Historical evolution

From ancient times to Qing Dynasty

From ancient times to the Qing Dynasty, Longhua belonged to Bao'an county.

Bao'an was the place of Baiyue in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties; it belonged to Panyu County of Nanhai County in Qin Dynasty (now Guangzhou); it belonged to BOLUO County of Nanhai County in Han Dynasty (now Huizhou).

In the sixth year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (331 A.D.), Nanhai county was analyzed and Dongguan county was set up, with six counties under its jurisdiction. Baoan was the first county to be built for Baoan. Dongguan Prefecture and Bao'an county are located in the area of Zigang (now Zhongshan Park, Nanshan District, Shenzhen) outside the east gate of Nantou old city, Shenzhen.

In 757 A.D., Baoan county was renamed Dongguan County, and the county government was moved to Yong (today's Dongguan City); in 972 A.D., Dongguan county was merged into Zengcheng County; in the next year, Dongguan county was restored.

In the first year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1573 AD), Dongguan county was analyzed, Xinan county was set up, and the county government moved back to Nantou. According to the records of Xin'an County during the reign of Kangxi, in the late Ming Dynasty, Xin'an County had jurisdiction over three townships, seven capitals, 57 Tu 509 villages, and Longhua belonged to urban and rural areas, six capitals in the world.

From the first year to the third year of Kangxi (1662-1664), in order to prevent the people from helping Zheng Chenggong, Xin'an County twice issued the "order to move to the sea", moving 80 Li from the coast, greatly reducing its territory and population, and merging into Dongguan County in the fifth year (1666 A.D.); in the eighth year of Kangxi (1669 A.D.), Xin'an County was restored. During the reign of Kangxi, there were 30 fairs in Xin'an County, six of which had Qinghu fairs.
