Yichang is an ancient city and its history can be traced back for 4,000 years. During what is known as its Spring and Autumn Periods, Yichang was regarded as a city of great strategic importance. Many famous battles took place here, such as the Changbanpo Battle and the Yiling Battle during the Three Kingdoms Period. Relics of these battles can still be found in the area. Another interesting aspect of Yichang is that several eminent persons were born here in ancient times, such as the concubine Wang Zhaojun during the Western Han Dynasty and the patriotic poet 0.9 Yuan in the Warring States Period.
