What are administrative divisions and how are administrative divisions divided

Generally speaking, administrative divisions are marked by the different levels of political power established in different regions to fully realize the smooth performance of various functions of local state institutions. The level of administrative division is related to factors such as the pattern of local relations in a country, the size of the land area, and the relationship between the public and the public.

China's administrative regions are generally divided into the following three levels: First, provincial-level administrative divisions, that is, provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government.

Administrative divisions arise with the creation of states. The division of administrative regions according to geography rather than tribes according to clan is an essential feature of the state that distinguishes it from clan organization. Regardless of the type of state, the division of administrative regions must always conform to the fundamental interests of the ruling class, and at the same time take into account political, economic, cultural, ethnic, geographical, demographic, national defense, historical traditions, and other factors.

With the development of the productive forces of modern society, economic factors play an important role. In capitalist countries, the division of administrative regions is intended to consolidate the power of the bourgeoisie, to facilitate the domination of the working people and to divide the minorities.

Although administrative divisions have distinct class characteristics due to the different nature of the country, they also have a certain historical continuity. Since the implementation of the county system in China during the Qin Dynasty (221 BC to 206 BC), although the administrative divisions of successive dynasties have changed, the changes have not been significant.
