Xiangyin has a long history.

According to research on cultural relics unearthed in recent years, ancestors pioneered here as early as the Neolithic Age.

By the Xia Dynasty, it was inhabited by the Sanmiao tribe.

In the Zhou Dynasty, King Cheng divided the feudal lords into feudal lords, and Xiangyin belonged to the Chu State.

King Wen moved the remnants of the Luozi Kingdom to the south of the Xiang River, and the county was the territory of the Luozi Kingdom.

The First Emperor of Qin abolished the feudal title and established prefectures and counties, and changed the name of Luo Ziguo to Luo County, under the jurisdiction of Changsha County.

Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Western Han Dynasty, moved Wu Rui, the king of Hengshan, to become the king of Changsha. Wu changed Changsha into his country. In the seventh year of Jianwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Changsha County was restored.

Whether it is a country or a county, the Luo Kingdom is its territory.

In the 13th year of Emperor Xian's reign of the Han Dynasty (208), Liu Bei settled the four counties of Wuling, Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling in Jingzhou, and Luo County belonged to Liu.

After Liu Bei and Sun Quan divided Jingzhou with the Xiang River as the boundary, Luo County returned to the Sun and was still under the jurisdiction of Changsha County.

The affiliation remained unchanged until the Jin Dynasty.

In the second year of the Song and Yuanhui years of the Southern Dynasty (474), Wang Sengqian, the governor of Xiangzhou, cut off part of the three counties of Luo County, Yiyang, and Xiangxi and established a new county named Xiangyin in order to resettle the refugees in Baxia.

Qinqiwang (the middle part of Catfish Island in Luweichang County today).

In the first year of Liang Tianjian in the Southern Dynasty (502), the county seat was moved to Huanghuacheng (today's Huanghualing, Haohekou Town).

In the ninth year of Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty (589), Xiangyin Province was transferred to Yueyang County, and the county seat was moved to the ancient city of Changle (today's Changle Town, Miluo).

In the 11th year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign (591), Yueyang County was renamed Xiangyin County, and the county seat was moved to Luocheng (now Ma Toucao, Quyuan Administrative District), the capital of Luozi Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period and Luo County in the Qin Dynasty.

In the eighth year of Tang Wude's reign (625), Luo County was merged into Xiangyin.

At this time, the county area was vast, and the land adhered to the traditional three counties (cities) of Xiangyin, Miluo, and Pingjiang.

In the third year of Shenlong (707) of Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty, because the area was too vast and difficult to manage, the eastern part of Xiangyin County was reorganized into Changjiang County (today's Pingjiang County), which also belonged to Yuezhou.

In the same year, Xiangyin County was moved to Jiangcheng (Changgong Village, Chuanshanping Town, Miluo City).

In the third year of Zhou Guangshun (953) after the Five Dynasties, the county seat was moved to Baimao City (today's Shiqiao Village, Chuanshanping Town, Miluo City).

In the fourth year of Chunhua (993), Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, Xiangyin was transferred to Tanzhou (today's Changsha City).

In the fourth year of Jianyan (1130), Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty, the county seat was moved to Wasuitan on the bank of the Xiangjiang River, which is now the county seat (Wenxing Town).

During the Yuanzhen period of Emperor Chengzong of the Yuan Dynasty, Xiangyin was promoted to a state and belonged to Tanzhou Road. During the reign of Emperor Wenzong of the Yuan Dynasty, it was changed to belong to Tianlin Road.

In the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1369), the state was reduced to a county and belonged to Changsha Prefecture.

In the Qing Dynasty, it still belonged to Changsha Prefecture.

In the early years of the Republic of China, Xiangyin was directly under the jurisdiction of Hunan Province. At the end of the 26th year of the Republic of China (1937), Hunan established the Office of the Administrative Inspectorate, and in the 29th year of the Republic of China (1940), the Administrative Inspectorate District was established. Xiangyin all belonged to the first district.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xiangyin belonged to the Changsha Administrative Office, in 1952 to the Xiangtan Administrative Office, and in 1964 to the Yueyang Administrative Office.

In 1966, due to the wide county area and large population, five districts in the eastern part of Xiangyin County were set aside to build Miluo County (later changed to a city). In February 1983, together with Liuyang and Ningxiang counties, Xiangyin was placed under the jurisdiction of Changsha City, see

"China.Changsha - Changsha Municipal Government Portal Website" But then Xiangyin County was placed under the Yueyang Prefecture.

——In 1986, Yueyang City, which belongs to the same prefecture as Miluo, was changed into a city.
