What was Suzhou called in ancient times?
12 years (560 BC), the city of Helv, the 20th grandson of Wu, moved to the present Suzhou city. On Saturday (5 14 BC), He Lv succeeded to the throne, and ordered Wu Zixu, the minister, to expand the big city, with a circumference of 47 li, 2 10 steps and 2 feet (about 23.9 kilometers in modern times), and named it He Lv City.

In the 26th year of Wuxian (22 BC1), China was unified by the Qin Dynasty, and the county system was formally implemented throughout the country. The world is divided into 36 counties, which belong to Huiji County. The county is governed by Wu's old capital (now Suzhou city site), and Wuxian is the first city of the 26 counties under its jurisdiction, starting with the name of Wuxian.

In the eighth year of Song Taizu Kaibao in Pingjiang Prefecture (AD 975), Wang Qian Hongchu changed Wu Jun to Pingjiang Army and turned to Jiangnan Road. In the third year of Taiping and rejuvenating the country (AD 978), wuyue returned to the Song Dynasty, resumed the establishment of Suzhou, and became the transshipment ambassador of Zhejiang-Zhejiang Road. In the third year of Zheng He (A.D.113), Suzhou was promoted to Pingjiang House, which belongs to the west of Zhejiang Province, so Suzhou was also called Pingjiang.
