By regular Hanyu Pinyin rules, if tone marks are not written, both Shaanxi and the neighbouring province of Shanxi should be spelled Shanxi; the difference is in tone: ShÄ?nxÄ« and ShÇŽnxÄ«. To make the difference clear without tonal marks, the spelling Shaanxi was contrived following the romanization system of Yuen Ren Chao for the province of ShÇŽnxÄ«, while Shanxi is used for the province of ShÄ?nxÄ«. It is also the official spelling on Chinese Government's official web portal.

Thirteen feudal dynasties established their capitals in the province during a span of more than 1,100 years, from the Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. The province's principal city and current capital, Xi'an, is one of the four great ancient capitals of China and is the eastern terminus of the Silk Road, which leads to Europe, Arabia and Africa. Under the Han Dynasty, the Northern Silk Road was expanded to advance exploration and military purposes to the west. This Northern Silk Road is the northernmost of the Silk Roads and is about 2600 kilometres in length. It connected the ancient Chinese capital of Xi'an to the west over the Wushao Ling Pass to Wuwei and emerging in Kashgar before linking to ancient Parthia.1 Under the Ming dynasty, Shaanxi was incorporated into Gansu but was again separated in the Qing dynasty. One of the most devastating earthquakes in history occurred near Hua Shan, in south-eastern part of Shaanxi Province on January 23, 1556, killing an estimated 830,000 people see 1556 Shaanxi earthquake. The end of the short-lived Jiangxi Soviet signalled the beginning of the Long March by Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communists to the Shaanxi Soviet at Yan'an.

Politics Main article: Politics of Shaanxi The politics of Shaanxi is structured in a dual party-government system like all other governing institutions in mainland China. The Governor of Shaanxi is the highest ranking official in the People's Government of Shaanxi. However, in the province's dual party-government governing system, the Governor is considered to have less power than the Shaanxi Communist Party of China Provincial Committee Secretary ä¸å…±é™•è¥¿çœ?委书记, colloquially termed the Shaanxi CPC Party Chief; since the Governor is always ranked as the First-Deputy Secretary in the Shaanxi Communist Party of China Provincial Committee. Shaanxi was established as a provincial government since Qing Dynasty. In 10 January 1950, the People's Government of Shaanxi was established in Xi'an. Ma Minfang was then appointed as the first Governor of Shaanxi. Economy Shaanxi's nominal GDP for 2007 was 536.985 billion RMB 70.6 billion USD and GDP Per Capita was 14,350 RMB 1,887 USD. It ranked 22nd in the PRC. Demographics Nearly all the people in Shaanxi are ethnic Han Chinese, with pockets of Hui population in the north western region adjacent to Ningxia. The southern part of Shaanxi, known as Guanzhong, where the provincial capital Xi'an is located, is more populated compared to the northern part.
