Historical evolution of Guangzhou:

Legend has it that the earliest place name in Guangzhou is &”;Chuting&”; (or &”;Chuting&”;). Under the Sun Yat-sen Monument on the Yuexiu Mountain, there is still a stone archway built by the Qing Dynasty, which is engraved with the words &”;Chu Pavilion in ancient times&”;. Many historical records regard &”;Chuting&”; as the prototype of Guangzhou, and it is the earliest title of Guangzhou, which is 2847 years ago.

In Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, Guangzhou was called Guangzhou Road (Yuan Dynasty) and guangzhou fu (Ming and Qing Dynasties) successively, all of which were provinces (Guangdong Province was called Guangdong Road in Yuan Dynasty, Guangdong Chief Secretary in Ming Dynasty and Guangdong Province in Qing Dynasty). Although the administrative area changed, it was not big until the Qing Dynasty, when the administrative area of guangzhou fu was about 31,000 square kilometers.

Before liberation, when the Kuomintang ruled, Guangzhou was designated as a city and remained the seat of the provincial capital. The administrative area of Guangzhou is much smaller than that of previous historical periods. South to Henan Island and Fangcun, east to Chebei, and north to Baihuichang, covering an area of 248 square kilometers. After liberation, Guangzhou was once designated as a municipality directly under the central government, and in 1954, when the national administrative region was adjusted, it was changed to a provincial city.
