwu Special Zone respectively.
1. The county-level city Baiyin City was established in 1956. In 1958, Baiyin City was upgraded to a prefecture-level city. Then in 1963, Baiyin City was abolished, and all counties in Baiyin City were given to the surrounding areas. In 1985, Baiyin City was established again, and the three counties of Jingyuan County , Jingtai County, and Huining County were once again included in the Baiyin zoning scope, gradually forming the current zoning pattern. Since the article has come to this point, let me tell you about the development of the city of Baiyin.

From the perspective of basic resources, silver is a city dominated by non-ferrous metals. Its industry is relatively developed. In recent years, silver has developed rapidly. Although it has a relatively small population, its economic conditions rank among the top cities in the province. Moreover, the Lanzhou-Baizhou economic circle is about to be implemented. There is also a future development direction for silver in the 12th Five-Year Plan. Overall, it feels that the future development prospects are promising.
But to be honest, the current silver economy is still very weak compared with the economy of the eastern coastal provinces. Also, his scientific and educational level is still good in junior and senior high school education, but in higher education, Baiyin is still relatively backward and does not have an outstanding university. There were rumors that Lanzhou University would establish a branch in Baiyin City, but it could not get the land. Finally, Yuzhong County was established, which now leads to almost zero higher education in Baiyin.

The customs and customs of Baiyin City are also quite good. Most of the population is indigenous residents and has their own unique customs. Most of the residents of Baiyin District are migrant residents. Baiyin was established because of a large number of copper mines , which has made indelible contributions to the development of our country. However, locals almost do not know these contributions. If you evaluate Baiyin as a whole, it is a low-key hero city.
This is all for you about the zoning changes of silver. In the subsequent article, I will introduce the zoning changes of other cities to you. I hope you can, thank you for your support, goodbye.
