What county systems did the Qin Dynasty set up in Lingnan?

In 2 14 BC, the Qin dynasty established Guilin, Xiang and Nanhai counties in Lingnan, and Lingnan area was formally incorporated into the territory of the Central Plains. Most of Guilin county is in Guangxi, including western Guangdong. Xiang County governs Guangdong South Road and Hainan Island, and Nanhai County governs Panyu, including Panyu, Sihui, Longchuan and Boluo counties, accounting for most of Guangdong.

After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, Ren Xiao was appointed as the first commander of Nanhai County, and Zhao Tuo was appointed as the first magistrate of Longchuan County. Later, the court also accepted the suggestions of Zhao Tuo and others, and moved 500,000 criminals, husbands and unmarried women from the Central Plains to Lingnan.

Since then, the official system, ritual system, patriarchal clan system, education, economy, military, culture and other aspects of the system began to be established in Lingnan.

The more mature and advanced scientific and technological achievements in the Central Plains, such as water conservancy development, shipbuilding, transportation, building technology, the use of ironware and the system of weights and measures, have been widely popularized and applied in Lingnan area. Greatly promoted the economic and social development of Lingnan.

After the demise of the Qin Dynasty, how did Zhao Tuo unify Lingnan and build South Vietnam?

After the demise of the Qin Dynasty, Chu and Han contended and the war lasted for several years. In the absence of a unified central dynasty in the Central Plains, Zhao Tuo succeeded Ren Tao, who was seriously ill, as Taiwei of Nanhai County and took control of the military power.

In order to prevent the war in the north from spreading to the south, and strengthen the control of Lingnan, Zhao Tuo tightly blocked four passes of Wuling, namely Hengpu Pass, Jipu Pass, Yangshan Pass and Huangxiguan Pass. Cut off four roads from Jiangxi to Nanxiong Road in Guangdong. Build three lines of defense to defend Panyu. The northern soldiers want to attack South Vietnam beyond the Wuling Mountains, and they can't reach Panyu without breaking through these three lines of defense.

In 205 BC, Zhao Tuo annexed Guilin and Xiang Jun, thus unifying the Lingnan area. In 204 BC, Panyu was the capital, and Nanyue was established as the king of Nanyue. The territory of South Vietnam starts from Nanling in the north, Yelang in the west, the sea in the south and Fujian and Vietnam in the east.

This is the first capital of Lingnan.

Under the specific historical background at that time, Zhao Tuo unified Lingnan, which not only ensured the political and economic stability of Lingnan area, but also eliminated the hidden dangers of ethnic division and regional division in time, effectively preventing the invasion of Lingnan by the war in the Central Plains, which was of great progress significance at that time.

After the founding of Nanyue State, Zhao Tuo continued to carry out the policy of ethnic integration of "harmony but difference" and "Han-Yue family" in Lingnan, demanding that all officers and soldiers in the Central Plains and immigrants should respect the Vietnamese.

He also called himself "barbarian elder", dressed in Vietnamese clothes, with a knot on his head and wearing Vietnamese clothes. He not only used a group of outstanding figures from ethnic minorities to worship soldiers, but also strongly advocated the intermarriage between the Central Plains people and the Vietnamese, and took the lead in letting his children marry the Vietnamese, thus creating a situation in which the Central Plains people and the Baiyue ethnic minorities in Lingnan were like a family and naturally merged.

How did the name Guangzhou come from? After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pacified South Vietnam, Lingnan was re-divided into Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin, Hepu, Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Rinan, Qinger and Zhuyajiu counties. Hainan Island, Zhao Di and Yuan Di have cancelled the latter two counties, and Lizhuya County belongs to Hepu County.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the county of 13 was established, among which Jiaozhi County was located in Cangwu Guangxin, as the resident supervision institution in Lingnan. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jiaozhi County was changed to Jiaozhou and became a local government at or above the county level.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Wu's influence expanded to Lingnan, and Buzhi was the secretariat of Jiaozhou, which moved from Guangxin to Panyu. After that, Jiaozhou was divided into two counties, Guangzhou was established separately, and Panyu was ruled by the state. This is the origin of the name of Guangzhou. Guangzhou governs Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin, Guilin, Gaoliang and Gaoxing, accounting for two vast parts.

Jiaozhou city governs Hepu, Zhu Ya, Jiaozhou, Xinxing, Wuping, Jiuzhen, Jiude and Rinan counties, ranging from Leizhou Peninsula to Beibu Gulf, including Hainan Island and the northeast of Annan.
