The Status Evolution of the Central Towns in the Animal Husbandry Area Along the West Line of the Trans-Manchurian Railway in Modern Times
In modern times'three large towns'respectively centering on Hailar'Manzhouli and Zalanuoer'were formed in the animal husbandry area along the western line of the Trans-Manchurian Railway.Under the influence of local history'resources conditions'geographical locations and other factors'the functions and statuses of these three towns in the regional urban system varied.Hailar developed from a town with a single military-political function in the Qing Dynasty to a regional central town with both military-political and economic functions.However'due to the homogenization of economic development between Hailar and Manzhouli'rivalry between these two towns was quite obvious.Hence'under the influence of the changes of regional socio-political environment and other factors'the title of Russia-Mongolia Trade Center was switched from Hailar to Manchuria.After 1920'Hailar gradually regained its status as a regional trade center between Russia and Mongolia'on one hand'by virtue of its role as a regional military and political center formed in the early Qing Dynasty;on the other hand'by its various advantages'such as its proximity to the Angjimiao market'and its status as a livestock processing center and automobile traffic center formed after the opening of the Trans-Manchurian Railway.Manzhouli was still the secondary economic center of the region.Zalanuoer'a resource-based town thriving because of coal'couldn't be mentioned in the same breath Hailar and Manzhouli.
