History
During the Spring and Autumn period, the area of present-day Yunxi County belonged to the Jun State.[1]
During the Warring States period, the area belonged to the Chu State.[1]
The area belonged to the Hanzhong Commandery during the Qin Dynasty, which was later absorbed by the Han Dynasty.[1]
During the Three Kingdoms period, the area was known as Pingyang County (simplified Chinese: 平阳县; traditional Chinese: 平陽縣; pinyin: Píngyáng Xiàn), and belonged to the Weixing Commandery of the Cao Wei.[1]
Subsequently, Pingyang County was taken by the Jin Dynasty, and was renamed.[1] The area was subsequently placed under the Shangjin Commandery.[1]
The subsequent Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties all reorganized the region.[1] It was in 1476 that an administrative division known as Yunxi County came into being.[1]
Republic of China
During the early years of the Republic of China, Yunxi County belonged to Xiangyang Circuit.[1] In 1932, the Republic of China introduced Administrative Inspectorates, and Yunxi County fell under the 11th Administrative Inspectorate of Hubei Province.[1] In 1936, it was moved to the 8th Administrative Inspectorate of Hubei Province.[1]
People's Republic of China
On November 16, 1947, Yunxi County was taken by the People's Liberation Army, the first county in present-day Hubei that the army took.[1]
In May 1949, the area was organized as part of the Liangyun Prefecture, which was then part of Shaanxi province.[1] The following year, it was renamed to Yunyang Prefecture (simplified Chinese: 郧阳专区; traditional Chinese: 鄖陽專區), and moved to Hubei province.[1] From 1952 to 1965, Yunyang Prefecture was abolished and merged into Xiangyang Prefecture, but was restored after this.[1] In 1994, the reorganized Yunyang Prefecture fell under the jurisdiction of the prefecture-level city of Shiyan, which administers Yunxi County to this day.[1]
