到咗三國陣，吳國啲勢力慢慢埋到來嶺南呢度。喺217年番禺變咗做交州嘅治所。到246年吳國拆開交州成「交州」同「廣州」兩個建制，合浦以南就係「交州」，合浦以北就係「廣州」。廣州治所放喺番禺度。呢個就係「廣州」個名嘅起源。創始陣廣州統轄啲地方好大，包咗南海、蒼梧、鬱林、合浦四郡。1921年陣廣州城度搞起市政廳，廣東省城（廣州府）就改咗名成「廣州市」，廣州市做咗中華民國第一個建制市，係民國嘅模範市。民國呢陣時，廣東人仲嗌廣州做省城或者番禺。舊底南海亦由廣州管轄，宜家就畀咗佛山市打理。
When they arrived at the Three Kingdoms Array, a little force of Wu slowly entered Lingnan here. In 217, Panyu changed the governance of Jiaozhou. In 246, the state of Wu split Jiaozhou into two systems, "Jiaozhou" and "Guangzhou", south of Hepu is "Jiaozhou", and north of Hepu is "Guangzhou". The Guangzhou administration is placed in Panyu. This is the origin of the name "Guangzhou". The founding formation of Guangzhou has a large area, including the four counties of Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin and Hepu. In 1921, the city hall was established in the city of Guangzhou, and the city of Guangdong Province (Guangzhou Prefecture) was renamed "Guangzhou City", and Guangzhou became the first organized city of the Republic of China and was a model city of the Republic of China. Nowadays, Cantonese people still call Guangzhou the provincial capital or Panyu. The Old Bottom South China Sea was also under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou, and is now under the administration of Foshan City.
