Donghu District (simplified Chinese: 东湖区; traditional Chinese: 東湖區; pinyin: Dōnghú Qū; lit. 'east lake district') is one of 6 urban districts of the prefecture-level city of Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province, China. The district was created in the Tang dynasty when a bridge was built across Nanchang's Taihu lake, dividing the area into the East and West Lake districts. It covers over 56.95 square kilometres (21.99 sq mi)[1] with a population of 482,000 as of 2019. Among them, the urban resident population is 476,300, and the population urbanization rate is 98.83%. The birth rate was 8.68%, and the natural growth rate was 3.2%.[1] People's Park, the largest public park in downtown Nanchang, is located in Donghu.[2]
Toponymy
[edit]The district's name in Chinese literally means "East Lake" which refers to Nanchang's East Lake. [3] Donghu is also referred to in Lei Cizong's Records of Yuzhang during the Liu Song dynasty.[4]
History
[edit]During Northern Wei Dynasty, Li Daoyuan's Commentary on the Water Classic had a record of Taihu lake, which later been called Dong Hu (East Lake) since the Tang and Song Dynasties. [3]
The five gates of the old city of Nanchang in the Qing Dynasty - Zhangjiang Gate, Desheng Gate, Yonghe Gate, Guangrun Gate, and a part of Hue Gate, as well as three streets (Middle Street, West Street, East Street), are all within one jurisdiction which later becomes Donghu District.[3]
In 1926, after Nanchang was officially a city, it had different districts. [3]
The government divided jurisdiction into first and second districts at the beginning of 1949 and withdrew from those districts in October of the same year. Then, the first and second districts were restored in August 1951, and in April 1955, they were renamed Donghu District and Shengli District, respectively. In June 1980, the two districts later merged into one Donghu District.[3]
In 2019, Donghu District's two sub-districts and one town (Shajin subdistrict, Weidong subdistrict, Shengmi town) are placed under the jurisdiction of Honggutan District.[5]
