As far back as four or five thousand years ago, there were humans in Leizhou in the Neolithic Age. In the pre-Qin period, it was the sphere of influence of Yue Chu. According to historical records, in 355 BC, after Chu destroyed Yue, "Chu Zixiong was sent to Guangdong Town, so he opened Shicheng and built a building to show his boundary". From the sixth year of Ding Yuan in Han Dynasty (BC 165438+ BC 0 1) to the end of Qing Dynasty.

Leizhou is mostly under the jurisdiction of counties, prefectures, counties, highways and prefectures, and has become the political, economic, cultural and center of Leizhou Peninsula, which is known as the "land of the South".

Due to historical origin and geographical relationship, Leizhou has historically become the intersection of Chu-Yue culture, indigenous culture, Minnan immigrant culture, marine culture and Central Plains culture, and gradually formed a unique Leizhou culture. The red soil in Zhong Ling, Leizhou is outstanding, and the preserved cultural relics are all over the urban and rural areas. There are 57 cultural relics protection units announced by the people's governments at or above the county level, including Leizu Temple at the national level, Sanyuan Tower at the provincial level, Zhenwutang, Shaoshan Ancient Stage, Mo Zhai Ancestral Temple in Dongling and Tang Tomb at the prefecture level. The number and grade of cultural relics collected by municipal museums are the highest among county-level museums in the province. The museum is an excellent patriotic education base in the national cultural relics system. These cultural relics are the witness of Leizhou's thousands of years of civilization history and the crystallization of Leizhou ancestors' diligence, courage and wisdom. Governments at all levels and people attach great importance to the collection, protection and utilization of cultural relics. Since the reform and opening up, the government has allocated huge sums of money, and the masses have actively raised funds to repair and restore cultural relics, saving a large number of cultural treasures.
