Maying Town has a long history.

Maying was named "Dahua River" before the Ming Dynasty, and it was named after Huachuan River (now called Niugu River) in the territory. There are related records in Tongwei local chronicles: During Yuan Dade's reign, Su had three temples in Gansu, and Maying was then Dongyuan Horse Temple. In the Ming dynasty, it was changed to the stable courtyard, and later it was promoted to the stable courtyard, which belongs to Jingning House. In the 14th year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (1675), it was changed to Ma Ying, hence the name Ma Ying.

Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, Maying has been one of the bases for raising military horses and exchanging tea and horses.

According to the width of the area, the pastoral areas in Ming Dynasty were divided into three classes: upper, middle and lower, with 10,000 horses in the upper garden, 7,000 horses in the middle garden and 4,000 horses in the lower garden. In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, Yang Yiqing, the cabinet minister, took the left and right deputies as imperial envoys to supervise the horses. After visiting Anding Garden (now Maying), he commented that "the grassland is wide, the water spring is convenient, the land is suitable for grazing, and it is worth going to the garden".

According to textual research, Anding Prison City was founded in the fourth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1406) and has undergone many repairs. Anding prison city consists of prison city and three cities, east and west, with loess rammed walls and the gates arched with blue bars. Prison city, commonly known as "big city", is 370 meters long from east to west and 307 meters wide from north to south. The wall foundation is 8-10m thick and10-15m high. It is equipped with east and west doors, and each door has an urn. Dongxiguo, commonly known as "Dongguan" and "Xiguan", is 275m long from east to west and104m wide from north to south.

In the sixth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty, the inscription of "Lexus Fu Su Toad Mother Mountain" in Niuying, Dingxi County recorded that "the mountain is high in water and cold ... so there are many products ... but there are many commodities. An episode every two days, the three cities rotate, the four sides gather, and the livestock are brown. There are many people, many households, good customs, and sincere people. "

In order to "make guests feel like the earth, there will always be a pleasant meeting", merchants in Shaanxi built the "Shanshan Guild Hall" in the west of Maying Prison in the late Ming or early Qing Dynasty. According to the "Continued Maying Jianshan and Shaanxi Guild Hall Monument", the Guild Hall is "magnificent", "starting from the front hall, with two wings, left bells and right drums, and building a second floor", and there is also a theater. 1949, the defeated national army set fire to the Shanshan Guild Hall in order to prevent the People's Liberation Army from advancing westward, which contained articles such as rations. This century-old building was destroyed by fire.

At that time, there were nearly 150 firms in Ma Jianshe, including Changshunxi, Longshunyi, Defenghe and Junshunmao. In the early Qing Dynasty, four giant towns in Gansu (Xifeng in Qingyang, Bikou in Wenxian, Maying in Tongwei and Bafang in Linxia) were listed, and there was even a saying among the people that "only the prison of Maying was known, but Tongwei County was not known". Outsiders in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan and other places form a graveyard with dead locals. Ma Ying called it a "mass grave". In those days, Zhong Yi's grave was covered with chess, and there were many tombstones and columns. The tombstones are engraved with the native place and surname of the deceased, as well as the names of the descendants who erected the tombstones, such as "Li Fujun's tomb in Qixian County, Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi Province, was isolated for six years in Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty, making the bow stand" and "Prince Wang Fu of Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi Province was afraid of the second-line tomb and stood by himself". This also reflects the commercial prosperity of Jianshe from one side, with many businessmen.
