History
Meixian was a rural peasant county with the exception of a city called Songkou, and its original name was Chengxiang county (Script error: No such module "Lang".) founded at the southern Han Dynasty where it was first created. It was part of Hakka Jiayingzhou during the Ming empire. It only obtained its current rename during the Kuomintang Republic of China.
Geography
Meixian almost completely surrounds Meizhou's central urban Meijiang District. This is due to the old urban core of Meixian becoming separated from the bulk of the county in the territorial reorganization following the 1949 establishment of the People's Republic of China, when it was given equal status.
Ethno-linguistic make-up
