Provincial System
As the main administrative model since the 13th century in China, the Provincial System originated from the Yuan Dynasty and saw its development in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and exerted influence on the administrative system of modern China. After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty by Kublai Khan, the Secretariat (known as "capital province" then) was officially set up in the royal court for managing national affairs. The Yuan Dynasty established a total of 10 provinces nationwide; Lingbei, Liaoyang, Henan, Jiangbei, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Gansu, Yunnan, Jiangzhe, Jiangxi, and Huguang, while regions such as Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei and Inner Mongolia were called the “hinterland” by the Central Secretariat.
