Historical evolution

The origin of place names

"Tacheng" is the abbreviation of "talbatai city", which is named after talbatai mountain. "Talbahatai" is Mongolian, which means "the place where marmots come and go", so it's named after marmot. The national language name of Tacheng originates from the place name of chuhuchu, the seat of Tacheng Municipal People's government. "Chuhuchu" means "chuhuchu" in Mongolian and "Muwan". It is translated as "quechek" in Uighur and converted into "qiaoxike" in Kazakh.

History of construction

Before treatment

Tacheng city is under the jurisdiction of Wusun in the Han Dynasty, gaochebu in the Northern Wei Dynasty and Turks from the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the governor's office of Longyan was set up here, where Geluolu tribe had been nomadic for a long time. Gelalu moved to the south, where the people lived.

During the Five Dynasties, Liao, song and Jin Dynasties (951-1125), it was subordinate to the Western Turkic palace established by the Liao Dynasty, and later came under the jurisdiction of the Western Liao Dynasty.

In 1218, Genghis Khan sent troops to destroy the Western Liao Dynasty and entered the Mongol Khanate. Genghis Khan enfeoffed the three sons and became the fief of kuotai.

In 1252, mengge Khan established biebalihang Shangshu Province in the western regions, which was under the jurisdiction of biebalihang Shangshu province.

In 1268, Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, granted the territory to the kings. The city belonged to xiliji, the fourth son of mengge Khan of Xianzong. In February 1282, the Yuan government set up the Ta'er Ba He you post, which was named after its many marmots. This is the first time the place name has been used officially.

Later, it was under the jurisdiction of Chagatai Khanate. Because the Wara leader also defeated the Chagatai Khanate first, it was the ruling area of Moxi Mongolia from the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty.

In 1635, the leader of the Junggar tribe Batur hongtaiji united with other weilat tribes to establish a loose weilat alliance. The ruling center of the alliance was now hekeser Mongolian Autonomous County. Today, Tacheng area is an important area of the alliance. It is stipulated that it is the territory of gushihan, the leader of Heshuote tribe of Moxi Mongolia and the leader of weilat alliance. After he went to the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, he was inherited by his eldest nephew, ezir Tuhan.

In the 25th year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1760), the Qing army attacked and pacified Amur SANA in boyar. In the 29th year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1764), 600 green camp soldiers led by counsellor chuleduo came from Urumqi to build Zhaofeng city as the capital of talbach platform area.

After treatment

In 1765, aguiyar, who took over the post of counsellor in the thirtieth year of Emperor Qianlong, asked the court to move the counsellor's residence eastward to chuhu Chu, 200 miles away, to create a new city. Emperor Qianlong personally gave the city the name of "appeasement city", namely xianta city.

In 1865, the city of appeasement was destroyed because of huiluan. The unrest led to the invasion of agubai gang and the occupation of Ili by Tsarist Russia.

In 1889, the Qing government rebuilt the city of appeasement, so the Tacheng was divided into Mancheng and Seoul. The old city was called Seoul, and the new city was called Mancheng.
