Nanchang is
the ancient city in the southern part of China.
It was built as a city in 201BC. In the ancient
times, Nanchang was the prosperous land in Jiangnan,
so it got its name. In the past, it was called Yuzhang
and Hongdu too.
In the New Stone Time, there were some primitive
tribes in Nanchang. After emperor Qin unified China,
Nanchang belonged to Jiujiang canton. And at that
time, it wasn't a city. In the period of Three Kingdoms,
two Jins, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Nanchang
still belonged to Yuzhang canton. The urban district
had got great development and there were some temples
in the suburbs. In Tang dynasty, it was called Hongdu,
and it was the government office of Hongdu manager
office, Dudu office and Jiangnan Xidao. In Yuan
dynasty, Nanchang became Longxing Road; it was the
government office of Xingzhoungshu province. In
the early period of Qing dynasty, it was changed
into Nanchang office, and belonged to Nanruidao.
In 1926, North-Against Troops got into Nanchang,
and from then on, it became a city.
Nanchang has fine tradition of revolution. The famous
Nanchang Rebellion broke out here.
There are some historical relics in Nanchang, such
as King Teng Attic and the headquarters of the famous
Nanchang Rebellion.
