Changhua County - History

History

The original name of Changhua was "half line", colloquially called by the Taiwanese aboriginal. The current name Changhua is the phonetic translation written in Mandarin. Changhua was previously inhabited by Babuza people (mostly assimilated by the Chinese today). When the Qing soldiers invaded Chunghua in 1644, Chunghua was one of the bases that the Qing soldiers defended for. At the time, Chunghua was controlled by the "Tian-Hsin County" of the Qing Dynasty.

During the Japanese Conquer of the WWII, Taiwan was subdivided into Taipei, Taiwan and Tainan. Changhua was ruled under Taiwan subdivision. After a administrative division replanning, Changhua and Taichung City together were combined and became Taichū Prefecture. During 1930, the population in Changhua had already exceeded a million.

There were also prehistorical burials in Chunghua that dates back to 5000 thousand years. The number of burials tally up to 32.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    In every election in American history both parties have their clichés. The party that has the clichés that ring true wins.
    Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)

    No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.
    Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
