Introduction to Xianyang:

Xianyang gave birth to China's farming civilization, and Hou Ji, the ancestor of agriculture, taught people to cultivate crops here. Xianyang is a national first-class open city, a national historical and cultural city, a national double-support model city, a national health city, a charming city in China, a geothermal city in China, one of the top ten livable cities in China, the first batch of excellent tourist cities in China, an advanced city in the creation of national spiritual civilization, and a famous health care cultural city in China.

There are several versions of the origin of the place name Xianyang. One is that Xianyang has mountains in the north and water in the south, which is "all mountains and rivers are sunny", so it is called Xianyang; One argument is that Xianyang was formed by the merger of Xianheng and Liyang, so it is called Xianyang; There is also a saying that the original meaning of "salty" is used. Because wars often occur in this place, all the people are soldiers and armed against the enemy, so this place is called Xianyang.
