Extended data:

Xingyang is a world famous city in history. In 360 BC, during the Warring States Period, Wei dug a gap in Xingyang, from which the Yellow River flowed to the southeast and merged with Huaishui, Surabaya, Jishui and Rushui, thus connecting Xingyang with famous cities such as Chen (now Huaiyang), Dingtao, Shandong and Jianghuai area into a commercial network.

The gap can be used for both water transportation and farmland irrigation, which has played a great role in promoting Zhengzhou's economic development in the long-term historical development from the Warring States Period to the Qin, Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties. Xingyang, where the gorge meets the Yellow River, rose rapidly after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period because of its convenient land and water transportation. From the Western Han Dynasty to the Western Jin Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xingyang has always been a county, which governs most areas of Zhengzhou and Kaifeng today.

Xingyang at this time is not only the center of Zhengzhou, but also one of the political, economic and cultural centers in the Central Plains. This is the prosperous period of Xingyang. Sang Hongyang, who was in charge of finance in the Western Han Dynasty, listed Xingyang as one of the "world famous cities", alongside Luoyang, Yuji and Handan.
