What is the origin of Shenzhen's name?

The earliest predecessor of Shenzhen was Baoan County, Guangzhou. The place name "Shenzhen" first appeared in historical records in 14 10 (the eighth year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty), which was built in the early years of Qing Dynasty. The local dialect usually calls the ridge ditch "town" or "surge". Shenzhen is named for its dense Shui Ze and deep ditch beside the village.

Although the development history of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone is only over 40 years, it has a history of more than 6,700 years of human activities (aborigines lived in Shenzhen in the middle of Neolithic Age), 6,000 years of human development and marine economic development, 1700 years of urban development, 600 years of coastal defense, and a long history of Guangfu clan and Hakka immigration.

The predecessor of Shenzhen used to be Xin 'an County. In A.D. 1573, the Ming government of China expanded the garrison base of thousands of households in Dongguan, established Xin 'an County, and built a county to govern Nantou, covering the present Shenzhen and Hong Kong. The economy is dominated by salt, tea, spices and rice.
