historical background

Yongzhou is known as "Xiaoxiang" since ancient times because of the confluence of Xiangjiang River and Xiaoshui river. It is the location of "Xiaoxiang night rain" and "Pingzhou spring rise" which are the first eight scenic spots in Hunan. Lu You, a poet of the Song Dynasty, praised Yongzhou for its outstanding people and picturesque scenery with a poem of "if you don't reach Xiaoxiang, there will be no poem".

At the confluence of Xiangjiang River and Xiaoshui River in the north of Yongzhou ancient city, there used to be a very prosperous and famous Xiaoxiang town. It has a long history. It originated in the Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Five Dynasties, continued in the song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and declined in the early years of the Republic of China. It has gone through seven dynasties for more than 1200 years. It is really a millennium old town.

Xiaoxiang temple, located on the opposite bank of Pingdao island and on the East Bank of Xiaoshui, is the only Xiangfei Temple along the Xiangjiang River. It records the earliest love story in China - the legend of the relationship between Yushun and Xiangfei.
