A province, in the context of Chinese government, is a translation of sheng , which is an administrative division. Together with municipalities, autonomous regions, and the special administrative regions, provinces make up the first level (known as the province level) of administrative division of People's Republic of China (PRC or commonly "China" for short). Provinces are also the first level division of the Republic of China, commonly known as "Taiwan", although this role has been diminished. Provinces were the first level division of the entire China (Republic of China) between 1912 to 1949 before it split into two Chinas in 1949.
