History
edit
Wuhu is known to have been inhabited since at least 570 BCE.[3]Present-day Wuhu evolved out of a settlement known as Jiuzi (Chinese:Cưu tư;pinyin:Jiūzī), located on the southern bank of theShuiyang River,about 20 kilometres (12 mi) southeast of Wuhu's contemporaryurban core.[3]Jiuzi was a site of conflict prior to 670 BCE between theChuand theWuduring theSpring and Autumn period.[3]In 473 BCE, theYuetook Jiuzi from the Wu.[3]In 306 BCE, the Chu took Jiuzi from the Yue.[3]
During the time of the Qin dynasty, Jiuzi was placed under the jurisdiction of the Zhang Commandery (Chinese:Chướng quận;pinyin:Zhāng Jùn).[3]In 109 BCE, Zhang Commandery was renamed toDanyang Commandery.[3]During this time, the area of Juizi was reorganized as Wuhu County (simplified Chinese:Vu hồ huyện;traditional Chinese:Vu hồ huyện;pinyin:Wúhú Xiàn).[3]In 223 CE, under the reign ofSun Quanof theEastern Wu,the county seat was moved from the site of Jiuzi to the highlands along the north banks of theQingyi River,to the southeast of contemporary Wuhu's urban core.[3]
Xuancheng Commanderywas carved-out of Danyang Commandery in 281 CE, with the headquarters of Danyang Commandery moved toNanjing.[3]The area of contemporary Wuhu remained under the jurisdiction of Danyang Commandery.[3]During theEastern Jinperiod, the area saw an influx of people migrate to the area from theCentral Plains.[3]The area was placed under the jurisdiction of Xuancheng Commandery in 363 CE, and thecommandery'sheadquarters were moved to the area.[3]During the late 4th Century, the area underwent a number of other administrative changes.[3]Part of the area would fall under the jurisdiction ofHuainan Commandery.[3]
Both Xuancheng Commandery and Huainan Commandery were abolished early on during theSui dynasty,in 589 CE.[3]
In 627 CE, under theTang dynasty,the area was re-organized as Xuan Prefecture (Chinese:Tuyên Châu;pinyin:Xuān Zhōu), and placed under the jurisdiction ofJiangnan Circuit.[3]In 733 CE, it became part of the newly createdJiangnanxi Circuit.[3]In 758 CE, it was transferred to be part ofSheng Prefecture,inJiangnandong Circuit.[3]Three years later, it would return to Xuan Prefecture in Jiangnanxi Circuit.[3]In 787 CE, Xuan Prefecture was transferred to Jiangnandong Circuit.[3]
In 937 CE, upon the creation of theSouthern Tangduring theFive Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period,Wuhu County was established, and placed underJiangning Fu.[3]Since then, Wuhu went uninterrupted as an administrative unit throughout the remainder of dynastic China.[3]
During theSong dynasty,Wuhu County belonged to Jiangnan Circuit, and later Jiangnandong Circuit.[3]
In 1277, during theYuan dynasty,Wuhu County was placed under the jurisdiction ofTaiping Circuit.[3]In 1355, Taiping Circuit was replaced byTaiping Fu,and Wuhu County was placed under its jurisdiction.[3]
Taiping Fu was under the jurisdiction ofZhongshu Shenguntil its abolition in 1380, during theMing dynasty.[3]Throughout the Ming dynasty, Wuhu County remained under the jurisdiction of Taiping Fu.[3]Under the Ming dynasty, Wuhu developed into a major commercial center and river port and since that time has been known as a center of the rice trade.[citation needed]
In 1644, theHongguang Emperor(better known as thePrince of Fu), one of the last emperors of the Ming dynasty, was captured by forces of the newQing dynastyin Wuhu County.[citation needed]During theTaiping Rebellion,Wuhu County exchanged hands more than five times between Taiping and Imperial forces.[citation needed]Wuhu County was placed under the jurisdiction ofHuiningchitaiguang Circuitduring the Taiping Rebellion.[3]The city became atreaty portin 1876 and has remained a commercial center since that time.[citation needed]The city'sRoman Catholiccathedral,St. Joseph's Cathedral(Thánh nếu sắt giáo chủ tòa đường), dates from this time. Most of the downtown area alongside the Yangtze River was ceded in the British concession.[citation needed]
Upon the establishment of theRepublic of Chinain 1912, Fu, Prefectures, and Ting were established, and counties were placed under direct provincial jurisdiction.[3]Wuhu County was directly governed by Anhui province from 1912 until 1914, whenWuhu Circuitwas established to govern 23 counties in the area, including Wuhu County, until 1928.[3]Trade in rice, wood, and tea flourished at Wuhu until theWarlord Eraof the 1920s and 1930s, whenbanditswere active in the area.[citation needed]In 1932, Wuhu County was placed under the jurisdiction of the Second Administrative Division of Anhui province (Chinese:An Huy tỉnh đệ nhị chuyên khu;pinyin:Ānhuī Shěng Dì Èr Zhuānqū).[3]
At the beginning of theSecond Sino-Japanese War,part of theSecond World War,Wuhu was occupied by Japan on December 10, 1937.[citation needed]This was a prelude to theBattle of Nanjing,ending in theNanjing massacre.[citation needed]Under Japanese occupation, Chinese resistance fighters hid in the lakes around Wuhu by submerging themselves and breathing through reeds.[citation needed]In early 1938, Japan moved Wuhu County from the Second Administrative Division to the Fifth Administrative Division.[3]On October 25, 1938, they transferred Wuhu County to the Ninth Administrative Division.[3]Japan had again changed the region's divisions in August 1941, and placed Wuhu County under the Sixth Administrative Division.[3]
Japanese forces had been expelled from the area by August 1945, and Kuomintang forces placed Wuhu County under theSouthern Anhui Administrative Office,and remained part of the Sixth Administrative Division.[3]
ThePeople's Liberation Armycaptured Wuhu on April 24, 1949.[3]Three days later, it was placed under the jurisdiction of a local military committee.[3]ThecivilianWuhu Municipal People's Government was established on May 10, 1949.[3]Two days later, a civilian government was formed for Wuhu County, which was placed under the jurisdiction of Wuhu.[3]
From December 1, 1967, to April 1, 1968, during the tumult of theCultural Revolution,Wuhu was placed undermilitary rule.[3]
Major industries began to be developed in Wuhu after the Second World War, with the development of the textile industry, shipbuilding, and paper mills.[citation needed]Despite this, Wuhu had been lagging behindMa'anshanandTonglingin industrial production for decades after theestablishment of the People's Republic of Chinaand remained primarily a commercial center for trade in rice, silk, cotton, tea, wheat and eggs.[citation needed]However, with recent years' economic rise, Wuhu has become a hub for manufacturing.[citation needed]
In July 2016, the area was afflicted by the2016 China floods.[4]
On July 6, 2020, the Anhui provincial government approved the merger ofSanshan DistrictintoYi gian g District,the replacement of Wuhu County withWanzhi District,and the replacement of Fanchang County withFanchang District.[3]
