Hebei

A chapter in Regional China, 2013, pp 108-117 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Hebei is a province of the PRC in north China. The name means “north of the river”, referring to its location completely above the Yellow River. Its abbreviated name is Ji after the ancient prefecture “Ji” (Jizhou), which included the southern part of present-day Hebei. A common (unofficial) alternate name is “Yanzhao,” which is after the Yan and the Zhao — two kingdoms that existed during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (771-221 BC). In 1928, Hebei was formed after central government dissolved the province of Zhili (which means “directly ruled by the Imperial Court”).
