told you a lot about the zoning changes of cities in previous articles. The zoning changes of each city are unique to me, because the scale of education in our country is unprecedentedly large and has a long history, 5,000 years of history. , many place names changed step by step, and the current place names were formed. At the same time, the territory of each place was constantly adjusted, because during the period of power of each regime, its territory area was also different, and the rulers' needs for territorial division were also different. Today I will tell you about the evolution of zoning changes in Luohe City, Henan Province, and see how Luohe gradually formed the current layout of five districts and counties. It is not easy to find historical materials. I hope you can like and support it.
First, let’s briefly talk about the development of Henan Province. Henan is an important comprehensive transportation hub in my country because of its dangerous geographical location. It is located in the middle of the world. In history, more than 200 emperors have established their own businesses here. Because it is located in the Yellow River basin, the terrain within the territory is mainly composed of plains and hills. It is located in Spanning the four major river basins of the Huaihe River, the Yellow River, the Haihe and the Yangtze River, according to census data, Henan currently has a permanent population of more than 90 million people. It governs 17 prefecture-level cities and 82 counties. In 2021, Henan's regional GDP was 5.8 trillion yuan. Such data ranks around the middle and upper reaches of all provinces in China.
Luohe City is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Henan Province. It is also an important national food city established in our country. It is also a regional transportation hub city. Luohe has a relatively small area of only 2,617 square kilometers. It has a total jurisdiction of three districts and two counties. The GDP of the Luohe region in 2021 is 172.11 billion yuan, which is equivalent to an increase of 1.1% in 2020. This growth rate is still relatively fast. Luohe has a very long history. He once unearthed a seven-note ancient flute, which is the earliest musical instrument in the world. At the same time, an oracle bone inscription from 9,000 years ago was also discovered. Overall, the development prospects of Luohe are now very good.
So what kind of zoning changes has Luohe experienced in history before it gradually formed its current zoning pattern.
was first developed in the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, the Luohe River was on the edge of Cai State and Zheng State. The place name of Luohe was Hu. There were wars here all the year round. During the Warring States Period. Luohe is located on the border between the Kingdom of Wei and the Kingdom of Chu, and wars were very frequent. The name of Luohe at that time was Yancheng. After the rise of the Qin State, it unified the world and adopted the famous county system. At that time, part of Luohe belonged to Yingchuan County, and part of it belonged to Chen County.
During the Western Han Dynasty, the county system of the Qin Dynasty was continued. At the same time, administrative supervision agencies at the level of the Provincial History Department were added to the counties and counties. There were 13 Provincial History Departments in the country. During the Western Han Dynasty, Luohe belonged to the Yuzhou Provincial History Department, part of which belonged to Yingchuan County, and part of which belonged to Runan County. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the system of the Western Han Dynasty continued to be followed, and no major zoning changes occurred. However, the name of Luohe at that time was Lin County.
After the Yellow Turban Uprising, the regime of the Eastern Han Dynasty existed in name only. During the Three Kingdoms' struggle for hegemony, Luohe was under the jurisdiction of the Cao Wei regime and belonged to Yingchuan County and Runan County in Yuzhou.
During the Western Jin period, our country once again achieved the unification of the north and the south, and Luohe belonged to Yingchuan County in Yuzhou. Soon after the collapse of the Western Jin Dynasty, my country once again ushered in a unified state in the Sui Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty re-adopted the county system, and Luohe belonged to Yingchuan County.
In the Tang Dynasty, the administrative district of the Dao level was added to the previous counties and counties, and the three-level administrative system of Daozhou and County was adopted. During the Tang Dynasty, Luohe belonged to Yuzhou, Henan Province, and the place name of Luohe at that time was Tuokou.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, the road was converted into a road, and the three-level administrative system of Lufu and County was adopted. At that time, Luohe belonged to Yingchang Prefecture, North Beijing Road, and the place name was Langkou Town.Later, Jin Dynasty controlled the Yellow River Basin, and often continued to adopt the administrative planning of the Northern Song Dynasty in local administrative planning. Luohe River belonged to Xuzhou, Nanjing Road, and the landform of Luohe River was called Tuokou Town.
After the establishment of in the Yuan Dynasty, due to the unprecedentedly large territory, the famous provincial system was adopted. Luohe belonged to Bianliang Road, Jiangbei Province, Henan.
During the Ming Dynasty, large-scale adjustments were made to the boundaries of the provinces, and the provinces were changed into Chengxuanzhengshisi. Luohe belonged to Henan Chengxuanzhengshisi and Kaifeng Prefecture Yancheng. After the establishment of and in the Qing Dynasty, the system of the Ming Dynasty continued to be adopted, and no major zoning changes occurred.
A piece of history that I have to talk about here is that in the late Qing Dynasty, the Beijing-Hankou Railway built a station here, and the name at that time was called Luowanhe Station. After the construction of Luohe Station, Luohe Town also became prosperous. Later, when the People's Republic of China was established, was established, and now Luohe City, a county-level city, was established in 1948. In 1986, Luohe City, a county-level city, was upgraded to a provincial city. At that time, it had three counties and one district. In 2014, a zoning adjustment was carried out, changing the previous three counties and one district into three districts and two counties. So far, Luohe has officially appeared on the map of our country in its current form.
Now that the article has come to this point, let me briefly talk about the future development of Luohe.
The reason why Luohe is today's prefecture-level city is explained above. It is because it is an important link on the major channel. There are many routes from Beijing to Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao passing through Luohe. These roads determine its development. However, many cities around Henan Province are accelerating the opening of high-speed rail. After the Zhoukou-Pingdingshan high-speed rail is opened in the future, the position of Luohe transportation hub will decline, which is definitely negative for urban development.
The development of a city ultimately depends on the development of people. Luohe's ability to attract talents can be said to be minimal. There are no decent universities in terms of education. Moreover, Luohe's main industries are food processing and slaughtering, which are all population-intensive industries. The labor cost is relatively low, the technical content is relatively low, and the quality of the population is not very high. As labor costs rise, Luohe's development is not very low.
hopes that the city of Luohe can find its own development path in the future and develop better and better. That’s it for everyone about the evolution of zoning changes in Luohe. In subsequent articles, I will introduce to you the evolution of zoning changes in other cities. I hope you like it. Thank you for your support. Goodbye!
