According to Taiping Huanyu Ji, Volume 86, Nanchong County of Guozhou said: "take the name of Guchong." The second part of Sichuan volume of "explanation of prefectures and counties": "the name of Han Dynasty was filled with country and county, which means enrichment. At that time, people were prosperous, so it was said. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanchong was located in the south of the state. " After going to the word "state", Nanchong county was named. Today Nanchong City is named after this.

Nanchong was developed earlier, and its ancestors lived in the Neolithic age.

Xia Dynasty was the country of "Youguo family", which belonged to Liangzhou in Shang and Zhou dynasties.

In the spring and Autumn period, the state of Chong (588-318 BC) was formed. It was one of the four powerful regimes in Sichuan Basin at that time (BA, Shu, Chong, Ju). Nanchong was named Nanchong because it was located in the south of Chongguo.

In the late Warring States period, the state of BA was defeated by the state of Chu in succession, so the target of the struggle was set on the state of Shu in the West. Chong state and Shu state formed an alliance to jointly resist the invasion of Ba state. In 318 BC, Ba destroyed Chong state, occupied its territory, and moved its capital to Langzhong. In the 9th year of gengyuan (316 BC), the state of Qin destroyed the state of Ba and established Langzhong County in the 11th year. In the Qin Dynasty, prefectures and counties were still established.

At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty (206-23 BC), Langzhong county was set up in Anhan (now Nanchong) and Chongguo county. In Xinmang, Anhan County became Anxin county.

In the first year of Xingping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (194), mu liuzhang in Yizhou took Dianjiang as the Ba County. In Nanchong, it established Bajun, which governed Anhan (prefecture), Langzhong, Xichong (changed its name) and Nanchong county (located in Xichong). In the sixth year of Jian'an (201), Ba County was changed into Brazil County, and the county was transferred to Langzhong without any change.

In the Three Kingdoms of Shu Han, Western Jin and Cheng Han, the counties remained the same. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Langzhong was a county in northern Brazil, which governed Xichong (prefecture), Nanchong, Anhan, and Yangyang county (now Yilong).

During the Song Dynasty (420-479 A.D.) of the Southern Dynasty (420-479 A.D.), Bashi county was gathered by Liao people, and the counties were moved to Mianyang City by overseas Chinese. They governed Langzhong (prefecture), Anhan, Xiguo (Xichong state reform), Nanguo (Nanchong state reform) and Yangyang county. In the Southern Dynasties, the establishment of prefectures and counties remained unchanged.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was located in the South West Road of the mountains, with 3 states in the territory, and 19 counties, including Langzhou (Langzhong county), Langzhong (langnei county), and Sigong (now Langzhong territory), etc.

During the Five Dynasties (907-960), the establishment of prefectures and counties remained unchanged. Later Tang Dynasty (923-937) set up Baoning army in Langzhou and Yongning army in Guozhou.
