In the early Tang Dynasty, a young man wrote this famous saying: Old county in Yuzhang, new house in Hongdu. This young man is Wang Bo, one of the four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty. The city Wang Bo described is Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province. Yuzhang and Hong are both ancient names of Nanchang. Nanchang is exactly what Wang Bo said: There are many treasures and outstanding people in the world. From a historical perspective, it is inevitable that Nanchang will become the provincial capital of Jiangxi.

In the pre-Qin period, Nanchang belonged to the Chu State’s sphere of influence. When King Qin unified the country, Chu State was annexed by Qin State, and Jiangxi also entered Qin State. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang sent generals to take over the southern region. Therefore, Guanyin established a series of cities in the south, including the city of Nanchang: In Chinese history, Nanchang was founded from this era. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Yongjia Uprising broke out. The vast Jin Dynasty empire only left the Jiangdong region: First, Bashu broke away from the Jin Dynasty and established the Han Dynasty. Soon, the entire northern territory was occupied by the former Zhao. A large number of Jin Dynasty nobles and common people poured into Jiangdong, which was called the southward migration of clothing.

For China’s ethnic minorities, the Yongjia Uprising is undoubtedly a common star. However, it stimulated the development of the South to a certain extent. Nanchang had great development at this time. After the Tang Dynasty, Nanchang became one of the famous cities in the south of the Yangtze River through the accumulation of the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties. In the late Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Southern Tang Empire was at a disadvantage in its competition with the Later Zhou Dynasty. Facing the later Emperor Zhou Rong. The Southern Tang ceded the land north of the Yangtze River to the Later Zhou Dynasty. In order to avoid the military front of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the Southern Tang court announced that the capital would be moved to Nanchang: this was the most beautiful period in the history of ancient Nanchang.

In China at that time, the Southern Tang Dynasty was second only to the Later Zhou Dynasty and the Khitan. From the choice of Nanchang to move the capital, we can see the important status of Nanchang. During the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty established the provincial system. The name of Jiangxi Province began in the Yuan Dynasty. However, in the Yuan Dynasty, Jiangxi Province not only governed the entire Jiangxi Province today, but also governed Guangdong Province. The Yuan Dynasty had a vast territory and unprecedented provincial jurisdiction. During the Yuan Dynasty, Jiangxi Administrative Office was established in Nanchang. After the Ming and Qing dynasties, the provincial capital of Jiangxi has always been the provincial capital of Jiangxi. This situation continues to this day.
