Xixian county has a long history and outstanding people. It has been more than 3,000 years since Zhou Wuwang was granted land in 1 122 BC and Yuda established an interest country. Mrs. Xi loves her country and loves her people for "three years without saying anything" and is deeply admired by the people; Although Lai was destroyed by Chu in 538 BC, his subjects did not surrender, "Lai, Luo and Fu Tongzong"; A new breath is waiting for Ma Yuan, who has rebelled against the people on the border, and "Margo wrapped himself up" has inspired future generations so far; "Qin Lou Site", the cultural heritage of the Neolithic Age still exists; "Applying for the teacher of interest", the people's hard-working and unyielding fighting spirit still exists.

Xixian scenic spots and historical sites, such as bright stars. Pugong Mountain, once praised by Su Dongpo as "the first peak in the southeast", faces the county across the Huaihe River. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the Chutian in the south and overlook the Central Plains in the north. Liu Deng led the army south and the general tried the water. This was a beautiful talk, which left a deep footprint in the revolutionary history of China. Eight landscapes, such as Pushan Gongcui, ancient smoke, rejuvenating the country in seclusion, vertical axe spring ploughing, narrow river crossing at night, night rain on Gebei, Guangfeng Immersed Garden and Huairu Communication, describe Xixian County as a magnificent picture.

According to historical records, China lasted for thousands of years from the Xia Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and there were two national political systems: one was the feudal system of "sealing the country" and the other was the centralization of authority based on the county system. The transition from feudal system to centralized system in Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties experienced the transition in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, that is, the county system originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and was not completed until the end of the Warring States Period. Historians have always had different views on the "first county" in China. In 1930s, Gu Jiegang, a modern historian, proposed that the "first county" in China was a powerful county established after Chu Wuwang attacked and destroyed the powerful country. He Hao, a researcher at Hubei Academy of Social Sciences, believes that "that place" is the first county in China. Professor Song Gongwen said in his paper submitted to the conference that Zuo Zhuan recorded "Peng Zhongshuang, Shen Fu Ye, Wang Wen thought that Ling Yin, Shi Xianshen and Xi Ye." According to the available data, this is the earliest record of "county system". The "county system" was first implemented in China, in the early Spring and Autumn Period, in the Shenhe area of Chu State.

Professor Song pointed out that the difference between Shenxian County and xixi County is that Shenxian County changed its name after the mid-Warring States period, while Xixi County has not changed its name as "Xi" for nearly 3,000 years, and the region has never left its former site. As one of the two counties in China, Xixian County is the only county that has not changed its name and jurisdiction since its establishment, so Xixian County should be the first county in China. Xixian county has a long history and belonged to Yuzhou in Xia and Shang Dynasties. In Zhou Wuwang, Wen Wang's 37-year-old son was named Xihou, and Xihou Kingdom was established. In 682 BC, the State of Chu established a county. In the history of more than 2,000 years since then, there have been new Xixian, Xihou, Dongyu and Xizhou, which were divided and ruled several times until the county was established in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.

Since ancient times, New Year greetings have been called "New Year greetings" through mutual greetings, visiting relatives and friends, and respecting teachers. From the first day to the sixteenth day, New Year greetings are welcome. The first day to the fifth day is the peak of New Year greetings. After the 16th day of the first month, New Year greetings are called "Old Year". After the first month, it is no longer called New Year's greetings. The order of paying New Year greetings to the main relatives is: "the first uncle, the second uncle, and the third day to worship the father-in-law", that is, the first and second days to pay New Year greetings to the elders and grandmothers at home. After the fourth day, underage relatives and friends began to worship each other. When visiting the New Year, most people will bring several packages of cakes, brown sugar and other gifts. The new son-in-law will bring rich gifts to his parents-in-law in the first New Year (returned intact). When he comes home, the host will prepare a sumptuous banquet. When he left, the owner only received some gifts, and the rest was used as the "bottom of the basket", and the owner would give the new son-in-law and children lucky money. It is impolite for peers or friends to go to their elders' homes to pay a new year call first, and the new year caller will pay a return visit. The New Year greeting ceremony for the younger generation is "kowtowing" and the worship ceremony for the peers is "bowing". Modern New Year greetings are changed to shake hands and say hello.
