According to the idea of "stopping water with a hundred herbs", chinese administrative division should be divided into three levels: the central level, the provincial level and the county level, and the prefecture (city) level and the township level should be abolished, so that the whole power system in China will be greatly reduced, the financial burden will be greatly reduced and the administrative efficiency will be greatly improved. At present, there are 34 provinces, municipalities, autonomous regions and special administrative regions in China. They are the same level, but they have such complicated titles. It is suggested to remove the names of cities, autonomous regions and special administrative regions and unify them into provinces. If the so-called national autonomy must be preserved, it is better to continue autonomy in the name of the province. Moreover, there are too few thirty-four provinces. It is advisable to divide and expand the existing provinces and reorganize them into about sixty provinces. At the same time, some provincial names need to be revised, on the one hand, to reflect regional characteristics, on the other hand, to be conducive to tourism. The naming of counties and cities should also follow this principle. For example, Tai 'an City in Shandong Province should be renamed Taishan City. China is a vast country, bigger than the United States. China has a large population, which is not only the first in the world, but also four times that of the United States. There are fifty states in the United States, but we only have thirty-four provinces, each with a much larger population and area than the United States. In this way, not only the management of a single province is difficult, but also the authority of provincial political power is enlarged. The former makes the provincial government unable to deal with it, which is complicated and difficult; The latter makes the provincial government have the concept of ancient local officials and governors, and it is easy to disobey the jurisdiction or compete with the central government, which is extremely obvious in a Shanghai official who was recently dismissed by the central government. Therefore, the white grass water cut advocates streamlining the existing provinces to divide more provinces. In this way, the province becomes smaller, and the management of provincial political power is much easier; At the same time, the power of the provincial government has shrunk accordingly, and the confidence to compete with the central government has naturally diminished. So how big should the province of China be? Bai Cao Shui Zhi thinks that the principle of taking population as the benchmark and giving consideration to administrative regions is most suitable for China. Generally speaking, the total population of a province should not exceed 30 million, and the area of a province is roughly equivalent to half of Shandong Province. However, due to China's complex geographical form and unbalanced development between the east and the west, the population in the east is too dense and the population in the west is too sparse. In order to balance the east and the west, considering the reality that the large-scale development of the west has led to the transfer of population to the west, the size and scale of the province still need to be flexibly grasped. Specifically, Herbs Stop Water holds that Northeast China should be divided into seven provinces. Inner Mongolia is an independent province north of Jining and Huade, which has absorbed Qiqihar and Baicheng in Jilin, and is called Xing 'an Province. Along the coast of Heilongjiang, including Oroqen Autonomous Banner, north of Xiaoxing 'anling, Heilongjiang Province is listed separately. Qitaihe and Mudanjiang in Heilongjiang Province, Yanji, Dunhua and Changbai Mountain in Jilin Province are listed as Changbai Mountain Province. The rest of Heilongjiang Province was renamed Songhua River Province, and the rest of Jilin Province was still called Jilin Province. Chaoyang, Fuxin, Panjin, Yingkou, Dandong and Liaodong Peninsula in Liaoning, Laoting, Qinhuangdao, Qian 'an and Kuancheng in Hebei, and Chifeng in Inner Mongolia were merged into the new Liaoning Province. In the rest of Liaoning, Siping, Liaoyuan and Tonghua in Jilin have been added, and the province name is still Liaoning. Zhangjiakou, Hebei and its north, all the way to Chengde, merged with Beijing and was named Beijing Province. Cangzhou, Tangshan and Tianjin in Hebei merged and were renamed Bohai Province. The rest of Hebei Province is still Hebei Province. The midwest is vast and sparsely populated. Because the future development direction of China is the central and western regions, although the population is small now, because the area of a single province is too large, it is still necessary to split up, so as to fill the population in the future development. Therefore, Xinjiang should be divided into four parts, with Junggar Basin as the center, Tianshan Mountain and Urumqi as Junggar Province in the north, Tianshan Mountain as the south, Urumqi as the west, Tarim River as the north, Tarim River and Tarim Basin including Kashgar and Ashitu as Tarim Province, and Urumqi, Hami Basin and Turpan Basin as Xinjiang Province. The rest of Inner Mongolia, together with Yulin in Shaanxi, Datong and Shuozhou in Shanxi, is called Inner Mongolia Province. Gansu can be divided into two parts, with Zhangye as the boundary. The north of Zhangye, including Zhangye, is Dunhuang Province, and the rest are still called Gansu. Integrate the Qaidam Basin, Kunlun Mountain Area and no man's land in northern Tibet into Kunlun Province, which is a vast and uninhabited province directly under the jurisdiction and development of the central government. The rest of Qinghai Province is still Qinghai. Kangma, Xigaze, Rendui, Xinji, Bangor and its west are called Tibet Province, and the rest of the former Tibet Province is called Dongzang Province. Lancang River and Nujiang River, south of Yushu and Anima Mountain in Qinghai, Yalong River, Kangding and Marcand in Sichuan, * * * merged into Kangba Province. The Yangtze River valley from Yibin, Sichuan to Yichang, Hubei, including most of the former Chongqing municipality, was included