The name Yecheng had nothing to do with Linzhang after the Western Jin Dynasty (314 AD).

Linzhang and Anyang both belonged to the ancient yidi. During the Three Kingdoms, Two Jin Dynasties, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, As the capital of the six dynasties of Cao Wei, Later Zhao, Ran Wei, Former Yan, Eastern Wei and Northern Qi, Yicheng lived in the political, economic, cultural and military center of northern China for four centuries, creating a brilliant history and culture, making Linzhang enjoy the reputation of "the hometown of the Three Kingdoms" and the "ancient capital of the Six Dynasties".

According to historical records, another name in the early days of Anyang was "邺" or "邺下", and "邺" or "邺下" appeared earlier than the name "Anyang". Anyang and Yecheng are two titles at different times in Anyang, which actually refer to the same place [3]. After the fall of the Shang Kingdom in the 11th century BC, it rose again 1500 years ago and became the political, economic and cultural center of China. From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the two Jin Dynasties and sixteen kingdoms, the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, there were cao wei, later Zhao, Ran Wei, Former Yan, Eastern Wei, Northern Qi and other 6 dynasties to build capitals here, later Zhao Emperor Shi Hu let the name of the capital Yecheng develop to an unprecedented peak. In 580, the old City of Ye (in present-day Linzhang County, Hebei Province) was destroyed, and the then Xiangzhou, Wei County, and Yi County, including the local residents, moved south to Anyang City, also known as Yi.

Yicheng was originally built in the Spring and Autumn Period, and is said to have been built by the Duke of Qi Huan. In 439 BC, Marquis Wen of Wei enfeoffed Yicheng as the capital of the State of Wei. Since then, Yecheng has gradually become the capital of Hou, the capital of Wang, and the capital of the state. During the Warring States period, Ximen Leopard was the Commander of the Imperial Household. The story of his rule over the river and the witches is known to almost everyone in women and children. During the Reign of Cao Wei, the northern city of Yi (邺北城, in present-day Linzhang County) was built, which was 7 miles long from east to west, 5 miles from north to south, 7 gates to the outer city, and 4 gates to the inner city. Cao Cao also built three famous platforms based on the city wall, namely the Golden Phoenix Platform, the Tongque Terrace, and the Ice Well Platform. Cao Cao and his sons feasted and drank poems here, creating the famous Three Cao Seven Sons, leaving the reputation of "Jian'an Wind Bone" for future generations, which is a good story in the history of Chinese literature.

The Eastern Wei Dynasty built nanye city, which was 6 miles long from east to west, and 8 miles and 18 steps from north to south. Many luxurious buildings have been added, such as the Taiji Hall, the Zhaoyang Hall, and the Xiandu Garden.

Gao Huan, the lord of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, who sang "The Sky is Heavenly and Wild", not only built a tower temple here, but also placed a robot here that could play instrumental music by himself, leaving an immortal beauty talk. During this period, the rulers especially advocated Buddhism, and did not hesitate to use a large number of forces to build Buddhist cave temples, leaving us with many immortal cultural relics and scenic spots, such as Lingquan Temple, Wanfogou, Northern Qi Grottoes, Xiangtangshan Grottoes, Honggu Temple Scenic Area, etc., some of which have inextricable causes with the famous Shaolin Temple.

When Emperor Xian of Han built an office, Cao Cao held the city of Yi (邺城, in present-day Linzhang County) and recruited scribes. During the Jian'an period at the end of the Han Dynasty, the authority of the world was already in the hands of Cao Cao. The Cao father and son like literature and reward elegance. With its superior political status and extraordinary literary literacy, it had a strong cohesion in the literary circle at that time. Those literati who were forced into exile in various places due to social turmoil successively wandered around Cao's base area, Tongquetai, Yicheng, and surrounded Cao's, even feasting on public opinion, chanting poems, and lyrical melodies and fierce grandeurs of compassion for the chaos of the times and saving the people from the world, setting off the first climax of the creation of literati in the history of Chinese literature and forming a polite and prosperous group of Yixia people. Therefore, Linzhang County and Anyang are also called Yixia [4].

