Whenever you look at the map of Hubei Province, you will find that Ezhou , Tianmen , Qianjiang and Xiantao are particularly small in area and are incompatible with other prefecture-level cities. So Ezhou's area and population are similar to Tianmen, Qianjiang and Xiantao. Why are Ezhou a prefecture-level city, while Tianmen, Qianjiang and Xiantao are county-level cities?

Ezhou: formerly known as Wudu, ancient Wuchang , one of the Wuhan metropolitan areas. Ezhou is the birthplace of Hubei culture and is one of the two major cultural centers in Hubei Province (the other is Jingzhou ). The abbreviation of Hubei Province comes from Ezhou. Ezhou has a long history. In the pre-Qin period, it was the capital of E Kingdom and the capital of Chu. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, , King of Wu , Sun Quan established his capital here and was named Wuchang, which means "to be prosperous with Wu", so Ezhou is also called "the ancient capital of Wu" . In recent years, Ezhou has formed the Hubei-east metropolitan area with Huanggang and Huangshi , and has actively integrated the city with Wuhan.

Ezhou has become a prefecture-level city, while Tianmen, Qianjiang and Xiantao have become county-level cities, as follows:
First of all, Ezhou is the center of Ezhou, one of the two major cultural centers in Hubei Province (the other is Jingzhou). Hubei Province's abbreviation "E" was named Ezhou, and Ezhou is also the ancient Wuchang Prefecture. In modern times, Wuhan is at the intersection of Yangtze River and Hanjiang , and the governance of Zhangzhidong made Wuhan reborn in Ezhou and became an international metropolis. It can be said that Ezhou is the root of Wuhan culture.
Secondly, Ezhou has a long history. In the pre-Qin period, it was the capital of E State and the capital of Chu State; in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, King Sun Quan of Wu established his capital here and was named Wuchang, which means "to be prosperous with Wu", so Ezhou is also called "the ancient capital of King Wu" . Later, since Ezhou was close to the junction of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Wu moved its capital to Nanjing, and Nanjing only entered the historical stage. It can be said that Ezhou has a longer history than Nanjing, one of the four ancient capitals.

Ezhou is opposite Huanggang, and Huangshi is facing the south. In the future, Ezhou, Huanggang and Huangshi will form the East Hubei metropolitan area. In the future, Ezhou will travel in front of the world with a new attitude.
, Tianmen, Qianjiang and Xiantao were previously , Jingzhou area , and have no unique history. We were going to form a new Jianghan City before, but it was left unresolved due to mutual "internal strife". Let us wait and see if a new Jianghan City will be formed in the future.

To sum up, since Ezhou is the center of Hubei culture, one of the two major cultural centers in Hubei (the other is Jingzhou of Jingchu culture), and the ancient capital of Sun Wu, has its own unique history, so Ezhou has become a prefecture-level city in Hubei, while Tianmen, Xiantao and Qianjiang can only become county-level cities.
