ABSTRACT

Guizhou, formerly known as "Qian" in ancient times. Located in the upper reaches of Jingchu and at the gateway to Yunnan and Guangxi, it has been a strategic location in the southwest since ancient times. After the Nationalist Government relocated its capital to Chongqing, it established a rear area for the Anti Japanese War with Sichuan and Chongqing as the political center, covering provinces such as Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia that had not yet been occupied. Due to its unique geographical location, Guizhou invested a large amount of anti Japanese forces and played an important role in politics, economy, culture, healthcare, and transportation in the rear areas of the Anti Japanese War.
