there involves a lot of National History and border control, and now slowly come.
disappearance of a province - Xikang



Xikang is the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China was established early a province, mainly under the jurisdiction of the eastern and western Sichuan now, in most parts of Tibet is a Tibetan-based ethnic enclaves . When the Northern Government in the 22 provinces of the peripheral Rehe, Chahar, Suiyuan, Kawabe and several other special areas, and later the National Government and turn them Ningxia, Qinghai, built for the six provinces, and especially the Kawabe converted into Xikang area.

Kang Province whole story and Qamdo Status:

Qing Dynasty in the 1908--1911 years, cancel all toast River side, to set up house, hall, states, counties, and took the opportunity to enter the Tibetan border, the Qamdo area, pull in cloth and work areas, and Bomi area, together with the official re-established flow, the proposed four, ten prefecture, as a province, and has been repaired Yamen in Batang. Fu Mu responsible for the high Kawanabe, the author of "Kang Province in mind."
In the first year (1911) stationed in Tibet Han chaos, have to leave home, the Dalai Lama instigated thirteen Tibetans deported Han officials, temporary occupation rule has been set too Sho (gongbo'gyamda), Jiali (Larry food station ), Master Governor (more like a large), Cheminova (Sangang song cases), 5 Caya County and Bomi area does not have a rule to stay in Kawabe old military side hold a tile Mountains, retains the Lancang River Watershed East. 1917 local government of Tibet and a massive attack, capture Qamdo in 1918, after the march Caya, Gongjue, quiet, Wu Cheng, with the S & P, Dege, white, Deng Ke, Shiqu County, in the "truce" Zang said the country will be placed under military occupation. In early 1931, the Tibetan local military and a massive attack, sometimes occupying Garze, looking Luhuo County of counties and part of the military counter-attack after being Kang, defeated return Jinsha River, signed a peace treaty, the two parties to the Jinsha River garrison boundaries, Sichuan Dege back side, white, Dengke Jiang East and Shiqu, Garze, looking technology. But Baan (Batang) County of Jiangxi and salt well occupied by the Tibetan army.
liberation, Qamdo Xikang nominally belong, in fact Sai political culture can not be communicated to the local Tibetan prepared, I checked a lot of literature, in 1954 years ago, it has been listed in Qamdo Xikang name, such as: Qamdo area called "Xikang Qamdo people's liberation Committee," "brochure (1954)" and "World knowledge (1953)" are not to separate Qamdo, and 1955, "the State Council on the construction of places of Tibet to help matters."

1951 Nian 12 Yue Tibet Qamdo Qamdo including military garrison, Ding Qing garrison shows from 1951 to Qamdo belongs to the local Tibetan, so I Xikang evolution is not included in Qamdo.


Kang Province, Ming and Qing Dynasties have initiative, but not implemented. Qing Emperor Kangxi 39 years (1700), and the Department of Special Master camp officer killed in Kangding Ming is toast, the Qing government sent the Sichuan prefect suppression, captured Kangding, toast and down the east of Yalong River, east of the Yalong River included in the sphere of influence of Sichuan, called "fireside" areas.

Thus, when the Yuan and Ming Kang area will be divided into three parts. In part, by River called "fireside" area, is a reservoir referred to as "Cameroon wood" ( "health" of different translations); Yunnan section called "Tong Jian."
Qing Dynasty, because the Western powers step up the pace of Tibet aggression, coupled with malpractice chieftain system more and more prominent in the Qing Chao Chieftain, while the establishment of the Sichuan-Yunnan side besar to strengthen governance Kham, built Yamen in Batang. It intends to be included in the original Tibetan areas in Yunnan, after the development of the situation due to the unrealized. In the Sichuan-Yunnan Frontier Minister Chao forge business, "Kawabe" territory under its jurisdiction has returned to the health area range (except Yunnan) Yuan Ming, or even recover the original matter has always belonged to a few areas, such as the three rock, Bomi and other places, to the east until today gongbo'gyamda (taizhao). Xuantong three years (1911), the Qing decided to side under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Justice to establish a "Xikang", "health" refers to the original names, "West" means the territory of the Western countries. Xikang jurisdiction throughout "Tachienlu east, west Danda summit ended, the count of more than 3,000 years; south Weixi, Zhongdian; north to Gansu Xining, count more than 4,000 years."

