In October 1949, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were 62 cities, and by November 1950, the number had increased to 80, and then to 86. It was not until January 1955 that the People's Committee officially decided to fix the establishment of cities in various localities in the form of law.

For the first time in the history of our country, the national standards for the establishment of cities were promulgated in the form of laws and regulations, and it was truly determined that the establishment of cities belonged to the first power, and the document stipulated:

1. Municipalities directly under the Central Government. All cities with a population of more than one million and cities that are politically, economically and culturally important are designated as municipalities directly under the Central Government.

2. Provincial municipalities. All cities with a population of more than 500,000 and other than those that do not fall under the above-mentioned provisions shall be established as municipalities under the jurisdiction of provinces.

3. County-level cities. Where there is no town for industrial and commercial development and the population is less than 200,000, county-level cities and city systems may be established.

At present, China's organized cities include: sub-provincial-level cities, county-level cities, prefecture-level cities, and municipalities directly under the Central Government.

"Organized cities" belong to the concept of administrative divisions, belong to the form of a surface, foreign cities are divided into cities and autonomous cities, China's cities are divided into municipalities directly under the central government, sub-provincial cities, cities with separate planning, provincial municipalities, prefecture-level cities, county-level cities, etc., before the liberation and in China's current Taiwan Province there are also county-administered municipalities.

Since the reform and opening up, Chunliang's small and medium-sized cities in China have developed rapidly, and the number of cities has grown faster than that of large cities. According to the original grouping standard, the number of large cities in the country was 45 in 1980 and 93 in 2000, an increase of several times; The number of medium-sized cities has doubled from 70 to 218; The number of small cities (excluding towns) has doubled from 108 to 352.

With the advancement of urbanization in China, a number of qualified medium-sized cities will grow into large cities, a number of qualified small cities will become medium-sized cities or large cities, and similarly, more qualified cities and towns will become small and medium-sized cities. The role of small cities in China's economic and social development and urbanization process will become increasingly prominent.

Setting standards for cities and towns at home and abroad

The setting standards of cities (towns) are a very important part of the municipal system. The United Nations has proposed that settlements of more than 2,000 people be designated as towns. However, due to the different national conditions of different countries, there is no universal standard for the setting of "towns".

Moreover, even within the same country, the size of the towns in the Zheng period will vary from time to time.

This has increased the difficulty of researching the standards set by towns to a considerable extent. However, as an urbanized area with a high degree of population and economic prosperity, cities and towns are still significantly different from rural areas.

Generally speaking, the setting of cities and towns usually needs to consider the size of the area and the size of the population first, and once the size of the area and the size of the population are determined, the population density will also be determined. At the same time, it is also necessary to take into account the factors of political function, economic function, urban landscape and so on. This is typical in mainland China.

Summary. The name of the administrative division unit in China was the earliest in China, which began in the early Spring and Autumn Period, and was originally set up in the border areas with a national defense role. According to the existing documents, the first county was established by the Qin State.

Historical Records of Qin Benji" said: In the tenth year of Wugong (688 BC), "Cutting down Tai, Jirong, and the beginning of the county"; In the eleventh year of Wugong (687 BC), "Chu County Du, Zheng". That is to say, at the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin Wugong first set up Tai County (now Qinzhou District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province) and Ji County (now Gangu County, Tianshui City, Gansu Province) in the newly opened territory, which has a history of more than 2,700 years.

The first place in China to establish a county.

Hello, I am helping you with related questions and will reply to you immediately.

The location of the ancient Ji county site is quite controversial, and the "Historical Atlas of China" indicates that the location is near Xinyang Town, Maiji District, Tianshui City; Xue Fangyu, the former director of the Gansu Provincial Volunteer Office, believes that it is in Xiwulipu Village, Gangu County; From 2012 to 2014, after archaeological excavation and research, the joint archaeological team of early Qin culture composed of five units, including the Gansu Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, believed that the Maojiaping site in Gangu County, Gansu Province was the seat of the ancient Ji County established by the Qin State more than 2,700 years ago, and the location determined by the archaeological team should be relatively correct.

According to the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, the administrative regions of the People's Republic of China are divided into the following areas: (1) the whole country is divided into provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government; (2) Provinces and autonomous regions are divided into autonomous prefectures, counties, autonomous counties, and cities; (3) Counties and autonomous counties are divided into townships, ethnic townships, and towns. Municipalities and larger cities are divided into districts and counties.

