History
The city takes its name from Xingyi Prefecture, which the Qing dynasty created in 1797. In February of that year, Zhongjia (Bouyei) rebels besieged the seat of the neighbouring Nanlong Prefecture in what became known as the Nanlong Uprising; after the revolt was put down, the Qing renamed Nanlong Prefecture as Xingyi. Xingyi County, on the site of the present-day city, was established the following year, in 1798.
