Historical evolution

In the Shang Dynasty, the name "Xigu" appeared in the northern mountain area of Xixia, Henan Province. "Xigu" refers to the mountainous area in the north of Xixia. However, the emergence of the concept of "Xi" is of great significance to the later naming of this area as "Xi Shui" (that is, Xi Shui, the old Guanhe River in Xixia today), "Xi Yi" (Yi means county), "Xi Xian", etc.

According to the "spring and autumn Zuozhuan" records: at the end of the spring and Autumn period, there is a "white feather" in Xixia County. In the 16th year of King Xiang of Zhou Dynasty (636 BC), Bai Yu was changed to "Xi". At that time, there was "Xi Yi", which belonged to Chu. However, due to the competition for territory among the countries, especially the external expansion of Qin, there were many wars on the border between Qin and Chu, so the "analysis of the city" belonged to Chu and Qin, and changed repeatedly.

In the spring and Autumn period, when the state of Chu set up "Xiyi", it set up "Liyi" at the same time in the north of today's Neixiang County (Shenying village, Zhaodian township). Li Yi was harassed by the border war between Qin and Chu as well as the Xiyi. In terms of regional ownership, it changed repeatedly from Chu to Qin.

In 221 BC, Qin unified the six states and implemented the system of prefectures and counties. Neixiang belonged to Nanyang Prefecture. Qin changed "Xiyi" to "Zhongxiang county" (named because it is located between Nanxiang and BEIXIANG). In the old days, there was a Nanxiang Township in Xichuan and a BEIXIANG Township in the north of Xixia (see Nanxiang county), "Liyi" was changed to "Lixian".

In the Western Han Dynasty, there were four counties in Neixiang: Li, Xi, Boshan and Danshui. At that time, Li county and Boshan County belonged to Nanyang County, and Jie county and Danshui County belonged to Hongnong county. "Xi" means "Xi". The so-called "Xi county" means that the original Zhongxiang county was renamed Xi county, and Li county was granted the title of Hou state.

In 420 ad, Liu Yu, the founding emperor of Liu Song Dynasty, divided Xi county into two counties, Xi county and Xiuyang county. But after a short time, these two counties were abolished, and Xi county no longer appeared.

Xiao Daocheng, the first emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty, maintained Shunyang County, changed Shunyang County into Nanxiang County, and divided Nanxiang county and Danshui County into Shunyang county. Li county is still Nanyang County. In the former Xixiakou County, a Xiyang County was established, and a new Gaiyang county was set up.

After the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty was moved to Luoyang, another Xiuyang county was built in the North Township of Xiyang County on the border of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and Xiuyang county was set up in the place where the Prefecture was located, closely opposite to Xiyang County and Gaiyang county set up in the Southern Qi Dynasty. In the first year of emperor Xiaochang, the yuan and Wei dynasties occupied the Neixiang area, and restored Xiuyang county to Xiyang County, retaining Gaiyang county and setting up Xizhou. Danshui county was upgraded to Danchuan County, Shunyang county was restored to Nanxiang County, and Xizhou was set up here. Nanxiang county was divided into two parts and a new Xichuan County was added (the name of Xichuan County appeared for the first time in History). However, Xichuan County was soon upgraded to the West Xiyang County, and the county government was located in today's Madeng town.

During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Western Wei Dynasty, Xiuyang County, Xiuyang county's Prefecture and Xiyang County were abolished, and Gaiyang county was changed into Neixiang County (the former site is near the present Xixia County), so the name "Neixiang County" began to appear. However, when the emperor was abolished in the Western Wei Dynasty (552), Neixiang County was changed to Zhongxiang county. The name of Neixiang County existed for 16 years. Xincheng County was changed into lintuan County in the Western Wei Dynasty. Xincheng County was established in 529 in the Yuan Dynasty and renamed in the Western Wei Dynasty. It existed for 16-20 years. Lintuan was the first time.

Yang Jian, the founding emperor of Sui Dynasty, rebuilt Nanxiang County in the original Nanxiang County in the third year of kaihuang (583), changed Xizhou into Xiyang County, abolished Xiyang County and Shunyang County, merged these places into Nanxiang county and Danshui county respectively, and put them under the jurisdiction of Xiyang County. He also restored lintuan county to Xincheng County, and changed Zhongxiang county to Neixiang County to avoid the taboo of his father Yang Zhong. This is the second time that the name "Neixiang County" appears. He also changed Li County into Jutan County, and moved its governance to the north, and divided Jutan county and Xincheng County into Nanyang County.

After the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, in 1230, Neixiang County was transferred from Xixiakou to Zhuyang Town, where Neixiang County is now located. The name of Neixiang County remained unchanged, which was a significant change in the history of Neixiang County. Neixiang County, located in Xixiakou, started from the establishment of Xiyi County in the spring and Autumn period, changed its name to Xixian County, Gaiyang County, Zhongxiang County, Xiyang County, Xizhou County, Neixiang County, etc., and then moved to xixixiakou County in the Late Jin Dynasty. It lasted about 1860 years. It is the longest place of Jianyi County in Neixiang County.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan abolished Shunyang county and merged it into Neixiang County. In 1265, Boshan county was abolished and merged into Neixiang County. At this time, the jurisdiction of Neixiang County included the original Boshan, Shunyang, Danshui, Xichuan, Li County, Jutan, moshui, lintuan and other counties. This is the largest county in the history of Neixiang County. At that time, Neixiang County belonged to Nanyang Prefecture.

In 1471, according to the proposal of Yang Xuan, the governor of Henan Province, the ten baos in the western part of Neixiang were divided and Xichuan County was rebuilt. This time, the county government moved to the North Bank of Danjiang River.

In May 1948, the area to the north of Tianguan and Yuandian in Neixiang County was designated. Xixia County was established for a short time, and then it was incorporated into Neixiang County again in January 1949. In December of the same year, Neixiang County and Xixia County were set up again to optimize the treatment.

In March 1953, 250 households in Xiaojie and jiajiwo of Shimiao Township, Mashankou District, Neixiang County, and Xuying and fengzishan natural villages of Yuegang Township were assigned to Nanzhao county and Zhenping county respectively.

After agricultural cooperation in 1955, Neixiang County assigned Yanzi and other villages in Shigang district to Deng County, huliuying and Liangying in Deng County, zhangloufang, Dayu and Huangying in Xixia County, and Dadonggou and Xiaodonggou in Nanzhao county to Neixiang County.
