Chiayi#History

Like the county, Chiayi City's former Chinese placename was Tsu-lo-san{{cite book |last1=Campbell |first1=William |author-link=William Campbell (missionary) |title=Formosa under the Dutch: described from contemporary records, with explanatory notes and a bibliography of the island |year=1903 |publisher=Kegan Paul |location=London |oclc=644323041 |chapter=Explanatory Notes |chapter-url=https://archive.org/stream/formosaunderdut01campgoog#page/n554/mode/2up |page=549|isbn=9789576380839 }} ({{zh|c=諸羅山|p=Zhūluóshān|poj=Chu-lô-san}}), a representation of the original Formosan-language name Tirosen. A shortened version, Tsulo, was then used to name Tsulo County, which originally covered the underdeveloped northern two-thirds of the island. In 1704, the county seat was moved to Tsulosan, the site of modern-day Chiayi City. Following the 1723 Zhu Yigui rebellion, the county was reduced in size. In 1787, the county and city were renamed Chiayi ({{linktext|嘉義}}; {{zh|l=commended righteousness}}) by the Qianlong Emperor to acknowledge the citizens' loyalty during the Lin Shuangwen rebellion.{{cite web | url=https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/archives/2016/04/17/2003644127 | title=Taiwan in Time: Rebels of heaven and earth - Taipei Times | date=17 April 2016 }}

First inhabited by the Hoanya aborigines, the region was named Tirosen (variants Tirocen, Tiracen). With the arrival of Han Chinese immigrants in southwestern Taiwan, the name evolved to become Tsulosan ({{zh|t=諸羅山|p=Zhūluóshān|poj=Chu-lô-san}}) in Hokkien. Eventually, Tsulosan was shortened to simply Tsulo. Because of the choice of the characters, it has been mistakenly suggested that the origin of the name came from the expression "mountains surrounding the east". "Peach City" is another name for Chiayi City due to its peach-shaped territory in ancient times. The tip of the peach is around Central Fountain and was called "Peach-tip" by citizens.

Tsulosan was once the foothold to which people from the mainland immigrated. In 1621, Yan Siqi, who came from Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, first led his people to cultivate this land after they landed at Ponkan (modern-day Beigang).

Records from the Dutch era, beginning in 1624, show Tirosen as the usual form of the name; it also occurred as Tirassen, Tirozen, Tilocen, Tilossen, Tilocen, and Thilocen.{{Cite book |last=Campbell |first=M.

In 1661 (the 15th year of Yung-Li, Ming dynasty), Koxinga defeated the Dutch based in Taiwan and founded the Kingdom of Tungning. He established one province, {{Interlanguage link multi|Cheng-Tien-Fu|zh|3=承天府 (臺灣)}}, and two counties, {{Interlanguage link multi|Tien-Hsing|zh|3=天興縣}} and {{Interlanguage link multi|Wan-Nien|zh|3=萬年縣 (臺灣)}}, demarcated by the Hsin-Kang River ({{zh|t=新港溪}}, now the Yanshui River). Chiayi was under the jurisdiction of the Tien-Hsing County.

In 1683, when Qing rule began, the island was governed as Taiwan Prefecture under the administration of Fujian Province. In 1684, Tsulo County was established and initially encompassed the underdeveloped northern two-thirds of Taiwan. (Taiwan and Hongsoa counties were divided from Wan-Nien County during the Kingdom of Tungning, which was changed from Tien-Hsing County.) In 1704, the county seat was moved to Tsulosan, the site of modern-day Chiayi City, and had wooden city walls.

In 1727, the county magistrate, Liu Liang-Bi rebuilt the gatehouses and set a gun platform for each gatehouse. The four gatehouses were named: "Chin Shan" ({{lang|ko|襟山}}) for East, "Tai Hai" ({{lang|zh-hant|帶海}}) for West, "Chung Yang" ({{lang|zh-hant|崇陽}}) for South, and "Kung Chen" ({{lang|zh|拱辰}}) for North. In 1734 (the 12th year of Yongzheng), magistrate Lu-Hung built piercing-bamboo to better protect the city.

In 1786, the Lin Shuangwen rebellion was an attempt to siege Tsulosan but failed to overcome the defense of the inhabitants. Consequently, on November 3 of the next year, the Qing Emperor conferred the name Kagee ({{linktext|嘉義}}; {{zh|l=commended righteousness}}) to praise the citizens' loyalty.

In the mid-1800s, a custom of annual riotous mass stoning developed in the city.{{Cite book |last=Campbell |first=W. |url=https://archive.org/details/sketchesfromtaiw00camprich/page/79 |title=Sketches from Formosa |date=1915 |publisher=Marshall Brothers |location=London |pages=79–81 |language=en |quote=It was on a later occasion I arrived in Ka-gi to find the people engaged in their absurd periodic custom of stonethrowing.}}{{better source needed|reason=The information related seems very unusual, and I think additional sources are definitely called for.|date=June 2019}}

In 1887, a separate Taiwan Province was declared and the island was administratively divided into four prefectures; the city of Kagee belonged to Tainan Prefecture.

