Historical evolution

From the Xia and Shang Dynasties to the early spring and Autumn period, it was the residence of Pu people; from the middle and late spring and Autumn period to the middle Warring States period, it was Zhidi of Ba state, which successively established its capital in Zhizhou, Jiangzhou (now Jiangbei District of Chongqing) and Dianjiang (now Hechuan); from the middle and late Warring States period, it was Zhiyi of Chu state.

In the 27th year of emperor Zhaoxiang of Qin Dynasty (280 BC), Sima CuO attacked Chu and occupied Central Guizhou. Zhiyi belonged to Qin Dynasty. In the thirtieth year of emperor Zhaoxiang of Qin Dynasty (277 BC), Zhixian county was established in Zhiyi of Chu, which was the beginning of Zhixian county. In the 26th year of the first emperor (221 BC), there were thirty-six counties in the world. Zhixian County belonged to Bajun prefecture (Jiangzhou County, now Jiangbei District of Chongqing).

In the fifth year of emperor Gaozu of the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC), the Han Dynasty destroyed the Western Chu, and Liu Bang became emperor. He still set up Bajun, which belongs to Zhixian county.

In the third year of Yonghe (347) of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Huanwen leveled Shu. Because of Fuling, the county was destroyed by the war. The overseas Chinese in Zhixian County of Bajun set up Fujun (also known as Zhicheng county), which was the beginning of setting up the county in the region. In the second year of Yuanxi (420), Zhicheng county was abandoned and Zhixian county was subordinate to Bajun county. Fuling county was set up again to govern Fuling county (now Pengshui County).

In the first year of Zhenguan (627), Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty divided the world into ten roads according to the shape of mountains and rivers, and Fuzhou belonged to Shannan Road (governing Xiangzhou, now Xiangyang). In the second year of Jingyun (711 AD), Shannan road was divided into Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road because of its wide area.
