During the Spring and Autumn Period, the land spanned wuyue, which was called "Wu Tou Yue Wei" in history. Therefore, it has both the legacy of Taibo's resignation and the legacy of Yue's Diligence. After the merger of Chu and Yue, it was influenced by Chu culture for more than a hundred years. From the Qin Dynasty (222 BC) to the Five Dynasties (907-960 BC), Jiaxing has always belonged to Wu County in Huiji, and its language belongs to Wu dialect area.