At present, China has 34 provincial-level administrative regions, namely 4 municipalities, 23 provinces, 5 autonomous regions and 2 special administrative regions. 283 prefecture-level cities; 374 county-level cities; 1,636 counties (autonomous counties, banners, autonomous banners, special zones and forest areas); 2,862 at the county level (including 852 municipal districts, 374 county-level cities, 1,464 counties, 117 autonomous counties, 49 banners, 3 autonomous banners, 2 special zones and 1 forest district);

Total: 19,522 towns, 14,677 townships, 181 sumu, 1,092 ethnic townships, 1 ethnic sumu, 6,152 streets, that is, a total of 41,636 at the township level

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were already counties and counties. The counties of the Spring and Autumn Period can be divided into two types: the counties of Chu and Qin were directly subordinate to the monarch; Most of the counties of Jin and Wu were the fiefdoms of the Qing doctor.

Both are other capitals directly under the monarch and have the role of important border towns. King Wu of Chu destroyed the state of power and rebuilt it into a county, which was the beginning of the establishment of a county. In the late Spring and Autumn period, the county system began to be gradually implemented in the interior.

During the Warring States period, the establishment of prefectures was more extensive, and the county system was transformed into a bureaucratic system as a local government. The prefectural order is the head of a county, and is appointed and dismissed by the monarch. Under the county, there are townships and li as grass-roots organizational units that the state controls the residents.

The county is set up later than the county. In the ninth year of the reign of Qin Mugong (651 BC), Yiwu, the prince of Jin (i.e., Huigong of Jin), told the envoy of Qin that "Jun Shi has counties", which is the earliest record of the establishment of counties for Qin. Later, Jin, Zhao, and Wu successively set up counties.

During this period, the status of counties was lower than that of counties, but there was no relationship between counties. In the Warring States Period, the earliest counties that can be examined were Xihe County (Wu Qi had been Xihe Shou) during the reign of Marquis Wen of Wei, Shangjun and Wan County during the reign of King Mourning of Chu. With the gradual prosperity of border counties and the gradual increase in the number of counties in the interior, it is necessary to establish a higher-level management organization, so a two-level local management system of counties and counties has been formed.

The county guard is the head of the county, and most of them are filled by military attachés, who have the right to recruit troops and lead the army. By the end of the Warring States period, it was common for counties to be established in various countries.

After the unification of Qin, the county system spread throughout the country, and the Han succeeded the Qin system, which was stricter than the Qin. Sima Qian said that Qin Shi Huang divided the world into 36 counties, and the Book of Jin thought that after unification, it was added to 40 counties. During the Han Dynasty, new counties were continuously added, and there were 105 counties in the country during the time of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The state refers to the kingdom of the princes, and after Emperor Wu, the status of the country is equivalent to that of the county. The counties under the control of a county are generally about 20 counties, and the total population of a county is about 200,000, and the majority can exceed one million. A county in the Han Dynasty, its area is about 100 miles.

In the Han Dynasty, the county where the princes ate was called the Hou Kingdom, the county where the queen and princess ate was called Yi, and the county where there were minorities living was called Dao. Under the county, there are townships, pavilions, and lanes. It is a place where people gather, just like a village in later generations.

Qin called the magistrate of the county as a guard. During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the name was changed to Taishou, and the military affairs of the county in the Western Han Dynasty seemed to be mainly supervised by the county lieutenant. Because the county guard was also a military leader, people at that time often called him "county general".

The magistrate of the county, in addition to the Taishou, Qin placed the prisoner and the lieutenant. The Western Han Dynasty placed the lieutenant but not the prison. Emperor Jing changed his lieutenant to lieutenant.

The governors of the Governor and the Taishou can be located in two places. The governor also set up a government and placed officials and subordinates, and paid equal attention to the Taishou in the county, and sometimes acted on behalf of the Taishou. The prefectural magistrate is the commander and the chief.

Xin Mang once renamed the order and the chief as "Zai". The Book of Han says that if the county is full of 10,000 households, its governor will call the order, and those who are dissatisfied will be called the chief. The duties of the commander and the chief are to be in charge of the county's public security, criminal litigation, and the collection of conscription.

There shall be a chief under the commander and the chief clerk, the storehouse and the prison. There is also a lieutenant in charge of military affairs, and a left lieutenant and a right lieutenant in large counties. In the Han Dynasty, the Taishou, Ling, Cheng, and Wei were all appointed and dismissed by **.

It should have been during the Qin Dynasty, when Qin Shi Wang promulgated this policy.

Since the Qin Dynasty's Shang Dynasty changed the law, there was a county system!
