History of construction

In the spring and Autumn period, Shengze was the junction of Wu and Yue. When Wu and Yue fought, the place was sometimes Wu and sometimes cross the border. According to Jiaxing new records of the Republic of China, in the 24th year of King Jing of Zhou Dynasty (496 BC), Li, who was in the south of Jiaxing County, was the southern border of Wu. Shengze is located in the north of Jiahe, which belongs to Wu. In 473 B.C., the 23rd year of Fucha, the king of Wu, Wu was destroyed by Yue, and this place is a cross-border place. After the Mid Tang Dynasty, Shengze was the hometown of Chengyuan in Jiaxing. In 909, the third year of Kaiping in Houliang Dynasty, Qian Liu, the king of Wu and Yue, cut Songling in the south of Wu County, and set Wujiang County in the six townships of Qichuan, Pingwang, Zhenze, Chengyuan, Fanyu and Jiuyong in the north of Jiaxing.

During the Hongzhi period of Ming Dynasty, Shengze was still a village with only 50 or 60 residents. Jiajing's Wujiang county annals began to call Shengze a city. In 1647, the town system was established. Qianlong five years (1740) moved to the county. From the second day of July in the tenth year of Xianfeng (1860) to the spring of the second year of tongzhi (1863), the Taiping Army established local political power in Shengze. During this period, Shengze was assigned to Xiushui county (Xiushui County, Zhejiang Province, which was taboo by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom).

After the revolution of 1911, Wujiang and Zhenze were combined into Wujiang County, which was divided into six cities and twelve townships, and Shengze was one of the six cities. In August 1929, eighteen cities and townships of the county were divided into ten districts, and Shengze was set up as the third district. In July of the 26th year of the Republic of China, Japanese troops invaded China, and Shengze Town was occupied on November 9. In the 29th year of the Republic of China, the Wang puppet regime still set Shengze as the third district, and in July of the 31st year of the Republic of China, it was renamed the fourth district. After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, the army of the national government took over power on August 16, the 34th year of the Republic of China, and Sheng Zefu became the third district.

On May 6, 1949, Shengze was liberated and the people's Government of Shengze district was established.
