During the Spring and Autumn Period, most of them belonged to Jin, and during the Warring States Period, they belonged to Zhao. Qin and Han Dynasties belong to Taiyuan County, Yanbei County and Taiping County. According to legend, Emperor Gaozu fought against the Huns in the north, and the soldiers were trapped in Pingcheng (now Datong). When the siege broke out, the army withdrew southward and got rid of the pursuers at Xinkou. The ancestors smiled happily, and the Sixth Army was happy to return home. Because "Xin" was connected with "Xin", the name of Xinzhou was born. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, there has been a state administration, known as the "lock and key of northern Shanxi", and it has been a battleground for military strategists in past dynasties. Now it is the seat of Xinzhou Municipal Government and the political, economic and cultural center of Xinzhou.
