Extended information

Yuyao County was built in the Qin Dynasty (one theory is that it was built in the Han Dynasty). The county seat was built in the fifth year of Jian'an (200 AD) of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is one of the ancient counties in eastern Zhejiang. According to "Taiping Huanyu Ji": In the early Tang Dynasty, "Yuyao's territory included Mingzhou in the east and Shangyu in the west. It was a giant town in Yuezhou" and was once promoted to Yaozhou. In the Song Dynasty, it was called "Wang County", "the most famous town in the southeast".

In the first year of Yuanzhen (1295), it was promoted to Yuyao Prefecture. In the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1369), the prefecture was abolished and the county was restored. On November 8, 1911 (September 18, the third year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty), Yuyao was "recovered".

On May 23, 1949, Yuyao was liberated. After the founding of New China, the territory changed many times. The biggest one was in 1954. The cotton area north of Dagutang was placed under Cixi County, and the rice area and mountainous area in the south of Cixi County were placed under Yuyao County. It has a history of more than 2,200 years.

Yuyao City has always been the seat of the county government. The ancient city consists of two cities, the south and the north. The two cities are integrated and unique. The North City was built in the fifth year of Jian'an (200) of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the South City was built in the Jiajing Period of the Ming Dynasty.

To this day, a considerable part of the original alley pattern, street scale, and river network in Yuyao City are still well preserved, and together with the patches of residential buildings, they form a relatively complete ancient city style. In 1985, with the approval of the State Council, Yuyao was removed from the county and established as a city, under the jurisdiction of Ningbo City. In 1995, Yuyao was upgraded to a second-class city by the State Council.
