The administrative system of Xiang 'an District began in the third year of Jin Taikang, and belongs to Li Xiangfeng and Min 'anli of Tongan County.

According to historical records, Xiang 'an District has been an important economically developed area in southern Fujian since ancient times, and Maxiang Town ranks among the four ancient towns in southern Fujian. Zhu Zaixiang 'an, a famous Neo-Confucianism scholar, has many beautiful legends and Mo Bao.
