Shanxi province has a long history. It is located to the east of the Yellow River, to the west of Taihang Mountain and to the north of China. It has been the birthplace of the Chinese nation and Chinese civilization since ancient times. It was called Hedong in ancient times. When the Ming Dynasty was founded, it was called Shanxi Province (later changed to Shanxi Province). Because it was the State of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was called "Jin" for short. There are eleven prefecture-level cities in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, and Linfen City is one of them. Linfen, known as Pingyang in ancient times, is located in the southwest of Shanxi Province, with Taiyue in the east and the Yellow River in the west. It is named after its location on the bank of Fenshui. Linfen's geographical position is very important, and it is also an important birthplace of the Chinese nation. It used to be the ancient capital of Yao and the first capital of China. Now Linfen has jurisdiction over 1 district 16 county (including 2 county-level cities). Four of the sixteen counties are particularly special, not only with a long history, but also with a single name, among which three counties were once states in history. Guxian is a county, not only named "Gu", but also has a very long history. Guxian County is located in the northeast of Linfen City, at the southern foot of Taiyue Mountain Range, and has a deep relationship with Anze County, a neighboring county in the east, and has long been integrated. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was a county in this ancient county called Anze County, which was located in this ancient town. The Sui Dynasty was renamed Yueyang County, with the same name as Yueyang County in Hunan Province, and it has not been renamed for more than 1000 years. 19 14 years, Beiyang * * * decided the place name, and Yueyang County was changed to Anze County. At this time, the county seat was located in Yueyang Town and moved to Anze in the Republic of China. 197 1 year, an ancient county (once referred to as Yueyang county) was established in the northwest of Anze county. Guxian County and Anze County belong to Linfen area, and now both belong to Linfen City. Jixian County is located in the southwest of Linfen, on the edge of the Yellow River, facing Yichuan County of Shaanxi Province across the Yellow River. This is an ancient city with a long history. Jixian county was called Hedong in ancient times, and the county was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Sui Dynasty, counties were distributed in Jing Jun County, Wucheng County, Dingyang County and Jichang County. Jichang County was reorganized from Dingyang County in Sui Dynasty, and was ruled by Fenzhou, Nanfenzhou and Cizhou in Sui and Tang Dynasties. The Five Dynasties was renamed Jixiang County. The Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty and Cizhou were renamed as Gengzhou and Jizhou. In the Yuan Dynasty, Jixiang County entered Jizhou. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Jizhou belonged to Pingyang County. In the early years of the Republic of China, the abandoned state was changed to Jixian County. Puxian County is located in the southwest of Shanxi, the northwest of Linfen, and the south foot of Shanxi in Lvliang. Because there is Puzi Mountain in the county, it is named "Pu". The earliest county system in Puxian County was Shicheng County established in the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was renamed Puzi County in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Puxian County in the Sui Dynasty. Changzhou was briefly established here in the early Tang Dynasty, and Puxian was promoted to Zhou Pu in the Jin Dynasty (not Yongji today). In the Yuan Dynasty, it was merged into Jichuan County, and in the early Ming Dynasty, Puxian County was re-established under Pingyang Prefecture. Now it is a county under the jurisdiction of Linfen City. Xixian County is located at the northwest edge of Linfen, at the southern foot of Luliang Mountain. Named after the south Longquan and wetland in the county. Puzi County was established in Xixian County in the Western Han Dynasty, and Fenzhou was established here in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. In the Sui Dynasty, it was renamed Xifen County and Qiao Zhou. Since the Tang Dynasty, it has mostly been named Qiao Zhou. In the Ming Dynasty, Qiao Zhou belonged to Pingyang Prefecture, and in the Qing Dynasty, it was promoted to Zhili Prefecture, on a par with the government. In the early years of the Republic of China, the abandoned state was changed to county, and the state was changed to county. Now it is a county under the jurisdiction of Linfen City.
