Historical evolution

Xing'an was inhabited as far back as the Neolithic age. During the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, the county belongs to the territory of Chu.

In the 26th year of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty (221 BC), the first emperor of Qin unified the six countries, implemented the system of prefectures and counties, established Lingling County, and ruled the first city of Xing'an County. In the 33rd year of Emperor Qinshihuang (214 BC), Emperor Qinshihuang ordered Shilu to build Lingqu; in the same year, Qincheng was built in Rongjiang town of Xing'an.

In the third year of emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (204 BC), Longchuan of Nanhai County ordered Zhao Tuo to seize Guilin county and Xiangjun county to establish Nanyue state while Chu and Han were fighting and unable to take care of Lingnan. In 196 BC, Zhao Tuo built Yuecheng near Xingan County. In the sixth year of Yuanding (111 BC), Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty pacified Lingnan. The following year, South Vietnam perished. In the same year, Shi'an county (including Lingui, Yangshuo, Yongfu, Lingchuan and the southwest of Xing'an) was established in today's Guilin City, which belongs to Lingling county and is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou thorn envoy.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Shi'an county was upgraded to a county, but it still belonged to the CI envoys of Jingzhou. In the Western Jin Dynasty, Shi'an was under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou County, while the Xiangjiang River Basin in Xing'an still belonged to Lingling county.

In the sixth year of Tianjian (507) of emperor Liang Wu in the northern and Southern Dynasties, Guangzhou county was divided and Guizhou was set up in Guilin. Shi'an county was under the jurisdiction of Guizhou. In 559 A.D., Lingling county was abolished, and the area of Xingan Xiangjiang River, which originally belonged to Lingling County, was incorporated into Shi'an county. The scope of Xing'an County was basically determined and completely separated from Lingling county. It is adjacent to Quanzhou in the north to Jieshou Town, Gaoshang in the south, Rongjiang and Lingchuan in the south, and Yuechengling in the west, including Jinshi, Huajiang and Longsheng in the big and small Rongjiang river basins It is bounded by Lingchuan and Ziyuan, reaching the deep mountains of Dupangling in the East, and adjacent to Quanzhou and Guanyang.

After the unification of China in the Sui Dynasty, Shi'an county was still under the jurisdiction of Shi'an County, and the whole county of Xing'an belonged to today's Guangxi. After the Sui Dynasty died, the Tang Empire withdrew the counties and established the prefectures, which increased the number of prefectures and counties and narrowed the scope of administrative divisions for management.

In 621, Li Jing, the great general of Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty, defeated Xiao MI, emperor of Liang Dynasty, and conquered more than 50 cities in the south of the five ridges. In Shi'an County, today's Xing'an area was delineated, and Linyuan county was set up (because Xing'an County is the birthplace of Xiangjiang River and Lijiang River), which was the beginning of the independent establishment of Xing'an County. Subordinate to Guizhou, the county is located in chengtailing (now the site of Xing'an middle school). In the third year of zongdali (768) of Tang Dynasty, General Zhu Jishi of Guizhou rebelled against the Tang Dynasty with Feng chongdao of Panyu, Guangzhou. Zhu captured more than 10 counties and cities around him, but the officials and people in Linyuan County insisted on it, so Zhu could not attack it for a long time. After Zhu Ji, Wang Pingding, the governor of Rongguan, changed the name of the county to "Quanyi county" in order to praise the loyalty of the county's officials and people. In April of 879, the peasant uprising army led by Huang Chao captured Guizhou, and immediately moved north to build a "Yellow City" in the Rongjiang area of Xing'an. In the third year of Guanghua of Tang Dynasty (AD 900), Ma Yin of Hunan took advantage of the peasant uprising to capture many counties and prefectures such as Guizhou, Hezhou and Liuzhou. In 908, he called himself Emperor Chu. At this time, the later Jin emperor Chonggui was unable to manage Quanyi County occupied by Ma Yin. In 946, Quanyi county was still promoted to Puzhou, and its name was changed to Dechang County. It was not until the failure of Ma Yin in the first year of Qianyou (948) of Liu Zhiyuan, the emperor of the later Han Dynasty, that Dechang was under the jurisdiction of the later Han Dynasty.

In the first year of Qiande (963), song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin abolished Puzhou, restored Quanyi county and returned to Guizhou. In 976, his younger brother Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne. Because the word "Yi" of Quanyi violated his name taboo, Quanyi county was renamed "Xing'an County" in the following year (977, the second year of Taiping's rejuvenation of the state), which means "prosperous and stable", and was still under the jurisdiction of Guizhou. The name of Xing'an has always been used.

Yuan belongs to Jingjiang road. The Ming and Qing Dynasties belonged to Guilin.

