2. History of China and Jiangsu The establishment of Jiangsu Province began in the early Qing Dynasty and was named after the initials of Jiangning and Suzhou. Tracing back to the source, Jiangsu is a part of Xu and Yang states in Kyushu recorded in Shangshu Gong Yu.

Jiangsu, like the ancient Yellow River Basin, is also one of the cradles of the birth of the Chinese nation. Since ancient times, human beings have worked, lived and multiplied in this land of Jiangsu. Archaeological findings show that four or five hundred thousand years ago, Dantu "high-funded apes" lived in Jiangsu; 40,000 to/kloc-0,000 years ago, ancient residents such as Xiacaowan people, Dantu people, Lishui people and Yixing people in Sihong traveled all over the country. Six or seven thousand years ago, there were many primitive clans and tribes in the vast area from the north to the Huaihe River Basin and the south to Taihu Lake. From the carbonized millet found in Qingliangang cultural site in Huai 'an, the ribbed pueraria lobata wiring sheet and "polar column" architectural remains woven by carbonized indica rice, japonica rice, rice and wild pueraria lobata fiber found by Caoxieshan cultural leap in Wuxian, and a large number of prehistoric jade articles unearthed in Qiandun cultural site in Kunshan and Zhanglingshan cultural site in Wuxian, we can see that the culture created by ancient humans in Jiangsu was at the forefront of other regions at that time.

Jiangsu belonged to Wu, Song and other countries in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Chu, Yue and Qi in the Warring States Period.

After Qin Shihuang unified China, it belonged to Jiujiang, Huiji and other counties. During the Western Han Dynasty, it belonged to Xuzhou County and Yangzhou County.
