In the spring and Autumn period, Guyuan area was now inhabited by Wu Shirong, and Yinnan area was centered on Yanchi, which was the sphere of influence of Qu Yanrong. In the Warring States period, King Huiwen of Qin Dynasty captured Wurong land and set up Wushi county (the North Bank of Nanjing water in Guyuan County) to govern Guyuan area. After that, Quyan county was established in Yanchi county to govern the present Yinnan area.
