[Edit this paragraph] The origin of Zhuhai

Located in the southwest of the Pearl River estuary, Zhuhai is named after the Pearl River flows into the South China Sea. Before the Tang and Song Dynasties, the coastline of the Northwest River Delta was located in the north of Wugui Mountain (now Zhongshan City), and Zhuhai was a remote island scattered outside the Pearl River Estuary. In 22 1 year BC, it belonged to Panyu county, Nanhai county, Panyu county in Han dynasty, Dongguan county from Jin dynasty to Chen dynasty, Baoan county in Sui dynasty and Dongguan county in Tang dynasty. After the Song Dynasty, Xiangshan Town was set up in Shanchang Village because of the prosperity of salt industry and silver mining. In the 22nd year of Shaoxing (1 152), Xiangshan County was established, belonging to guangzhou fu, along the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. 1953 establishes counties, 1979 establishes cities and 1980 establishes special economic zones.

The sea area between Tangjia and Lingdingyang in Zhuhai was called "Zhuhai" by local residents in ancient times.

In the School Song of Tangjiasanfeng Primary School in the early years of the Republic of China, the lyrics were "Zhuhai in front, Goose Peak behind". It can be seen that this sea area has long been called "Zhuhai". Therefore, when Zhuhai was founded as a county, it was called "Zhuhai" because it was located in the sea of the Pearl River. Most of Zhuhai originally belonged to Zhongshan County. 1953, some coastal areas and islands were set aside from Zhongshan, Dongguan and Baoan counties, and Zhuhai County was established. The county seat is located in today's Tangjia Town. 1958 Zhuhai County was merged into Zhongshan County, and the organizational system of Zhuhai County was restored in 196 1 year, and the county seat was changed to Xiangzhou. 1March, 979, with the approval of the State Council, the county was withdrawn to build a city, which is a provincial city. 1983, Doumen County was incorporated into Zhuhai City.