1939 in Kangding, only a remote town in inland China, but it is the generation of dignity Wenhui full cast their political ambitions biggest stage and base. Under his painstaking efforts, it had devastated the western town, a rapid political edge to the political center, Sai community embarked on the road to economic frontier from the center of the process. But in this update, but has a lingering embarrassment and frustration.

1939, the Sino-Japanese War broke out have been for two years. January first, the provisional capital of Chongqing was extremely busy: Master of Public pool Stadium War to promote its founding General Assembly; open-air concerts in Central Park, Military Commission Guo, director of the Political Department of the Office of the third speech to the meeting, Chinese studio choir concert the chorus of the song War.

Kangding but for this day deserves to be carefully written down in history: the Kuomintang government a new province - Xikang established, Kangding is its capital.

surfaced of a new province

1933 In the fall, Liu Wenhui and Liu Xiang's nephew war in full swing, Liu Wenhui got hit, and soon defeated, retreated all the way to Ya'an. In Ya'an, eight words he used to describe himself at the scene: "The most difficult situation, precarious." However, a local priest versed in astrology surgery but gave him a mystery full of words: "life begins at 40."

40 years is indeed a turning point, the year when the director of the Committee Liu Wenhui Kang Province. January 1, 1939, in Sichuan Kangding remote barren, 44-year-old Liu Wenhui got his wish, by the Kuomintang government officially appointed as governor Xikang.


1939 Nian Yuanyue Kangding, Liu Wenhui order to express their loyalty to Chiang Kai-shek, when the civil war to make up the gap left behind, the street surface covered with the popular slogans and portraits of Chiang Kai-shek, he deliberately Kangding widest a street named "the street." To highlight a Province festivity, decorated around the street, flags flying.

January Xikang inaugural meeting was held in Kangding outside a Pingba, large scale spectacle. Military uniform soldier, wearing a hat officials, monks and people, almost the whole city out. On the podium, the President of the General Assembly Wenhui sitting in the middle, left and right of officials participating, high officials and county magistrate.

when Liu Wenhui give a speech, lanky and flabby cheeks, he changed the formerly depressed and low-key, on stage to explain their grand ambitions for the new province identified goal: "to the hinterland of the frontier" mainland provinces and cities to catch up with the level of anti-Japanese rear area to better take on the task.



of frontier hinterland

1939 years of Kangding, it appears as a new province, there has been little political revitalization of the weather. Led military origin Wenhui Daily adhere to a meeting of office, office chairs sit bitter, and many rules he set a functioning political institutions and, indeed, received the results. 1939 Xikang provincial government, the Office of the Director of each day, in addition to outside the office, respectively, will be at 12: 00-13: 00 led by the Chairman of the Joint Wenhui office, will be an important event on the spot immediate solution, not transfer workers to send and receive convey, efficiency lot.

Baoding military school background, he knows well the importance of education. In 1939 Kangding National Teachers College students in a speech, he said to the students with a rare warmth tone: "You students, promising, promising, our country really need you, you are our country .


rising star of the year, with around Kangding Xikang a great landscape is: simple and luxurious government school which happens to prove that Liu Wenhui sentence: official construction can not be better than the local school, or the officials on the spot . removed from office in 1939, even Wenhui Xikang provincial government also simple, almost primitive: the gate was opened, did not set a portal, mottled stone pillars in front of brick, writing "provincial government" behind the archway, had to use a few gigantic wooden beams supported on both sides, in order to avoid this dilapidated building came crashing down. Liu himself is so much importance to education, that same year, the county magistrate Zhao Guotai Baan table himself loyal to the governor does not Second, the person to the local elementary school substitute teach, became a Mandarin teacher.

1939, the city of Kangding just an installed capacity of 50 kilowatts of small hydropower stations in the Russian Gu Peter's narratives, Kangding when many houses and shops Although equipped with sufficient light bulb, but the symbolism is far better than its bulb practical power station generators often damaged, because the power is too small while the load is too large, very bright lights in the night start, but slowly become down dark, long night continued into the vague hint of dark red light. when the shops, restaurants, cinemas were closed, people began to go back to sleep, the lights will suddenly lit up, thereby burning . many bulbs

Kangding ancient City dihydrate clip stream, river surging to become the best in the eyes of the development of natural resources Wenhui Kangding, October 25, 1939, Xikang famous "Kang guide Monthly" published a news: government to create a new 500 kW hydroelectric plant outside the city of Kangding liters Air village. its generator is shipped from the United States, since the outbreak of the Pacific War, it took two years, and only then brought into the generator Kangding .

