Who changed the name of Shanghai first? In 0949, 65438+65438+3 1 month, Beiping declared peaceful liberation. On September 27th of the same year, the first session of China People's Political Consultative Conference passed a resolution: "The capital of People's Republic of China (PRC) is located in Beiping, and it will be renamed as Beijing from now on". 1On October 6th, President Mao Zedong announced the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC) in Tiananmen Square. Since then, Beijing, a world-famous cultural ancient city, has started a great new life. Since the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Beijing has been the political and cultural center of new China. Today, with the clarion call for the four modernizations, Beijing, as the capital of the people, shoulders a greater historical mission. The name of "Shanghai" was first recorded in a water conservancy book written during the Xining period in the Northern Song Dynasty. According to the book, the nearest places to Haikou on the south bank of Songjiang are Shanghai Pu, Shanghai Pu, Nanjipu, Jiangzhupu and Lannipu. According to the Ming Dynasty's Hongzhi Shanghai County Records, the east of Puzhi County in Shanghai has disappeared in Huangpu River. During the Xining period of the Northern Song Dynasty, because many ships docked here, the market was named Pu. Therefore, the name of Shanghai came from this. 1928, the Kuomintang government designated Shanghai county and some counties such as Baoshan, Nanjiang, Songjiang and Qingpu as Shanghai, which was directly under the Central Executive Yuan. Since then, Shanghai has been listed as a first-class administrative division.

After liberation, Shanghai became one of the important industrial bases and foreign trade ports in China. At present, she has ten counties directly under the central government and is making contributions to the realization of the four modernizations of the motherland.
