Xiangxiang: Ancient County of 1000 Years and a Cultural Town in the Hometown of Hunan Army

Xiangxiang, a county-level city in Hunan Province, is administered by Xiangtan City. It is located in the central part of Hunan Province, in the middle reaches of the Lianshui River, and has been the "Pearl of Xiangzhong" since ancient times. As a thousand-year-old county, it was founded in the Western Han Dynasty with a history of more than 2,200 years, and is one of the important birthplaces of Hunan culture. It is known as the hometown of Hunan Army, and is famous for the rise of Hunan Army in the late Qing Dynasty. Famous ministers such as Zeng Guofan and Liu Jintang all came from here, and the spirit of Hunan Army, which is to "set up a hard fortress and fight to the death", has had a profound impact on the area. The Dongshan Academy in Xiangxiang is the place where Mao Zedong studied as a young man, and is now a national key cultural heritage unit, witnessing the ups and downs of China's modern history. Today, Xiangxiang is a charming city that combines historical heritage and modern development, while preserving its ancient townscape and non-heritage folklore (e.g. Xiangxiang Tantou New Year's Paintings), and continuing to write a new chapter in the new era with the economic vitality of the "Top 100 Counties in China".
