Evolution of organizational system

The origin of the name

According to the unified annals of Yuan Dynasty, He county was named after the peace talks between Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty. Because of the same name with Hexian County in Anhui Province, the word "Jiaxi" was used.

Historical evolution

According to the archaeological findings of ningjiazhuang site, human life existed in Xihe during the Neolithic period 7000 years ago. Ningjiazhuang site is also the earliest human site in Longnan, which belongs to Yangshao culture.

In the pre Qin period, the northern part of Xihe county was the activity area of the Qin people, which was successively under the jurisdiction of Xiqiu, xichui and Xixian County, where the Qin people raised horses and made their fortune; the southern part of Xihe county was inhabited by Diqiang people.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the North was under the jurisdiction of Xi county, and the South was under the jurisdiction of Wudu County.

At the end of Han Dynasty, baimadi people reunited in Qiuchi.

During the period of Wei, Jin and southern and Northern Dynasties, baimadi people established the local regime of "Qiu Chi state" with Qiu Chi mountain as the center, which lasted for 358 years, and the administrative divisions also changed due to the frequent wars.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Changdao County was set up in the north, belonging to Qinzhou, and Shanglu and Hanlu counties were set up in the south, belonging to Chengzhou.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Changdao County was established and changed to minzhou.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Guanlong area was the front of the fierce battle between Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty. In 1139, the Southern Song Dynasty court was forced to move minzhou to Baishi Town, Changdao County. In 1142, the song and Jin Dynasties discussed peace. Because the word "Min" in minzhou violated the name taboo of Wan Yanmin, the emperor Taizu of Jin Dynasty, the original name of Hezheng county (minzhou) was changed to Hezhou. Later, because there was a Hezhou in Huaixi (now Hexian County in Anhui Province), the word "Hezhou" was preceded by the word "Xi" to distinguish it, so it was named xihezhou. Since then, the political situation has gone through changes, but the name of Xihe is still used.

In the tenth year of Hongwu (1377), the state was changed into a county and was transferred to the present city; in the ninth year of Chongzhen (1636), Shangcheng (Shangping village, Xiyu township) was transferred to the present city due to the disaster of war.

In the Qing Dynasty, in 1648, the government of gongchang in Zhili was established. In 1704, Nancheng was expanded and the present city was transferred.

In the Republic of China, gongchangjie road was changed to Longnan Road, governing Xihe and other counties, and Weizhou road was changed to govern Tianshui; in 1927, the system of Daoism was abolished, and Xihe belonged to Tianshui district. Before liberation, parts of Xihe and Lixian were divided into different regions.

After liberation, Xihe first belonged to Wudu District, and then to Tianshui District in 1956. In September 1958, Xihe and Lixian were merged into Xili county. In 1961, the former Xihe system was restored. In 1985, it was changed to Longnan area, which is now Longnan City.

In 2004, Daliu, Zhaowu, Hekou and Xiji townships were abolished. After the adjustment, Xihe county has jurisdiction over 6 towns and 14 townships. By the end of 2008, Xihe county had a total area of 1856.3 square kilometers. The rural population is 76400 households and 372400 people. It has jurisdiction over 6 towns, 14 townships, 384 administrative villages and 1757 villager groups. In 2014, Hanyuan Town, Changdao town and Heba town were listed as national key towns. In the same year, Mayuan Township, Daqiao Township and Xiyu Township were abolished, and Mayuan Town, Daqiao town and Xiyu town were established. In September 2016, Shili Township, Shibao Township and Xinglong Township were abolished and Shili Town, Shibao town and Xinglong town were established. In March 2018, Suhe Township, Shaoyu Township, Luhe Township and xigaoshan Township were abolished and Suhe Town, Shaoyu Town, Luhe town and xigaoshan town were established.
