Why did Dingzhou and Gan 'an have the same name a thousand years ago?

During the Five Dynasties in history (907-979), dynasties changed frequently and wars were frequent.

In February of the first year of Lund (92 1), the army of Chengde Town (the envoy of the Tang Dynasty in present-day Hebei Province, which was divided into three towns in Hebei from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, and governed the first-class states of Hengji, Cangding) launched a mutiny in Zhang, killing our ambassador Wang? On the one hand, Li, the king of Jin, secretly sent messengers to the Khitan and asked the two countries to send troops to drive the Jin army out of Hebei.

In October of the first year of Lund (92 1), Lu Ye, Emperor of Qidan, led an army and captured more than ten cities including Gubeikou. 12, Baoji attacked Keke in Youzhou, but drove south, captured Zhuozhou and attacked Dingzhou. Li, the king of Jin, personally led 5,000 troops to rescue Dingzhou and fought twice in Xincheng (now Gaobeidian, Hebei). It was the middle of winter and the snow was five feet deep on the ground. Qidan soldiers and horses were short of food and grass and starved to death. Both wars were defeated by the Khitan, who was forced to retreat. When withdrawing troops, Yelv Baoji took away the residents of Wang Du, Anxi and Yifeng counties under Dingzhou's jurisdiction at that time, and the overseas Chinese settled in Pingzhou (now Luanxian County, Qian 'an). Residents of the three counties still use the original place names in Dingzhou, so Dingzhou Heping (later divided into Luanzhou) has the same name in the three counties.

Second, the origin of overseas Chinese governing the county

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Khitans became strong, and the Khitan State was established in 9 16 (changed to Liao State in 947). After that, they plundered neighboring nationalities for years, invaded the south constantly, and often plundered the northern and central areas of Hebei Province today. For the captured Han people, the Tang system was adopted, and prefectures and counties were set up. The Liao State set up some prefectures and counties with the same name as Hebei. Battlements were built in most counties, where the captured Han people gathered to engage in agricultural production, making them ruled and enslaved by the Khitan nobles, but the living customs of the Han people were still preserved. These people plundered by Baoji, including some Han intellectuals, played an important role in consolidating Baoji's regime, especially in the process of establishing the Khitan State when he proclaimed himself emperor. At the same time, they also helped Baoji to establish various political systems and taught him how to use the Han people to engage in production and promote economic development.

In the sixth year of Liao Taizu (9 13), in the winter of 10, he occupied Pingzhou (now under the jurisdiction of lulong county), took Pingzhou as the rear base, and launched many large-scale looting wars against Youzhou and Dingzhou, plundering children and moving to Liao country.

Third, the historical changes of two places and three counties

1, Anxi County of Dingzhou became today's Dingzhou City: During the Tang Dynasty, Anxi County was under the jurisdiction of Dingzhou. The Northern Song Dynasty was ruled by Zhongshan government. In the third year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1370), Dingzhou was abolished. In the Republic of China, Dingzhou was abolished and later set up.

Anxi County in Pingzhou became Qian 'an City today: Anxi County was located in Wanjun Village, Yanggezhuang Town, Qian 'an County, Hebei Province in the early Liao Dynasty. In the seventh year of Jin Dading (1 167), it was changed to Gan 'an County, meaning "moved from Anxi", and its name is still in use today.

2. Wangdu County, Dingzhou, now Wangdu County, Baoding: Wangdu County was called in the Western Han Dynasty, belonging to Zhongshan State and abandoned in the Northern Qi Dynasty. In the sixth year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (586), it was restored, belonging to Dingzhou, and the great cause was abolished at the beginning. In the fourth year of Tang Wude (62 1), it was returned to Dingzhou. The old town of Xian 'an County (now the east of Dingzhou City) moved to Wangdu County, Hebei Province in the eighth year of Zhenguan (634). Jin was renamed county. In the 11th year of Qingganlong (1746), it was renamed Wangdu County, belonging to Baoding Prefecture.

Wangdu County in Pingzhou no longer exists today: Wangdu County in Dingzhou, Liaoning Province belongs to Pingzhou. Governance is now south of lulong county, Hebei. In the seventh year of Jin Dading (1 167), it was changed to Haishan County, and in the second year of Yuan Dynasty (1265), the abandoned Haishan County entered Changli County. The following year, it was reset, belonging to Pingluan Road. Four years (1267) and waste.

3. Yifeng County in Dingzhou is now called anguo city: it was called Anguo County in the Western Han Dynasty, but it was abolished in the Northern Qi Dynasty. In the sixth year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (586), Yifeng County, now anguo city, Hebei Province, was established, belonging to Dingzhou. In the second year of Wuzhou (697), it was renamed Lijie County. In the first year of Shenlong in the Tang Dynasty (705), Yifeng County was restored. In the first year of Taiping Xingguo in the Northern Song Dynasty (976), it was changed to Puyin County, which belonged to Dingzhou. In the second year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1369), Puyin County entered qi zhou, and in19/3, qi zhou returned to Qixian County, and was renamed Anguo County the following year.

Yifeng County in Luanzhou, which is Luanxian County in Tangshan now: After the attack of Pingzhou by Yelu Baoji, Liaoxing Army, a military town, was set up in Pingzhou and Anjun Yong in Luanzhou. In 922 AD, Liao Taizu took the people of Yifeng County (now Anguo) in Dingzhou into exile and settled in Luanzhou, establishing Luanzhou (now Luanxian County, Hebei Province). Luanzhou governs Yifeng, Macheng (now Macheng in Luannan) and Shicheng (now Kaiping in East Mining Area). In the second year of Mengyuan (1265), he moved from Yifeng County to Luanzhou, and moved in the third year. In the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1369), Luanzhou was evacuated again, and Luanzhou was reduced to Luanxian in 19 13.
