In the Han Dynasty, Taihang Mountain in the west of Shijiazhuang was always one of the important metallurgical bases for manufacturing weapons, armor, metal coins and production tools, hence the names "Yehe" and "Cecilia Yip (South Cecilia Yip Village, North Cecilia Yip Village and West Cecilia Yip Village)". The Han and Tang Dynasties witnessed the revival and prosperity of Buddhism and Taoism in China, and the religious culture of Hengzhou and Zhaozhou also left a splendid chapter in the religious history of China. Bailin Temple in Zhaozhou, according to legend, was founded in the Eastern Han Dynasty and is the oldest Buddhist temple in Hebei. The most brilliant historical achievement in the Sui and Tang Dynasties culture in Shijiazhuang is the Anji Bridge in Zhaozhou, which is recognized as the originator of the world's large open-shouldered stone arch bridge, occupies a prominent position in the history of bridge construction in the world, and has been recognized as the world's human cultural heritage by the United Nations. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, cultural celebrities in Shijiazhuang were Kevin·Z and Li Jifu. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Fu Bi, Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu, Shen Kuo, Su Shi and other famous ministers worked in Hebei successively, and all left footprints in Zhengding (now Zhengding), which promoted the economic and cultural prosperity of this area.

The representative works of Shijiazhuang's architectural artistic achievements in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties are the bridge buildings and temples of Fuqing Temple in Cangyan Mountain, Jingxing. The bridge and the temple are integrated, flying in the air between deep streams in thousands of feet, like a dancing rainbow. The design form is ingenious and the building is majestic and steep, which reflects the superb architectural technology and aesthetic attainments of the working people at that time. In the field of artistic creation, there are famous murals of Pilu Temple in Shangjing. These murals have inherited and developed the traditional techniques of ancient murals in China, and reached a high level in composition, line drawing, color and character modeling. At this time, the achievements of natural science are also very fruitful. On the Fenglong Mountain, Ye Li, a famous mathematician and scholar, made brilliant achievements in the academic research of mathematical Tianyuan, which laid the foundation of China's elementary algebra and marked the highest achievement of world mathematics in13rd century.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Pinghan Railway (now Beijing-Guangzhou Railway) and Zheng Tai Railway (now Shitai Railway) were built one after another and met here. Shijiazhuang developed gradually with the construction of railway. 1925, the city was originally named Shijiazhuang (later renamed Shimen).

Today's downtown Shijiazhuang is full of high-rise buildings and wide streets. "Minxin River" surrounds the city like a jade belt, and more than 20 parks along the river decorate the city like flowers.
