This small county is located in neixiang county, Nanyang City, southwest of Henan Province. Why are there contradictions in county names? Because it is a county-level administrative unit, but the name is Neixiang, and the township belongs to the township-level administrative unit, it leads to the contradiction of the county name. When people ask you where you are going, if you say you are going to your hometown, outsiders will definitely think that you are going to a certain township, but they will not think that the township that sounds like a township unit is actually a county town.
Neixiang county has a long history. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, neixiang county had an administrative system called "Analysis of the City". Later, Qin unified the whole country and promoted the county system throughout the country. "Analysis of the city" was changed to Zhongxiang County, which was used until the Sui Dynasty. In order to avoid Yang Zhong, the father of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, Zhongxiang County was changed to neixiang county, which has been used ever since.
Neixiang county has experienced frequent historical changes, and its ruling area was once very large. At present, neixiang county has a total area of 2,465 square kilometers and a population of more than 700,000, with a relatively low population density. Located in the northwest of Nanyang city, it belongs to the east of Qinling Mountains, with many mountainous areas and obvious geographical advantages. There has always been a saying that "guarding the gate of the eight hundred-mile lucky cow and choking the traffic of Qin and Chu" is a battleground for ancient military strategists.
The topography of Neixiang is mainly mountainous, the climate is relatively warm and humid, and the domestic tourism resources are rich. As a county, there are four AAAA scenic spots, which is worthy of the name.

It is the only well-preserved county-level official residence in China, and is known as "a unique historical specimen of China", enjoying "the dragon head is in Beijing, the dragon tail is in the inner city" and "an inner city official residence, half official culture". Neixiang county Ya, together with the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Governor's Office in Baoding Zhili, Hebei Province, and the ancient Ya in Huozhou, Shanxi Province, became the four ancient official Ya in China, which is a typical representative of the ancient official Ya culture in China.
