 Zhuji is one of the places that ancient Yue peoples in our country lived together. Legend in the history said that, Yu (name of an ancient hero who successfully controlled floods) reached the place of great Yue, he gathered all seigneurs together at Miaoshan Mountain and resided here. The nobilities had virtuousness and were rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and so he named this area as “Zhuji”, with the meaning that it is the place for all seigneurs who had reached and stayed to discuss official affairs.
