told you in a previous article that the evolution of zoning changes in many cities is unique. This is because our country has a very long history. The long history has allowed our country to go through many political regimes. During the period when different regimes were in power, the regional changes were different. The requirements for domain division and naming are different. Today I will tell you about the zoning changes of Songyuan City, Jilin Province. Let’s see how Songyuan gradually formed the current layout of five districts and counties. It is not easy to find historical materials. I hope you can simply like and support it.
First, let’s briefly talk about the development of Jilin Province. The abbreviation of Jilin Province is Ji. As a provincial administrative region of my country, it is geographically located in the northeastern region of my country. Jilin Province is located on the border of my country. It borders Russia and North Korea. The current permanent population of Jilin Province is 23.75 million. Today, Jilin Province has 8 prefecture-level cities. In the early days of the founding of New China, Jilin Province was an important industrial base in my country, as well as a production base for commercial grains. With the rise of the southeastern coastal provinces, the economic development of Jilin Province has been somewhat worrying in recent years. The economic GDP of the region in 2020 was only 1,231.1 billion yuan. Such data is not very high among the rankings of all provinces in our country.
Songyuan is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Jilin Province. Geographically, it is located in the central and western region of Jilin Province. According to census data, the current permanent population of Songyuan City is more than 2.2 million people. The former Songyuan, Baotou, Hohhot, and Ordos were known as the Four Little Economic Dragons of Northern China. Songyuan has always been called the granary of and in the north, and Songyuan is also a hot spot in the eyes of multinational companies. However, due to the impact of the epidemic, Songyuan's economic development has not been very good in recent years. In 2020, Songyuan's regional GDP was only 75.2 billion yuan.
So what kind of zoning changes occurred in Songyuan in history, and how did it gradually form the current zoning pattern?
Songyuan has a relatively long history. In the 22nd century BC, an agricultural country Fuyu State was established in the Northeast. This is also the most brilliant page in the history of northern Xinjiang.
The detailed administrative planning of Songyuan should start from modern times. Starting from and in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the Qing government mainly adopted the general system to govern the Northeastern region. There were three generals, among which the Jilin general was mainly responsible for the Songyuan area.
In the early Qing Dynasty, Liutiaobian was established to govern the Northeastern region (mainly imposing a ban on the Northeast region). There were several military towns in Liutiaobian, and the city of Bertune, where Songyuan was located, was one of these military towns. During the Kangxi period, Bertune City was the most important node leading to Qiqihar.
After the fall of the Qing government, during the Republic of China, Bodune City was changed to Xincheng County. In the early Republic of China, a system like Dao was adopted. Xincheng County at that time belonged to the northwest road of Jilin Province. Because there were Xincheng counties in Shandong and Hebei during the Republic of China, Xincheng County in Jilin Province was renamed Fuyu County.
The provincial system was abolished in the 16th year of the Republic of China, and each county was under the direct jurisdiction of the province. After the fall of the Northeast, the Songyuan area was under the jurisdiction of the puppet regime established by the Japanese invaders. After the Anti-Japanese War, there were many provinces in the Northeast, one of which was called Nenjiang Province. Nenjiang Province administered the Songyuan area.
Nenjiang Province was split in 1949, and Fuyu County to which Songyuan belonged was also placed under the jurisdiction of Jilin Province. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of my country, the special district system was adopted. At that time, Fuyu County belonged to Baicheng Special District , In 1987, Fuyu County became Fuyu City, but Fuyu City at that time was a county-level city. In 1992, Fuyu City was revoked and the prefecture-level city Songyuan City was established. So far, Songyuan has appeared in the administrative map of my country as a prefecture-level city.
Now that the article has come to this point, let me briefly tell you what the city of Songyuan is like. Many Songwon people actually want to call their city Buyeo City.When Songyuan City was first established as a county-level city, it did not want to stop at county-level cities in terms of zoning and construction. However, the area of the construction area at that time did not meet the basic requirements for prefecture-level cities. After annexing several counties, it basically met the requirements for becoming a prefecture-level city.
Many locals in Songyuan know Songyuan as cold and dusty streets. In recent years, with the reform and opening up of our country, the economy of Songyuan area has also developed, and Songyuan has developed relatively rich. However, in the eyes of outsiders, many people think that Jilin Songyuan is very poor. In fact, generally speaking, Songyuan is not very poor now. At least it has a superior geographical location, and it was once one of the four little dragons in the economic growth of the north.
Songyuan is also very rich in local resources, especially mineral resources. According to exploration, its total oil resource reserves are 2.6 billion tons. The oil fields in Songyuan City are the sixth largest oil fields in my country. The editor of
once had the honor to go to Songyuan. The feeling about Songyuan is very strange. There are not many opportunities for development in this place, but there are many rich people, most of whom are the savings left by their ancestors. Many people also choose to come to Songyuan for retirement. The houses are cheap, the life pressure is not great, and the cost of living is relatively low. However, it is really not a good choice for young people to come here to work hard.
Generally speaking, today's Songyuan is a very pleasant city. This kind of city feels both big and small. You can also enjoy good education while walking along the river, and you can live a stress-free life in the local area. Most of the small cities in the Northeast are like this.
However, another disadvantage of Songyuan is that earthquakes occur frequently. Although they are small earthquakes, they are really exciting for some elderly people with weak hearts.
has just told you about the zoning changes and evolution of Songyuan. In subsequent articles, I will introduce you to the zoning evolution of other cities. I hope you like it. Thank you for your support. Goodbye!
