Xichang history

Xichang has been an important town in the southwest of the motherland since ancient times. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, all previous regimes have set up counties, prefectures and states here, and appointed officials. For example, in the sixth year of Emperor Ding Yuan of the Han Dynasty (A.D.11), Sima Xiangru was sent as an envoy to build Du Qiong (now Xichang) and Yuexi County, which was under the jurisdiction of 15 County, belonging to Yizhou. Although the jurisdiction has been changing since then, the jurisdiction of Zhou, Zhou and Sifu is still in Xichang.

The "Tianma Stone Monument" unearthed in Xichang mainly includes the ruins of Tucheng in the Western Han Dynasty, the unknown Han Que, the White Pagoda in the Tang Dynasty, the King Temple of Nanzhao Jingzhuang, the Luoluo Xuanwei Temple, the Mosque and the Datong Gate.
