In the sixth year of the Yonghui era of the Song Dynasty (655), Xieshi Town was established; in the eleventh year of the Kaiyuan era (723), Xieshi Market was set up; during the Huichang era (841–844), Xieshi Town was reinstated; and in the fourth year of the Jianyan era of the Southern Song Dynasty (1130), Xieshi Stockade was established. The area has long been known for its strong academic tradition, honest folk customs, and a wealth of notable figures. It boasts cultural sites such as the former residences of Xu Zhimo and Zhang Zongxiang, as well as the Qian Juntao Art Research Museum. Xieshi lanterns are also widely renowned.
