History
The region around Zhuji has been settled since Neolithic times and was the origin of the Wuyue culture. [1]During the Spring and Autumn Period, it was the birthplace of the legendary beauty Xi Shi.[2] After the state of Yue was absorbed into the unification of China, Qin Shi Huang formally codified the boundaries of Zhuji as a county in 222 BC. This status remained intact until 1989, when the State Council reclassified Zhuji as a city.
Economy
Its modern civic strengths include an excellent educational system and robust economic development, especially in the production of pearls, socks and embroidery machinery Datang.[3] Due to its pearl production, the city has become known as "The Pearl City".
