History

[edit]

Jiading was historically a separate polity from Shanghai until it came under the administration of Shanghai in 1958. In 1993, Jiading's designation was changed from a county to a district within Shanghai.[2]

During the early Qing dynasty, which overlapped with the Southern Ming, the municipality was infamous for the "Jiading Massacre" carried out by invading Qing forces led by the general Li Chengdong [zh], who had defected from the bandits.[3][4] Jiading was also known for banditry: in a 1853 rebellion caused by taxation, bandits captured the city and then Shanghai.[5]

In 2005, the Jiading district government invested CN¥10 million to build the Shanghai Museum of the Imperial Examination System.[6]
