　　 Jiaxing is the birthplace of the Majiabang culture in the Neolithic era. 7,000 years ago, some ancestors engaged in agriculture, animal husbandry, fishery and hunting activities in the city. Spring and Autumn , this place was named Changshui, also known as Li, and Wu and Yue were competing here. During the Warring States period, it was transferred to the Chu territory. Qin is composed of Quan County and Haiyan County , and belongs to Kuaiji County . During the Han Dynasty, boiled sea to make salt and military farms to make grain. During the Three Kingdoms period, the Wu Kingdom dominated the east of Jiangdong, and the southern border of Quan County and the western border of Haiyan County were established. In the third year of Huanglong in Wu (231), "the wild rice grows by fist", Emperor Wu, Sun Quan, thought it was auspicious, changed from fist to Hexing, and in the fifth year of Chiwu (242), he changed it to Jiaxing. , Jin , , Southern and Northern Dynasties, Jiaxing was further developed, "if one year or one year, several counties forget hunger." The Sui Dynasty was excavated in the Jiangnan River , that is, the Grand Canal from Hangzhou through Jiaxing to Zhenjiang , bringing benefits to Jiaxing to irrigate boats.

Tang Dynasty 27 military farms in Jiaxing, "Three towns in western Zhejiang, Jiahe is the largest", Jiaxing has become an important grain-producing area in southeast China, and there is a saying that "Jianghuai is prosperous, Jianghuai is prosperous; when Jiahe is apologized, Jianghuai is frugal." During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Wu Yue Kingdom set up the Kaiyuan Prefecture in Jiaxing, leading the three counties of Jiaxing, Haiyan and Huating. This was the first time that Jiaxing established a prefecture-level regime. Later Jin In the fifth year of Emperor Gaozu's Tianfu (940), due to the request of King Wu Yue Qian Yuanguan, he established Xiuzhou in Jiaxing, and led the four counties of Jiaxing, Haiyan, Huating and Chongde. Northern Song Dynasty changed Xiuzhou to Jiahe County, and Southern Song Dynasty promoted the county to the prefecture in the first year of Qingyuan (1195), and later changed to Jiaxing Army. In the 13th year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Emperor Shizu of Yuan Dynasty (1276), the Jiaxing Army was changed to the Jiaxing Prefecture Pacification Department and was then promoted to the Jiaxing Road General Administration Office. During the Song and Yuan dynasties, Jiaxing's economy was relatively developed and was called "a hundred craftsmanship, Suzhou and Hangzhou". "It was the best for people to grow up and wealth, and it was the best for people to grow up in Zhejiang and western ". Foreign trade is frequent in ports such as Zhapu, Chanpu, and Qinglong, and maritime transportation is booming.
