On September 1950, the city proper was again separated as Shaoxing Municipality and Shaoxing County was reestablished. The municipality and the county shared Shaoxing city as the seat of their respective governments. On February 21, 1958, the municipality was abolished and integrated with the county again. On January 11, 1962, the urban Shaoxing became Shaoxing Municipality again, but as part of the county. On January 3, 1963, the municipality was canceled and was renamed as Chengguan Township as part of Shaoxing County. On March 31, 1981, the county was canceled and Shaoxing Municipality was established as a city at county level.
