Wuhan has a long history. According to archaeological excavations and ancient book records, ancestors lived and multiplied here as far back as 5,000 years ago. The Panlong City ruins in Huangpi District on the outskirts of the city were the capital of the Fang Kingdom of the Shang Dynasty 3,500 years ago. It is well preserved and is the only ancient city of the Shang Dynasty discovered so far in the Yangtze River Basin. It belonged to the State of E in the early Zhou Dynasty, Nanjun in the Qin Dynasty, and Jiangxia County in the Western Han Dynasty. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jiangbei successively established Chuanyang County (AD 25), Shiyang County (Three Kingdoms period), Quyang County (AD 280), Quling County (AD 305), Hanjin County (AD 597), Hanyang County County (606 AD). Jiangnan successively established Shaxian County (25 AD), Runan County (378 AD), and Jiangxia County (589 AD). The name Wuchang originated from when Sun Quan made E city his capital and changed its name to Wuchang, which means "prosperity due to martial arts". In the first year of Taikang in the Jin Dynasty (AD 280), Jiangxia County was changed to Wuchang County, and its administrative location was Jiangxia County, which is now Wuchang City. There is Hanyang in the north of the Yangtze River, so it is called the "Twin Cities" (a poem by Yu Que, a poet of the Yuan Dynasty). The word "Wuhan" appeared in "Reconstruction of Qingchuan Pavilion" in the Ming Dynasty. By the Qing Dynasty, Zeng Guofan, Hu Linyi and others often used it in their letters. Since the Ming Dynasty, Xiakou Town, which belongs to Hanyang County, has developed commerce and has become the first of the four famous towns in the country. It is also known as "the most prosperous place in central Chu". Therefore, the two cities evolved into three towns, which is also called "Wuyang Xia". In 1898, Zhang Zhidong petitioned for approval to divide Yang and Xia. In 1899, Xiakou was separated from Hanyang County and Xiakou Hall was established. Xiakou began to have a county system in the first year of the Republic of China (1912). However, citizens are accustomed to calling Xiakou Hankou, so the name "Wuhan" naturally became the collective name of the three towns, because Wuchang, Hanyang, and Hankou all have one word in it. In October 1926, after the National Revolutionary Army captured Wuhan, they successively established the Hankou Municipal Committee, Wuchang City Hall and Hanyang Municipal Committee. In December, the Provisional Joint Meeting of the National Government Members of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang announced that "the national capital will be established with Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang" The three cities formed a large area as the "Jingzhao District" and was named Wuhan. On May 24, 1949, the Wuhan Municipal People's Government was formally established. During the Three Kingdoms period, Wuhan was the site of fierce battles between Wei, Shu and Wu. In the 11th year of the Xianfeng reign of the Qing Dynasty (1861 AD), Hankou was officially opened to foreign trade. By 1889, five countries, Britain, Germany, Russia, France and Japan, had successively opened concessions in Hankou. In the fifteenth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1889 AD), Zhang Zhidong served as the governor of Huguang, founded modern factories, built new schools, and built railways. On October 10, 1911, the Wuchang Revolution of 1911 overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty and ended China's two thousand years of feudal monarchy. In the summer of 1921, Dong Biwu and Chen Tanqiu participated in the First Congress of the Communist Party of China as representatives of the Wuhan Communist Group. On February 4, 1923, Beijing-Hankow Railway workers went on strike, and Wuhan Jiang'an Station became the location of the strike headquarters. After the strike failed on February 7, labor movement leaders such as Lin Xiangqian and Shi Yang died in Han. In December 1926, the National Government moved from Guangzhou to Wuhan. On February 7, 1927, the Wuchang Central Peasant Movement Institute was opened, chaired by Mao Zedong. Yun Daiying, Qu Qiubai, Li Lisan, etc. all came to teach at the school. On February 19, 1927, the Wuhan National Government took back the British concessions in Hankou and Jiujiang. The Anti-Japanese War broke out in July 1937 and after the fall of Nanjing in December, Wuhan once became the command center of the all-out war of resistance. The Nationalist Government organized a large-scale Wuhan Defense War around Wuhan. Wuhan fell in October 1938, and the Anti-Japanese War entered a stage of strategic stalemate. In August 1945, Japan surrendered and Wuhan was liberated. On May 16, 1949, Wuhan was liberated. Historical evolution Wuhan has a long history.

