Shenzhen in ancient China;

During the Qin Dynasty, Shenzhen was incorporated into the territory of Daqin Empire. At that time, Shenzhen was called "Nanyue Tribe", and Qin Shihuang also incorporated it into Guangdong Province, which facilitated the implementation of the county system.

The active development of commodity economy in Song Dynasty made the southern economy progress continuously. At that time, Shenzhen happened to be a seaport, and because water transportation depended on it, it naturally attracted much attention. It is an important hub of South China Sea trade. Businessmen are very concerned about this.

During the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, due to the southward shift of the economic center of gravity and the political center of gravity, the southern trade developed rapidly, and Shenzhen's position was further improved because of its seaport advantage. Gradually listed as a county alone, the local spice industry has also developed. Because it is close to the sea, it also develops "salt industry" to increase the income of local people. There are also local people who export pearls for commercial interests.

Shenzhen is the youngest city in China. Its rapid development and high degree have created the miracle of "Shenzhen Speed" in just over 30 years, which is rare in China and even the world. Now it is one of the four first-tier cities in China.
