==History==
Jiyuan was a county belonging to [[Jiaozuo]] City in the past, then it was divided from the city. The former [[Ji River]]—one of the ancient "Four Rivers", alongside the [[Yangtze River|Yangtze]], [[Huai River|Huai]], and [[Yellow River]]s—originated around Jiyuan, which was the source of its name, Chinese for "Source of the [[Ji River|Ji]]". (Today, the Ji has been entirely subsumed by the Yellow River, which shifted to the bed of the Ji during its massive 1852 flood.)<ref name=plehh>{{harvp|Pletcher & al.|2011|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=tfVN0Gwx67YC&pg=PA171 171]}}.</ref> According to the latest archaeological findings, as early as around 10,000 years ago, precisely at the end of the Paleolithic Period and the beginning of the Neolithic Period, people have lived here. It used to be the capital of the Xia Dynasty and was well known for its wealth between the Period of Warring States and Han Dynasty.

In the [[Shang dynasty]] it was a Fang state - Ya (亞方).

==Agriculture==
There are many crops grown in Jiyuan, such as [[wheat]], [[peanut]], [[cotton]], [[sweet potato]], [[maize]] and other crops.
