In the previous article, I introduced the zoning adjustments of some cities in Zhejiang, such as Jinhua , Quzhou . Of course, there are many cities that have not been introduced yet. Today I will tell you about the zoning adjustments of Zhoushan City in Zhejiang Province, and see how Zhoushan forms a pattern of 4 districts and counties step by step. It is difficult to find historical materials. I hope everyone can like and support it.
First of all, let’s talk about the overall development of Zhejiang Province. What kind of province is Zhejiang? As an important province in the Yangtze River Delta region in my country, its economy has always been far ahead. Fujian is to the south and East China Sea to the east. Currently, Zhejiang has a total area of about 100,000 square kilometers. The famous Qiantang River flows through Zhejiang. How good is Zhejiang's economic development? Especially under the influence of the epidemic, Zhejiang's economy has grown against the trend in the past two years, with an average growth of 6% in the past two years, of which 8.5% more than in 2020. Such data is undeniable.
, as a prefecture-level city under Zhejiang Province, Zhoushan is one of the 27 important cities in the Yangtze River Delta region. Let’s take a look at Zhoushan’s geographical location in Zhejiang Province. Zhoushan is in the northeast of Zhejiang Province, with Shanghai to the north and Hangzhou Bay to the west. From a geographical perspective, Zhoushan’s location is unique, and it can be said that it has a strong geographical advantage. Moreover, China’s North-South Sea route and the Yangtze River waterway meet here. The most important point is that the State Council has set up a commodity trading management center here.
Let’s first talk about the ancient history of Zhoushan:
Zhoushan belonged to the land of Yue Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, Zhoushan area was called Yongdong. Later, it was Warring States Period . Chu Kingdom annexed Yue Kingdom, so the land of Yongdong belonged to the Chu Kingdom. After Qin Dynasty unified the world, most of Zhoushan's territory was in the territory of Kuaiji County, Annexed a state during the Western Han Dynasty. Zhoushan belonged to Kuaiji County, Yangzhou. Such division changes did not adjust during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
During the Three Kingdoms Contest, Zhoushan belonged to Yangzhou of Wu Kingdom , and Western Jin did not change until the Southern Dynasties.
time came to Sui Dynasty . The Sui Dynasty reset the two-level administrative system of counties and counties. Zhoushan was once again divided into Kuaiji County. During the Tang Dynasty , an administrative region of one level was added. At that time, Zhoushan belonged to Mingzhou, east Jiangnan, and the city in the Zhoushan area was called Wengshan.
During the Song Dynasty, the new evolution was changed again, and the road was changed into a road. Zhoushan area belonged to Liangzhe Road Mingzhou. At that time, Zhoushan's name was Changguo. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the area belonging to Zhoushan changed, and Zhoushan belonged to Liangzhe East Road Qingyuan Prefecture.
We all know that When was in the Yuan Dynasty, the provincial system was adopted. Zhoushan belonged to Qingyuan Road, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province. When Ming Dynasty , the city name of Zhoushan was renamed again, called Dinghai, belonging to Ningbo Prefecture, Zhejiang Province. Qing Dynasty did not change.
Let’s talk about the changes in Zhoushan in modern times. The liberation of Zhoushan was on May 17, 1950.
After the liberation, Dinghai County People's Government was established. At that time, the special area jurisdiction system was adopted, and Zhoushan area was under the jurisdiction of Ningbo Special Area.
953, Dinghai County was divided into Dinghai, Putuo and Daishan . At the same time, Shengsi County was taken out from Jiangsu area and Zhoushan District was established.
On the map in 1956, Zhoushan displayed on the map at that time included five counties: Putuo, Daishan, Lisi, Xiangshan and Dinghai.
In 1958, the five counties under Zhoushan were officially merged into Zhoushan County . At that time, the special zone management system was still adopted and belonged to Ningbo Special Zone. The entire Zhoushan area belongs to Zhoushan County.
960 to 1962, Zhoushan was briefly divided into two parts, half belonging to Shanghai and half belonging to Zhejiang Province. In 1962, Zhoushan Commissioner Office was restored, Zhoushan County was abolished, and the three counties of Dinghai, Putuo and Daishan were restored.
1976, Zhoushan District was renamed to Zhoushan District. In 1987, Zhoushan District was abolished and Zhoushan City was officially established, with two counties including Dinghai, Putuo Districts and Daishan Lisi County.
is the adjustment of Zhoushan’s historical evolution. Let’s talk about why Zhoushan has developed relatively slowly in recent years? Compared with other cities in Zhejiang Province, Zhoushan's advantages have always been less obvious. First of all, its prices are too high, with housing prices exceeding 20,000, and its industry is single. The only deep-water port in Zhoushan was taken away by Ningbo.
The second point is that Zhoushan has a relatively small population. From the map, you can see that Zhoushan’s geographical location is too important. Since ancient times, it has been a very important place for coastal defense. Many places are military ports. The militarized positioning has restricted its economic development.
So if you want to develop, you must find the right way to develop yourself. I believe that as long as Zhoushan finds the right way to develop in the future, it will definitely develop better and better.
