Guangdong, referred to as "Guangdong" for short, is a provincial administrative region of People's Republic of China (PRC), with Guangzhou as the capital. Because the East generally believes in ancient place names, it was named "Guangdong". Located in the south of Nanling and on the coast of the South China Sea, it borders Hong Kong, Macao, Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi and Fujian, and faces Hainan across the sea.
Historical evolution:
In the Western Jin Dynasty, the hinterland of Guangdong Province belonged to Guangzhou, northern Guangdong belonged to Jingzhou, and Leizhou Peninsula and Hainan Island belonged to Jiaozhou. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the political situation in China was divided between the North and the South. Most of the newly added states, counties and counties are concentrated in western Guangdong and northern Guangdong, and few in eastern Guangdong.
Because the agricultural economy in eastern Guangdong is not as developed as that in western Guangdong, and the transportation is not as convenient as that in western Guangdong. At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, Guangzhou and Zhou Xun (now Huizhou) were appointed as the Governor's Office to administer the whole country. Yang Di abolished the state as a county and changed it to two levels, namely, county and county, and greatly increased the number of provinces. Today, Guangdong province belongs to 10 county and 74 counties.
