1968, after high-level discussion, Shijiazhuang was recognized as more suitable as the capital of Hebei Province. Since then, Baoding is no longer the capital of Hebei Province, and the unknown Shijiazhuang has become the new capital of Hebei Province.
According to historical inheritance, Baoding should be more suitable as the capital of Hebei than Shijiazhuang.
Baoding, located in the south of Yan and the north of Zhao, is the legendary hometown of Yao Emperor. It has a history of more than 3000 years, and its construction can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Baoding was established as Qingyuan County in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and was upgraded to Taizhou in the Tang Dynasty. It became a military fortress in the Northern Song Dynasty and was renamed Baozhou. It was renamed Baoding Road in Yuan Dynasty, which became the origin of the name. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it officially became the capital of Hebei.
Baoding, as the provincial capital, has experienced four periods. The first is the Qing government period from 1669 to 19 13. Baoding in this period was called Baoding Road or Baoding House, which was the seat of Zhili Governor's Office and also the military important place in North China controlled by Qing Dynasty.
The second time was during the Republic of China 1935- 1947, which was the administrative office of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei government autonomous committee and the seat of the North China autonomous government supported by the Japanese, and the Japanese took it as the focus of aggression in North China.
Third, from 1949 to 1958 in the early days of the People's Republic of China. During this period, * * * and China chose to continue the tradition of Baoding as the provincial capital.
The last one was from 1966 to 1968, and the provincial capital moved back to Baoding from Tianjin. A * * * has a history of more than two hundred years, which is really a long time.
Compared with Baoding, 1925 was officially established as a city, and it was always a county before, so its cultural background was much inferior.
Then why did you later move the capital city of Hebei Province from Baoding to Shijiazhuang?
There are several main reasons:
The first is geographical location. Baoding is located in the north of Hebei Province, too far north, which is not conducive to exchanges and exchanges with the south of Hebei Province, nor is it convenient to promote its economic development. Shijiazhuang has a unique geographical position.
Located in the middle of Hebei Province, it is an important transportation hub, with Shanxi in the west, Henan in the south, Beijing in the north and Bohai Sea in the east. It can be called the heart of Hebei Province with excellent traffic conditions.
If Shijiazhuang is designated as the capital of Hebei Province, the economic development and foreign exchange of Hebei Province will be far better than Baoding in the north. From a long-term perspective, Baoding, which has a long history, was abandoned.
The second is the industrial economic base. Shijiazhuang is a transportation hub, with convenient industrial development and good industrial basic conditions. In that era when industry was emphasized, its position was very important. On the other hand, Baoding itself is not as developed as Shijiazhuang and its industry is not as good as Baoding, but it is only a famous historical city.
Since Shijiazhuang replaced Baoding as the provincial capital, Baoding has been affected politically and economically.
On the policy level, Baoding no longer has the previous policy advantages. Because it is no longer the provincial capital, Baoding is no longer valued as before, and its development priority is not as good as that of the provincial capital. Many plans and policies will be implemented later in Baoding. At the same time, from the provincial administrative center to the regional administrative center, the nature and orientation of the city become uncertain.
On the economic level, due to the loss of policy advantages and the uncertainty of urban development goals, Baoding, which was not strong at first, developed more slowly and became a second-tier city.
At the same time, Baoding lost a lot of market and purchasing power because of the cancellation of the provincial capital. If it is a provincial capital city, there are many foreign capitals, many enterprises, many migrant workers, a much larger population, a much better market prospect, a much stronger purchasing power and a much better economy.
Not only that, Baoding's fiscal revenue and expenditure have also been affected. As a provincial capital city, Baoding should have more income from taxation, bonds, services, commerce and industry. But the cancellation of the provincial capital has reduced Baoding's income a lot. Without these incomes, Baoding's urban construction and economy will be affected accordingly.
Today, a considerable number of Baoding people are still worried about the change of the provincial capital from Baoding to Shijiazhuang. These Baoding citizens sincerely hope that Baoding will become the provincial capital again and regain its former status and glory.
However, the development speed of Shijiazhuang in recent years has far exceeded Baoding, and its economy and industry are stronger than Baoding.
Therefore, it is too difficult for Baoding to become the capital of Hebei.
