The origin of Jiamusi

Jiamusi was established as a town in 1888. It was originally named Dongxing Town and was first called Jiamusi in the late Qing Dynasty. In 1937, part of the administrative region of Huachuan County was analyzed and Jiamusi City was established. As early as the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, this place was under the jurisdiction of the deputy capital of the three surnames. During the Guangxu period, it was renamed Yilan Prefecture. By the end of the Guangxu period, Jiamusi had become a small town with more than a hundred households. In the first year of Xuantong (1909), the governor of Huachuan was sent to Jiamusi to take charge of administrative affairs. In the second year of the Republic of China (1913), due to floods, the county seat was moved to Yuelai Town, and the county governor was set up here. Since the fifth year of the Republic of China (1916), with the development of the Hegang Coal Mine and the Wutong River Gold Mine, Jiamusi has developed rapidly. After the September 18th Incident, Japanese imperialism invaded and established the puppet Manchukuo, and Japanese armed immigrants settled here. On December 1, the first year of Kant (1934), after the puppet Manchukuo was transformed into an imperial system, local administrative structure reforms were implemented and the Sanjiang Provincial Office was established. Jiamusi became the seat of the Sanjiang Provincial Office. At the same time, the Huachuan County Office was again moved to Since then, this place has become the political center of the province and county. Jiamusi's superior geographical location made it not only the political center at that time, but also an economic center and a hub of waterway transportation. With the successive construction of various institutional facilities, Jiamusi has begun to take shape as a city. In September of the fourth year of Kant (1937), the Jiamusi City Preparatory Office was set up in the Sanjiang Provincial Office. On December 1 of the same year, after the extraterritoriality was revoked, Jiamusi City was officially established. In the thirty-fourth year of the Republic of China (1945), Northeast China was recovered. On June 5, the 36th year of the Republic of China (1947), a new provincial plan was announced to change Northeast China into nine provinces, which would make Sanjiang a puppet province. The two provinces of Dong'an were merged into Hejiang Province, and Jiamusi City was the capital of Hejiang Province. After the liberation of the country, the three eastern provinces were restored, and Jiamusi City was affiliated to Heilongjiang Province and was a county-level city.
