Shaan-Gan-Ning Border Region
Shaan-Gan-Ning (陕甘宁边区) was one of the two border region governments with the capital at Yan'an, named after the provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia. Created by the CPC in agreement with the Kuomintang as a part of the Second United Front policy, substituting the former anti-Kuomintang Soviets.
The second region, less known because the name referred to the old geographic realities, was Jin-Cha-Ji: Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei.