In 1895, Taiwan was ceded to Japan in the Treaty of Shimonoseki. The 1906 Meishan earthquake devastated the entire city wall except the Eastern Gate. The Japanese authorities reconstructed the city. Industries and trades started to flourish. According to the census taken in 1904, Kagi was the fourth most populous city in Taiwan, with a population of over twenty thousand.{{Cite book |last=Takekoshi |first=Yosaburō |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.180113 |title=Japanese Rule in Formosa |date=1907 |publisher=Longmans, Green, and Co. |location=London |page=[https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.180113/page/n225 200] |language=en |translator-last=Braithwaite |translator-first=George |chapter=Chapter XIII: Population and Future Development of the Island Resources |oclc=753129 |ol=6986981M |author-link=Takekoshi Yosaburō}}

The Great Kagi earthquake (later also known as the 1906 Meishan earthquake) struck the city in mid March 1906.{{Cite book |last=Campbell |first=W. |url=https://archive.org/details/sketchesfromtaiw00camprich/page/82 |title=Sketches from Formosa |date=1915 |publisher=Marshall Brothers |location=London |pages=82–83 |language=en}}

{{quotation|In looking over some of my more recent Notes, it seems impossible to make the foregoing references to Ka-gi without adding a few words about that dreadful earthquake which devastated the region in March 1906. I was there soon after, and had a profound feeling of sadness on seeing whole streets covered with fallen beams and other debris ; on seeing, too, so many traces of the awful suffering on every side. Within Ka-gi city, and a limited area around, 1,216 persons were suddenly thrust out into the eternal world. Not fewer than 2,306 persons were seriously injured, and 13,259 houses were laid low. The great mysterious Power then tore the earth into deep, open chasms in several places. Many of the narrow escapes and calamities were very affecting ; particularly that of our blind evangelist Toa-un, who ran out of doors with his wife as the shaking began. The demented mother, however, could not bear the thought of her two helpless young children being left behind, and she darted in to rescue them, when my poor blind pupil became childless and a widower in an instant of time. No sooner had the Governor-General at Tai-pak received telegraphic information of the magnitude of the calamity, than instructions were issued for a large company of surgeons, nurses, and assistants to proceed at once to Ka-gi. Wide hospital-sheds were erected without delay, and the work of relief was carried on with a rare amount of self-denial and promptitude. Even already, the city has lost much of its most desolate appearance, and the projected improvements give promise that it will have a more attractive look than ever. – William Campbell, 1915}}

In 1907, the construction of Alishan Forest Railway to Mount Ali was begun. In 1920, the city became an autonomous group as {{nihongo|Kagi Town|嘉義街}}, Kagi District, within Tainan Prefecture, which included modern-day Tainan City, Chiayi County and Yunlin County. In 1930, the town was upgraded to an autonomous city under the same prefecture.

After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in October 1945, Chiayi City was established as a provincial city of Taiwan Province. The city consisted of 8 districts, which were Bajiang, Beimen, Beizhen, Nanmen, Tungmen, Tungshan, Ximen and Zhuwei Districts. In 1946, the districts was reorganized to 6 districts in which Bajiang and Nanmen were merged to become Xinnan, Beimen and Beizhen were merged to become Xinbei, Tungmen and Tungshan were merged to become Xindong, Ximen and Zhuwei were merged to become Xinxi District and there were 2 addition of districts from Tainan County which were Shuishang and Taibao Districts.{{Cite web |title=臺灣建制市的市轄區變遷 |url=http://www.aiplus.idv.tw/soviet/LTWCITY3.HTM |access-date=2022-03-20 |website=www.aiplus.idv.tw}}

Chiayi saw some of the most violent events during the 228 Incident. In early March, local militas surrounded the Shueishang Airport and fought against the KMT military.二二八民變-台灣與蔣介石，143-146；1947台灣二二八革命，166-185；責任歸屬研究報告，61-63 There were over 300 casualties.{{Cite web |last=Storm.mg |date=2019-02-26 |title=「要殺光嘉義市民！」菁英遭遊街槍決、民眾被掃射…二二八「民主聖地」挺身抗暴最慘烈-風傳媒 |url=https://www.storm.mg/lifestyle/996613 |access-date=2022-03-20 |website=www.storm.mg |language=zh-TW}} On 12 March 1947, negotiators for peace, including Tan Teng-pho and {{Interlanguage link|Phuan Bok-tsi|zh|潘木枝}}, were arrested after arriving at the airport and were executed on 25 March.

On 16 August 1950, because of the re-allocation of administrative areas in which Taiwan was divided into 16 counties, five provincial cities and a special bureau, Chiayi City was downgraded to a county-administered city and merged with Chiayi County to be the county seat. As a result, a shortage of capital hindered its development.

On 1 July 1982, Chiayi City was elevated again to a provincial city as a result of pressure from local elites.{{Cite news |date=1 February 2011 |title=Rezoning Taiwan |language=en |work=Taiwan Today |url=https://taiwantoday.tw/news.php?unit=4,29,31,45&post=6187 |access-date=9 December 2020}} On 6 October 1990, the East District and West District were established.{{Cite web |title=History |url=http://www.chiayi.gov.tw/web/east/english/index-e.asp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170314190434/http://www.chiayi.gov.tw/web/east/english/index-e.asp |archive-date=2017-03-14 |access-date=2016-01-06 |website=East District Office, Chiayi City |language=en}}

Chiayi City is located on the north side of Chianan Plain, south west of Taiwan Island. On the east side is the Mount Ali, on the west side is the Chiayi Airport, on the north side is the Puzi River and on the south side is the Bazhang River. The distance from east to west of Chiayi City is {{convert|15.8|km|abbr=on}} and from north to south is {{convert|10.5|km|abbr=on}} with a total area of {{convert|60.0256|km2|abbr=on}}. Chiayi City is completely surrounded by Chiayi County. Most of Chiayi City land is broad flat fertile plains. The terrain slowly rises from west to east. Chiayi is also one of the closest Taiwanese cities to the Tropic of Cancer, with the latitudinal line lying just south of the city.

Chiayi City has a warm humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cwa) that closely borders a true tropical climate. Northeasterly winds during fall and winter mean that rainfall is depressed during that time, while southwesterly winds during summer and the later portion of spring bring most of the year's rainfall, with more than 60% falling from June to August. Humidity is high year-round, even during winter.
