Is Dalian a regional city?

Human society in Dalian has a history of at least 17,000 years. From the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, it belonged to Liaodong County. Han set up Ta. The Tang Dynasty belonged to the Andong Protectorate. Liao established Su and Fuzhou. Jin changed Suzhou to Jinzhou. In the Yuan Dynasty, Jin Fuzhou Wanhu Mansion was established. The Jinzhou Guard was established. The Jinzhou Hall was established.

In the 19th century, this was still a small fishing village called Qingniwa. 100 years ago, the Russians founded this city and named it "Dalini", which means a distant city, a place far away from Moscow and St. Petersburg. At the end of 1895, the Japanese army invaded and occupied Chinese territory and harmed the interests of other imperialists. With the intervention of Russia, Germany, France and other countries, the Qing government bought back the Liaodong Peninsula from Japan for 30 million taels of silver. After that, Tsarist Russia bribed Li Hongzhang heavily with 1 million taels of silver, and signed the "Tournament Land Lease Treaty" on March 27, 1898. During the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, the Dalian area was the main battlefield and was occupied by Russian and Japanese imperialists for nearly fifty years. Beginning in 1898, Russia and Japan established Dalian City in the Qingniwa area on the south coast of Dalian Bay.

There are many origins of the name Dalian. One is: at the end of the 20th century, the Japanese occupied the city and transliterated "Dalini" to become "Dalian" in Chinese; second, Dalian Most of them are immigrants from Shandong. There is a very popular thing in Shandong called 衡袢, which is pronounced the same as Dalian. Thirdly, there are many small islands off the coast of Dalian, which look like they are strung together by chains. The locals call them chain islands. On August 15, 1945, Japan surrendered and Dalian was liberated on the same day. It became the earliest liberated city in the country and Luda City was established at the same time. From March 12, 1953 to July 31, 1954 after the founding of New China, Luda City was a municipality directly under the central government. In 1981, it was renamed Dalian City. Today, Dalian has developed into an important port, industry, trade and tourism city in northern China. From 1984 to 1985, the Chinese government successively approved Dalian as an open coastal city and a city with separate planned status, and granted provincial-level economic management authority.
