明清时期安徽地区行政区划变迁

Administrative Division Change of Anhui at the Ming and Qing Dynasties

当今安徽的行政区划在明朝时期初具雏形,在清朝时正式设立。明朝时期安徽全境首次被纳入一个行政区划,凤阳府的设置和督抚辖区的划分,使得安徽省的轮廓逐渐清晰起来。清朝康熙六年(1667)苏皖分省,安徽省在历史上始出现,经过雍正年间对省以下州府县的调整,安徽省的政区机构大致确定。经历了明清五百余年,从无到有再到逐渐形成一个完整独立的行政系统,安徽地区行政区划的这些变化背后蕴含着许多社会和政治问题,了解这些变化的原因,对当今安徽省的经济社会发展和行政资源配置有着积极意义。

The administrative division of Anhui has been developed primitively at Ming Dynasty and more official at Qing Dynasty. Anhui areas were included into a whole administrative division. The contour became clearer when Fengyang was made the capital city. In 1667, Su and Wan were made provinces. Anhui Province stepped on the history stage. The administrative institutions were set after the administrative adjustment at Yongzheng time. Its complete and independent administrative system, from zero to completion, covered five hundred years. Many social and political issues were hided in the changes of administrative division. Understanding this may contribute to Anhui＇ s social economic development and administrative resource distribution.
