Lintong is named because there is a river in the east and a river in the west.
Lintong District has a deep historical origin, and it has been a place of capital city through Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties. Because there is a river in the east and a river in the west, it is named Lintong.
Lintong County Chronicle says: "Xiangfu changed its name, so it was named Lintong after the water ring counties around Lintong and Tonger". Lintong District renamed Zhaoying County in the Tang Dynasty Lintong in order to avoid the name of Zhaoying Palace in the eighth year of Song Zhenzong Dazhong Xiangfu (115). Lintong is named because it is surrounded by the East, West and Tong River.

Landform of Lintong
Landform of Lintong District, divided by form, has mountains, rivers, terraces and tablelands, and belongs to structural landform. As far as geomorphic basement structure is concerned, it is a part of the Weihe fault depression, and it is also controlled by the east-west Qinling structural belt and the Neocathaysian (NNE) structural system in the region.
therefore, the geomorphic tectonic movement not only has the characteristics of south-north stepped faults, but also has the characteristics of uplift and subsidence depression of east-west fault blocks. Therefore, in addition to the middle Weihe fault depression basin, a series of secondary fault blocks and depressions have been produced in the basin, forming uplift and depression with different sizes and different heights, thus laying the foundation for modern geomorphic outline.
Loess hills and plateaus developed in the uplift area, and valley plains and piedmont diluvial fan skirts developed in the depression area. Because the Weihe River winds through the middle of the area from west to east, and Lishan Hengling stands in the south, there are all kinds of mountains, rivers and plateaus in the area.
