The Qin Xiaogong established Zhiyang, the Han Dynasty had Baling and Nanling, the Northern Wei Dynasty established Du County, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty changed the county to a county.

The origin of Xiaoyi Hall:

Xianning County of Xi'an Prefecture (now Chang'an County) + Lantian County of Xi'an Prefecture + Shangzhou Zhen'an County/the adjacent border areas of the three counties were merged and established Xiaoyi Hall:

In the forty-seventh year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1783), there were tigers in the Qinling Mountains, which repeatedly injured people and animals. The provincial governor sent Yijun soldiers to kill them for more than a month, but found nothing. Due to the dense mountains and dense forests, it was easy to hide treacherous people, so the imperial court decided to demarcate the adjacent border areas of Xianning County (now Chang'an County), Lantian County and Shangzhou Zhen'an County under the jurisdiction of Xi'an Prefecture.

The adjacent areas on the borders of the three counties are divided as follows:

Xianning County (now Chang'an County), Xi'an Prefecture: the area south of the Qinling Mountains in Xianning County (now Chang'an County) is divided.

Lantian County, Xi'an Prefecture: The mountainous area south of the Qinling Mountains in Lantian County (part of today's Gepai Town) is demarcated.

Zhen'an County, Shangzhou: Demarcate the northeastern area of ??Zhen'an County.

The areas divided by the borders of the above three counties were merged and organized into Xiaoyi Hall. The name of the hall was taken from the meaning of "filial piety is the foundation" of Prime Minister Zhang Zhong of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty. The Xiaoyi Hall was established in Xiaoyi River (the site of Xiaoyi Hall is in today's Zhashui County), and the magistrates were stationed in Xiaoyi River to support the people. (It can be said that Xiaoyi Hall is the predecessor of Zhashui County), but Xiaoyi Hall is not under the jurisdiction of Shangzhou (Shangluo). Xiaoyi Hall is under the jurisdiction of Xi'an Prefecture and belongs to the territory of Xi'an Prefecture. Shortly afterwards, the southern border area of ????Lantian was returned to Lantian, and there was no change thereafter.
