The current Jiangxia District was formerly known as ShaXian (沙羡), the Warring States Chuyi (楚邑), and Shaxian (沙羨) was the name of an ancient county. The correct pronunciation of the word "shaqian" should be sha yí. Sha Xian Ya Gate was located in Present-day Xijinkou, Jiangxia District, Wuhan, Hubei Province.
Jiangxia Jinkou
As an ancient administrative establishment unit in Wuhan, ShaXian had its history first in the Chu state during the Warring States period, and around 350 BC Chu set sha qi in Tukou (now Jinkou). At present, Jinkou still has the name of Shaxian Street.
After qin destroyed the six kingdoms to unify the world, Qin Shi Huang abolished the sub-feudal system and established a county system, and in 246 BC, King Yingzheng of Qin assigned Sha Xian to Nan County, one of the thirty-six counties.
Bounded by Hanshui and Nanyang Commandery to the north, Wu and Chugu and Jiujiang Commandery to the east, Dongting Lake and Changsha County to the south, Wuguan and Hanzhong County to the northwest, and Wuling Mountains and Qianzhong County to the southwest, nanjun encompassed most of present-day Hubei.
Shaxian was located in the east of Nan County, and had jurisdiction over present-day Hanyang, Hankou, and the counties and cities of Xianning, Jiayu, and Puxi in southern Hubei.
The specific scope of Shaxian County during the Great Qin Empire was the territory of present-day Wuhan City, Wuchang, Hanyang and the south of Hankou, the southern border of Hanchuan City, the northern border of Chongyang County, Jiayu County, Xianning City, and the whole territory of Puxi County.
After the Battle of Chibi in 223 AD, the nine counties of Jingxiang, Jiangxia, Guiyang, and Changsha all belonged to Sun Quan of the State of Wu. The State of Wu divided the southwestern border of ShaXian and placed Puxi County under the jurisdiction of Changsha County.
In 350 BC (the nineteenth year of King Xian of Zhou), Xiong Liangfu ,reigned 369 BC – 340 BC) of Chu Xuan established Shaxian County in Tukou (present-day Jinkou, Jiangxia District, Wuhan).
It was later renamed Rincheon County, and five years later it reverted to its old name. According to the Book of Han, in the sixth year of Han Gaozu (201 BC), Liu Bang carved out the part of the land east of Jinling County from Nan Commandery and set up Jiangxia County, which had jurisdiction over 14 counties, and the county was located in Xiling County (present-day West of Xinzhou District, Wuhan).
At that time, Wuchang was under the jurisdiction of Exian County, and Hanyang belonged to Shiyang County, both of which were under the administration of Jiangxia County.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Jiangxia had jurisdiction over present-day Wuhan, present-day Xianning City, Jiayu, Puxi, Chongyang, Tongshan and other places. Historically, it once came under the jurisdiction of Shaxian County, Runan, Wuchang, Yingzhou, and Jiangxia County.
Shaxian County was one of the 14 counties of Jiangxia County, and today's Wuchang and Hongshan Districts and Jiangxia District were all under the jurisdiction of Shaxian County at that time.
Later, Jiangxia underwent many changes in history, and the area slowly became smaller step by step.
In 1912 (the first year of the Republic of China), it began to have the name of Wuchang County (now Jiangxia District), and the county government was located in present-day Wuchang District.
At that time, the office of the Wuchang County Government was in Changchun Temple.
At the beginning of the liberation period, the county government was located in the Changchun Temple at the Great East Gate of Wuchang.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the Wuchang County People's Government was established in Fujiapo, Wuchang District, Wuhan City, which was subordinate to Daye Special District. In 1952, it was transferred to the jurisdiction of Xiaogan Prefecture, and Qingshan District was under the jurisdiction of Wuchang County until 1955. In November 1959, Wuchang County was transferred to Wuhan City.
In the early 1960s, due to the redivide of the administrative area of Wuhan, the Wuchang County government moved to PaperFang Town. Legend has it that the name of the paper mill comes from a papermaking workshop next to the ancient post road.
In April 1961, it was assigned to the Xiaogan Special District.
In 1965, it was assigned to Xianning Special District.
In November 1975, Wuchang County was again assigned to Wuhan City and became one of the suburban counties of Wuhan City.
In 1995, Wuchang County was renamed Jiangxia from a suburb of Wuhan to a distant district of Wuhan.

Now the Jiangxia District Government has moved from the paper mill to the intersection of Cultural Avenue and Jinlong Avenue, and a large leisure wetland park has been built opposite the district government, which is Jiangxia Grand Park. Friends have the opportunity to go and have fun.

In 1988, the East Lake New Technology Development Zone was officially established, and Jiangxia Fozuling, Leopard, Liufang, etc. were included in the East Lake New Development Zone.
In 2000, the Wuhan Municipal Government entrusted the Zhengqiao, Maodian, Dongshan, Zhoudian and Zhengyuan Neighborhood Committees under the jurisdiction of Miaoshan to the East Lake Development Zone.
The area of Jiangxia District is now 2018 square kilometers. Jiangxia has four major lakes: Liangzi Lake, Axe Lake, Tangxun Lake and Luhu Lake. There are also some small lakes, such as Daoshi Lake, West Lake, Shenshan Lake and many other small lakes.
At present, Jiangxia District is the largest urban area in China with a lake area, and the water area accounts for nearly one-third of the area. Among them, Lake Tomson is the largest lake in china. On the second side of the intercity railway Temple Hill Station in jiangxia Avenue in the middle of Tangxun Lake, there are many livable old communities such as Meinan Mountain Residence and Tangxun Lake Mountain Temple.

The temple mountain and wuli boundary in Jiangxia have developed rapidly in the past decade, and there are many high-rise buildings. The number of migrant workers who live in Miaoshan and Wulijie and work in Daguang Valley is large. In particular, due to the low house price, Wulijie has been favored by people.
The current Jiangxia is the best developed area in the far city of Wuhan, with green mountains and clear water, fresh air; the largest per capita green area, which is a good place for living and pension.
