Tianjin was named after Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, which means "the place where the emperor crossed Tianjin". In the old days, it was also called Tianjin Wei. As the saying goes, "China's modern history depends on Tianjin." During the Republic of China, there was Shanghai Beach in the south and Tianjin Wei in the north. These two cities were the prosperous places of modern China. Among them, Tianjin Wei occupied an extremely important position in modern history. Many influential figures made their fortunes or retired here, and many major events happened. What happens here affects the course of history.
As of the end of 2017, Tianjin has 16 municipal districts and 245 streets, townships and towns. The municipal area is divided into central urban area, urban ring area, Binhai New Area and outer suburbs.
