The predecessor of today's Langfang Municipal Government was the former Tianjin Regional Administrative Office of Hebei Province.

But just talking about the Tianjin Regional Administrative Office cannot explain the history of Langfang clearly.

Before that, Langfang had been under the jurisdiction of Yan since ancient times. It was under the jurisdiction of Guangyang County and Yuyang County in the Han Dynasty; it was under the jurisdiction of Youzhou, Hebei Province in the Tang Dynasty; it was under the capital of Zhongshu Province in the Yuan Dynasty; it was under the direct administration of the capital in the Ming Dynasty;

Shuntian Prefecture set up the Four-Road Feihu Hall in 1968. The six counties south of Anci in Langfang belonged to Beijing South Road, and Sanhe and Xianghe counties belonged to Beijing East Road. In the Republic of China, they belonged to Jingzhao Special Zone. At the beginning of liberation, they belonged to Tongzhou District of Hebei Province. In 1955, Hebei Province

Tongzhou City was changed to Tongzhou County and placed under the jurisdiction of Beijing City, and Langfang was changed to belong to the Tianjin Region of Hebei Province; in 1973, Wuqing and other five counties were placed under the jurisdiction of Tianjin City in the Tianjin Region of Hebei Province, and the Tianjin Regional Administrative Office moved to Langfang Town, An County; in 1981

In 1989, the Tianjin area of ??Hebei Province was renamed Langfang area, and Langfang town was upgraded to county-level Langfang City; in 1989, Langfang area and Langfang City merged, county-level Langfang City was abolished, and county-level Anci District was established. After the merger of prefectures and cities, prefecture-level Langfang was established.

city.

In 2000, Anci District was separated into one part and established as county-level Guangyang District.

Today's Langfang City belongs to Hebei Province and is a prefecture-level city. It consists of Anci District, Guangyang District, county-level Sanhe City, Bazhou City, Xianghe County, Gu'an County, Yongqing County, Wen'an County, Dacheng County, and Dachang County.

There are 10 county-level units in Hui Autonomous County.

(In the 1960s, Gu'an once belonged to the Baoding area; Beisan County once belonged to the Tangshan area).

The administrative affiliation of Langfang has changed many times, especially after liberation.

I don’t know if Langfang is the city with the most changes in administrative divisions in the country, but it is at least one of the cities with the most changes.

In just over 50 years, the counties under the jurisdiction of Langfang have belonged to three provincial-level units: Beijing City, Tianjin City, and Hebei Province, and five prefecture-level units: Tongzhou Area, Tianjin Area, Langfang Area/Langfang City, Baoding Area, and Tangshan Area.

unit.

The jurisdiction of Langfang is divided into northern and southern parts due to historical reasons. The three northern counties of Langfang are the largest inter-provincial enclave in the country, surrounded by Beijing and Tianjin, and are outside the main body of Hebei.

Langfang urban area is only connected to the main body of Hebei in the south, but across the Yongding River.

I've never quite understood why the accents in the north and south of Yongding River are so different in the same Anci County.

The urban area north of the Yongding River and Beisan County belong to the Mandarin dialect area of ??Beijing; the southern part belongs to the Hebei-Shandong dialect area. The accent of Anci Nanbaxiang is similar to that of a classmate from Tangshan I met at Hebei Agricultural University, but

He does not have a pure Tangshan accent.

There are two theories about the origin of the word "Langfang": one is "Langfa Temple" and the other is "Shilangfang".

I find the latter more believable.

Lu Duan, the Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, was from Anci, and his father Lu Zhi was worshiped as a minister. Lu Zhi's residence in Anci County was called the "Servant's House", or "Lang's House" for short. When the Jingshan Railway station was established, the station name was written as

"Langfang"; after liberation, it was unified as "Langfang".

The development of Langfang in modern times has gone through three important stages: the first was the establishment of a station in Langfang by the Jingshan Railway (Beijing-Shanhaiguan) in 1898, which became the beginning of the development of modern Langfang.

In 1900, the Eight-Power Allied Forces landed at Dagukou in Tianjin and invaded Beijing along the Jingshan Line. They encountered a counterattack by the Boxer Rebellion along the railway line from Langfang to Luoda. The important Boxer Rebellion in Langfang in modern Chinese history occurred near Langfang Railway Station.

Great victory event.

Today, there is a high mound of earth in Jianduzhuang Village, west of Langfang Old Railway Station, which is said to be the general platform where the Boxers practiced military exercises.

This is the first time that the word "Langfang" is closely linked with Chinese history.

The second time was in 1951, when Langfang Town was established in Anci County. The original Anci County seat was flooded by the Yongding River, and the county seat was moved to Langfang Town, and Langfang became the county-level administrative center.

The third time was in 1973, when the Tianjin Regional Administrative Office moved from Tianjin City to Langfang Town (the Tianjin Regional Administrative Office was originally located in the Shijia Courtyard in Yangliuqing Town, which is now the Yangliuqing Museum, and later the office moved to Tianjin City), and Langfang became a city.

In 1981, Langfang Town was promoted to county-level Langfang City, and Langfang truly became a city. In 1989, the country implemented a new policy of merging prefectures and cities, with cities leading counties. Langfang area merged with the original county-level Langfang City, and Langfang was promoted to a prefecture-level city.

level city.

For Langfang to become a prefecture-level administrative center, I think geographical location plays a decisive role.

Because before Langfang became the seat of the Tianjin Regional Administrative Office, Langfang/Anci was not much larger than other counties in Langfang, especially Shengfang Town in Ba County. In the 1950s, it was one of the three largest towns in Tianjin (Yangliuqing, Hangu

, Shengfang, the other two are now Xiqing District and Hangu District of Tianjin). At that time, most of the commissioners of the Tianjin Regional Administrative Office were from Ba County. It can be seen that Ba County is the best location for the Tianjin/Langfang Prefectural Committee.

Moreover, the relationship between Ba County and Tianjin is closer. Shengfang in Ba County is the closest to Tianjin city, only 2 or 30 kilometers away, even closer than the distance between Yanjiao and Beijing (but Tianjin’s influence is not as great as Beijing).

At that time, Langfang had only been a county seat for 20 years.

But the advantage of being located at the midpoint along the Beijing-Tianjin line gave Langfang the opportunity to become a real city.

Langfang is the tenth prefecture-level city established in Hebei Province, so the ID number of Langfang is 1310, Anci District is 131001, and Guangyang District is 131002. Generally speaking, the district where the municipal government is located should be numbered 01, but Guangyang

The history of the district does not include Mayor Anji, so it was compiled as 02.

The telephone area code of Langfang is 0316. The telephone area codes of Hebei Province are arranged from north to south.

Langfang's postal code is 065000, but before 1995, the Beijing Bureau's postal code was 102800.
