In the past, there were two management systems, Hengshui City.

and Shenzhou City, Jizhou City are the same level, and later the prefecture and city were merged, and the counties and cities under the jurisdiction of Hengshui District were all under the management of Hengshui City.

History

The earliest ethnic group in Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture was the Cypriots.

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the rise of the Xiongnu forced the Dayue clan to move west to the Ili River Valley, and the king of Sai moved south. Around the fourth year of the Later Yuan Dynasty (160 BC), Wusun moved westward to the Ili River Valley and other places to establish the Wusun Kingdom. Around the first year of Yuanfeng (110 BC), the Han Dynasty formed an alliance with Wusun.

In 60 BC, the Han Dynasty set up the Western Regions Protectorate in Xinjiang to manage Wusun and other countries, and Ili and other places were officially incorporated into the Chinese territory. In the middle of the 6th century, Altai, Tacheng and the Ili River Valley were Turkic lands.

In the third year of Tang Xianqing (658), the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Western Turks and placed Kunling and Mengchi to protect the capital, and Yili and other places were returned to the Tang Dynasty.

During the Song Dynasty, Tacheng and Ili were the western Liao. In the twelfth year of Jiading (1219), Genghis Khan destroyed Western Liao and returned to Mengyuan.
