As for the pattern of Zhaotong 1 1 districts and counties, it has undergone several stages of change. As we all know, China's provincial system appeared in the Yuan Dynasty. After hundreds of years of constant adjustment and improvement in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the basic framework of various provinces has gradually formed. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, due to the actual needs of changing land into streams, Yunnan Province and its neighboring provinces were adjusted, and Zhaotong and Dongchuan were incorporated into Yunnan Province, forming the basic divisions of Yunnan Province.
Zhaotong House was formerly Wumeng House. After being incorporated into Yunnan Province, in view of "Wumeng is a obscure person, it is easy to make it clear that it was dark before; People who have been cheated in the past are easy to communicate. " Subsequently, Wumeng House was renamed Zhaotong House, which was the predecessor of Zhaotong prefecture-level city. Yunnan province has complex terrain structure and inconvenient transportation, plus the control of toast in some areas. In the process of regionalization, the number of state capitals under the jurisdiction of Yunnan Province is much higher than that of other provinces in the Central Plains.
It has divided a series of state capitals such as Yunnan, Wuding, Dali, Heqing, Lijiang, Yongbei, Pu 'er, Qujing, Zhaotong, Chengjiang, Guangnan, Dongchuan, Hua Kai, Lin 'an, Yuanjiang and Zhenyuan in Guangxi. Among them, Zhaotong has two scattered halls and three counties, namely: Daguantang, Ludiantang, En 'an County, Yongshan County and Jingjiang County. 19 12 years. After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, which ruled for more than 200 years, China entered a complex stage of warlord melee.
Due to the mutual attacks of warlords and the cruel oppression of bandits in some areas, the economy in various parts of Yunnan has been greatly damaged, and people's lives are very bitter. During the Anti-Japanese War, Yunnan Province, as the rear area of the Anti-Japanese War, transported a lot of food, materials and youth and made great contributions. In a blink of an eye, at the beginning of the founding of New China, with the basic end of large-scale war, China entered the stage of post-war reconstruction, production recovery and development and construction. At that time, Yunnan Province established a series of prefecture-level cities and special zones.
After the establishment of Zhaotong Special Zone, it governs 1 1 counties, namely Zhaotong County, Daguan County, Suijiang County, Yanjin County, Weixin County, Zhenxiong County, yiliang county County, Ludian County, Huize County, Qiaojia County and Yongshan County. After this pattern was formed, it lasted for 10 years. 1964, Huize county in Zhaotong area was merged into Qujing area due to actual needs. The zoning pattern of Zhaotong area was adjusted to 10 county.
At the end of 1960s, all regions in China were reorganized into regions, and Zhaotong region was renamed Zhaotong region, and its jurisdiction remained unchanged. During the period of 1974, during the adjustment of Yunnan and Sichuan divisions, some towns and villages in Yibin County, Sichuan Province were included in the management of Zhaotong District, Yunnan Province. On the basis of these towns, Zhaotong established water-rich areas (county level). At the end of 1970s, China's economy entered a period of sustained and high-speed development. In order to meet the needs of development, various regions under the jurisdiction of various provinces in China have made various adjustments.
198 1 based on some towns and villages in Zhaotong county, Zhaotong county-level city was established in Zhaotong area. In the same year, the water-rich area in Zhaotong area was renamed Shuifu County. Up to now, Zhaotong has administered 1 county-level cities and1/county. 1983 Zhaotong county was revoked, and the original towns and villages were merged into Zhaotong county-level urban management. Zhaotong area is divided into 1 county-level city and1county. For various reasons, the establishment of prefecture-level cities in Zhaotong area is relatively late.
In 200 1 year, Zhaotong area was abolished and Zhaotong prefecture-level city was established. Zhaotong county-level city was abolished and Zhaoyang District was established. Together with the peripheral 10 counties, there are 1 1 districts and counties. After entering the 2 1 century, Zhaotong city has developed rapidly. In 20 18, Shuifu County under Zhaotong City was abolished and Shuifu county-level city was established. Up to now, the zoning pattern of Zhaotong city 1 district, 1 county-level city and 9 counties has been fully formed.
Of course, after entering the 2 1 century, Zhaotong city has set up several new districts, such as economic development zone, high-tech zone, northern new district and Jing 'an new district, for the needs of actual development. However, these new areas belong to functional areas, and the situation is special, so they are generally not counted.
