During the period of Sixteen States, except that Daxia governs the whole territory of today's Ningxia, the former Qin Dynasty and the latter Qin Dynasty also failed to effectively rule today's Yinchuan area.

In 426, tuobatao attacked Daxia and established Huaiyuan County (zhiliziyuan), which is now Xixia District of Yinchuan city. In 436, bogulu town was set up. Now Xixia District of Yinchuan city is under the jurisdiction of bogulu town.

In the fourth year of Xianping (1001) of the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Jiqian, the leader of Dangxiang nationality, captured five towns outside the Yellow River, such as Huaiyuan. Now Xixia District of Yinchuan city is occupied by the members of Tuoba Dangxiang nationality.
