Xing Yong (? - 223 AD), named Zi'ang, was a native of Hejian Min (mào, Mao) (now Renqiu City, Cangzhou, Hebei Province). When he was young, he was recommended as Xiaolian and Situ Zheng as an official, but he rejected them all. After changing his name and surname, he came to Youbeiping and studied with Tian Chou.

Five years later, Cao Cao pacified Jizhou. Xing Yong said to Tian Chou: "The Yellow Turban Army has been in rebellion for more than 20 years, and the country has been in chaos and the people have been displaced. Now I heard that Duke Cao's laws are strict. The people are tired of war, and the day of peace will soon come. Please go first." He went to Duke Cao." Tian Chou said, "Xing Yong is really the enlightened man of the people." Xing Yong went to meet Cao Cao and offered to work with Tian Chou as a guide to conquer Liucheng.

When Cao Cao recruited Xing Yong to serve as an official in Jizhou, people at that time commented: "Zi Ang is punished for his virtuous conduct." Later, he became the county magistrate of Guangzong, but he abandoned his official position to mourn the death of his old general. , there is a report to punish Xing Yong. Cao Cao said: "He has great feelings for his old friend and his moral integrity is very noble. He cannot be punished." He was not held accountable. Afterwards, he was appointed as Sikong Pu and then as the magistrate of Xingtang County. He encouraged the people to farm and plant mulberry trees, and his reputation was greatly improved. OK. After returning to the capital, he served as a supervisor under the Prime Minister's family. He was promoted to Zuo Fengyi and resigned due to illness.

At this time, Cao Cao's sons were choosing officials and issued an order: "The officials of the princes' families should be as knowledgeable and abide by the law as Xing Yong." So Pingyuan, who was most favored by Cao Cao at that time, Hou Caozhi first selected Xing Yong as his family minister. But Xing Yong didn't like Cao Zhi, so his relationship with Cao Zhi was not harmonious at all. Cao Zhi's retainer and concubine Liu Zhen wrote a letter to advise Cao Zhi to give up Xing Yong, who had too strong personality.

At that time, the position of the prince was not yet clear. Cao Zhi was favored by Cao Cao, and Ding Yi and others praised Cao Zhi from time to time. Cao Cao asked Xing Yong about this matter, and Xing Yong replied: "Replacing a legitimate son with a concubine is definitely a taboo of the previous generation. I hope the king will consider this matter carefully!" Cao Cao knew Xing Yong's idea, and later asked Xing Yong to do it. He became the Prince's Young Master, and was promoted to Taifu. After Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei, came to the throne, Xing Yong was appointed as the Minister of Public Affairs, Pushe, and was given the title of Marquis of Guannei. In the fourth year of Huangchu (223), Xing Yong died, and his son Xing You inherited his title.
