⭐ Core Definition: Town (China)

When referring to political divisions of China, town is the standard English translation of the Chinese (traditional: ; pinyin: zhèn; Wade–Giles: chen). The Constitution of the People's Republic of China classifies towns as fourth-level administrative units, along with, for example, townships (Chinese: ; pinyin: xiāng). A township is typically smaller in population and more remote than a town.

Similar to higher-level administrative units, the borders of a town would typically include an urban core (a small town with the population on the order of 10,000 people), as well as a rural area with some villages (; cūn, or ; zhuāng).

Town (China) in the context of Aigun

Aigun (simplified Chinese: 瑷珲; traditional Chinese: 璦琿; pinyin: Ài Hún; Manchu: ᠠᡳ᠌ᡥᡡᠨ aihūn; Russian: Айгунь, romanizedAigun) was a historic Chinese town in northern Manchuria, situated on the right bank of the Amur River, some 30 kilometres (19 mi) south (downstream) from the central urban area of Heihe (which is across the Amur from the mouth of the Zeya River and Blagoveschensk).

The Chinese name of the town, which literally means "Bright Jade", was a transliteration of the Manchu (or Ducher) name of the town. The current Mainland Chinese pronunciation Ài Huī does not reflect this, unlike the Taiwanese pronunciation which still follows the Old National Pronunciation Ài Hún.
