Quzhou has a long history and rich cultural heritage. Archaeological data show that as far back as 50,000 to 60,000 years ago, the territory had a mild climate, with abundant rainfall and dense jungles, making it a primitive world of birds singing and flowers blooming, horses neighing and deer singing, apes cawing and tigers whistling, wild oxen swarming and wild boars crowding. Our ancestors thrived here. In Xia, Shang and Western Zhou dynasties, this area belonged to the Yue land. In the early Spring and Autumn period, it was Gumieguo, and later it became Gumie land in the western part of Yue, and the county seat is today’s Longyou. In the third year of Chuping of the Donghan Dynasty (192 A.D.), Xin’an County was set up at the end of Taimei, and Quxian was established since then.In the third year of Chen Yongding (559 A.D.) of the Southern Dynasties, Xin’an County was once set up, which was the beginning of the establishment of Qu prefecture. In the four years of Wude in Tang Dynasty (621 A.D.) Quzhou was set up, then abolished; in the two years of Chinggong (686 A.D.) reset. Since then, for more than a thousand years, until 1949, Quzhou has always been the government office seat of Zhou, Fu, Dao, Lu, and Qu. Quzhou was the seat of Quzhou Commissioner Office of Zhejiang Province from 1949 to 1955, and was established as a provincial municipality in 1985.
