Historical evolution

The history of Yangzhou's construction can be traced back to 486 B.C. and 2015 is 2500 B.C. in ancient times, it was sometimes used as Yangzhou (Note: the characters of Yang in Han Dynasty steles were changed from "wood" to "hand" by later generations, and Wang Niansun has a detailed research), which is equivalent to "province". According to du you's Tongdian, there were 39 prefectures and 196 counties in ancient Yangzhou. Although this Yangzhou contains Yangzhou after the Sui Dynasty (today's Yangzhou), it cannot be confused with the prosperous Yangzhou City after the Sui Dynasty (today's Yangzhou).

In the spring and Autumn period, it was called "Han Yue" (later Han state was established, and Han state was one of the Fang states of Zhou Dynasty. Later, it was destroyed by Wu and the capital of Wu was established).

In the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was called "Guangling" and "Jiangdu". In the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties, it was called "nanyanzhou". In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Guangling was changed into Wuzhou. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were 13 Department of history, including Yangzhou Department of history. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the government was located in Liyang (now Hexian County, Anhui Province). In the last year, the government was moved to Shouchun (now Shouxian County, Anhui Province) and Hefei (now northwest of Hefei City, Anhui Province). During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei and Wu set up Yangzhou respectively. The governing place of Wei was Shouchun, and the governing place of Wu was Jianye (now Nanjing, Jiangsu). After the extermination of Wu in the Western Jin Dynasty, the government was still in Jianye (formerly renamed Jianye, later renamed Jiankang, now Nanjing).

He took Jiangdu as the capital of the state, changed Yangzhou into Jiangdu Prefecture, and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Wuyi. In the third year of Wu Tianzuo's reign (937), the Southern Tang Dynasty destroyed Wu, with Jinling (now Nanjing) as its national capital and Yangzhou as its eastern capital.
