Where is the ancient Xuchang?

Xuchang, a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Henan Province, also known as Liancheng, is located in the middle of Henan Province, one of the core cities of the Central Plains urban agglomeration and the Central Plains Economic Zone.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei was called Yingchuan County, which belonged to Yuzhou. Jian 'an District, Yingshang County, Yanling County and Changshe County all belonged to Yingchuan County. Xuchang is one of the five capitals of Wei.

In the second year of Wei Emperor (22 1), Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei, changed Xu County to "Xuchang County" with the phrase "Han died in Xu, Wei Jichang died in Xu".
