The origin of the yamen in the former site of the governor's yamen

The yamen of the Governor's Office, also known as the censorate of the Governor's Office, is also known as the Futai Yamen. In the Ming Dynasty, the governor was appointed as the highest local governor, and in the Qing Dynasty, the governor was officially appointed as the governor of the provincial local government, in charge of civil affairs, military affairs, official administration, criminal prisons and so on. Report directly to the court like the governor.

In the fifth year of Xuande in Ming Dynasty (1430), Yingtian Governor was stationed in Suzhou, in charge of Jiangnan House in Jiangbei and Anqing House (that is, Nanjing, Jiangsu (including present-day Shanghai) and Anhui, but under the general manager of Nanjing South Zhili).

In the early Qing Dynasty, South Zhili was changed to jiangnan province.

In the 6th year of Kangxi (1667), Jiangsu Province and Anhui Province were set up due to the large scale and strength of Jiangnan provinces. The name of the former was taken from the two largest cities in the province at that time, "Jiang" and "Su", which was the beginning of naming Jiangsu. Later, it was gradually abbreviated as Jiangsu Province and Anhui Province (named after "Anqing House" and "Huizhou House").

Jiangsu Province (the Governor's Office is located in Suzhou) governs jiangning house (now Nanjing), Suzhou, Huai 'an, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Tongzhou, Changzhou, Zhenjiang and Songjiang (now Shanghai). He used to be the general manager of Nanjing Liangjiang Governor's Office and was abolished as Governor after the Revolution of 1911.
