Why is Baotou not the capital of Inner Mongolia?

The Yinshan area in Hohhot has a long history of ancient human activities. 1973 The "Dayao Culture" discovered 500,000 years ago in the northeast of Hohhot occurred in the early and late Paleolithic period together with Beijingers in Zhoukoudian, Beijing.

Before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, northern nomads such as Xiongnu, Hu Lin and Loufan lived a nomadic life in Hohhot today. During the Warring States Period, King Wuling of Zhao promoted "Khufu riding and shooting", defeated two nomadic peoples, Hu Lin and Loufan, and built the site of Yunzhong City Site in Tuoketuo County, Hohhot. China people in the Central Plains began to settle in Hohhot. The "Zhao Great Wall" passes through Daqing Mountain in the north of Hohhot.

Before 22 1, Qin Shihuang unified China and established 36 counties, including Yunzhong County near Hohhot. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the cloud was an outpost to guard against Xiongnu, and it was also one of the bases for expedition to Xiongnu. "Le Sheng" in the Northern Wei Dynasty and "Fengzhou" in the Liao Dynasty are also here.

After the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown by the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols retreated to the Great Wall and established the Northern Yuan regime. 1572, alatan Khan, the leader of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, led the Tumote Department to live in Hohhot and built the "Kuku and Tun" city in Yuquan District. Since then, the Tumote Department has transitioned from nomadic grassland to settled life. Hohhot is a "blue city" in Mongolian, in which Huhe means blue and Haote means city and city. This name first appeared in the Mongolian biography of Anda Khan, which records: "The famous holy Lord Anda Khan, in the Year of the Monkey (Tibetan calendar, that is, six years of the Dragon, 1572), gathered unparalleled craftsmen to imitate the lost metropolis, and built eight buildings and pavilions on both sides of the Ha Ci Wu Na Yang and the Ha Tun River." Ha Ci Wu Na ",Mongolian for Montenegro, was also called" Harongwu ","Karangwu "and" Mokala "in Ming and Qing Dynasties, which is now Daqingshan. "Hatun River" is the Wuli Shahe River flowing down from Wusitou Valley in the northwest of Hohhot, that is, "Zhada Haihe River" in Suiyuan Tongzhi Draft. The name of Hohhot in the Biography of Anda Khan is the earliest record so far. The Ming government approved the "naturalization" of China people's names during the Wanli period, aiming at making ethnic minorities obey, unify and obey the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

From the 13th year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (1735) to the 4th year of Qianlong, a new military garrison city was built, which was named Suiyuan City (i.e. New City), and then Guihua and Suiyuan were merged into Guihua County.

19 13, the national government changed its name to Guisui County, 1950, Guisui City was established in People's Republic of China (PRC), and 1954, the People's Government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region moved here and established Hohhot as the capital of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Baotou:

Baotou City is located in the middle of Inner Mongolia, north of the Yellow River, with Hetao Plain in the west and Mo Chuan Plain in the east. It has been a famous city beyond the Great Wall since ancient times.

The origin of Baotou place name is the transliteration of Mongolian "Baoketu", which means "where there are deer". On the other hand, it used to be the largest fur distribution center in the western regions, known as the flood and drought wharf, also known as Botou, and gradually evolved into Baotou with the passage of time.

Baotou belongs to the semi-arid mid-temperate continental monsoon climate. Summer and autumn are the best seasons in Baotou. It is an ideal summer resort with cool breeze, flowers, fruits and vegetables. In winter and spring, the ice and snow are frozen and wrapped in silver, which has unique northland characteristics.

The history of Baotou can be traced back to the Neolithic Age 6000 years ago. It is the intersection of grassland civilization in Eurasia and agricultural civilization in the Yellow River basin, and its historical and cultural remains are very rich. The population of the city is 2.03 million, and the population of ethnic minorities accounts for 6.5438+0.2 million. Baotou is not only an important iron and steel industrial base and rare earth industrial base in China, but also an "excellent tourist city in China" with its unique tourism resources.

The broadcast of Joe affirmed the relationship between Lao Baotou and Shanxi merchants. Baotou is an immigrant city. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, due to war and famine, a large number of immigrants exported to make a living. With the development of "westward" phenomenon, a large number of Shanxi merchants poured into Baotou. Qiao Guifa came to Qianlong for two years and opened a forage shop in front of Xin 'aobao, selling bean sprouts, tofu and forage for a living. Objectively speaking, managing forage is the main reason for Qiao Guifa's prosperity. Qiao Guifa gave birth to three sons, of which Joe America was the third. He inherited Qiao Guifa's legacy and created the name of "Fu Sheng" in Baotou. Joe America gave birth to two more sons, the second one, Qiao Zhiyong, who is the owner of the Qiao Family Courtyard in nave today. "The government comes first, then Baotou City" is a full affirmation of the influence of Shanxi merchants on the development of Baotou. The statement that Fu came first and Guihua City came later is inconsistent with historical facts, because Guihua City only exists in People's Republic of China (PRC), and "Xikou" refers to killing the tiger's mouth, while Baotou City only has walls in Tongzhi 13.

Qiao Zhiyong created the heyday of Joe's industry. Qiao Zhiyong was born in Jiaqing period, namely 18 18. In the 20th year of Qianlong (AD 1755), Qiao Guifa moved to Dongmen Street in Donghe District and opened Guangsheng Palace, which is equivalent to the present warehouse. Textual research on the 23rd year of Jiaqing (A.D. 18 18). There is a large-scale "Fuzihao" store in Baotou. When the Opium War broke out in Daoguang (1840), there was a commercial situation of plundering China's fur. A large number of furs were shipped to capitalist countries, and more than 30 foreign companies rushed to Baotou to buy furs. The jstars adapted to the needs of development and began to make a fortune. 1850 The Yellow River was diverted, and the Yellow River ferry was moved to Nanhaizi in Donghe District. The northwest fur and Hetao grain all passed through the flood and drought wharf of "Old Baotou", and the career of the Qiao family reached its peak, which promoted the prosperity of the whole northwest. This is inseparable from Qiao Zhiyong's profound thought of Shanxi merchants. At that time, the two pillar industries of Baotou, fur and grain, showed the glory of Donghe District. With the development of jstars' career.
