In p>1968, after high-level discussion, Shijiazhuang was determined to be more suitable as the capital of Hebei Province. Since then, Baoding has ceased to be the capital of Hebei Province, and the unknown Shijiazhuang has become the new capital of Hebei Province.

According to historical inheritance, Baoding should be more suitable as the capital of Hebei than Shijiazhuang.

Baoding, located in the south of Yan and the north of Zhao, is the legendary hometown of Emperor Yao, with a history of more than 3, years. The city can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

in the northern Wei dynasty, Baoding was set as Qingyuan county, and later upgraded to Taizhou in the Tang dynasty. In the northern song dynasty, it became a military fortress and was renamed as Baozhou. In the Yuan dynasty, it was renamed as Baoding Road, which became the origin of the name. In the Kangxi period of the Qing dynasty, it officially became the capital of Hebei.

Baoding, as the provincial capital, has experienced four periods. The first was the Qing government period from 1669 to 1913. During this period, Baoding was called Baoding Road or Baoding House, which was the seat of the governor's office in Zhili and the military important place in North China controlled by the Qing Dynasty.

The second was the Republic of China from 1935 to 1947, which was the administrative office of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Government Self-government Committee and the seat of the North China Self-government supported by the Japanese, and the Japanese took it as the center of aggression in North China.

The third period was the early days of the People's Republic of China from 1949 to 1958. During this period, China chose to continue the tradition of Baoding as the provincial capital.

the last one was from 1966 to 1968, when the provincial capital moved back to Baoding from Tianjin. A * * * has a history of more than two hundred years, which is really a long time.

compared with Baoding, Shijiazhuang was formally established in 1925, and has been a county since then, with much less cultural background.

Then why should we move the capital city of Hebei Province from Baoding to Shijiazhuang later?

There are several main reasons:

First, geographical location. Baoding is located in the north of Hebei province, which is too far north, which is not conducive to exchanges and exchanges with the south of Hebei province and is not convenient to promote its economic development. The city of Shijiazhuang has a unique location.

located in the center of Hebei province, it is an important transportation hub, with Shanxi in the west, Henan in the south, Beijing in the north and Bohai in the east. It can be called the heart of Hebei province, with excellent traffic conditions.

if Shijiazhuang is designated as the capital of Hebei province, the economic development and external communication of Hebei province will be far better than Baoding in the north. Out of long-term vision, Baoding, which has a long history, was abandoned.

the second is the industrial economic base. Shijiazhuang is a transportation hub, with convenient industrial development and good industrial basic conditions, and its position is very important in that era when industry was emphasized. On the other hand, Baoding itself is not as developed as Shijiazhuang, and its industry is not as good as Baoding, but it is just a famous historical city.

Since Shijiazhuang replaced Baoding as the provincial capital, Baoding has been affected politically and economically.

at the policy level, Baoding no longer has the previous policy advantages. Because it is no longer the provincial capital, Baoding is no longer valued as before, and its development priority is not as good as that of the provincial capital. Many plans and policies will be implemented in Baoding relatively late. At the same time, from the provincial administrative center to the regional administrative center, the nature and orientation of the city become uncertain.

on the economic level, due to the loss of policy advantages and the uncertainty of urban development goals, Baoding, which was not strong at first, developed more slowly and became a second-tier city.

At the same time, Baoding lost a lot of market and purchasing power because it was abolished as the provincial capital. If it is a provincial capital city, there will be more foreign investment, more enterprises, more migrant workers, a much larger population, a much better market prospect, stronger purchasing power and a much better economy.

not only that, Baoding's fiscal revenue and expenditure have also been affected. As a provincial capital city, Baoding should have more income from taxes, bonds, services, commerce, industry, etc., but the cancellation of the provincial capital has made Baoding's income much less. Without these incomes, Baoding's urban construction and economy will be affected accordingly.

to this day, quite a few Baoding people are still worried about the change of the provincial capital from Baoding to Shijiazhuang. These Baoding citizens sincerely hope that Baoding will become the provincial capital again and regain its former status and glory.

However, the development speed of Shijiazhuang in these years has far surpassed that of Baoding, and both economy and industry are stronger than Baoding.

Therefore, it is really difficult for Baoding to become the capital of Hebei again.
