Historical evolution

[Edit this paragraph]

Siping belonged to Fuyu from the ancient Han and Wei dynasties to the Jin and Sixteen Kingdoms periods (AD 206 to 420 AD) From the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the early Tang Dynasty, it was the territory of Goguryeo. After the middle of the Tang Dynasty, it belonged to Fuzhou of the Bohai Kingdom's Fuyu Prefecture. In the Liao Dynasty, it belonged to Tongzhou of Tokyo Road. It belonged to the Zhelim League of Inner Mongolia and was later placed under the jurisdiction of Changtu Hall.

In 1821 (the first year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty), Changtu Hall set up a branch in Maishou Street (today's Lishu Town) to govern Siping.

Fenghua County was established in 1878 (the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty), with nine communities under the county. Among them, Xin'en Society governs most of the village communities in Siping City today. Xin'en Social Administrative Office was located in Siping Street (today's Laosiping, Changtu County).

In 1898 (the 24th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty), when Tsarist Russia built the South Manchuria Branch of the Dongqing Railway, stations were set up every 30 kilometers southward from Changchun, passing through Fanjiatun, Gongzhuling (Ling), Guo Siping is now the fifth station of our store, so it is commonly known as "Five Stations".

In July 1903 (the 29th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty), the South Manchuria branch line was fully opened to traffic, and Tsarist Russia named the "five stations" "Siping Street Station". Construction of the north-south No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 roads began in front of the station, and the railway lease area took shape.

In September 1905 (the 31st year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty), the Russo-Japanese War ended and Tsarist Russia was defeated. The Japanese imperialists took over the South Manchuria branch line from Tsarist Russia and changed the "Railway Lease Area" during the Tsarist Russia era to the "Manchuria Railway Auxiliary Area" (that is, today's Siping City starts from Daodong Yima Road in the east, ends at the west side of Daoli Children's Park in the west, and ends at Nanhe River in the south , most areas from Beihe in the north), and the Japanese were in charge of all administrative, economic, street construction, land, housing construction, culture, education, health, taxation and other affairs in the "annexed area". Siping has implemented one land and two governances.

The eastern part of Siping Street (several natural villages such as Yi Yiancheng and Huangjiatun in the area under the jurisdiction of Lishu County), in order to resist the economic manipulation of Japanese imperialism, carried out economic struggles with the "annexed areas". With the approval of Fengtian Province, Lishu County Governor Yin Shousong issued a proclamation on May 13, 1921 (the 10th year of the Republic of China) to open up a new market. Businessmen rushed to acquire land and build houses. Eight grain stores and dozens of grocery stores were opened successively. Lishu County set up the "Siping Street New Market Office" here to also manage the administration of the area. In 1922, Siping Street Village (affiliated to Lishu District 2) was established here.

In 1924, the Siping Street Electric Lighting Company, a national electrical enterprise, began to transmit electricity to the region.

At the same time, in March 1916, the Sizheng Railway Bureau of the Northeast Transportation Committee of the Ministry of Transport set up the "North Station" on Siping Street to directly manage household registration, civil, construction, and public security matters at the North Station. It is governed by the "annex" and Lishu County. After 1922, the Sitao Railway was opened to traffic, and the traffic on Siping Street became more and more convenient. Merchants from Laosiping, Lishu County, Bamiancheng and other places came in droves, and a large number of buildings were built one after another. Siping has the trend of "three legs (affiliated areas, Lishu County, and Sitao Railway)". After the "September 18th" Incident in 1931, the administrative power of the "North Railway Station" was replaced by the "Manchurian Railway Siping Street Local Office".

On December 1, 1937, according to the Treaty on the Abolition of Extraterritorial Rights in Manchukuo and the Transfer of Administrative Rights in the South Manchuria Railway Auxiliary Areas signed between Japan and the Puppet Manchukuo, the administrative rights of the east and Daoli areas of Siping Street were merged. 1.

Administrative district change

[Edit this paragraph]

Because Siping is the fifth station of the Changchun-south railway, it was once commonly known as the "Fifth Station" among the people.
