Historical evolution

Ganzhou Songcheng ancient charm

In 982, Huichang county was established in Jiuzhou town. It is the Qianzhou state of Jiangnan West Road. In the 23rd year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1153), Qianzhou was changed to Ganzhou, Huichang was promoted to army in the 4th year of shaoding (1231), and Xianchun was restored to county in the 5th year of Xianchun (1269). According to Huichang county annals, the county was set up in the eighth year of Taiping Xingguo (983) in the Northern Song Dynasty, when the town people chiseled 12 bricks with "Huichang" seal characters on them, so "Huichang" is the name of the county.

In the first year of Dade in Yuan Dynasty (1297), Huichang was promoted to a prefecture and governed Ruijin county. In 1369, Huichang was restored to be a county. Since then, Huichang in Ming and Qing Dynasties belonged to Ganzhou Prefecture.

In the first year of the Republic of China (1912), the prefecture system of the Qing Dynasty was abolished. In the next year, the county system was unified, and each county was directly under the province. Huichang belongs to Jiangxi Province.

In 1932, Jiangxi Province was divided into 13 administrative regions. Huichang was the 12th Administrative Region (the office of the chief executive set up Ningdu).

In 1935, Jiangxi Province was divided into eight administrative regions. Huichang was the eighth Administrative Region (Ningdu was set up) until Huichang was liberated in August 1949. In 1929, Mao Zedong and Zhu De led the Red Army to Huichang and established the red regime, the junmenling underground District Committee of the Communist Party of China; in October 1931, the Soviet government of Huichang county and the Huichang County Committee of the Communist Party of China were established; in July 1932, Huichang, Xunwu and Anyuan jointly established the Central County Committee; in February 1933, Huichang, junmenling and Xijiang were set up in Huichang County; in September 1934, the three counties were merged Chang county.

In September 1931, the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army liberated the northern area of Huichang. In October, the "Huichang County Revolutionary Committee" was established. It was first stationed in Zhuangbu, and then moved to the county seat, under the Central Soviet government. In January 1932, the Revolutionary Committee of Huichang county was abolished and the Soviet government of Huichang county was established. In July 1933, Xijiang and menling counties were established. Huichang was divided into three counties, which were under the Soviet government of Guangdong and Jiangxi Province. In May 1934, Xijiang county was designated as a county directly under the central government. In the same year, Su of Huichang County merged with menling and suyudu Creek of xun'an county to form Su of xun'an County, which was subordinate to Su of Gannan province. Xijiang county is under the Ruixi special committee of the CPC. In October 1934, after the long march of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army, the Soviet regimes in Huichang, Xijiang and menling counties disintegrated one after another, and Huichang was restored to one county.

On August 22, 1949, Huichang County People's government was set up after Huichang was liberated. In mid September, the office of the Commissioner of administrative supervision of Ningdu district was established, under which Huichang was subordinate.
