History

In 201, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty established a county

in the territory of modern Ganzhou. In those early years, ethnic

Han settlement and authority in the area was minimal and

largely restricted to the Gan River basin. The river, a tributary

of the Yangtze River via Poyang Lake, provided a route of

communication from the north as well as irrigation for rice

farming.

During the Sui Dynasty the county administration was promoted

to prefecture status and the area called Qianzhou (虔州).

During the Song Dynasty immigration from the north bolstered

the local population and drove local aboriginal tribes further

into the hills. Especially after the fall of the Northern Song

capital of Kaifeng, migrants increased dramatically. The name

was officially changed to Ganzhou in the Southern Song.

During the late 1800s Ganzhou was opened as one of the

southern treaty ports and became a minor base for foreign

companies. Between 1929 and 1934, Ganzhou formed a part of

the Jiangxi Soviet, one of the bases of the Communist Party of

China. Due to its proximity to the Red capital Ruijin, Ganzhou

was subject to a number of Kuomintangencirclement campaigns.

Between 1939 and 1945, Chiang Ching-kuo was appointed by the

Government of the Republic of China as commissioner of Gannan

Prefecture (贛南), then the name of the surrounding regions of

Ganzhou. There he banned smoking, gambling and prostitution,

studied governmental management, allowed for economic

expansion and a change in social outlook. His efforts were hailed

as a miracle in the political war in China, then coined as the

"Gannan New Deal" (贛南新政). During his time in Gannan, from

1940 he implemented a "public information desk" where

ordinary people could visit him if they had problems, and

according to records, Chiang Ching-kuo received a total of 1,023

people during such sessions in 1942. In regards to the ban on

prostitution and closing of brothels, Chiang implemented a policy

where former prostitutes became employed in factories. Due to

the large number of refugees in Ganzhou as a result from the

ongoing war, thousands of orphans lived on the street; in June

1942, Chiang Ching-kuo formally established the Chinese

Children's Village (中華兒童新村) in the outskirts of Ganzhou,

with facilities such as a nursery, kindergarten, primary school,

hospital and gymnasium.

thousand years ago. Before the Qin Dynasty (221BC-206BC) put

it under the administration of Jiujiang Shire, Ganzhou was a

part of the Chu Kingdom in the Warring States Period

(476BC-221BC). By the Three Kingdoms Period (220-280), a

city-level administrative apparatus had been established, which

is said to be the initiation of city-level governing bodies in

Scenic Spots:

treasury of the ancient grotto art in South China. It holds the

largest complex of cliff grottos of Jiangxi Province, with

entirely 279 stone cases in the cliffsides and 359 stone

Buddhas, most of which are engraved during the Tang and Song

dynasties. Since the Song Dynasty, cliffside inscriptions of

poets and scholars had existed over nine hundred years.

Perfectly set off by the surrounding natural sceneries, Tongtian

Cliff is an ever pleasant summer resort.

Meiguan Ancient Post Road: In order to promote the trade

communication, the Tang Court constructed the post road, the

passage merchants of Jiangxi and Guangdong must take. Two

thousand years later, it is still kept intact. December or

florescence of plum blossom all over the hill and dale. The

ancient post road is superior choice for tourists fond of

tranquility and something redolent of the past.
