Although the development history of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone is only more than 30 years, it has a history of human activities of more than 6,700 years (indigenous people lived in Shenzhen in the middle of Neolithic Age), a history of counties and counties of 1700 years, a history of Nantou City of more than 600 years, a history of Dapeng City of more than 300 years, and a history of Hakka immigration.

In the pre-Qin period, Guangdong belonged to South Vietnam. 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, and the establishment of Baoan County began in 33 1 year (the sixth year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty). 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).
