Changde has a long history. In 277 BC (the 30th year of Qin Dynasty), Shu established a city in the east of Wuling District in order to defend "taking Wujun to the south of the Yangtze River", which has a history of more than 2,200 years.
Historically known as Wuling, Langzhou and Dingcheng, it was once the land of seven dynasties' county governance, seven dynasties' military governance and seven dynasties' feudalism, and its jurisdiction reached as far as northwest Hunan, southwest Hubei, northeast Guizhou and northeast Guangxi, and it was known as "the lips and teeth of western Chu" and "the throat of Guizhou".
In 300 thousand BC, primitive people lived and multiplied in the mountains and rivers of Yuanshui and Lishui Plain in Changde area.
More than 40 Paleolithic remains were found in Nan Li Township, Zhanggongmiao Town, Yaopo Township, Jinshi City, and Shi Gang, Guanxi Town, Dingcheng District. The stone tools excavated include stone chips, stone hammers, stone balls, sharp objects, choppers, etc.
Primitive people used these primitive tools to collect fruits and hunt wild animals.
