History of the Territory of the Modern Province of Zhejiang The territory of Zhejiang did not belong to the Xia Dynasty (1989-1558), Shang Dynasty (1556-1046 BC). The Zhou Dynasty (1046-221 BC) expanded into Zhejiang. During the Spring and Autumn Period (770-403), the territory of modern Zhejiang first was divided among Wu (N) and Yue (S); then Wu was conquered by Yue in 473 BC, which was conquered by Chu in 334, which again was conquered by Qin in 225-223. Zhejiang thus was under Qin (223-206) under Western Han (221 BC - 8 AD), Xin 8-22 AD and Eastern Han 25-220. Then Zhejiang was under Wu (Sun Wu, 222-280), Western Jin 265-317, Eastern Jin, From c.420 to 581, Zhejiang was under the Southern Dynasties until Sui (581-618) again reunited China. Sui was followed by Tang (618-907). During the Five Dynasties and 10 States Period, Zhejiang territory was contested by the Wuyue and the Kingdom of Wu (renamed Southern Tang). Zhejiang was reunited under Northern Song (960-1127). and Southern Song (1127-1279), followed by Yuan (1234-1368), Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911), the Republic of China (1911-1949). Since 1949 Zhejiang forms part of the People's Republic of China.