in the Yangtze River Province. Zhongdian, Lijiang, Liuku, Dali, Baoshan, Luxi, Jinghong and Simao in Yunnan merged into Dali Province, Qujing, Dongchuan and Zhaotong in Yunnan, Xichang and Panzhihua in Sichuan, Bijie, Liupanshui and Huangguoshu in Guizhou merged into Yunbei Province, and the rest of Yunnan was still called Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. The Pingliang-Qingcheng area in Gansu Province was merged into Ningxia Province and Shaanxi Province. Combine Ankang, Shangzhou, Hanzhong and Hanshui in Shaanxi, Linfen and Yuncheng in Shanxi, Shiyan and Xiangfan in Hubei, Sanmenxia, Luoyang and Nanyang in Henan into Hanjiang Province. The rest of Shanxi is Shanxi, the rest of Henan is Henan, and the rest of Hubei is Hubei. Liuzhou, Guilin, Guangxi, Chenzhou, Yongzhou and southern Huaihua, Hunan, Guilin Province of * * * Group. The rest of Guangxi is Guangxi, and the rest of Hunan is Hunan. Fangchenggang, Beihai and Yulin in Guangxi, Qiongzhou Peninsula, Zhanjiang, Maoming, Yangjiang and Zhaoqing in Guangdong make up Guangdong Province. Guangzhou, Foshan, Jiangmen, Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Dongguan, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao make up the Pearl River Province. Qingyuan, Shaoguan, Heyuan, Huizhou, Shanwei and other northern Guangdong regions, together with Ganzhou, Jiangxi, form Longmen Province. The rest of Jiangxi Province is still Jiangxi Province. The whole Jiaozhou Peninsula, together with Binzhou, Dongying and Zibo, constitutes Jiaozhou Province. The rest of Shandong Province, plus Puyang, Henan Province, is still called Shandong. South of Runan and Zhumadian in Henan Province, north of Huai 'an in Anhui Province, south of Hongze Lake and Huaiyin in in Jiangsu Province, the whole Huaihe River Basin is Huaihe Province. The original Shanghai was renamed as Shanghai Province, and the rest of Anhui Province is still called Anhui Province. The vicinity of the banks of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu and its south, including Yangzhou, Gaoyou, Taizhou and Tongzhou, constitute Jiangdong Province. The rest of the former Jiangsu Province, together with south-central Linyi and Rizhao in Shandong Province, is called yi river Province. Shangrao, yingtan and Cheng Nan in Jiangxi, Suichang, Yunhe, Wenzhou and its south in Zhejiang, Ningde, Nanping and its north in Fujian, * * * merged to form Wuyi Province. The rest of Zhejiang Province is Zhejiang Province, and the rest of Fujian Province is Fujian Province, Taiwan Province Province and Hainan Province. In addition, Bai Cao Shui Shui believes that in order to better develop and utilize marine resources, show and lead the people's maritime awareness, and protect China's territorial sovereignty and resources, the main territorial waters should be listed as provinces and managed by the central government. In this way, the Yellow Sea is set as the Yellow Sea Province and the East China Sea is set as the East China Sea Province. The South China Sea is very large and can be divided into two parts. The northern part of the South China Sea with dongsha islands and zhongsha islands as the core is set as Nanhai Province, and the southern part of the South China Sea with Nansha Islands as the core is set as Nanyang Province. Each sea area has a development management team led by the governor, and a marine department has been set up above each sea area province to coordinate, plan, manage and utilize the legitimate rights and interests of the territorial sea, high seas and oceans. In this way, the whole territory of China can be divided into 57 provinces, of which 1 has no provinces on land, 4 marine provinces are directly under the central government, and the remaining 52 provinces are highly autonomous administrative provinces operating according to national laws. After such changes in the administrative regions of China, the size of a single administrative province has been greatly reduced on the original basis, which is not only conducive to the improvement of provincial administrative efficiency, but also helpful to clarify the relationship between the central government and the provinces, and is of great benefit to improving the administrative efficiency of China and building a harmonious China society. Some people say that this will nearly double the number of provincial organs, more people will get the imperial grain, and the burden on the people will also increase. Don't be busy yet Didn't the white grass stop water supply long ago propose to cancel the prefecture-level authority? The number of civil servants reduced in this way will be several times or even dozens of times that of the number of people increased by expanding the province. In fact, the province is small, the place is gone, and the purpose of streamlining the state power institutions is invisibly achieved. After the abolition of prefecture-level organs, all provincial and prefecture-level cities, regardless of size, will be downgraded to county-level administrative cities. The territory of the original county also changes appropriately with the expansion of the province, and the county is generally expanded appropriately according to the law of expanding the province. That is to say, if the size of a single county is reduced, the total number of counties in each province will increase, and the upper limit of the increase will be doubled. Isn't that the number of civil servants is going to increase again? Didn't white grass cut off water to say that it would shrink the authority of villages and towns? Actually, it's best to cancel it directly. If it can't be abolished, only one township head and his office can be kept, which will greatly reduce the number of national civil servants. All rural affairs are directly under the jurisdiction of the county government, and the township head only plays a supporting role. Due to the cancellation of prefecture-level and township level, the scale of a single county has been reduced, the work efficiency of the county has been improved, the responsibilities have become clearer, the relationship between provinces and counties has become clearer, and the administrative operation of the province has become more reasonable and efficient.
