What city was Hohhot called before?

Hohhot and Datong have a long history. The "Yunzhong County" in the Warring States and Han Dynasties was in Tuoketuo County, Hohhot, and the "Yunzhong" in the Sui and Tang Dynasties referred to Datong. Datong was once known as "Yunnei" in history, but in the Yuan Dynasty, Yunnei was located in the southwest suburb of Hohhot.

The following briefly describes the relationship between Hohhot and Datong since the Liao Dynasty:

During the Liao, Jin and Yuan Dynasties, Hohhot was called Fengzhou and belonged to Xijing Road (Datong Road).

In the twenty-second year of Zhu Yuanzhang's Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army abandoned Dongsheng Wei (now Tuoketuo County, Hohhot) under the command of Datong Corporation, and Hohhot was isolated from Datong along the Great Wall for two or three hundred years.

Before the Qing Dynasty 1723, Hohhot was the Guibei Camp under Datong Corporation.

From 1723 to 1729, it was upgraded from Beiying to Guihua Town Hall, which belongs to Datong area of Shanxi Province.

1729, Datong Prefecture was divided into two parts, the eastern part was still Datong Prefecture, and the western part was called Shuoping Prefecture (now Youyu County, Shuozhou), so Hohhot (naturalized) was placed under Shuoping Prefecture;

174 1 year, Hushi (Guihua City Hall) was upgraded to Shanxi Governor's Zhili Hall, which was at the same level as Datong and Shuoping, and became the moral place of Guisui, Shanxi, which governed the "North Twelve Hall" of the Great Wall, and became the four cities with the highest political status in Shanxi at that time (Jining Road-Taiyuan, Yanping Road-Daizhou,

However, at this time, Hohhot was under the jurisdiction of Shanxi, and on the other hand, General Suiyuan, a subordinate official in Suiyuan City, a new city in Hohhot, was in charge of Datong and Xuanhua Company commanders, and even instructed the Shanxi Governor, a second-class official, in wartime. Therefore, it can be regarded as a balance of power in order to better deal with the threat of Galdin;

In 1888, Fengzhen Guild Hall (Fengzhen, Jining, etc. ) in Datong and Ningyuan Hall (Liangcheng, Zhuozi, etc. ) included in Guisui Road, under the jurisdiction of Hohhot.

19 13 At the end of the year, the Beiyang government decided to "divide Jin and Sui". Since then, Guisui Road has been separated from Shanxi to build Suiyuan Province, and Hohhot (Guisui) has become the capital of Suiyuan Province.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the puppet Mongolian New Coalition Government was established, and Guisui (Hohhot) was renamed Houhe Haote, and it was in a puppet administrative region with Zhangjiakou and Datong (the yamen in the north of Shanxi), when the puppet capital was in Zhangjiakou.

After the Anti-Japanese War, Suiyuan and Chahar resumed their provinces, and Datong also returned to Shanxi.

After liberation, Zhangjiakou, the capital of Chahar Province, was the acting capital of Inner Mongolia for two or three years (1950- 1952, at this time Suiyuan was not incorporated into Inner Mongolia), and Datong was also included in Chahar Province.

1952, the acting capital of Inner Mongolia moved to Guisui (Hohhot), but Suiyuan Province was not abolished, and Hohhot remained the capital of Suiyuan Province; However, after the Inner Mongolia government moved out of Zhangjiakou, Chahar Province was dismembered, Zhangjiakou City, Xuanhua City and Zhangbei District of Chahar Province were merged into Hebei Province, Datong City was merged into Shanxi Province, and the rest were owned by Inner Mongolia.

At the end of 1954, Suiyuan province was completely abolished, that is, "Mengsui merged", and Guisui was renamed Hohhot.

Since then, Datong, Zhangjiakou and Hohhot, which were integrated into the local culture, have been incorporated into the three provinces, and later Xuanhua was incorporated into Zhangjiakou, and Wulanchabu League (Jining) was established in Suidong, forming today's administrative structure.
