Brief History of Heilongjiang Province

Heilongjiang was under the administration of Lingbei and Liaoyang Xingzhongshu Province during China's Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) and belonged to the Nuzen (Nuchen) nationality in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The Province of Heilongjiang was set up in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and has remained so until today.

Large in area and rich in natural resources, Heilongjiang has a vast expanse of fertile land. As is commonly known, "half of its area is covered by mountains, one tenth by water, one tenth by grassland and three-tenths by arable land". In the old days, however, Heilongjiang was an uninhabited wilderness with abundant untapped resources. The Imperial Government of the Qing and later the Japanese aggressors sent in settlers and troops to develop the area but ended up in failure. Over the years, Heilongjiang Province was known as "the Vast Wilderness of the North". After the defeat of Japanese imperialism, the people of Heilongjiang started to rebuild their province upon the ruins brought by the war.

Heilongjiang has undergone tremendous changes since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. Several million hectares of farmland have been opened in the vast wilderness.  Oilfield, many forestry towns, modern transportation network consisting of railway and highways has been built. Former "the Vast Wilderness of the North" has been turned into an important industrial and agricultural base of China.
