According to the archaeological excavations excavated from qinghe village in Bao'en Township, Quxian County, Tangqu River Basin, it is confirmed that there was human activity in Dazhou City in the late Paleolithic Period (around 20,000 BC).
Dazhou Xia Dynasty belonged to Liang Prefecture, and Yin Shang belonged to Yong Prefecture. The earliest indigenous people were the Xian people, who established the State of Qi (present-day Tuxi Town, Qu County). At the beginning of the Warring States period, the Ba people migrated from the Han River to the Yangtze River Basin, and the Dazhou area was incorporated into the Baguo territory.
In 316 BC, Qin destroyed Bashu, and during the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty, the Dazhou region set up Tangqu County (set up in 314 BC).
In the eighth year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (96), Xuanhan County was established in the east of The Eastern Han Dynasty. In the sixth year of Jian'an (201), Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang established Basi County, and the Dazhou area belonged to Yizhou Bashi County.
In the third year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (347), chenghan was destroyed, and the county of Bashi was divided into Dangqu County, and the three counties of Xuanhan, Hanxing (i.e., Hanchang), and Tangqu County were taken.
During the early years of Liu Songyong (420-422), Xuanhan County was baqu county, which had jurisdiction over seven counties: Xuanhan, Sixing, Baqu, Dongguan, Xin'an, Xiapu, and Jinxing.
In the second year of the Southern Liang Dynasty (536), Baqu County was abolished and placed in Wanzhou, with jurisdiction over seven counties, including Kaiba County, Xin'an County, Wanrong County, and Dongguan County.
In the second year of the Western Wei Dynasty (553), Wanzhou was renamed Tongzhou.
