Evolution of Historical Place Names in Hohhot

Hohhot used to be called "Guisui". "Guisui" is the abbreviation of "naturalization" and "Suiyuan". It was two military fortresses established in Hohhot during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At one time, the central government sent troops and the local chief executive was in charge of local affairs.

After the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed in the Ming Dynasty, the remnants of Mongolian forces retreated to the grassland, and various forces scattered everywhere. 1449, Batu Munk, the descendant of Genghis Khan, unified the chaotic Mongolian grassland and became the Great Khan of Mongolia, which was called "Great Khan" in history.

In the Qing Dynasty, the early attachment of Monan Mongolia was called "Inner Zasak Mongolia", and later the attachment of Kharka and Elut was called Outer Zasak Mongolia, while the attachment of Chahar and Tangnuwu Liang Hai without Zasak was called Inner Mongolia. The word "Inner Mongolia" later evolved from "Inner Mongolia".

Guihua City and Suiyuan City are not far apart, and later they are collectively called "Guisui". "Naturalization" and "imperialism" have similar meanings, and "Suiyuan" means to appease and appease remote areas. 1954, the government of China officially renamed Guisui as "Hohhot", which means "blue city" in Mongolian.
