Jiangnan, formerly romanized as Kiangnan, was a historical province of the early Qing dynasty of China. Its capital was Jiangning (now Nanjing), from which it is sometimes known as Nanjing or Nanking Province. Established in 1645 during the Qing conquest of Ming,[2] it administered the area of the earlier Ming province of Nanzhili,[3] reaching from north of the Huai River—at the time the course of the Yellow River—to south of the Yangtze River in East China.[1] Its territory was later divided into the separate provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui[3] during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (1736–1795),[4] although the exact timing is disputed,[4] with Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville's map of 1734 showing the province still extant as "Kiang-nan". The earliest that the province's partition could have happened was 1667.[5] Under the Republic and People's Republic of China, an area of Jiangsu also became the provincial-level municipality of Shanghai.
