The origin of place names

Xunyang is named after the ten-day water. During the Qin Dynasty, Xunguan and Xunyang County were set up at the place where Xunshui entered the Hanshui River. Xunyang was changed to Xunyang in the Western Wei Dynasty. Because the word "Xunyang" is uncommon and difficult to recognize, 1964 was changed to Xunyang County with the approval of the State Council.

Xunyang has a history of 6,000 to 7,000 years, and ancestors lived here in the Neolithic Age. The Qin dynasty set up a ten-day pass, and Xunyang county was the pass. Xunyang has experienced the development history of agricultural civilization for more than two thousand years.
