Zhuzhou was called Jianning in ancient times, and then Zhuozhou. It was first seen in the anthology of Southern Song Dynasty. Zhuzi may be a plant from a bamboo field. Zhuzhou and Zhutian are miles apart, and Zhutian was famous in the Five Dynasties. The word Zhou Zi was taken from the ancient mainland on both sides of Xiangjiang River and combined into a place name. It is said that there are many trees on that land, and Zhu Tian and Zhu Tian have the same voice, so it is also called giant field.
