Nanhai, once an ancient name, is now just an urban area-Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province. Nanhai District, which belongs to Foshan City, is located in the hinterland of Guangdong Pearl River Delta, in the northeast of Foshan City, and runs through the middle and south of Foshan City. Nanhai District is adjacent to Baiyun District, Liwan District and Panyu District of Guangzhou in the east, Sanshui District and Gaoming District in the west, Shunde District, Pengjiang District of Jiangmen City and Heshan City across the Xijiang River in the south, Huadu District of Guangzhou in the north and Chancheng District in the south-central part.
Nanhai District, with an area of 1073.82 square kilometers and a permanent population of 3.03 million, governs 1 street and 6 towns. Nanhai District is a famous historical and cultural city, with a large number of outstanding figures such as Kang Youwei, Chen Qiyuan, Zhan Tianyou, Zou, He Xiangning, etc.
2. I used to be a "provincial" teacher-Nanhai County;
Nanhai District has a long history, which can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. In the pre-Qin period, the South China Sea belonged to Nanyue branch of Baiyue area in China. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries and established the Qin Dynasty, he sent 500,000 troops to the south. At that time, in Baiyue area, branches such as Fujian, Nanyue, Xi 'ou and Luoyue were conquered by the Qin Dynasty. In the Qin Dynasty, Baiyue's hometown was set up in Nanhai County, Guilin County and Xiang Jun County.
The "county" in Qin dynasty was a first-class administrative division, which was equivalent to the division of "province" today. Today's Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, can be traced back to Nanhai County established during this period, and it is also the beginning of the name "Nanhai". Nanhai County in Qin Dynasty governed Panyu County, Sihui County, Boluo County and Longchuan County, and Panyu County (Guangzhou City) was equivalent to the sum of today's Pearl River Delta, eastern Guangdong and northern Guangdong.
Foshan used to be just my town, but now I am a district of Foshan;
Nanhai county, Panyu county and Sihui county were merged into Nanhai county by the court in Song Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, Nanhai County established Shunde County and Sanshui County, which are now Shunde District and Sanshui District. In the Qing Dynasty, Hua County was established from Nanhai County, which is now Huadu District of Guangzhou. During the Republic of China, the National Government separated Foshan Town from Nanhai County and established Foshan City. Later, the organizational system of Foshan City was revoked, and the organizational system of Foshan Town was restored, and it was placed under the jurisdiction of Nanhai County again. It can be seen that Foshan, which is now economically developed, was originally just a town in Nanhai County.
On June 65438+ 1, 0983, Guangdong Central Administrative Office merged with Foshan City. Since then, Shunde County, Nanhai County, Gaoming County, Sanshui County and Zhongshan County have all been officially placed under the jurisdiction of Foshan City. Of course, Nanhai County also had a short-lived glory later, that is,1September 23, 992, Nanhai withdrew from the county and set up a city-Nanhai City at the county level. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. On February 8, 2002, 65438, the county-level Nanhai City was revoked and changed to Nanhai District, which was under the jurisdiction of Foshan City. Since then, Nanhai has become an urban area of Foshan.
Ending words:
Times have changed, and the wind and water have turned. The South China Sea has developed from the glorious Nanhai County in the Qin Dynasty to the modern times, but it has become a small urban area.
