history
The area of today's Yibin can be identified as a circle called Bódào (僰 道 县) more than 2000 years ago. It is not entirely clear whether the district was founded during the Qin or the Western Han Dynasty , but it is certain that it was founded in Jianyuan 6 of Emperor Han Wudi , i.e. 135 BC. BC, belonged to Qiánwéi Prefecture (犍为 郡). In the year Datong 10 of the emperor Liang Wudi , i.e. 544 AD, the administrative district Róngzhōu (戎 州) was founded in the area of today's Yibin. At the time of the Northern Zhou , the district Wàijiāng (外 江 县) was added, which received its old name, Bódào, back during the Sui dynasty . In the year Zhenghe 4 of the Northern Song , i.e. 1114, Róngzhōu was renamed Xùzhōu (叙 州) and the district under him Bódào was renamed Yíbīn (宜宾 县). Until the end of the Qing Dynasty , the area of today's city of Yibin, with the exception of Jiang'an and Pingshan counties, was called Xùzhōu.
This remained so in the first years of the republic (from 1912) until after several administrative reforms in June 1935 the province of Sichuan was divided into 18 administrative districts (行政 督察 区) and Yibin became the sixth of them. Only what is now Pingshan County was then part of the Fifth County. After the liberation, which only took place here on December 11, 1949, Yibin was subordinated to the South Sichuan administrative region in January 1950. In March 1957, Pingshan County, which was part of Leshan District , was placed under Yibin. In July 1960, the entire Luzhou District was dissolved into Yibin District (宜宾 专区), which now consisted of two independent cities and 16 counties. In April 1978, the Yibin District was converted into Yibin Governorate (宜宾 地区), and Longchang County , which was part of Luzhou before 1960, was detached and placed under Neijiang Governorate . In March 1983, Fushun County , formerly also part of Luzhou, was transferred to Zigong City . At the same time, the independent city of Luzhou was raised to the rank of an independent city and thus separated from the Yibin administrative district. From June 1983 to June 1985, all the remaining districts of Luzhou were separated from Yibin and added to the new city of Luzhou. Exactly the administrative area of today's Yibin remained. On October 5, 1996, the State Council of the People's Republic of China decided to dissolve the Yibin administrative district and the Yibin urban district, establish the new Yibin administrative district on the administrative territory of the former administrative district and the Cuiping district on the administrative territory of the former urban municipal district.
