In 620, Gaotang county was set up in wangzhuangbao village, 33 kilometers southwest of today's urban area. GAOTANG county was abolished in the first year of Zhenguan (627), because the name of Yong'an county was the same as that of Yong'an County in Fuzhou (now Fengjie County in Chongqing). Because Zheng Xing was known for his filial piety, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty Li Shimin changed Yong'an County into Xiaoyi County, belonging to Fenzhou, and changed Zheng Xing's hometown into Xiaoyi Li. In addition, according to the records of Fang Yu, the county is named after Xiaoshui and Yishui. In 976, in order to avoid the taboo of Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi, Zhongyang County was changed.
