Yǒngxìng

Yǒngxīng lies near the Fù River in the country south of the Yangtze. The district bore several names through successive dynasties, including Xiàzhì, Yángxīn, and Yǒngxīng. From the Sòng through the Qīng, its administrative centre was known as Xīngguó, a seat governing the river valleys and settlements of eastern Húběi.
