About 5 BC, Changsha ancestors began to live a settled life, formed villages and entered matriarchal society; About 3 BC, Changsha entered the Qujialing cultural stage in the Neolithic Age. About 25 BC, the Neolithic Age in Changsha entered the stage of Longshan culture. At this time, with primitive agriculture, fishing and hunting were still an important means for people to make a living, and the primitive pottery making industry and stone processing technology further developed, resulting in primitive textile and jade processing technologies. The relationship between Shang and Zhou Dynasties before Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties and the Central Plains Dynasty before Shang and Zhou Dynasties Legend has it that the ancestors Yan and Huang Di both visited Changsha.

Sima Qian's Historical Records of the Five Emperors says that the Yellow Emperor once "crossed the mountain passage, reached the river in the south, and climbed the bear and Hunan", and later sealed the land of Changsha to his son Shao Haoshi (Luo Bi's History of the Road in the Song Dynasty recorded that Shao Haoshi "started in Yunyang, and laid the soil in Changsha" (meaning to reward) Changsha, the land of ancient three seedlings in Xia Dynasty; By the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the kingdom of Sanmiao disappeared, but the descendants of Sanmiao still lived and multiplied in this land. At this time, Changsha belonged to "Yangyue" (also called "Jingman"), which was called "the land of Yangyue" in history. As an ancient Yue people (a branch of the Vietnamese people in ancient Changsha), it created and formed a distinctive Yue culture at this time, and its most representative feature was the hard pottery with geometric patterns printed.

During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the northern Central Plains dynasty fought frequently against the southern "Jing Man" and "Yang Yue". Although they failed to establish their direct rule here, the "land of Yang Yue" once became the "southern service" of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, forcing Jing Man to submit to tribute. "Yizhoushu Wanghui" records that the construction of Luoyi was successful at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, and governors from all sides came to congratulate him. Among the tributes, there was a kind of "Changsha turtle", which was the earliest record that the name "Changsha" appeared in historical records.

The ancient Yue people in Changsha still live in thatched semi-crypt houses and live a clan life, mainly using stone tools and relying on slash and burn in production.

In the middle of Shang Dynasty, bronze casting technology was introduced into the Central Plains, and bronze tools, such as copper axe, were used and manufactured. By the late Western Zhou Dynasty, copper hoes (an important tool for loosening soil) and copper plugs (i.e. rakes, agricultural tools for loosening soil and digging up soil) appeared. Moreover, bronze containers and musical instruments with exquisite shapes and ornamentation have been made. A large number of Shang and Zhou bronzes unearthed in Changsha, most of which have high technological level and distinctive Yue style; In 1938, Ningxiang graduated from the famous Four Sheep Square Zun, which is a treasure in Shang and Zhou bronzes.

Changsha ended the primitive state that lasted for more than 1 years since Shang and Zhou Dynasties and directly entered the feudal society. When Chu arrived in Chu Huaiwang, the country became weaker, and vassal countries, especially Qin, launched wars against Chu many times.
