Historical evolution of Shenzhen

The earliest predecessor of Shenzhen was Baoan County, guangzhou fu. The place name "Shenzhen" first appeared in historical records in 14 10 (the eighth year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty), which was built in the early years of Qing Dynasty. The local dialect usually calls the ridge ditch "town" or "surge". Shenzhen is named for its dense Shui Ze and deep ditch beside the village.

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 clan and Hakka immigration. .

Historically, Baoan County (Xin 'an County), the predecessor of Shenzhen, has four ethnic groups: Hakka, Guangfu, Fulao and Yi, among which Hakka is the majority.

In the pre-Qin period, Guangdong was inhabited by ethnic minorities known as "Nanyue" (a branch of Baiyue), 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, and the county was established 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).
