Three Hunan and Four Waters refer to which three Hunan and which four waters

The three Xiangs are Xiangtan, Xiangxiang, and Xiangyin, and the four rivers refer to the four famous rivers in Hunan: Xiangjiang, Zijiang, Yuanjiang, and Lishui.

The name "Sanxiang" is actually due to Dongting Lake's unique geographical and cultural status in Hunan. Since Dongting Lake is located in the east of northern Hunan, the terrain is dominated by lakes, plains, and hills, which is obviously different from the high mountains in the west and south. The terrain determines that the transportation, history, and culture of the area around Dongting Lake are relatively developed.

In this way, the plains and hilly areas radiating from Dongting Lake have been relatively developed since ancient times. As the political, economic and cultural center of Hunan, they are called "Xiangzhong"; while the Xuefeng Mountains in the west are called "Xiangxi" , the area in the south near the Nanling Mountains is called "Shonan".
