told you about the evolution of zoning changes in many cities. The evolution of zoning changes in each city is very complicated because our country has a long history. 5,000 years of historical and cultural heritage. During the periods when different regimes were in power, our country had different needs for geographical division. However, these 5,000 years of history were all aimed at consolidating the central government's rule, and the changes in each place have unique significance to our country. Today I will tell you about the evolution of zoning changes in Baishan City, Jilin Province. Let’s take a look at how Baishan formed the current zoning pattern step by step. It’s not easy to find historical materials. I hope you can like and support it.
First, let’s briefly talk about the development of Jilin Province. Take a look at the impressive achievements Jilin Province has made since the establishment of in New China.
Jilin Province, abbreviated as Ji, is a very important province in the middle of the northeastern region of my country. It borders Liaoning, Heilongjiang and Inner Mongolia. Geographically, it is located in the geometric center of Northeast Asia.
In recent years, the economy of Jilin Province has been relatively mediocre compared to the three eastern provinces. In 2020, Jilin Province's regional GDP was only about 1,000 billion yuan. Today, Jilin Province has a permanent population of more than 23 million. There are currently 8 prefecture-level cities, one autonomous prefecture, and a total of 63 counties and cities in Jilin Province. Various data show that the current economic development situation of Jilin Province is not optimistic.
Baishan is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Jilin Province. In the past, Baishan was called Hunjiang . Geographically, it is located on the west side of Changbai Mountain. At present, Baishan has two districts, two counties, and one autonomous county, which oversees a county-level city. Baishan City has a relatively large area, with an area of 17,485 square kilometers. Due to Baishan's unique geographical location, it is rich in resources. Baishan is also known as the hometown of ginseng. It is also a major timber producing area in my country. 60% of the Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve is located in Baishan City. Baishan's regional GDP in 2021 is 54.1 billion yuan. Overall, Baishan's economic development still needs to be improved.
So what kind of zoning changes did Baishan go through in history to gradually form the current zoning pattern?
Baishan has a relatively long history. During the Neolithic period, there were human activities here in Baishan. During the Warring States Period, the Northeastern region was mainly under the jurisdiction of the State of Yan. The State of Yan established Liaodong County, and Baishan belonged to Liaodong County. After the Qin Dynasty unified the world, the Baishan area did not belong to the political territory of the Qin Dynasty. The Central Plains Dynasty called this place Liaodong Waijiao.
During the Han Dynasty, the southeastern region of Jilin Province was officially included in the territory of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty successively established Xuantu County and Zhenfan County in Jilin area. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Goguryeo gradually rose in the Northeast region, which lasted until the Tang Dynasty . During the Tang Dynasty, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan destroyed Goguryeo and established the Andong Protectorate .
Later, a relatively large country was established in the Northeast region, Bohai State . During the Liao Kingdom period, the Bohai Kingdom was eliminated. During the rule of the Liao Kingdom, the main political power in the northeastern region was the Dongdan Kingdom. The remaining refugees from the Bohai Kingdom established the Ding'an Kingdom with Baishan City as the center.
During the rule of the Liao Dynasty, the Daozhou system was adopted. At that time, Baishan City mainly belonged to the Tokyo Dao of the Liao Kingdom. Afterwards, the Kingdom of Jin annexed the Kingdom of Liao and established the Tonkin Road Posa Mansion.
Time came to the Yuan Dynasty . The Yuan Dynasty adopted the famous provincial system. At that time, the territory of Baishan City belonged to Liaoyang Xingzhongshu Province .
During the Ming Dynasty, in order to strengthen the control of the Northeast region, the Ming Dynasty established many Dusi . The Baishan area fell under the jurisdiction of the Jianzhou Wei of Nurgan Dusi . During the Qing Dynasty , three major generals were established in the Northeast region. At that time, the Baishan area was mainly under the jurisdiction of General Jilin.During the Guangxu period, the general system was abolished, and the Northeastern region officially appeared on the administrative map of our country as a province. The Baishan area belonged to Fengtian Province.
In the early years of the Republic of China, the organizational system of the Qing Dynasty was still followed, and no major zoning changes occurred. At the beginning, the road system was adopted. Fengtian Province was divided into 5 roads, and the Baishan area belonged to the Donglu Road. Later, after the Northeastern region fell and the Baishan area was occupied by the Japanese invaders, the Japanese invaders established the pseudo-Andong Province.
The Northeastern region was liberated in 1945. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Baishan area at that time belonged to Liaodong Province. In 1954, it was assigned to Jilin Province and was under the jurisdiction of Tonghua District of Jilin Province. At that time, the name of Baishan was Hunjiang County. In 1985, Hunjiang County was upgraded to the prefecture-level city Hunjiang City. In 1994, Hunjiang County was renamed Baishan City. So far, Baishan City has officially appeared on the administrative division map of my country with this name.
Now that the article has come to this point, let me briefly tell you what kind of city Baishan is.
Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, Baishan City has always focused on the economy, closely followed the leadership of the central government, and developed wholeheartedly. In recent years, Baishan's comprehensive economic strength has been significantly improved, and economic aggregate has reached a new level in the new year. And because it is located at the foothills of Changbai Mountain, the air quality in Baishan is the best in the early days. Ginseng mink fur deer antlers are all produced in Baishan.
At the same time, there are many scenic spots in Baishan, such as Songhua River, Baishan Reservoir Area and Yalu River Yunfeng Reservoir Area, which are good places for people to relax. The Baishan area has high quality and low price, and all kinds of delicious food.
If you look at the data from the 40 years of reform and opening up , you can know how hard Baishan has worked hard to develop in these years. 40 years ago, Baishan's per capita GDP was only 449 yuan. In 2017, it has reached 58,503, a direct increase of 45.7 times. This shows how good Baishan's economic development is.
