Historical evolution

The origin of the name

It is said that emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty went north to fight against Xiongnu, and his troops were trapped in Pingcheng (today's Datong). When he got rid of the encirclement, the army withdrew to the South and got rid of the pursuit at Xinkou. Gaozu broke his sorrow and laughed, and the six armies were happy to return. Because "Xin" was connected with "Xin", the name of Xinzhou came into being.
