Xinzhou, known as Jiuyuan and Xurong in ancient times, is located in the north-central part of Shanxi. It is said that the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, went north to fight against the Huns, and was trapped in Pingcheng (today's Datong). When they broke out of the siege, the army withdrew to the south. Xinkou Fang got rid of his pursuers. Emperor Gaozu smiled despite his sorrow, and the six armies returned home happily. Because "Xin" connected with "Xin", the name of Xinzhou was born. Xinzhou has a long history.