Historical Figures As "the main thoroughfare of nine provinces", Wuhan is home to a vast array of talented people. Since ancient times, the footprints of sages such as Sun Quan who built the city in Jiangxia, Yue Fei who stationed troops in Wuchang, and Cui Hao who wrote poems on the Yellow Crane Tower have been passed down through the ages. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Xiong Tingbi, the commander-in-chief of the Later Jin Dynasty, built river embankments to benefit the people. Especially after entering modern history, Wuhan, the first place of Xinhai, produced a number of revolutionary patriots such as Liu Jing'an, Huang Xing, Sun Wu, Jiang Yiwu; Zhang Zhidong established factories in Hubei, creating a leading modern industry in China and even East Asia; specific soil , has cultivated a large number of cultural celebrities, such as: historical geographer Yang Shoujing, geologist Li Siguang, writer Wen Yiduo, philosopher Xiong Shili and so on. The three great men of this century: Sun Yat-sen, Mao Zedong, and Deng Xiaoping all visited Wuhan more than once and left glorious chapters in history books. Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the pioneer of China's bourgeois democratic revolution, came to Han twice in 1894 and 1912. He spoke highly of Wuhan, the capital of the Revolution of 1911, as "Wuhan was called out, and the world responded" and "Wuhan was the first to contribute to the founding of the Republic of China." In his masterpieces such as "The Strategy for the Founding of the People's Republic of China", he made special construction plans for Wuhan. The great leader Mao Zedong once left historical footprints at the Wuchang Agricultural Lecture Center, the "August 7th" meeting site, and the East Lake Plum Garden; his poems and poems such as "A bridge flies over the north and south, and the natural chasm becomes a thoroughfare" are reflected in Weijiang City; 17 times in Han Dynasty The practice of swimming in the Yangtze River has deeply inspired the people of Wuhan to move forward bravely. In order to accelerate China's reform and opening up, the proletarian revolutionary Deng Xiaoping arrived in Wuhan at the first stop of his southern tour in early 1992. He issued the famous conclusion that "development is the last word", ushering in another spring of China's reform and opening up. After years of socialist construction after the founding of the People's Republic of China and the heroic pace of reform and opening up, Wuhan has become an important comprehensive industrial town, commodity trade center, transportation hub, and education and scientific research base in central my country. The face of the city is changing with each passing day, and the famous cultural city is becoming more dynamic. In this cross-century transition, Wuhan people are forging ahead with determination and creating greater glory with the courage of reformers and the courage of innovators. We are united to build Wuhan into China's three major industrial bases of steel, automobiles, and high-tech and five major gathering centers of finance, circulation, transportation, information, and science and education, and to shape and fully demonstrate the radiant style of an open, multi-functional, and modern international city. struggle. Wuhan's urban civilization can be traced back to Panlong City 3,500 years ago. Panlong City is located in what is now Huangpi County. It is the first Shang Dynasty ancient city discovered in the Yangtze River Basin. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Wuhan area was subordinate to the Chu State for a long time, and Chu culture became the source of today's Wuhan culture. Because of its superior geographical location and convenient water transportation, Wuhan has always been a commercial and trade center and a battleground for military strategists. Hankou in the 18th century was one of the four famous towns in China. After its opening in 1861, Hankou became the largest trading port in inland China at that time. In 1911, the first shot of the Revolution of 1911 was fired over Wuchang City, thus ending more than 2,000 years of feudal imperial rule in China and opening a new page in Chinese history.