In the second year of the Republic of China (1913), it was subordinate to Lijiang road in July; in the third year of the Republic of China (1914), it was subordinate to Guilin road in June; in the 16th year of the Republic of China (1927), it was directly subordinate to Guangxi provincial government; in the 19th year of the Republic of China (1930), it was subordinate to Guilin militia district; in the 23rd year of the Republic of China (1934), it was subordinate to Guilin administrative supervision district; in the 29th year of the Republic of China (1940), it was subordinate to Guilin administrative supervision district; in the 31st year of the Republic of China（ In March 1942, it was directly under the Guangxi provincial government. In May 1944, it was under the eighth district. In March 1947, it was directly under the Guangxi provincial government. In April of the same year, it was under the eighth District until liberation. After liberation, it belongs to Guilin area, and after 1970, it belongs to Guilin area.

In 1998, Guilin city and Guilin area merged, and Xing'an County was under the jurisdiction of Guilin city.

administrative division

By the end of 2014, Xing'an County had six towns, including Xing'an Town, Xiangli Town, Jieshou Town, Gaoshang Town, Yanguan town and Rongjiang Town, and four townships, including Muchuan Township, Baishi Township, Cuijia Township and Huajiang Yao township. The county government was stationed at 51 Santai Road, Xing'an town.

geographical environment

Location context

Xing'an County is located in the northeast of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, bordering Guanyang County in the southeast, Lingchuan County in the southwest, Longsheng Autonomous County in the northwest, Ziyuan County in the north and Quanzhou County in the northeast. The total area of Xing'an County is 2348 square kilometers, between 110 ° 14 ′ - 110 ° 56 ′ E and 25 ° 17 ′ - 25 ° 55 ′ n.

geological structure

Xing'an County is located in the southeast margin of the west part of Jiangnan ancient land and the north of Hunan Guangxi fold belt. The geological development has gone through three stages: pre Devonian geosyncline (about 2.5-4 billion years ago), Late Paleozoic platform (about 4-230 million years ago) and Meso Cenozoic continental margin active belt (200-300 million years ago to present). The Xing'an area has experienced three strong fold and fault movements of Caledonian, Indosinian and Yanshan. The Caledonian movement mainly formed fold structure, followed by fault, accompanied by the intrusion of granitic batholith. After the tectonic movement, the geosyncline returned, and the geosyncline development stage came to an end. The Indosinian movement was dominated by fold and fault activities, which resulted in the formation of platform cover structure and the end of marine sedimentation. The Yanshanian movement was dominated by faulting, followed by folding. After this tectonic movement, the geological structure in the area was finalized. The fold and fault structures formed by the three tectonic movements are regularly distributed along the NE direction. The similarity of the structural development direction in different periods reflects that the cover structure inherits the direction of the basement structure and the control of the basement structure on the cover structure, and also reflects the relationship between the mechanical properties of the geological structure, that is, the formation of the fold and fault in the area is mainly controlled by the NW and Se directions As a result of tectonic compression, fold structures such as Maoershan anticline, Xing'an syncline, Haiyangshan dome and regional large faults such as Rongjiang and Baishi were formed.

topographic features

The terrain in Xing'an County is diverse and complex, with mountains in the northwest and Southeast, and valleys and streams crisscross. In the northwest, there is Yuechengling mountain system, which gradually inclines to the southwest. In the southeast is the ocean mountain system of Dupangling, which gradually inclines to the northeast. It forms a long and narrow valley between the two mountain systems, which is called "Xiang Gui corridor", in which there are Tuling, Shishan and valley plain. Linyuanling in the middle of the corridor is the commanding point, and Xiangjiang River and Lingqu are diverted from the northeast and southwest of the east suburb of the county. The whole terrain is like a butterfly, the northeast corner is like the head of a butterfly, the southwest corner is like the tail of a butterfly, and the southeast and northwest are like the spread wings. The mountains in Xing'an County belong to Yuechengling mountain system and Dupangling ocean mountain system. There are 111 peaks with an altitude of more than 500 meters, including 36 peaks with an altitude of more than 1000 meters.

climate

Xing'an County is located near the Tropic of cancer and belongs to the humid monsoon climate zone in the middle subtropics, with suitable temperature, abundant rainfall, long sunshine time, more accumulated temperature and short frost period. The terrain in the southeast and northwest of the county is high, while the terrain in the northeast and southwest is low. The Xianggui corridor in the middle of the county is centered on the watershed near the county. The terrain falls with the Xiangjiang River to the northeast and decreases with the Lijiang River to the southwest, forming a complex regional climate characteristics in the county. The regional differences of water and heat conditions are very obvious.

In spring (March to May), the cold and warm air exchange frequently, which often leads to long-term low temperature and rainy weather. During the season, the southwest wind and northeast wind alternate, the convective weather is strengthened, and hail and rainstorm are common in some areas. During the first ten days of June to the first ten days of July in summer (June to August), the rainfall is concentrated, the rainstorm increases, and the flood occurs occasionally. At the same time, the temperature and humidity increased from mid July to early August
