Jiangxi province, referred to as Jiangxi. In 733 AD, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty set up a west road in the south of the Yangtze River, which was named Hangsheng, also referred to as Ganjiang. "From the north to the south of the Yangtze River, Jiangdong is on the left and Jiangxi is on the right." Don't call you Jiang. Since ancient times, Jiangxi has been rich in humanities and products, and has the reputation of "the country of righteousness, the country of white cranes and the abundance of rice".

Capital: Nanchang City

Jiangxi Province is located in the south bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the southeast of China, bordering Zhejiang and Fujian in the east, Guangdong in the south, Hunan in the west, Hubei and Anhui in the north, and the Yangtze River. Jiangxi is the hinterland of the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta and the Minnan Delta, and its linear distance from Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xiamen, Nanjing, Wuhan, Changsha, Hefei and other major towns and ports is mostly within 600 to 700 kilometers. Jiangxi province is called "Wutou, Chuwei, Guangdong and Fujian" in ancient times, which is a "winning area".

The province has a good ecological environment, with a forest coverage rate of 59.7%, ranking first in the country. Rich in mineral resources, copper, tungsten, uranium, tantalum, rare earth, gold and silver are known as the "seven golden flowers" in Jiangxi.

The history of Jiangxi's development can be traced back to 10 thousand years from the textual research of unearthed cultural relics. Jiangxi is a clear administrative regional organizational system.

It began in the early years of Emperor Gaudi of Han Dynasty (about 202 BC). At that time, there were counties, which governed Nanchang and 18 counties, namely Nanchang, Luling, Pengze, Poyang, Chaisang, Jiangxi, Xingan, Yichun, Ai, Anping, Haishun, Liling, and the distribution areas were Ganjiang.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty designated the whole country as 13 monitoring area, which was called 13 county. At this time, Jiangxi belongs to Yangzhou Prefecture.

In the first year of Yuankang in the Western Jin Dynasty, it was changed to Jiangzhou in 29 1, and the main body was the original county of Jiangxi.

During the Sui Dynasty, the administrative divisions were adjusted, and the level of the state was the same as that of the county, so there were 7 counties and 24 counties in Jiangxi in the Sui Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, it increased to 8 states and 37 counties, namely Hongzhou, Raozhou, Qianzhou, Jizhou, Jiangzhou, Yuanzhou, Fuzhou and Xinzhou.

In the first year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong designated 10 prison areas throughout the country, and it increased to 15 in Xuanzong. Hong, Rao, Qian, Ji, Jiang, Yuan, Fu and Xin Bazhou belong to the monitoring area west of the Yangtze River.

During the Five Dynasties, Jiangxi was under the jurisdiction of the Southern Tang Dynasty (called Wu in the early stage of the Southern Tang Dynasty). During this period, there appeared a new administrative division equivalent to the lower state: 6 states, 4 armies and 55 counties.

In the first year of Jiaotai, the Southern Tang Dynasty decided to build Nandu in Hongzhou, and therefore promoted Hongzhou to Nanchang Prefecture.

In the Song Dynasty, it changed to the road above the state, and Jiangxi was assigned to 9 States, 4 armies and 68 counties, most of which belonged to Jiangnan West Road and some belonged to Jiangnan East Road.

The Yuan Dynasty began to establish a provincial book system (province or province for short) in banks. The provincial jurisdiction of Jiangxi is far greater than that of today's Jiangxi provinces and regions. In addition to the vast majority of today's Jiangxi Province (formerly the northeast of Jiangxi Province belongs to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces), it also includes most of today's Guangdong Province. Yuanxing province consists of Lu, Zhili, Zhou (with county-level administrative agencies) and county. Jiangxi Province governs Longxing, Ji 'an, Nankang, Ganzhou, Jianchang, Jiangzhou, Nan 'an, Ruizhou, Yuanzhou, Linjiang, Fuzhou, Raozhou, Xinzhou, etc. 13 Road, Nanfeng, Qianshan and other two Zhili States, 48 counties, 16 county-level states.

Although the Ming Dynasty basically retained the organizational system of provinces and autonomous regions in the Yuan Dynasty, it changed Zhongshu Province into a public ministry (traditionally still called a province), changed its route to a prefecture and changed it into a county. Jiangxi Administration Council governs Nanchang, Ruizhou, Raozhou, Nankang, Jiujiang, Guangxin, Fuzhou, Jianchang, Ji 'an, Yuanzhou, Linjiang, Ganzhou, Nan 'an 13, and governs 78 counties, which is basically the same as today's Jiangxi provinces and regions. At that time, the Procurator's Department, the Procurator's Department and the Procurator's Department were the highest administrative organs of the Procurator's Department in Jiangxi Province, and the three departments were directly controlled by the central government and governed by decentralization.

In the Qing Dynasty, Jiangxi was changed to Jiangxi Province, and the administrative region basically inherited the Ming system. Three county-level halls, namely, Ji 'an Lotus Hall, Nanchang Tonggu Hall and Ganzhou Qiannan Hall, were added, and Ningdu County was promoted to provincial Zhili Prefecture. The Governor-General has become the chief executive of the province, and has two departments, namely, the department that undertakes propaganda and decision-making bureau and the department that submits judgments and formulates judges, and is responsible for civil affairs, finance and judicial supervision.

During the Republic of China, the government, prefecture and hall of the Qing Dynasty were all changed to counties. Jiangxi Province * * * governs 8 1 county. By 1926, the Northern Expeditionary Army entered Nanchang and Nanchang was formally established. Wuyuan County was transferred from Anhui to Jiangxi in 1934, back to Anhui in 1947, and again to Jiangxi in 1949.

During the Second Revolutionary Civil War, China's * * * production party led the people to establish a large number of revolutionary base areas in Jiangxi. Among them, the famous ones are Jinggangshan revolutionary base areas in western Jiangxi (including Ninggang, Yongxin, Lianhua and parts of Ji 'an, Anfu, Suichuan and Lingxian in Hunan), Xianggan revolutionary base areas, Northeast Jiangxi revolutionary base areas (including Yiyang, Hengfeng, Guixi, Dexing, yujiang county, Wannian, Shangrao and Qianshan counties, and later developed into Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi revolutionary base areas) and bronze drums. At that time, the central revolutionary base was in 2 1 counties in southern Jiangxi and western Fujian (including Ruijin, Anyuan, Xinfeng, Guangchang, Shicheng, Lichuan, Ningdu, Xingguo, Du Yu, Huichang, Xunwu and other places in Jiangxi) 1 1 county, while the temporary central government of the Chinese Soviet was located in Ruijin.
