Excuse me, which country is Hohhot from? I often hear it in the weather forecast.

Although Hohhot has only a history of more than 400 years, it has a very long history and culture. People of all ethnic groups have thrived on this magical and rich land at the foot of Yinshan Mountain and the bank of the Yellow River for generations. * * * has created a splendid civilization of the Chinese nation, and truly recorded the historical facts of frequent economic, political and cultural exchanges between the Han nationality in the Central Plains and the northern minority nationalities, fully demonstrating that Hohhot is an important part of the Chinese nation, a combination of Chinese culture in the Central Plains and the northern minority cultures, and one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation.

1973 to 1984, the Paleolithic "Dayao Culture" site discovered and excavated in the mountainous area 30 kilometers east of the city proved that human ancestors lived in this area as early as 400,000 to 500,000 years ago, creating an ancient human civilization.

According to Historical Records, during the Warring States Period, "King Wuling of Zhao changed customs, learned to ride and shoot, and broke the forests and buildings in the north", and set up Yunzhong County in Hohhot Plain. At that time, Yunzhong County had a wide jurisdiction. It starts from the Great Wall in the south, reaches Yinshan Mountain in the north, reaches the bank of the Yellow River in the southwest and reaches the north of the junction of Daqingshan and Manchu-Han banquet in the northeast.

After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he implemented the county system, making the world 36 counties, and "Yunzhong" was one of the 36 counties in Qin Dynasty. The jurisdiction is roughly the same as that of Yunzhong County of Zhao State in the Warring States Period.

In 206 BC, the Han Dynasty adopted the Qin system, also known as Yunzhong County, and later placed the southern part of Yunzhong County under the jurisdiction of Dingxiang County. It was in this period that Hu Han and Qin's "Zhaojun's Embankment" came into being. During the Eastern Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the border ethnic minorities entered the mainland, forming a new era of great ethnic migration and integration, enhancing economic and cultural exchanges among ethnic groups and playing an important role in national unity and national unity. The Northern Wei regime was established in the Tuoba Department of Xianbei, and Lesheng (now Linger County) was its capital, which unified the division of the "sixteen countries" in the north. Subsequently, "Chileans" belonging to the Northern Wei regime were placed on the plains under the Nanyin Mountain in the desert to graze, hence the name "Chile River" in Hohhot. "Chilechuan, shady mountain, the sky is like a vault, and the cage covers the field. The ancient poem "The sky is grey, the wild is boundless, the wind blows low and the cattle and sheep are low" depicts the beautiful and moving scenery of the place.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Hohhot was called "Hundred Roads and Rivers". In the Tang Dynasty, "DuDu Mansion in the Cloud" and "DuDu Mansion in Dingxiang" were set up, and "East Surrender City" was built near the county seat of Tuoketuo County. In the Tang Dynasty, "Hufu in the Cloud" was established, and later renamed as "Khan Hufu", which was in charge of the DuDu mansion in Yunzhong and Dingxiang. In 758 AD, the Tang Dynasty established an "invigorating army" in Lesheng. Since then, Hohhot was once called "Zhenwu Army".

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Hohhot Plain was called "Haruochuan" and was occupied by Qidan. At the beginning of 10 century, after the establishment of Liao State by Qidan, this area was originally located in Fengzhou, which was under the jurisdiction of Xijing Road (now Datong), and was later called "Fengzhou Beach".

/kloc-At the beginning of the 20th century, Nuzhen destroyed Liao Jinjian, and Hohhot was still called Fengzhou. It was a military town at that time and one of the cities with dense population and prosperous business.

After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, Fengzhou's economy and culture developed rapidly. Liu, a poet in the Yuan Dynasty, said: "The tower in the temple is high and clear, and the city goes upstairs at dawn. The noise of horses and chariots is less than the dust, and the songs and whips are slanting across Fengzhou. "This was a lively scene at that time.

At the end of 14, due to the war, "Fengzhou City", "Tuotuo City" (now Tuoketuo County) and "Black City" (now Tuoketuo County) moved in successively.

/kloc-At the beginning of the 6th century, Mongolian leader Dayan Khan unified the desert south. Alatan Khan, the grandson of Dayan Khan, led the Tumote Department to settle in Fengzhoutan Ranch during Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, and established Bansheng (which means government in Mongolian) in Hohhot on 1566 (forty-five years of Jiajing). Alatan turned an enemy into an enemy, launched a peaceful mutual market with the Central Plains, and accepted a large number of mainland Chinese. "Tianfeng Hundred Villages" has revived the agricultural and animal husbandry production here, and the commercial trade has also become active. Since then, Hohhot is famous for Tumochuan.

A.D. 1572 (the sixth year of Qin Long in Ming Dynasty), alatan Hanjian Civil Engineering City. After the completion of the city, it was named osmanthus city by the Ming court. This huge city, against the backdrop of mountains and rivers, presents a lush vitality. When the Mongolian people gave her a beautiful name-"Kuku and Tun", it meant "blue city". After the death of alatan Khan 158 1, his concubine Sannianzi contributed to the unity of people of all ethnic groups. In order to commemorate her, people also called Hohhot "Sanniangzi City".

/kloc-in the 1930s, in order to defend the frontier and further consolidate its rule in the northwest, the Qing government built a city five miles northeast of Guihua, named Suiyuan City. At that time, people called "Suiyuan" a new city and "Guihua City" an old city. In the Qing Dynasty, commerce in Cheng Guihua was quite prosperous. During the Kangxi period, the caravan of Hui people from Xinjiang, Gansu and Ningxia often lived in Guihua City, and the Hui people from Datong and Youyu in Shanxi also moved to Guihua City to settle down, gradually forming a city with mixed nationalities such as Mongolia, Han, Hui and Manchu.

To sum up, Hohhot has been in China since Qin Shihuang's old man's house.
