how counties phenomenon of the same name is produced?

On July 29, 2019, the Jiangxi Provincial People's Government announced that theState Council agreed to revoke Shangrao County and establish a GuangxinDistrict in Shangrao City. Prior to this, Shangrao County had the samespecial name as the administrative district of Shangrao City, which is"Shangrao". This phenomenon is called "the county and thecity have the same name" or "the city and the county have the samename". According to the "Regulations on the Administration ofGeographical Names", "place names above counties and citiesnationwide should not have duplicate names and avoid homonyms." However,the phenomenon of same names still exists in counties and cities. NanchangCounty, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province. How did this happen?

Before and after the zoning adjustment, Shangrao City

abolished the government and rescued the country.

If the root cause of the phenomenon of "same names in counties andcities" is mentioned, we must first talk about the policy of" abolishing the government and protecting counties" by theBeiyang Government. In the Qing Dynasty, local administration wasbasically at the provincial-government-county level, and there was still avirtual road between the province and the government. After the Revolutionof 1911, in order to reflect the revolution of the Republic of China, theBeiyang government decided to simplify the hierarchy. In the second year of theRepublic of China (1913), the "Ordinance Order for ProvincialAdministrative Offices of All Provinces" was issued. Uniform CurrentOrganizational Orders of County Administrators, basically established a systemof administrative regions at the provincial, state, and county levels: thegovernment changed the supervision function of Tao from the Qing Dynasty to acomplete administrative agency (Tao in the Qing Dynasty was a deputy provincialsupervisor Region), became a secondary administrative region between theRepublic of China and the Qing Dynasty abolished counties and scattered stateswithout direct jurisdiction. The Qing government, Zhili, Zhili, themunicipality, and the government were reorganized into counties.

"Abandoned officials defending counties" is a major reform of placenames in modern times, which has led to the disappearance of many traditionalofficial names such as Songjiang, Jiangning Prefecture, Qingzhou, Chenzhou,Guide, and Fengyang. These are very famous place names in history and havenot yet become municipal names. "Abandoned officials staying in thecounty" has not only led to the disappearance of many government names,but also to the many different names of Guofu County. In ancient China,counties without independent counties had administrative offices attached tothe city walls of higher administrative regions (government, state, county,army, etc.). ) Is called Guo Fu County (also known as Guo YiCounty). It can be said that what the original name of Guofu County is,but the actual situation is various.

First, the original government of Fushan Guo County directly used the placenames of Fu Guo County and abolished the government name. Following theabolition of the government by the Ningbo government in Zhejiang, Guofu Countywas directly named as She County. Many single Fuguo county governmentsalso use this method, such as the state government of Zhejiang (LanshuiCounty), the Luzhou government of Anhui (Hefei County), the Jinan government ofShandong (Licheng County), the Dongchang government (Liaocheng County), and TheQingzhou government (Yidu County) directly uses the county name of FuguoCounty.

The second is to use a place name in Guofu County and cancel the governmentname. This method of naming geographical names usually appears in thegovernment where Shuangfuguo County or Sanfuguo County is located. Inancient China, two or three county governments were affiliated to cities inhigher administrative regions. These counties are called ShuangfuguoCounty or Sanfuguo County, respectively. Jiangning Prefecture hasJiangning County and Shangyuan County as two supplementary counties. JiangningCounty was merged and used. The Kaifeng government is affiliated toChang'an and Xianning counties. After the merger, Chang'an County wasused. Suzhou has three subordinate counties, Wu County, Changzhou County,Yuan County and He County. The name of Wuxian was used after the merger ofthe three counties.

1925 The Atlas of the Republic of China Shanghai Haitao and Su Changtao

canceled the name of the county attached to Guo and adopted the county name asthe county name. After the abolition of Songjiang Prefecture, Lou Countymerged with Guoting's Huating County into one county. The name of thecounty is Songjiang, which was the original name of the government. HuijiCounty and Shanyin County of Shaoxing area merged into Shaoxing County. HangzhouGuofu County is Q.

If it is said that the "abandoned government protection county" wasthe cause of the later "county and city with the same name", the"division of the city" directly led to the county and city with thesame name. In ancient China, it has always been a regional administrativeregion. It is an administrative division of national territory, regardlessof urban and rural areas. Although there were big cities in ancient times,there was never an urban political area. The urban administrative areaseparates the city from the sequence of regional administrative areas, andestablishes a separate administrative area in the city, commonly known as"building cities by blocks". Since the end of the Qing Dynasty,"divided cities" has been the product of social and economicdevelopment affected by Western market systems. The jurisdiction of theoriginal urban-type administrative area was very small, mainly concentrated incities and suburbs. This is because the original city was just a common namefor a purely urban area. However, contemporary cities are just a mixtureof urban and rural areas, and even a common name for a political districtdominated by rural areas.

Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the autonomy movement and the development ofthe urban economy have laid a social foundation for the emergence of urbaninstitutions. In 1912, Jiangsu Province said that the town where thecounty government is located and the town with a population of more than50,000. This is the bud of China's urban political district. In 1926,the Beiyang government officially established the special cities of Kyoto (nowBeijing) and Qingdao. They are the earliest urban administrative regionsin China. After the establishment of the

Kyoto Municipal Office

National Government, China gradually moved from "urban and ruralgovernance" to "separation of urban and rural areas", and manycities were established during this period. On May 7, 1927, the 89thCentral Political Conference of the Kuomintang announced the "Republic ofChina Atlas", which designated Shanghai as a municipality directly underthe Central Government, which was outside the administrative scope of provincesand counties. This is China's first municipality. The emergence ofmunicipalities, together with Guangzhou and other provincial capitalspreviously established by Guangdong Province, has formed China's urban regionalsystem.

In 1948, Shanghai Province and Shanghai County, Jiangsu Province.

In June 1928, the 145th Central Political Conference of the Kuomintang adoptedthe Atlas of the Republic of China and the China Post Atlas, which officiallydivided the city into special cities and provincial capitals. Specialcities need to meet one of three conditions: the capital of the Republic of China,cities with a population of more than one million, and other cities withspecial circumstances. Nanjing, Shanghai, Peiping, Tianjin, Qingdao,Hankou and Guangzhou were successively established. Provincial cities needto meet the needs of more than 200,000 people. According to theregulations of the "Shanghai Special City Interim Regulations", theyare transferred to the provincial government and are not a priority. By1930, cities such as Suzhou, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Anqing, Nanchang, Wuchang,Kaifeng, and Jinan had successively become provincial capitals.

These provincial capital cities are usually established by
