After the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), Xuzhou was retained, which was originally under the jurisdiction of Shandong Province, and then transferred back to Jiangsu Province. At the same time, Xuzhou area is established, located in Xuzhou City, which governs 1 1 counties and cities. Since then, Xuzhou City and Xuzhou Special Zone have coexisted, and the jurisdiction has changed in different periods. 1983, Jiangsu province implemented the system of city governing counties, withdrew from Xuzhou area, and placed six counties under its jurisdiction under Xuzhou city. Xuzhou now governs 5 districts and 6 counties (cities). Jiangsu Province was founded on 1667. Since the establishment of the province, Xuzhou has always belonged to Jiangsu, which is one of the inherent jurisdictions of Jiangsu. Before that, it belonged to jiangnan province. Huaihai Campaign 1948 ended at the end of February, and Xuzhou was liberated, so the army had to hand over the city to local jurisdiction and go to war by itself. But at that time, Jiangsu Province was in Zhenjiang, and the whole south of the Yangtze River had not been liberated. The CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee is still underground, so it is impossible to take over Xuzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. But the whole of Shandong was liberated, so Xuzhou was temporarily entrusted to the southern Shandong District Committee of the Communist Party of China. Nanjing and Jiangsu were liberated 1949. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the new people's political power was consolidated. From 1953, 1, Xuzhou ended its trusteeship in Shandong and officially returned to Jiangsu.