However, it moves in a series of innovations including the construction of hydroelectric power plants, the Wenhui but face a huge contradiction: money liters Air Station before and spent a total of one hundred million yuan, Liu Wenhui spent almost all the time Kangding bank funds and, finally, their own money to come up with a sum of money not only to build hydropower stations, undone Xikang everywhere need money.



Kozo tea company was born, Chiang family exit

solution, Liu Wenhui thought : remediation "brick tea trade."

20 1930, has become the center of world-famous Kangding Tibetan and Chinese trade is one with Shanghai, Wuhan, par three commercial port. According to the relevant records, 1939 Kangding shipped to the mainland wool 40 kg, 1200 kg of musk, skins 40,000 Zhang, Chinese caterpillar fungus, Fritillaria and other expensive medicines accumulated about 15 kilograms; the Mainland and 330 000 tea bag cloth 100,000, flour, two green oil accumulated nearly 80 kilograms. A projectile town, because Tibetan trade became business battleground.

Thus, shortly after taking office, he hastily set up Xikang largest "Kozo Tea Co.," and requires that all merchants will be to unify the company's Kozo tea, selling tea to Tibet is not allowed without permission.

decision Wenhui, for large merchants Xikang, is a watershed from the gloom and doom. For example, Ya'an Yingjing Chiang family. The large tea, Jiaqing years from filing in Beijing "Please quote" set up shop to do tea date, almost sunny way of doing business.

until 1939, Ya'an brick tea every year more than 600 kilograms, the highest annual output of as much as 830 kilograms, of which Chiang tea industry occupies a large part.

But "Kozo Tea Co., Ltd." was established, the company's announcement, the operating side after tea trade has put plainly: control the purchase and sale, merchants shares, the original Doo five meters a load of tea prices down to two meters bucket . At the same time, due to the low purchase price, farmers have cut down tea switch to other crops and forced farmers to plant opium warlord, cut tobacco season is precisely when picking season, farmers cut tobacco altogether neglect tea, tea business never seems bad Done.

So "public Hing tea shops" stores within stores, Chiang brothers made a bold decision: not to join the "Kozo Tea Company," putting money to do a distant relative of the silk business. Stop running soon because ginger tea to Tibet, Tibetan monks to drink ginger tea, "Doug true benevolence", this has also sent Yingjing to take tea. Since re-entering from Kangding via Ya'an Tibetan roads were dominated Liu Wenhui, were forced to choose a human temple unheard of roads will be "true benevolence Doug" transported into Tibet: tea porters from back-to-Yingjing Ya'an, Leshan to take a bamboo raft, sail across to Wuhan, and then transported to Guangzhou by train, then by ocean-going ships to India, and finally into Tibet from India. The transport although successful, but because transport costs were too high in Tibet's monasteries transported through this time and have not come through after the ginger.


1939 year end, it had an annual turnover of hundreds of thousands of brick tea taels of silver, was called the business tycoons of ginger tea trade exit. Along with "true benevolence Doug" brand disappeared, along with the development of new Xikang province, folk tea Kangding large as the Tea-Horse Road transfer station, catch the foot operation history of tea, in a sense disappeared.



harm than opium trade

tea can be placed in the transaction clear surface, and opium, is secretly open the "Flowers of Evil." Indeed, in the 1930s until Xikang Kangding, it is undoubtedly the golden age of flourishing opium drug.

