In the past, there were five springs in Yangquan city, which flooded all the year round and nourished one side, so it was called Yangquan, and was later interpreted as Yangquan. Yangquan City has a long history, located in the "Three Jin Dynasties", with dangerous terrain, and has always been a battleground for military strategists. As early as the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, in order to meet the needs of military competition, Zhao Jianzi built a "city of peace" in this city, collected grain and grass, and sent troops to guard it, becoming an important military fortress. In 623 AD, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan once set up a state here, governing Shouyang, Yuxian, Shiai, Leping and other counties. It was promoted to a national organizational system, which was the first time in the history of ancient Yangquan. In 960 AD, Zhao Kuangyin launched the "Chen Qiao mutiny", where he formed the Pingding Army and sent troops to Taiyuan. 1905, Zheng Tai Railway set up a station in Yangquan. With the development of transportation, a number of mining and metallurgical enterprises have been established one after another, making Yangquan Station one of the birthplaces of modern industry in Shanxi. Subsequently, with Yangquan Station as the center, merchants gathered and gradually became a commodity distribution center in eastern Shanxi and connecting Shanxi and Hebei provinces. 1On May 2, 947, Yangquan was liberated and Yangquan City was formally established.
Yangquan has a long history. According to the textual research of cultural relics unearthed in Zizyphus jujuba and Daliangding, which settled the northwest in 1950s, human beings lived and multiplied here in the middle of Paleolithic. During the Tang, Yu, Xia and Shang Dynasties, Yangquan was handed down as the land of ancient Jizhou. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was hatred in Yuxian today. After twelve years of Zhou Calm (In 457 Bc), Jin Qing and Zhi Bo ended their hatred; In the sixteenth year (the first 453 years), Han, Zhao and Wei were divided into Jin and the city belonged to Zhao. Qin belongs to Taiyuan County. At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, Ai County set up a city, and the county ruled Xincheng Village in Pingding County, belonging to Taiyuan County. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shang 'ai County belonged to Changshan State in Jizhou. During the Three Kingdoms period, the north and south belonged to Leping County and Xinxing County in Weibing Prefecture. The Western Jin Dynasty followed the old system of Cao Wei. During the Sixteen Kingdoms Period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it belonged to Zhao Qian, Houzhao, Wei Ran, Yan Qian, Qianqin, Houyan, Northern Wei and other countries. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the north and south belonged to Shiai County, Leping County, Bingzhou County, Dingxiang County, Xinxing County and Sizhou County. After that, the whole territory belonged to the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty established Wei Ze County in today's Niangziguan, which belonged to Jingzhou, and was later abandoned. In today's Yuxian County, the original location of Qiu County (later renamed Yuxian County) belongs to Liao State with Shi 'ai County. In the early Tang dynasty, the city belonged to the state, and then to the state. Shi 'ai and Yuxian successively belong to Bingzhou and Taiyuan. In the first year of Tianbao (742), Shi Ai was renamed Yang Guang and moved to Yang Guang Village. The five dynasties calendar belongs to the late Tang Dynasty, the late Jin Dynasty, the late Han Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty. In the fourth year of the Northern Song Dynasty (979), Yangguang County was changed to Pingding County, and the county government moved back to Pingding Shangcheng and was placed under the Pingding Army. Yuxian is a state; Later Pingding County and Yuxian County belonged to Hedong Road. Jinsheng Pingding Prefecture and Yuzhou belong to Hedong Road and Hedong North Road. Yuan belongs to Jining Road. In the Ming Dynasty, Yuzhou was reduced to a county, which belonged to Taiyuan, Shanxi, together with Pingding. In the second year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (1724), it was pacified into Zhili Prefecture, Jiayu County and Shouyang County, which belonged to Shanxi Province. At the beginning of the Republic of China, it was Pingding County and Yuxian County, belonging to Jining Road in Shanxi Province and directly under the jurisdiction of Shanxi Province. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Pingding was divided into Pingding (North) County, Pingding (East) County and Heping (West) County, and Yuxian County was divided into Pingshan County, Yangqu County and Shouyang County. Pingding East and Pingding West counties to the south of Zheng Tai Railway belong to Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Border Region, and the counties to the north belong to Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region. During the War of Liberation, Pingding and Yuxian gradually restored the original organizational system; 1On May 4th, 947, a part of Pingding County was established as Yangquan City and later renamed as Yangquan Industrial and Mining Area. Yangquan City (industrial and mining area) has been under the jurisdiction of North China Joint Management Committee, North China People's Government and Shanxi Province. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yangquan City (formerly an industrial and mining area, restored in 1952) was managed by Jinzhong (Yuci) area (institution) several times, while Pingding County and Yuxian County belonged to Jinzhong (Yuci) area (institution). It has successively set up urban areas, suburbs and mining areas. 1September 1983, the system of city governing counties was implemented, and Pingding County and Yuxian County were placed under Yangquan City. Yangquan City has become the city of two counties (Pingding County and Yuxian County) and three districts (city, mine and suburb) directly under the jurisdiction of Shanxi Province.
In the late Qing Dynasty, today's urban area is still a wasteland. Since the opening of Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway 1903, coal, iron, sulfur and other industries have sprung up.
