Panyu was named after Fanshan and Yushan in Guangzhou. Fanshan was originally located in the hilly area of "Jiu Si Pavilion" in the north of the former site of Zhongshan Library in Wende Road, Guangzhou, but it was razed when Guangzhou was expanded in the Southern Han Dynasty. Yushan is west of Beijing Road and east of Ma Xiao Station, between Xihu Road and Yuexiu Shuyuan Street. It was flattened when the city was opened in the late Tang Dynasty. Panyu County was named after Panyu City, the county seat, which later became Guangzhou City. Guangzhou was founded 1925, Panyu county moved to Shiqiao.
After Qin Shihuang conquered Lingnan, he set up Nanhai, Xiang Jun and Guilin counties in Guangzhou, and established Panyu (now Guangzhou) and other counties. Nanhai county includes most of Guangdong today, Panyu is governed by the county, and Ren Xiao is the first county governor. This is the first administrative division in Lingnan history and the earliest administrative system in Guangzhou history.
Nanhai County Governance and Panyu County Governance are now Yuexiu District of Guangzhou. Ren Xiao, the magistrate of Nanhai County, built the earliest Guangzhou City-Panyu (known as Ren Xiaocheng in history) on Fanshan and Yushan (near Cangbian Road of Zhongshan No.4 Road, and near Gufan Mountain and Yushan Mountain to the west of Cangbian Road in Guangzhou), which is the beginning of Guangzhou's administrative district and urban construction.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the administrative jurisdiction of Nanhai County reached Guanpingshi in the north, near Zhangpu in Fujian in the east and Zhanjiang in the west, covering an area of about 6.5438+0.4 million square kilometers. Although Renxiao Town is a small town four miles away, it is the earliest reliable record of Guangzhou's urban construction. Because General Qin presided over the construction, it was a famous city. The official name is Panyu City.
