Aimag ( Mongolianᠠᠶᠢᠮᠠᠭ, ayimaɣ , IPA [ æːmɑ̆ɡ̊ ]; cyrillic : аймаг ; Chinese 盟 , Pinyin méng - "Bund, Liga") is an administrative unit in Inner Mongolia , People's Republic of China .
Aimags have existed as a level of government since the Qing Dynasty . An aimag's head was chosen from the jasagh or sula of a banner to which it belongs. The original six aimags were Jirem (Jirim), Ju Ud (Juu Uda), Josutu , Xilin Gol , Ulanqab and Ih Ju (Yeke Juu). There were more over the centuries.
Today aimags belong to the district level of the Chinese administrative hierarchy and correspond to the administrative districts . Of the nine aimags that existed in the late 1970s, six were converted to prefecture-level cities .
