What are the ancient names of Zhejiang and Suzhou?

First, Zhejiang was called Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province in ancient times.

Zhejiang and other places are located in Zhongshu Province, which is the beginning of provincial administrative divisions.

In 13th year of Yuan Dynasty (1276), he died in Song Dynasty, and set up Zhejiang-Guangdong viceroy in Hangzhou.

In the 21st year of Zhiyuan (1284), he moved from Yangzhou to the jurisdiction of Jianghuai Province and was renamed as Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province.

At the end of Yuan Dynasty, Fang Guozhen, Zhang Shicheng and others were enfeoffed here.

Second, Suzhou was called Wu, Gusu and Pingjiang in ancient times.

In the twenty-sixth year (22 BC1), China was unified by the Qin Dynasty, and the county system was formally implemented throughout the country. The world is divided into 36 counties, Wu belongs to Huiji County, which is governed by Wu's old capital (now Suzhou city site), and Wu Jun is the first city of the 26 counties under its jurisdiction, hence the name.

In the eighth year of Song Taizu Kaibao (AD 975), Wang Qian Hongchu changed Wu Jun to Pingjiang Army and turned to Jiangnan Road.

In the third year of Taiping and rejuvenating the country (AD 978), wuyue returned to the Song Dynasty, resumed the establishment of Suzhou, and became the transshipment ambassador of Zhejiang-Zhejiang Road.

In the third year of Zheng He (A.D.113), Suzhou was promoted to Pingjiang House, which belongs to the west of Zhejiang Province, so Suzhou was also called Pingjiang.

West Zhejiang was established in the fifth year of Xuanhe (A.D. 1 123) and in the fourth year of Jianjian (A.D. 1 130).
