First, let's talk about the history of Henan province and Anhui province. I have to say that both provinces belong to the central provinces, and both are china's large population and grain provinces. In fact, in the long river of history, Anhui Province also once belonged to the provinces of the Yellow River Basin, and after the Yellow River was diverted at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Anhui Province no longer had contact with the Yellow River. Prior to this, Anhui Province and Henan Province were both traversing the Yellow River, Huai River and other rivers at the same time. In many ways, several prefecture-level cities in the north of Anhui Province are very close to Henan Province.
In particular, several prefecture-level cities in eastern Henan and northern Anhui are not very different in terms of customs, diet and other aspects. In the 13th century, after the rise of the Yuan Dynasty in the north, in a few decades, it successively eliminated a series of regimes such as the Jin Dynasty, the Western Xia Kingdom, the Dali State, and the Southern Song Dynasty, and established an empire with an unprecedented territory. However, with the expansion of the territory of the dynasty, the shortcomings of the Yuan Dynasty's lack of local management experience began to appear.
Looking at the hundreds of state capitals and thousands of counties on the map, the "Tao Ma Hanzi" was a little worried. Because the two-level division of prefectures and counties handed down during the Tang and Song dynasties was not suitable for the Yuan Dynasty. The 15th Road of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty and the 23rd Road established by the Song Dynasty both belong to the supervision area. In the end, the Yuan Dynasty launched a strengthened and upgraded version on the basis of the 23rd Road of the Song Dynasty, combined with the successful experience of the Jin Dynasty Xing Shang Shutai, which is the provincial system. The Yuan Dynasty divided the country into 10 provinces, such as Sichuan Province, Jiangxi Province, and so on.
Each province administers each road, each road administers each province and directly subordinate state, and each state has jurisdiction over each county and scattered state. At that time, most of Anhui Province and northern Jiangsu were under the administration of Jiangbei Province, Henan. In the eyes of the Yuan Dynasty, Huanghuai and other places were a family. Although the Yuan Dynasty established a provincial system, it was not perfect in all aspects. For example, the area of the district is very unreasonable, and the local management agency is too simple. In short, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty's rule, a series of problems arose.
Therefore, in 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in Fengyang, Anhui, established the Ming Dynasty. On the basis of the provinces of the Yuan Dynasty, the divisions were further adjusted. In the early 15th century, the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di moved the capital, and the Ming Dynasty formed two capitals, the north and south, resulting in the division of the north and south and 13 provinces. At that time, the northern direct subordinate was roughly Hebei Province, and the southern direct subordinate was Anhui and Jiangsu. The basic divisions of many provinces in China were established during the reign of the Ming Dynasty, such as Henan Province, Jiangxi Province, Zhejiang Province and so on.
It is very close to the contemporary division, but several provinces such as Hebei and Anhui are exceptions. In the 17th century, after the Qing Dynasty established its own rule, it further adjusted its divisions on the basis of the Provinces of the Ming Dynasty. Eventually, a pattern of divisions for the 18 inland provinces emerged. The northern direct subordinate was renamed zhili province, and the southern direct subordinate status declined and was renamed Gangnam province. Later, in view of the many problems of Jiangnan Province, in the early days of the reign of the Kangxi Emperor, Jiangnan Province was split into Anhui Province and Jiangsu Province.
So far, several provinces such as Anhui Province and Jiangsu Province have been established. In 1912, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, China fell into a complex period of warlord melee. At that time, the various warlords attacked each other, and they simply did not have the energy to adjust the divisions of each region. For example, the zoning of the border area between Henan Province and Anhui Province has not been clearly demarcated. In the blink of an eye, in 1949, according to the actual needs of the time, Anhui Province was divided into the Northern Anhui Branch District and the Southern Anhui Branch Office District. Yongcheng County in Henan Province, Xiao County and Yanshan County in Jiangsu Province were temporarily assigned to the custody of the Northern Anhui Administration District.
The administrative district belongs to the temporary zoning of the 1950s, which is equivalent to the province. In addition to these administrative areas, a series of administrative districts such as the Northern Shaanxi Provincial Bureau, the Brigade Headquarters Area, and the Southern Sichuan Provincial Office District have also appeared. However, in the early 1950s, it was gradually withdrawn. With the end of the war, our country entered the post-war reconstruction and economic development stage, and a series of important projects began one after another. At that time, excessively complicated zoning was not conducive to economic construction. In 1952, the northern and southern Anhui provinces were re-merged into Anhui Province.
After the re-merger of Anhui Province, it was transferred to Xiao County and Zhongshan County, which were under the administration of northern Anhui, and returned to Jiangsu Province. At the same time, surveying and mapping work began in the border area between Henan Province and Anhui Province. In the same year, Yongcheng County, which was assigned to the custody of northern Anhui, was returned to the Shangqiu Special District of Henan Province. When Yongcheng County was returned to Yuyu, the two townships of Yuting and Xinxing in Anhui Province, as well as 11 villages in other townships, were placed under the administration of the Shangqiu Special District of Henan Province.
Also in 1952, Sun Qi Township in Huoqiu County, Anhui Province, was placed under the administration of Gushi County in Henan Province. Sanhejian Township and Guimiao Township in Huoqiu County were placed under the administration of Huaibin County in Henan Province. In order to compensate for the losses in Anhui Province, Xinjie Township and Huayuan Township in Gushi County, Henan Province, were placed under the administration of Huoqiu County in Anhui Province. This is equivalent to a scaled-down version of the land change, which abounded in the early days of the founding of the country. For example, in order to control the Yellow River, Hebei Province once assigned its five counties, including Dongming County and Changyuan County, to the administration of Henan Province.
In order to compensate for the losses of Hebei Province, at that time, Henan Province assigned its own counties, Linzhang County, Wu'an County and other places to the administration of Hebei Province. The adjustment of the divisions between Henan Province and Anhui Province is not over. In the mid-1950s, the two provinces began a second round of zoning adjustments. In 1955, a total of 100 villages in Huaibin County, Henan Province, were assigned to Funan County in Anhui Province. Seven villages in Funan County, Anhui Province, are included in Huaibin County, Henan Province. In 1956, six villages in Xiangcheng County, Henan Province, were incorporated into Linquan County, Anhui Province.
The three villages in Linquan County are included in Xiangcheng County, Henan Province. In the mid-1960s, the third round of zoning adjustment began. In 1965, six villages in Zhongshan County, Anhui Province, were incorporated into Xiayi County, Shangqiu Prefecture, Henan Province. In the same year, five villages in Xiao County, Anhui Province, were included in Yongcheng County, Shangqiu Special District, Henan Province. But the 55 villages in Yongcheng County were divided into Xiao County in one go. After calculations, in the 1950s and 1960s, more than 200 villages in Henan Province were successively distributed to Anhui Province.
In total, there are more than 140 villages in Anhui Province, which have been successively distributed to Henan Province. At this point, the division of the border area between the two provinces has basically stabilized. I have to say that Anhui Province, Henan Province, and Shandong Province belong to the Lu Yuwan family. At present, the capital cities of the three provinces are developing very rapidly, and they are all trillion club cities.
