History
editYangxin has seven neolithic sites and eight Shang-Zhou dynasties sites. In 201 BC, the county was built as Xiazhi (
From the Northern and Southern dynasties period, Hubei province became a noteworthy tea-producing area. It became Xingguo Army (兴国军) during the Song dynasty. During this period, Confucian schools were introduced into Xingguo. In the Yuan dynasty, it was called Xingguo Road and had the biggest silver production among all roads in Hubei. During the Qing dynasty the Yangxin area became Xingguo Prefecture.
In the late Qing dynasty, Yangxin County served as the headquarters for the west march of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The prefecture was turned into a county in 1912 and changed its name to Yangxin County in 1914. In 1926, a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) committee was established, and Yangxin became a center of CCP activities in Southeast Hubei. In the Second Sino-Japanese War, the people of Yangxin formed four counter-Japanese base areas and fought the Battle of Wuhan in order to protect Wuhan. Yangxin was occupied by the 43rd Army, 15th Legion, Fourth Field Army of the People's Liberation Army on May 16, 1949.[2]
