During the Han Dynasty, it belonged to the Shuofang History Department.

In the Western Han Dynasty, Beidi County was transferred to Huanxian County in Gansu Province; Guyuan was established as Anding County; Ningxia was divided into Beidi County and Anding County.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Anding County was moved to Zhenyuan County, Gansu Province, and the northern county was moved to the southwest of Litong District, Wuzhong City.

The Sixteen Kingdoms were the territories of the Great Xia Kingdom founded by Helian Bobo, the leader of the Iron Buddha Tribe of the Xiongnu.

In the Northern Wei and Northern Zhou Dynasties, immigration continued to promote settlements, and the area was effectively developed again. Ningxia was first called "Saibei Jiangnan".

In the Tang Dynasty, the entire territory of Ningxia belonged to the Guannai Road, and there were six states: Yuanzhou, Lingzhou, Xihuizhou, Anlezhou, Xiongzhou, and Jingzhou.

In the fourteenth year of Tianbao (755), the "Anshi Rebellion" broke out in the Tang Dynasty. Prince Li Heng ascended the throne in Lingwu, Ningxia, and became Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Ningxia belonged to Qinfeng Road. Later, northern Ningxia was occupied by Li Jiqian of the Dangxiang tribe. The Northern Song Dynasty only controlled southern Ningxia, and southern Ningxia belonged to Jingyuan Road.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Xixia Zhongxing and other roads were established in the hometown of Xixia Kingdom.

In the 24th year of the Yuan Dynasty (1287), Ningxiafu Road was established, and Ningxia got its name from this.

In the Ming Dynasty, a government was initially established in Ningxia, and later it was changed to a guard.

Ningxia Zuotunwei, Zhongtunwei, avant-garde, central defender and rear guard were added.

Later, Ningxia Town and Guyuan Town were restructured. Nine defense zones were set up along the Great Wall, called Nine Towns, which were two of the most important border towns in the Ming Dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, in the fifth year of Shunzhi (1648), the Qing Dynasty established a governor in Ningxia, which was under the Chief Secretary of Shaanxi and subordinated to the garrison. Ningxia was at the quasi-provincial level.

After retreating, it was changed to Ningxia Prefecture, with prefectures and counties under it, and belonged to Gansu. However, it was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Ningxia General Army, and then added the Manchu General's Mansion in Ningxia, still maintaining the provincial structure.

The most famous local specialties in Ningxia include wolfberry, licorice, Helan stone, and Tan sheep second-fur skin. Because their colors are red, yellow, blue, and white, they are also called the "Four Treasures."

Ningxia cuisine is mainly northwest pasta, with many halal characteristics.

Because agriculture is developed, vegetables and fruits are more abundant than in Gansu, and rivers such as the Yellow River are distributed throughout the region.

Beef and mutton are the main edible meats. There are large markets in every county where live sheep are slaughtered, so you can’t help but try various mutton dishes.

The Hui people traditionally do not smoke or drink alcohol, so more traditional halal restaurants do not serve alcoholic beverages.

However, most people in the northwest are drinkers, and the low-alcohol liquor and fruit wine produced in this area have a pure taste.
