The development of history

Dengzhou is recorded in Shan Hai Jing and Historical Records. According to the Yangshao cultural site of Baligang discovered in Dengzhou, it is inferred that there were human beings in Dengzhou more than 6400 years ago. The capital of Deng, a vassal state in Xia, Shang, Western Zhou and early Spring and Autumn Period, was in Dengzhou, and Deng also had a vassal state (now zhang wan Town, Xiangzhou District, Xiangyang City).

In the twelfth year of King Wen of Chu (678 BC), the State of Chu destroyed Deng, ending the history of Deng 1274.
