Guanghan County , Shu County and Qianwei County ,Also known as the Three Shus in Shu.


is currently seeing these three versions.

In these three versions, there is no objection to the time of setting up Guanghan County (the first 201 years) and the name of the county system (Chengxiang). The difference is, where is the "Chengxiang" in the Western Han Dynasty located today?

In the past, when editing related articles, although I had doubts, I did not find the relevant clear information, so I generally ignored the remarks of today's address and did not indicate it directly.

But as a history buff, knowing the exact address can avoid unnecessary disputes when discussing this issue. So today I specifically checked some historical data to make a simple description of Chengxiang’s location today. Argument.


First of all, there is no doubt that it is located in Luo County.

First, historical materials have clear written records in the past. Second, Sui and Tang counties before, the territory is much larger than it is now. In the Qin and Han dynasties, Deyang and Jintang had not yet set up counties, and their territory belonged to Luoxian at that time.

(Administrative settings in Qin and Han dynasties: prefectures, counties, townships, pavilions, li, Shuhan Guan Yu is Han Shoutinghou , the side reflects that the county level at that time is relatively high)

Here are some historical materials. Textual research on the location of Chengxiang, Luoxian County in Han Dynasty.

The picture above is a screenshot of "Hanzhou History" Hanzhou .As can be seen from the above picture, in the Han Dynasty, there were 3 townships in Luoxian at that time: Chengxiang, Fanxiang, Tongguanshan .

Tongguanshan This place name, Tan Qixiang edited the history of China at the East China Atlas. Because Luo County was so big at that time, there were only 3 townships in total, so it is impossible to put 2 in the east of Jintang County. So Chengxiang Jintang said can be excluded.

Panxiang , currently there is a clear written record of Eastern Jin Dynasty Changrong "Huayang Guozhi·Shu Zhi" contains: Luoxian " strong73 strong span9span ginger township" strong73 Land House ". But Jiang Shi was a celebrity in ancient times.

Jiang Shi, Eastern Han filial piety, one of the "Twenty-four filial piety" " protagonist Yongquan yue carp ." "One door and three filial piety" move ancient and modern , the story of Jiang Shi's family, in "Later Han Shu·Martial Girl Biography·Jiang Poetry and Wife Biography", " Dong Guan Han Ji", "Hua Yang Guo Zhi. Shu Zhi" "And "Shui Jing Zhu" have records.

To spread filial piety, was built forever in the Eastern Han Dynasty for five years (130 AD). The royal gift of Emperor Shun of Han was in the hometown of filial piety for Jiang Shili's hometown. Shown by people. During the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to avoid the deeds of the great filial son, the name was changed to Xiaoquan Town . Song Huizong During the Zhenghe period, this place was named Jiang Shizhen. Yuan dynasty Guo Jujing included "Ginger Poem Filial Piety, Yongquan Leaping Carp" into the book "Twenty-Four Filial Piety". " 孝泉 " is still used today because of the classic character of the story of a filial son.

Through clear data comparison, like Tongguanshan, Luoxian had only 3 townships at that time, Panxiang is today’s Xiaoquan , then said that Deyangquan Chengxiang "is also invalid.

excludes "Jintang Shuo" and "Deyang Shuo",In fact, it is not clear that Chengxiang is located in Luo County. I searched a lot of information, but did not find a clear written record. Then we can only continue to make an inference based on relevant information.


Let's look at the picture of the history of Hanzhou construction in the "Hanzhou History".

Let’s take a look at the history of the construction of Hanzhou after the Han Dynasty. In the Shuhan of the Three Kingdoms and the later Jin Dynasty, there were only two of the three recorded townships in Luo County: Fanxiang, Tongguanshan . is gone in Chengxiang!

Luoxian has always been there, and the county government has the greatest chance of not seeing the township. This shows that Chengxiang is in the town of Luoxian, and it has been governed together! Chengxiang is under the direct control of Luo County!

This situation was quite common in ancient times, not only in counties and townships, but also in states and counties. For example, after Guanghan County was changed to Hanzhou in the future, Luo County was revoked several times because it was the seat of the Hanzhou prefecture, and it was directly managed by Hanzhou.

Ming Dynasty Zhili period and before the Qing DynastyNo Luo County has been established, and Hanzhou is directly under the jurisdiction of Luo County.

In the end, my inference is: Chengxiang in the Han Dynasty was in the ancient Luoxian county seat and managed the western, southwest, and southern regions of Luoxian. Tongguan Mountain manages the eastern area of ​​Luoxian County. Fanxiang manages the northern area of ​​Luoxian County.


The above are all personal opinions. If there is a difference, I hope to correct it. I am grateful.
