history

During the Warring States Period , the then rural area was part of the Yan Kingdom . As Qin Shihuangdi 221 BC When the united kingdom divided into 36 command posts, the area belonged to the command post of Shanggu (上 谷 郡). The name "Changping" appears for the first time in 110 BC. BC, when Emperor Liu Che divided the Shanggu headquarters into the districts of Changping (昌平 县) and Jundu (军 都 县). The official seat of the district administrator of Changping was in today's large municipality Baishan, that of the district administrator of Jundu in today's Changping. In 386, at the beginning of the Northern Wei Dynasty , the two counties were reunited, with their administrative headquarters in Baishan.

When General Li Yuan founded the Tang Dynasty in 618 , dissolved the old command posts and established You (幽州) prefecture on the area of ​​what is now the governmental city of Beijing, Changping County, now with the seat of government in what is now Nankou, was assigned to it. You was one of the 16 prefectures ceded to the Kitan by the Later Jin Dynasty in 936 . From 1012 it belonged to Xijin Prefecture (析 津 府), the area around what was then the southern capital of the Liao dynasty , today's Beijing. When the Jurchen overran Liao in 1125, they took over this administrative structure. During the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368), Changping County was part of the capital district (大都 路), which was initially retained by the Ming Dynasty . In 1506, Changping was promoted to a prefecture to which Miyun , Shunyi and Huairou counties were subordinate. In the early years of the Qing Dynasty , these three districts came to the capital city prefecture, now called Shuntianfu (顺天府). Changping remained prefecture, but without subordinate circles.

In February 1913, the 2nd year of the Republic , Changping was downgraded to the district and also the capital district, renamed "Jingzhao" (京兆 地方) on October 4, 1914, subordinate. From December 25, 1935, Changping belonged to the "Autonomous Government of East Hebei" (冀東 防 共 自治 政府, Pinyin Jìdōng Fánggòng Zìzhì Zhèngfǔ , Japanese Kitō Bōkyō Jichi Seifu ), a Japanese puppet regime, and was officially occupied in 1937 by the Japanese army. In March 1939, however, the CCP set up an anti-Japanese base area (抗日 根据地, Pinyin Kàngrì Gēnjùdì ) there, with its own county government, which, however, had to change its seat frequently. After the defeat of Japan in August 1945, the area was the scene of fierce fighting between the CCP and the Kuomintang until the Red Army finally occupied the area on December 12, 1948 and established a county government in Changping. On August 1, 1949, the county was subordinated to Hebei Province .

The area of ​​the 13 Ming Tombs was removed from Changping County in September 1955 and placed under the Beijing Horticultural Department (北京市 园林局). On March 9, 1956, all of Changping came to Beijing as a new district with the approval of the State Council of the People's Republic of China . On January 7, 1960, however, Changping became a separate circle again. On September 16, 1999, this decision was reversed, Changping was again a district of Beijing with the official seat in the street district Chengbei, Government Street. 19th
