Evolution of organizational system
The name "Horgos" comes from Mongolian (Junggar). The original meaning is "more dry Camel dung", which can also be used as "the best nomadic land". In the second year of shenjue (60bc), Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty established the direct jurisdiction of the western regions, namely, the western regions' Duhufu. Horgos was the jurisdiction of the western regions' Duhufu. in the Tang Dynasty, the government of the Tang Dynasty opened up the Silk Road branch of Tianshan North Road, and Horgos became an important post station on the North Road in the middle of the silk road. in the early Qing Dynasty, it was also a garrison in China, one of the six Kalun garrisons of solun camp in Ili. During the Tongzhi period, after the demarcation of the border between China and Russia, it became a border post, formerly known as nikanka. "Xinjiang Tu Zhi" records: "nikankalun, on the East Bank of the river, is stationed in one inspector and one sentry guard. The west bank belongs to Russia, and there are Russia and Kazakhstan. " In the first year of Xianfeng (1851), representatives of China and Russia signed the "Regulations of trade between Yili and talbahatai" in Yili, officially opening the two ports of Yili and Tacheng, and Horgos was designated as one of the trade channels between China and Russia. In 1881, China and Russia signed the revised regulations of land trade between China and Russia, and Horgos became the official trade port between China and Russia. in 1917, the October Revolution broke out in Russia, and a large number of defeated soldiers of the old Russian Party poured into Xinjiang. The government of the Republic of China repatriated the old Russian soldiers from Horgos port, and then closed the port. In the ninth year of the Republic of China (1920), China and the Soviet Union signed the temporary partial trade regulations of Ili, and the Khorgos port was reopened. During the Anti Japanese War, a large number of materials were imported from Horgos port because of the cut-off of maritime traffic. In 1937, after the outbreak of the Anti Japanese War, a large number of materials were imported from Horgos port because of the cut-off of maritime traffic. after the founding of new China, nikanka was officially renamed as Horgos port, and the foreign trade between the two sides has been nationalized. Because of its superior geographical location, Horgos port has become the largest port in the west of Sino Soviet trade. In 1962, the relationship between China and the Soviet Union deteriorated, and the Horgos port completely stopped its import and export trade except for maintaining postal service. In December 1981, the State Council approved the resumption of trade between Xinjiang and the Soviet Union and the direct exchange of goods at the border ports, and determined the Huoerguosi port in Northern Xinjiang, which is open to the Soviet Union. On November 16, 1983, with the approval of the State Council, the port of Horgos was officially reopened. In August 1992, the Chinese and Kazakh governments agreed to open the port to a third country, which has the status of international transport. in May 2010, at the central Xinjiang work conference, the central government officially approved the establishment of the Special Economic Zone in Horgos. on June 26, 2014, the State Council issued the "Reply of the State Council on Approving the establishment of county-level Horgos city in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region".
