Meixian, formerly Meihsien, is a district of Meizhou City, in northeastern Guangdong Province, China. Its original name was Chengxiand county during the southern Han Dynasty where it was first created, all the way to the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and then renamed Jiaying county during the Qing Dynasty. It only obtained the name Meixian in 1911 during the Xinhai Revolution where it was finally renamed to Meixian. Meixian almost surrounds Meizhou's central urban Meijian District. This is due to the old downtown core of Meixian becoming separated from the bulk of the county in the territorial reorganizations following the 1949 establishment of the People's Republic of China when it was given equal status. Basically, Meixian has administrative jurisdiction over one subdistrict and 18 towns. With a majority Hakka population, Meixian, along with Dabu County, is known as the home of standard Hakka.
