Historical evolution of Shantou

In the pre-Qin period, Guangdong belonged to South Vietnam. In 222 BC, after Ying Zheng, king of Qin, unified the six countries, he sent Tu Youyou to lead 500,000 Qin Jun to attack Lingnan. In 2 14 BC, Qin Jun basically occupied Lingnan.

Immediately, Qin Shihuang set up three counties of "Guilin, Elephant and Nanhai" in the Lingnan area captured by Qin Shihuang. Nanhai county includes a part of eastern Guangdong, northern Guangdong, central Guangdong and western Guangdong. Most of Guangdong Province belongs to Nanhai County, and Shantou belongs to Jieyang County of Nanhai County.

Shantou City, in the north of Shantou City, was a coastal alluvial land in ancient times, and there were Lingju temples in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. In Song Dynasty, Shawei (now Jinsha Township) had formed a settlement, and there were also residents in Gounan and Yuzhou.

In the third year of Song Xuanhe (12 1 1), Jieyang County was under its jurisdiction when it moved its capital. Haojiang in the south was the capital of Chaoyang County in ancient times, and Shapu was added in the Song Dynasty. At this time, the recruits and Shapu are still under the jurisdiction of Chaoyang County.

In the Yuan Dynasty, there was a big fishing village called Xia Ling in the photochemical department.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Pengzhou was established, and ten thousand households were guarded. When Chaozhou House was newly established in Chenghai County during Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, the northern part (now Shantou City) was separated from Jieyang and belonged to Chenghai. Because the sand ridge extends to the sea, the people set up fences to fish, named sand mountain; Nanpian (now Haojiang District) still belongs to Chaoyang County.
