Shanghai is the most splendid pearl inlaid along the eastern coast of China.The abbreviated form of Shanghai is "Hu" or "Shen."Shanghai was originally a fishing village. In Chinese language,"Hu "refersto the rails made of bamboo strips and ropes which are planted on the sand beaches to catchfish by using the rises and falls of tides. Hence"Hu"was adopted as a short form forShanghai.The other abbreviated form of Shanghai is "Shen." It was because during the WarringStates period （475-221 B.C.）, Shanghai was the fief of Huang Xie （？-238 B.C.）, LordChunshen of the state of Chu. It proves that Shanghai has a very long history.Shanghai is a both old and young city.Shanghai is old because after the formation of the land in West Shanghai about 6,000years ago, the present-day Songze Village in Qingpu District was inhabited by the ancestorsof Shanghai people, who grew paddy rice and made pottery wares on the land. Over 700years ago （in the third year of the Xianchun reign period of the Southern Song Dynasty,or 1276）, Shanghai Town was set up at the place where the Wusong River （the present-day Suzhou River） and Shanghaipu, the branch of the Yellow River, meet. In 1291 （or the28th year of the Zhiyuan reign period of the Yuan Dynasty）, Shanghai Town was renamedShanghai County. Shanghai is young because Shanghai has only a history of over 200 years after it wasopened as a harbor city. After the Opium War in 1840, the Western Great Powers openedconcessions one after another in Shanghai, turning Shanghai into the"Paradise forAdventures." Shanghai is young because it was not until May 27, 1949 when Shanghai was liberatedthat Shanghai truly became a city full of vitality.
