During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Kun and Yue Kun competed for hegemony. Hangzhou first belonged to Yue State, and later belonged to Yue State. After the demise of Wu State, Hangzhou returned to Yue State. During the Warring States Period, the State of Yue was destroyed by Chu, and Hangzhou was returned to Chu.
The historical evolution of Hangzhou;
After Qin unified the six countries, there was a county government under Lingyin Mountain, named Qiantang, which belonged to Huiji County. Historical Records of Qin Shihuang's Biography records: "In October of the thirty-seventh year, Qin Shihuang went on a patrol ... crossing Danyang and reaching Qiantang, facing Zhejiang, and the water waves were evil ..." This is the earliest record of the name Qiantang in Historical Records. At that time, it was still a beach infested by rivers and tides, and the West Lake had not yet formed.
The Western Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and Hangzhou is still called Qiantang. When Xin Mang changed Qiantang to Quanting County; In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Qiantang County was restored as Wu County. At this time, the construction of farmland water conservancy in Hangzhou began to take shape, and the first seawall was built from Baoshishan to Wansongling. The West Lake began to break away from the sea and become an inner lake. Geography of Han Dynasty: West Governor Qiantang. Wulin Mountain, Wulin water comes from here and enters the sea eastward, with a journey of 830 miles, so it is called Quanting.
The Three Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty and Hangzhou all belong to Wu Jun and the ancient Yangzhou. In the first year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (326), the Indian Buddhist Association built Lingyin Temple under Feilai Peak, which is the oldest jungle building in the West Lake. In the third year of Liang Taiqing (549), Hou Jing promoted Qiantang County to Linjiang County. In the first year of Chen Zhenming (587), Qiantang County was established, which governed Qiantang, Yuqian, Fuyang, Xincheng and Tonglu, belonging to Wu Zhou. ?
After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, in the ninth year (589), the county was abolished as a state, and the name "Hangzhou" first appeared. Tonglu entered Qiantang County and governed Qiantang County, Yuhang County, Fuyang County, Yan Guan County, Yuqian County and Wu Kang County. The state first ruled Yuhang and moved to Qiantang the following year. In the 11th year of Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty, a city was built on the Phoenix Mountain, which was the earliest Hangzhou city.

Hangzhou, a city full of beauty and stories;
If there is a gender in the city, Hangzhou in history must be female, because there are so many talented people, so many beautiful women and love everywhere. Most touching folk love stories in the history of China took place in or related to Hangzhou.

These are all China commodities that foreign businessmen dream of. To a certain extent, in the eyes of foreigners, Hangzhou once represented a mysterious and beautiful oriental imagination.
