Knowledge expansion-historical evolution

The earliest predecessor of Shenzhen was Baoan County, guangzhou fu. The place name "Shenzhen" was first recorded in the eighth year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (14 10) and was built in the early Qing Dynasty. "Shenzhen" refers to a ditch in Hakka dialect. As the name implies, "Shenzhen" means that there is a deep ditch in the ground.

Although the development history of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone is only over 40 years, it has a history of more than 6,700 years of human activities (aborigines lived in Shenzhen in the middle of Neolithic Age), 6,000 years of human development and marine economic development, 1700 years of urban development, 600 years of coastal defense, and a long history of Guangfu people and Hakka immigrants.

In the pre-Qin period, there lived a minority called Nanyue (a branch of Baiyue) in Guangdong, including Zhuang, She and Yi. Shenzhen is the foothold for South Vietnamese tribes to explore the ocean. The Nanyue tribe living in the coastal dune valley area of Shenzhen makes a living by fishing and sailing, and rarely cultivates.

Since Qin Dynasty, it has been the land of Guangdong. After Qin Shihuang unified China, in 2 14 BC, Nanhai, Guilin and Xiang Jun counties were established in Lingnan, and 500,000 people in Qin moved to develop. Shenzhen, which belonged to Nanhai County at that time, was integrated into the Central Plains culture of the Qin Dynasty and later became the land of South Vietnam. The Dahan Empire and the Eastern Han Dynasty belonged to Nanhai County, Jiaozhou (which governed most of Guangdong, Guangxi and Vietnam). Before the county was established in the Western Han Dynasty, it belonged to Yuedi and Nanyue (South Vietnam).

The earliest predecessor of Shenzhen was Baoan County, guangzhou fu. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty (33 1), Baoan county was established in Xianhe for six years. Dongguan county, located in six counties under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, probably covers Shenzhen, Dongguan and Hong Kong. The county is in Baoan County (Nantou). Shenzhen, an important hub of southern maritime trade in Song Dynasty, belongs to Baoan County, guangzhou fu. Rich in salt and spices. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was also famous for producing pearls.

The predecessor of Shenzhen used to be Xin 'an County. In the first year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1573), the Ming government of China expanded the base area for defending thousands of households in Dongguan, established Xin 'an County, and established a county to govern Nantou, covering the present Shenzhen and Hong Kong. The economy is dominated by salt, tea, spices and rice.

In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1394), Dongguan Garrison Thousand Houses and Dapeng Garrison Thousand Houses were established in Shenzhen today. The ancient city of Nantou, with a history of more than 600 years, was the political center of Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao before the end of Qing Dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, it belonged to guangzhou fu, and it was widely used. During the period from July in the 22nd year of Qing Daoguang (1842) to April in the 24th year of Qing Guangxu (1898), the Qing governments of China and Britain successively signed the treaty of nanking, the Beijing Treaty and the Special Provisions on Expanding the Border of Hong Kong, and Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories were ceded and leased to Britain. So far, of the 3,076 square kilometers of land originally belonging to Xin 'an County,1055,438+0 square kilometers are not within its jurisdiction, and Shenzhen and Hong Kong have been divided and ruled since then.
