Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region
(Abbreviated as Mongolia)
Mongolia was mostly a nomadic territory in northern China. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the Xiongnu were Xiongnu, and after the Xiongnu were driven away, Xianbei rose up. After Xianbei entered the Central Plains, it was occupied by Rouran. After the defeat of Rouran, the Turks unified the Mongol region. After the Turks were defeated, the Khitans established the Liao state. After that, the Jurchens destroyed the Liao and established the Jin Kingdom. Genghis Khan then led the Mongols to occupy the entire north and conquer Europe. Because of this glory, a large area of nomadic steppe in the north is called Mongolia. During the Republic of China period, the Mongol German kings divided Mongolia, and after several unsuccessful recoveries, Mongolia became an independent state. In order to appease the Mongols who remained in the country, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region was carved out of the former provinces of Ningxia, Suiyuan, Xing'an, Chahar and Xing'an.
Inner Mongolia got its name to distinguish Outer Mongolia, or Mongolia for short. The capital is Hohhot.
Hebei Province
(Abbreviated as Ji)
When Dayu divided Kyushu, the Hebei region belonged to Jizhou. During the Han Dynasty, Hebei was assigned to Jizhou and Youzhou. Because the state is gradually cut into pieces, it is used to manage the state. At that time, the Yellow River was used as a boundary to divide Hebei Province and Henan Province. Of course, the area of Hebei Province at that time was much larger than that of Henan Province. In the Yuan Dynasty, Zhongshu Province was set up, which was directly subordinate to the North in the Ming Dynasty and directly subordinate to the province during the Qing Dynasty. During the Republic of China, it was changed to Hebei Province. After the founding of New China, most of The rehe and Chahar were set aside to establish Inner Mongolia, and the remaining small part was merged into Hebei Province.
Hebei Province got its name because it was in the north of the Yellow River, referred to as Ji. The provincial capital is Shijiazhuang.
Beijing
(Abbreviated as Kyo)
Western Zhou enfeoffed the Yellow Emperor's descendants in the Ji Kingdom. Later, the Ji Kingdom was destroyed by the Yan State, and the Yan State moved its capital to Jicheng. Therefore, there are the names of Yanjing and Yandu. During the Qin Dynasty, JiXian was established. During the Han Dynasty, Youzhou was set up, and Jixian was the seat of governance of Youzhou. The Tang Dynasty set up Fanyang Jiedushi, and during the An Lushan Rebellion, the capital of Beijing was called emperor and called Dayan. During the fifth dynasty, Liu Rengong divided his territory in Beijing and proclaimed himself the King of Yan. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Liao state occupied Beijing and established the capital of Peidu, renaming it Nanjing. After the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, it was renamed Yanjing, also known as Zhongdu. After Temujin conquered, he established a political power and changed his name to Dadu. After conquering the Capital of Yuan in the early Ming Dynasty, it was renamed Beiping. Later, Zhu Di moved the capital to Beiping and changed his name to Beijing. Beijing's name was then switched between Beijing and Peking.
Beijing got its name because the Ming Dynasty had two capitals, north and south, referred to as Beijing.
Tianjin Municipality
(Referred to as Tsu)
The Sui Dynasty excavated the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which became the confluence of the North and South Canals. The Tang Dynasty set up a salt field here, and the Jin Dynasty set up a Zhigu Village. From then on, Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty sent troops to launch the Battle of Jingnan, so the city of Tianjin Wei began to be built here. The Qing Dynasty successively set up Tianjin Prefecture and Tianjin Prefecture. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Tianjin served as the capital of the province directly under its jurisdiction. After the founding of New China, Tianjin became a municipality directly under the central government.
The city of Tianjin got its name because Zhu Di crossed the river here to send troops, taking the Yi tianzi ferry port, referred to as Jin.
Shanxi Province
(Referred to as Jin)
Shanxi was the earliest ruling center of the Xia Dynasty. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a Jin state in Shanxi. After the Jin state became strong, it gradually annexed other princely states. During the Western Han Dynasty, Shanxi mainly belonged to the prefecture. During the Tang Dynasty, Hedong Road was set up. During the Song Dynasty, Shanxi was the junction of Song liao and Western Xia. During the Yuan Dynasty, Shanxi was under the jurisdiction of Zhongshu Province. The Ming Dynasty set up Shanxi Province west of the Taihang Mountains. After that, the shanxi region remained basically unchanged.
Shanxi Province gets its name from the west of the Taihang Mountains, referred to as Jin. The capital of the province is Taiyuan.
