History
[edit]The area of present-day Jishishan County was formerly inhabited by the Qiang and the Xirong peoples.[6]
During the Warring States period, the Qin annexed the territory of present-day Jishishan County.[6] In 278 BCE, it was incorporated into the Longxi Commandery as Fuhan County (Chinese: 枹罕县; pinyin: Fúhǎn Xiàn).[6] This organizational structure continued into the Western Han.[6]
In 81 BCE, Longxi Commandery was reorganized as Jincheng Commandery, and Fuhan County was placed under its jurisdiction.[6] In 60 BCE, the county was reorganized as Heguan County (Chinese: 河关县; pinyin: Héguān Xiàn).[6]
During the Eastern Han, under the Liang Province Governor's Department, the area was reorganized under the jurisdiction of Fuhan County and Heguan County.[6] In 36 CE, Jincheng Commandery was merged into Longxi Commandery.[6]
In 184 CE, Song Jian led local Qiang forces to rebel against the Han dynasty during the Liang Province rebellion.[6] Song Jian ruled over the area for the subsequent 30 years.[6] Song Jian's reign ended in 214 CE, when Cao Cao successfully sent general Xiahou Yuan to re-establish Han dynasty control over the area.[6]
Following the fall of the Han dynasty, the area of present-day Jishishan fell under the jurisdiction of Cao Wei.[6]
After the Cao Wei, the area was incorporated into the Western Jin under the Qín Prefecture.[6] Around 301–302 CE, Liang Province governor Zhang Gui carved out a portion of Xiping Commandery to establish Jinxing Commandery, which governed the area.[6] Within Jinxing Commandery, present-day Jishishan County was organized as Linjin County (Chinese: 临津县; pinyin: Línjīn Xiàn).[6]
Sixteen Kingdoms period
[edit]During the subsequent Sixteen Kingdoms period, the area of present-day Jishishan County changed hands frequently. It was first conquered by the Former Liang, then by the Han-Zhao, then by the Later Zhao, then the Former Qin, then the Later Qin, then the Western Qin, and finally the Later Liang.[6] In 412 CE, it was brought into the folds of the Northern Wei, which organized it as part of the Jianchang Commandery.[6] Upon the collapse of the Western Qin in 431 CE, the area was conquered by the Tuyuhun.[6] In 445 CE, it was reconquered by the Northern Wei.[6] Following the collapse of the Northern Wei, the area was a part of the short-lived Western Wei.[6] In 546 CE, under the Western Wei, He Province governor Yang Kuan reorganized the area as Fenglin County.[6] During the Northern Zhou, the area was split between Fenglin County and Fuhan County.[6]
Sui dynasty
[edit]In the early parts of the subsequent Sui dynasty, the area belonged to the Fuhan Commandery.[6] The Fuhan Commandery was transferred to the jurisdiction of He Province in 583 CE, and then abolished altogether in 607 CE, and replaced by Linjing County.[6]
Tang dynasty
[edit]The Tang dynasty established control over the area in 619 CE, and placed it under the jurisdiction of He Province.[6] In 631 CE, the area was included in the newly established Mi Province, which was abolished in 636 CE, and replaced with Michuan County (Chinese: 米川县; pinyin: Mǐchuān Xiàn), which fell under the jurisdiction of He Province.[6] The following year, part of the area was included in the newly established Anxiang County (Chinese: 安乡县; pinyin: Ānxiāng Xiàn).[6] In 655 CE, Michuan County was moved north, and in 676 CE, Anxiang County was moved west.[6] Following these changes, the area of present-day Jishishan County was divided between Anxiang County and Fuhan County.[6] Later, the area was assigned to the Longyou Jiedushi, a form of military government.[6] In 742 CE, Anxiang County was replaced by Fenglin County, which was placed under the jurisdiction of Anxiang Commandery, in He Province.[6]
Tibetan Empire and Song dynasty
[edit]In 762 CE, the area was conquered by the Tibetan Empire.[6] In 848 CE, Tang dynasty general Zhang Yichao led a rebellion against the Tibetan Empire, and briefly conquered the area of He Province.[6] The Tibetan Empire regained control of it shortly thereafter.[6] The area belonged to the Tibetan Empire until the late 11th century, when general Wang Shao conquered the area for the Song dynasty.[6] It was reincorporated as part of He Province.[6]
Jin dynasty
[edit]The area was then conquered by the Jin dynasty in 1131.[6] Under the Jin dynasty, the area became part of the newly formed Jishi Prefecture.[6]
Mongol Empire
[edit]In 1226, the Mongol Empire conquered the Western Xia, and conquered He Province and Jishi Prefecture.[6]
Yuan dynasty
[edit]In the subsequent Mongol-led Yuan dynasty, the area was incorporated as part of Gongchang Circuit (Chinese: 巩昌路; pinyin: Gǒngchāng Lù).[6] In 1269, He Province was replaced by Hezhou Circuit (Chinese: 河州路; pinyin: Hézhōu Lù).[6]
Ming dynasty
[edit]The area was conquered by Ming dynasty general Deng Yu in 1370.[6] It was placed under military governance the following year.[6] The area's government organized it using the lijia system.[6] Civil governance was installed in 1373, and the area was organized as Anxiang County, which was under the jurisdiction of Hezhou Fu (Chinese: 河州府; pinyin: Hézhōu Fǔ).[6] In 1473, He Province was re-established.[6]
Qing dynasty
[edit]
In the early Qing dynasty, He Province was put under the jurisdiction of Lintao Fu.[6] The local government stopped using the lijia system in 1705, and replaced it with the huishe system (Chinese: 会社制; pinyin: huìshè zhì).[6] In 1762, He Province was revoked, and replaced with Xunhua Subprefecture.[6]
Republic of China
[edit]Upon the establishment of the Republic of China in 1912, the area was reorganized as Lanshan Circuit, in Gansu province.[6] In 1913, Lintao Fu was abolished, and the area was reorganized as Daohe County (Chinese: 导河县; pinyin: Dǎohé Xiàn).[6] In 1929, Daohe County was reorganized as Linxia County.[6] Following this change, the area of present-day Jishishan County was split between Linxia County and nearby Xunhua County.[6]
People's Republic of China
[edit]In August 1949, the area was captured by the People's Liberation Army, and became part of the People's Republic of China.[6]
At the end of 1958, Linxia County was merged into the city of Linxia, although this would be reverted in 1961.[6]
On 14 June 1980, Jishishan Bonan, Dongxiang and Salar Autonomous County was established.[6]
Jishishan County was the site of the epicenter of an earthquake which killed 146 people on 18 December 2023.[7][8]
