Brief History of Liaoning Province
The Province of Liaoning has a long history behind it. As early as 1600 B.C, what is the Province now was already part of the territory of the Shang Dynasty (1766 B.C. to 1122 B.C.). In the various dynasties that followed, administrative set-ups were established here, thus leaving many historical relics for today. The Province is the birthplace of the Manchu nationality, boating many well-preserved imperial palaces and tombs built in the Manchu style in the early days of Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

Liaoning was once a colony of imperialism. From the late 19th century to the 1940s, Russian and Japanese aggressors carried out frenzied wars here, plunging the Chinese people into deep miseries. The imperialists exploited cheap labor. And local industries had a very strong colonial nature, with no processing capabilities at all. In the 1940's, amidst the flames of Chinese people's struggle for national liberation, imperialism was overthrown in the Northeast and Liaoning was liberated. Now Liaoning Province has been turned into a centre of heavy industry with metallurgy, machine-building, coal, electricity, petroleum and industry as the main branches.
