history
With a history of 7000 years, Jiaxing is also one of the birthplaces of civilization in southern China and the birthplace of the Taihu Lake Cultural District. It can be traced back to the Neolithic Age and is the birthplace of Majiabang culture. It has provided land for the grains of the past dynasties of China and is known as the "granary of the world." Wu and Yue competed here in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, it was classified into the Chu Realm. Qin belongs to Huiji County. In the third year of Wu Huanglong (231), "the wild rice was born by boxing", the great emperor of Wu Sun Quan thought of auspiciousness, changed from boxing to Hexing, and in the fifth year of Chiwu (242), it was renamed Jiaxing. The Sui Dynasty excavated the Jiangnan River, the Grand Canal from Hangzhou to Zhenjiang via Jiaxing, which brought the benefits of irrigation boats to Jiaxing. In the Tang Dynasty, there were 27 farms in Jiaxing, "Santun in the west of Zhejiang, Jiahe is the largest", and Jiaxing has become an important grain-producing area in southeast China. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Xiuzhou was changed to Jiahe County, and in the first year of Ningzongqing's Yuan Dynasty (1195) in the Southern Song Dynasty, the county was promoted to the prefecture, which was later changed to Jiaxing Army. In the fourth year of Xuande of the Ming Dynasty (1429), it was analyzed that the northwest of Jiaxing County was Xiushui County, and the northeast was Jiashan County; Xihaiyan County was named Pinghu County; Chongde County was named Tongxiang County, and Jiaxing Prefecture had 7 counties under its jurisdiction, which is called one government and seven counties. In the next four to five hundred years, the Jiaxing prefecture system has basically remained unchanged. Due to its importance, Jiaxing Mansion was directly under the jurisdiction of Zhongshu Province during the Ming Dynasty. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, on the 26th day of the lunar calendar in the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (August 6, 1645), the Qing army broke through here, because the soldiers and civilians in Jiaxing refused to accept the Qing court’s order to shave, and then carried out a brutal act. The massacre of Jiaxing made all residents of Jiaxing no longer prosperous in the past. Through investigations, 500,000 people were massacred in Jiaxing that year, which caused the social development, economy, and cultural dissemination of Jiaxing to plummet. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the seawall along Hangzhou Bay was built many times, and Jiaxing's society and economy gradually improved, and the town resumed its prosperity.
In modern times, on August 2, 1921, the first National Congress of the Communist Party of China completed its agenda on a cruise ship in Nanhu Lake, Jiaxing.

- Chang'an Gate Site。IntroductionChang'an Lock is an important water conservancy project connecting the Jiangnan Canal and Shangtang River. It was changed from Chang'an Weir to Chang'an Three Locks in 1068, forming a pattern of coexistence of compound locks and tug dams. It was the earliest compound lock in the history of water transportation in the world. In the second year of Yuanzhizheng (1342), a new dam was added to the west of the old dam. It was the predecessor of the current tugboat dam in Chang'an Town. Both the dam and the dam can confirm their location, and the basic pattern still exists. All gates are now rebuilt into gate bridges, and the gate base gates are well preserved. The scope of the two water Australia is basically confirmed.
