Historical evolution
Shaoxing has a history of about 7 years since Hemudu culture in the middle Neolithic period. The ancient capital of Yue was built in 49 BC, with a history of nearly 2,5 years.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Yu-Yue people built Yue country around Shaoxing today and became one of the countries in the Spring and Autumn Period. In the twenty-fifth year of the reign of King Qin (the first 222 years), he decided to set the south of the Yangtze River, surrendered to the monarch, and set up Huiji County in the land beyond, which now governs more than 2 counties in southern Jiangsu and most of Zhejiang, and governs Wu (now Suzhou). In the fifth year of Emperor Yuan Feng of the Western Han Dynasty (the first 16 years), Huiji County was overseen by Yangzhou Secretariat Department, which led to 26 counties, and there are 18 counties in Zhejiang today. In the fourth year of Yongjian in the Eastern Han Dynasty (129), Huiji County was divided into Wu County, and the south of Qiantang River was still Huiji County, which ruled Shanyin (now Shaoxing). In the second year of Jin Taikang (281), Sun Xiu, a general of title of generals in ancient times, was named Huiji country with the county as the country. In the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui Dynasty (589), Pingchen was a provincial county and abolished Huiji County. At the same time, Shanyin, Yongxing, Shangyu and Xianning were merged into Juzhang County, and Yuyao, Qin and Zhi were incorporated into Juzhang County, and Wu Zhou was established to govern Huiji County, which governed four counties: Huiji, Zhuji, Shu and Juzhang. In the first year of Emperor Yangdi's great cause (65), Wu was abolished, and Yuezhou was located in the original Wu Zhou, which was the beginning of the name of Yuezhou and the county under its jurisdiction remained unchanged. In the fourth year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty (113), Emperor Gaozong was stationed in Yuezhou, changed to Shaoxing in the following year, and promoted Yuezhou to Shaoxing Prefecture, which is the origin of Shaoxing's name. The government governs Shanyin and governs Shanyin, Huiji, Zhuji, Xiaoshan, Yuyao, Shangyu, Shengxian and Xinchang.
in February of the first year of the Republic of China (1912), the government was abolished, and a two-level system was implemented at the provincial and county levels. The county under the former Shaoxing government was directly under Zhejiang Province. In 24 years, Shaoxing Administrative Supervision District was established, which governs Shaoxing, Shangyu, Yuyao, Shengxian, Xinchang, Zhuji and Xiaoshan, and the Commissioner's Office is located in Shaoxing County. In 25 years, Shaoxing was changed to the third administrative supervision area, and the county under its jurisdiction remained unchanged. In 37 years, it was renamed as the second administrative supervision area, which governs 14 counties (Xiaoshan was changed to be directly under the province, and 8 counties of Yinxian, Cixi, Dinghai, Zhenhai, Fenghua, Xiangshan, Ninghai and Siming were added), and the Commissioner's Office was located in Yuyao.
Shaoxing was liberated on may 7, 1949. In June, the tenth district of Zhejiang Province was established, which governs Shaoxing City and seven counties of Shaoxing, Shangyu, Shengxian, Xinchang, Zhuji, Xiaoshan and Huiji. October was changed to Shaoxing area. In January 1952, Shaoxing area was abolished, and the cities and counties under its jurisdiction were divided into Ningbo and Jinhua areas directly under the provincial government. In September, 1964, Shaoxing Special Zone was re-established, governing Shaoxing, Shangyu, Shengxian, Xinchang and Zhuji counties. In May 1968, it was renamed Shaoxing area, and the Revolutionary Committee of Shaoxing area was established. In September 1978, it was renamed Shaoxing Regional Administrative Office. In July, 1983, Shaoxing was abolished and established as a provincial city. Since then, Shaoxing has become one of the 68 provincial capitals and central cities in China, and has been listed as a national historical and cultural city and an excellent tourist city in China.

Ethnic Religion
In the pre-Qin period, Shaoxing was mainly inhabited by the Yue people. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, with the massive migration of the Han nationality in the Central Plains to the south and the mutual integration of ethnic groups, the Han nationality occupied a dominant position in Shaoxing. At the same time, a small number of minority residents live in Shaoxing. Since 1978, the exchanges between various regions and ethnic groups have increased day by day, and the residents of Shaoxing ethnic minorities have also increased greatly.
Shaoxing is a place where many religions coexist and people have diverse religious beliefs.
Taoism was the earliest. Wei Boyang, an alchemist from Shangyu, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, wrote a book "Zhouyi Shentongqi" referring to the three theories of "Da Yi", "Huang Lao" and "Huolu", which systematically discussed Taoist alchemy for the first time and was praised as "the king of eternal Dan" by later generations. In the first year of Jianwu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317), Ge Hong, a well-known Taoist theorist who wrote Bao Puzi, once held a meeting in build house and practiced alchemy.
Later, Indian Buddhism was introduced into Huiji. During the period of Zhongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (184 ~ 189), An Shigao, a monk from an interest country (now Iran), came to Huiji to spread Buddhism. Since then, Shaoxing monks have come forth in large numbers, and there are many famous temples. Among the eminent monks, Hui Jiao, a historian of Buddhism in Liang Dynasty, Ji Zang, the founder of Three Arguments in Sui and Tang Dynasties, Cheng Guan, the cool mage of the fourth ancestor of Huayan Sect in Tang Dynasty, and Liangshan Liangyou, the ancestor of the Five Dynasties Cao Dongzong, are the most famous. Among the famous temples, the most influential ones are Jiaxiang Temple in the ancestral hall of Sanlun Sect, yunmen temple in Zhongxing Dojo in Cao Dongzong, Giant Buddha Temple in Shan County, Wuxie Temple in Zhuji, Dashan Temple in the county, Kaiyuan Temple, Longhua Temple and Jiezhu Temple. Various sects, such as Huayan Sect, Legalist Sect, Pure Land Sect, Tantric Sect, Sanlun Sect, Zen Sect, etc., are all circulating in China. In the Tang Dynasty, Yuezhou became an important venue for Buddhist activities in the south of the Yangtze River and a post station for foreign exchanges. Four of Japan's "eight schools of entry into the Tang Dynasty", the most sincere, the round benevolence, the round treasure and the empty sea, all came to Yuezhou to seek dharma, and returned to China to create a great spread of Buddhism, which has far-reaching influence in the Japanese Buddhist community. In 1982, the Japanese Air and Sea delegation came to Shaoxing to seek their roots and ancestors, leaving a story in the history of Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges.
after the opium war, western religions were imported into China. From the 3th year of Daoguang reign in Qing Dynasty to the 7th year of Tongzhi reign (185 ~ 1868), British missionary Paul Teng, French priest Xie Peide and others successively came to Shaoxing to spread Catholicism and Christianity. Since then, missionaries from all over the world have flocked to Shaoxing, covering urban and rural areas, developing Christians by giving porridge, rice and cloth, and building churches extensively. By the 8th year of the Republic of China (1919), there were 124 Christian churches (institutes) with 2955 followers in Shaoxing.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many famous Buddhist temples in China have been repaired, some famous monks have been promoted to give lectures, and major Buddhist activities have been held one after another; Taoism has been nearly annihilated; Christianity and Catholicism got rid of the control of foreign churches, and achieved healthy development through the reform movement of patriotism and love for religion.
