What is the history of Nanxian County?

Nanxian County is connected with Shishou, Gongan and Songzi in Hubei Province in the north, Anxiang and Hanshou counties in Changde City in the west, Huarong County in Yueyang City and Yuanjiang City in Yiyang City across the river in the east, and Datong Lake, Beizhouzi, Jinpen, Nanwan Lake and Qianshanhong in the southeast. It is one of the 36 border counties in Hunan Province. Nanxian is a young county with a late organizational system, which was established in Guangxu 2 1 year of Qing Dynasty (1895, so far 108). Nanxian is an ancient and young land. According to research, in the late Neolithic period, China ancestors flourished here. Later, due to crustal tectonic movement, it fell to Zeguo. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the county was still in the vast caves, and only Jishan Mountain, Mingshan Mountain, Songtian Mountain and Taiyangshan Mountain floated on the water. In June of the second year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (1852), the Danei River embankment in Shishou County, Hubei Province burst. Due to frequent disrepair, the Yangtze River flooded for ten years in Xianfeng, and a large amount of sediment poured southward from the original breach, leading to the Dongting. At the end of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (around 1874), several lakes were deposited in the north of Dongting Lake, among which a long and narrow lake continent was newly deposited on the south bank of Wuzui and Zhoubei, which was called "Zhou Nan" by local people because it was located in the south of Zhou Bei. Later, the boat silted up, forming a hundred miles of fertile land, commonly known as "Zhou Nan". With the formation of Zhou Nan, residents from all over the country flocked to gather moose to reclaim dams and live in harmony for generations. It governs Huarong, Yueyang, Hanshou, Yuanjiang, Anxiang and Changde. In the 21st year of Guangxu (1895), Wu Dayou, the governor of Hunan, got permission from the Qing court to cut off the boundaries of six counties, set up the Fumin Pavilion in Zhili Hall of Zhou Nan in Wuzui, and moved the capital to Jiudu in the 23rd year of Guangxu (1897). In the second year of the Republic of China (19 13), the Hunan Provincial Governor's Office ordered the cancellation of Zhou Nan Guild Hall and renamed it Zhou Nan County. On June 8, the following year, according to the decree of the Ministry of Interior, Zhou Nan County was renamed Nanxian County. Although Nanxian is young, it has a long history. Through investigation, the county found 40 cultural sites (including 20 Neolithic sites), 3 ancient tombs/kloc-0, 2 ancient buildings, 7 ancient stone carvings and 5 important historical sites in modern times, of which 6 1 was listed in Hunan Branch of China Cultural Relics Atlas, and 1 was a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit. During the period of 1999, a number of early Neolithic tombs were excavated from the Tujiatai site in Dalangcheng Village, Zhou Nan Town, which is really rare, so the history of human activities in this county can be traced back to more than 8,000 years ago.
