Old photos of Xing’an Province during the Republic of China

Maybe many people don’t know that there was another Xing’an Province in the northeast of China during the Republic of China, which should start with the puppet Manchukuo

It was said that on March 9, 1932, after the founding of the puppet Manchukuo, the Hulun Buir region under the jurisdiction of Heilongjiang Province was included in the newly established Xing’an Province, and later the administrative regions of Xing’an Province were divided into four sub provinces: the eastern, southern, northern and western provinces of Xing’an. Different from Fengtian, Jilin and Heilongjiang, Xing’an Province does not have a separate provincial office, nor does it have a provincial office. Xing’an Bureau of the State Council is responsible for the functions of the provincial office. On December 17 of the same year, according to the order of the pseudo Ministry of Civil Affairs, the four counties of Hulun, Lubin, Shiwei and Qiqian in Heilongjiang Province were included in the Xing’an North Branch

On January 19, 1933, the three counties (bureaus) of Yalu, Buxi and Soren were officially incorporated into Xing’an East Sub province; The Zhalaite Banner will be included in the southern Xing’an Province. According to the administrative division table of Xing’an Province published in July 1933, Xing’an East, South, West and North provinces have jurisdiction over 27 banners, counties and cities

On October 1, 1943, Xing’an General Province and Wangyemiao Street, the capital of Xing’an Province, were established to govern the original administrative regions of Xing’an East, South, West and North provinces, including 2 cities, 4 counties and 25 banners. The total area of the province is 433920 square kilometers

Until the victory of the Anti Japanese War in 1945, when the puppet Manchukuo was destroyed, the organizational system of Xing’an Province naturally disintegrated and disappeared in front of the wheel of history

The following group of old postcards recorded the styles and features of various places in Xing’an Province at that time. Welcome to read them:
