Why were Suiyuan and Jehol provinces cancelled?

Reasons for revoking Suiyuan Province and Jehol Province:

1. In order to achieve ethnic equality, unite ethnic minorities, appease the newly liberated people in Inner Mongolia, and support ethnic autonomy, the new China government intends to expand the Inner Mongolia region, incorporating all grasslands in the west of Chahar, Suiyuan and Jehol provinces into Inner Mongolia, Hulunbeier and Heilongjiang into Inner Mongolia, and the desert areas originally belonging to Ningxia and northern Gansu into Inner Mongolia.

2. After the founding of New China, it faced a thorny political problem, that is, Northeast China and North China were branded too deeply by the Kuomintang government and Japan. One of the manifestations is that there are Jehol, Suiyuan and Chahar in the administrative division, which erased the imprint of the Republic of China.

3. Because there are no big cities in Rehe and Suiyuan, and there are no big cities with economic centers, the population is sparse, which is not conducive to economic development. Jehol has a population of more than 6 million, and Suiyuan has a population of only over 2 million, which is really far from Henan, Shandong and other provinces.

Extended data:

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Ulanhu, the ethnic leader of Inner Mongolia, actively ran around and established the first ethnic autonomous region-Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on May 1947 with the support of the China Production Party.

After the founding of New China, Ulanhu was supported by Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou, and made continuous efforts to restore the traditional territory of Inner Mongolia. With the full support of the central government, the eastern and western parts of Inner Mongolia gradually merged, and the four provinces beyond the Great Wall were gradually "annexed" by Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

1On April 23rd, 947, the Inner Mongolia People's Congress was held in Wulanhaote, and 393 representatives from most Mongolian, Daur, Ewenki, Han, Manchu, Hui and North Korea in Inner Mongolia attended the meeting. The meeting passed a resolution to establish the government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, including Chahar Province, Xing 'an Province and parts of Ningxia Province, Jehol Province, Heilongjiang Province and Suiyuan Province.

The meeting decided that May 1 day every year is the anniversary of the establishment of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region government. 1949110 In October, with the approval of Premier Zhou Enlai of the State Council of the Central People's Government, the autonomous government moved to Zhangjiakou. Zhangjiakou will be transferred to Hebei Province in June1952165438+10. 1954, the people's government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region moved to Qiuci, renamed Hohhot, and designated it as the capital of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. In the same year, Ningxia Province was abolished and merged into Gansu Province.

1955, Jehol province was abolished. Chifeng, wudan and Ningcheng counties, Aohan Banner, Harqin Banner and Wengniute Banner (the former Mongolian Autonomous Banner of Wengniute Banner was changed into a subordinate) were placed under Zhaowuda League of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
