In ancient times, it was called Yong State, which belonged to Wei in the Spring and Autumn Period, Wei in the Warring States Period and Jia in the Han Dynasty.
It has been more than 1,4 years since Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty established Xinxiang County in the sixth year (AD 586).
at the beginning of the founding of new China, it was once the capital of Pingyuan province. Ancient history has given birth to splendid civilization. Yangshao culture, Longshan cultural sites, vaguely debatable; Zhou Wuwang led the Mu Ye War of the eight hundred governors' alliance, and the historical sites were dependent; Fishing in Weihe River in Jiang Shang, loyal remonstrance with Bigan, saving Zhao by encircling Wei, stabbing Qin by Zhang Liang, the battle of Guandu and the mutiny in Chen Qiao all originated from this hot land. Confucius' lecture "Apricot Altar" is still there, and Li Bai sang songs before loyal ministers; Zhang Cang dreamed of "Nine Chapters Arithmetic", and Chen Yucheng was martyred in the Kingdom of Heaven; The tomb of King Lu Jian, Ming Shenzong's younger brother, has a long history. In 1993, Ceng Bangzhe expounded the theory of structure (the theoretical basis of systematic biology and synthetic biology in the 21st century) at the 6th National Conference on Philosophy of Science (Xinxiang). The splendid culture and beautiful environment left rich tourism resources for Xinxiang.
During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Feng Yuxiang, a famous patriotic general, was stationed in Xinxiang, and his army stronghold was Huixian, while his office was in Xinxiang (now the south gate of Xinxiang Old Park), which was changed into a library after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is said that there used to be two ancient cannons in front of the door, but now they have been lost. The airport in Xinxiang was originally a cemetery set up by General Feng Yuxiang for martyrs, but it was built by the Japanese after the defeat. In addition, the Japanese have built power plants (now near Xinxiang Children's Park) and so on. It has a strong historical significance, but now this history is little known.