1939, the studies of Huang's return to Sichuan Water Conservancy Bureau committee Beach Road engineers, surveyors identity captain, is field reconnaissance upper Yangtze River in Sichuan Province and all major tributaries. In the future report he wrote: "the Yangtze River in the Syrian government (Yibin) above, called the Jinsha River, stretching thousands of miles upstream straight Sai Qinghai, all the way to rolling hills, falter, almost equal to its waterfront every mountain , rugged road, Mo this is staggering. "

same is between May and June this year, Huang's father also Huangyanpei Sichuan. He inspected by the Kuomintang government assignment Xikang rather as a regional, local government and the local warlords witness simply plunder the wealth with pockets of Minbukanming, flood frequency from banditry everywhere, planting opium, Tai flooding, had bitterly poetry " Xichang, "says:".. Bank suburb of Austin, I had a village shop owner load carrying opium; west storage reservoir opium elders sigh and asked me, saying: kill Kazuya opium youth crying and told me, saying: I die zai! opium! I wish for us to have him in sight, do not forget Diji passed Huxiang line. "

1939 years in Kangding, the face of the country's opium ban order, Liu Wenhui often held" prohibiting "the Assembly, the main two major issues: First, the ban "private land", the second is to sell "public land." The goal is to maintain a monopoly on opium warlord regime, making this the most profitable opium trade industry, rests in their own hands, to maximize their wealth from the opium.


According to statistics, in the Kang vast land, widespread opium cultivation, opium sixty-seven Kang area annual tons, most produced in Liu Wenhui Fangde. According to Xiao Shu disclosed in a book, "Liu Wencai truth": opium profits are so high. So that in 1939 the city of Kangding, Liu Wenhui subordinate staff wants to smoke, just to say hello at the non-smoking: after. "This month's wages to buy cigarettes," a month, he will be able to profit doubled in two months and turned a lot. Thus, even if a general staff to do a few times a year, you can profit many times over.

professor at Sichuan University, China's famous historical geographer Mr. Ren Naiqiang old age, recalled: Sai period Wenhui has two pillar industries, opium is one of them.

Flowers of Evil unfolded everywhere, it is impossible to escape at the time when the birth of a new province of embarrassment. Liu Wenhui has his later years, he said: "1933 retreated to the deserted Xikang became a Pola Hu, into extreme financial difficulties, coupled with Chiang Kai-shek to politically instigated Liu Xiang I made a lot of trouble, made me utterly exhausted, unable to cope. no how among tis from opium to increase revenue. such harm than approach has caused domestic public criticism. "



video and song of Kangding

1939 years in Kangding, someone had to." yo-tune "as" Kangding Ten, "one called" sub-ear Qiao song. " By this time, one of the important folk who spread "Happy yo" Dai Ailian, is returning to the UK to buy a ticket and scheming. In Kangding, this year, Zhang Central, Caoshu Fang, Li Yuqing, Li Peiyuan, Sun Yuhua and a number of young blood, is to pack up, ready to accompany all Chongqing Municipality directly under the Ministry of Education attended the National School frontier, where five years later, a man named Chame musicians, will put the song "yo-tune" a note, published in a book called "Chame Album" book; also in this year, a man named Wu Fujian student quarter , is determined to apply Chongqing Aoki National school of Music, and soon after, he will collect this song in Kangding among the army, and then transferred to his vocal teacher Wuzheng Qian, Wu Zhengqian will be invited Jiang given immortal teacher soundtrack accompaniment composer system for singing, Jiang set fairy turn the "Happy yo mountain" was officially renamed "Kangding Love Song", and recommend to the then popular singer Yu Yixuan concert.

Meanwhile, the summer of 1939, a caravan bound for the sparsely populated, remote and desolate Tibetan areas of western Sichuan, which is "Kang science mission"

completed by the eight films composed of "Xikang" series in Xikang, Sun Ming after he later he recalled: "in our work Xikang five months, as far as the Jinsha River on Dege, white, Baan, is the British Boxer of the Board XIKANG scientific mission four dozen people who go furthest here. OK I also collected a few feet of the accumulated information and draft a hundred letters. also this line also filmed over eight hundred photos already cataloged. "

these old photographs record some history should not be forgotten , this special time of the years starting in 1939, the hero of the story is only a short word: Kangding.

1939, the "Happy yo" Kangding was originally a Chinese inland devastated western town, but it is in the Wenhui painstaking efforts from the political edge to the political center, Xikang from Frontier embarked towards the process of economic center, "Happy yo" folk Songs in this process came the mountains, the young provinces with modern photographic equipment here, leaving the city face a period of change, as well as the process does not get rid of Kangding out of embarrassment.