According to the Records of Linzhang County, the area around present-day Linzhang belonged to Ji prefecture in Tang Yao, Yu Shun, and Xia, Shang belonged to Qi Nei, Western Zhou belonged to Wei, and Spring and Autumn belonged to Jin. Duke Huan of Qi (685 BC – 643 BC) began to build the city of Ye. The Warring States belonged to Wei. After Qin merged with tianxia, Yi belonged to Handan County. The Western Han Dynasty belonged to Wei County, and Han Gaozu was founded in Yi County, and Wei County was therefore here. From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, it still belonged to Wei County, and the county was governed by Yi County. The Western Jin Dynasty belonged to Wei County, and in the second year of Jianxing (314), in order to avoid emperor Sima Yi, he changed his name to Linzhang, and was named after the local Linzhang River, which was the beginning of the name of Linzhang County [1].

Northern Wei County, which belonged to Xiangzhou Wei County. Eastern Wei placed Linzhang County. Northern Qi, Northern Zhou to Sui, divided into Yi County, Linzhang County, under the jurisdiction of Xiang Prefecture. During the Tang and Song dynasties, Yi County and Linzhang County belonged to Xiangzhou Yi County. In the sixth year (1073) of Emperor Shenzong of Song, Yi County was changed to a town, and Yi County was merged into Linzhang County, which was under the jurisdiction of Xiang Prefecture (present-day Anyang City). Metal Zhangdewei, Yuan belonged to Zhangde Road, Ming belonged to Zhangde Province, and the administrative offices were all in the ancient city of Anyang. In the eighteenth year of Ming Hongwu (1385), the county seat of Linzhang was destroyed by Zhangshui. In the 27th year of Hongwu (1394), the county administration was moved to Liwang Village (present-day Linzhang County, 20 kilometers from the ruins of Yecheng). In the early years of the Republic of China, it was subordinate to Henan Hebei Province, and the daozhi was in Weihui; in the 13th year of the Republic of China, it was abolished and directly under Henan Province. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it belonged to the Handan Special Bureau. In 1958, it was merged into Ci County, and in 1961, it was re-established as Linzhang County. After 1993, it came under the jurisdiction of Handan City. [1]

邺下 is a synonym for today's Anyang City. This is due to the long-term rule of Yi County, Wei County, and Xiang Prefecture from the Northern Weekend and the early Sui Dynasty, and a habitual understanding formed in people's minds that their seat of governance is called Yicheng, so Anyang was called Yicheng. The Qing'an Yang people Wang Huai's "Four Sons of Yixia Poems" and so on all callEdang As Yi, Yicheng, and Yi County; to the Republic of China, in today's Anyang City, there is still a long-established stationery store called "Gu Yi Zhai", which naturally reminds people of the relationship between Yecheng and Anyang, which is actually a place. [4]

In the third year of the Sui Kai Emperor (583), Xiangzhou was renamed Wei County, and by the end of the Sui Dynasty, Wei County was changed to Yi Commandery.com. The seat of the county of Yi was in Anyang, which further enhanced the strength of Anyang's title of Ye. In the Song Dynasty, Xiangzhou was also known as Yi County, Xiang Prefecture was the proper name, and Yi County was given a name, and at that time each prefecture had a given name in preparation for knighthood. After the Song Dynasty, Anyang was no longer given a name, but Yicheng, Ande County had become an alias or ya name for Anyang City or Zhangde Province, which was a customary title. In addition, Guyi County has been abolished, and Anyang has completely inherited the name of Yi. For example, the Ming Dynasty Cui Milling's "Chronicle of Zhangde Fu" is also known as "Yi Cheng", and the Yi here refers to Zhangde Fu. Ming Xie Hazel has the poem "Autumn Huai under Yixia", and Wang Huai of Qing'an Yang has a magazine "Poetry of the Four Sons of Yixia", etc. all call Anyang Yi, Yicheng, and Yi County. Since the Republic of China, Anyang is still known as Yi. From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the beginning of the Republic of China, Anyang had the "Yihua Daily" (Anyang Wang Youqiao was founded in the third year of Xuanun), and later there was the "Yisheng Bao". In the 7th year of the Republic of China (1918), the Anyang Drum Tower was inscribed with a plaque of "Spectacular Under The Fall". After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1945, Xinye Town was set up in the east and Guxiang Town in the west in Anyang City; outside the city, There was Yidong Township in the east and Yexi Township in the west.

In mid-April 1947, the Central Bureau of the CPC Jinji-Hebei Luyu and the Government of the Border Region decided to establish Ye County to the east of the Pinghan Railway, the south of the Zhanghe River, and the west of the Huanhe River. At that time, the name Ye County was taken because it was considered that the area around Anyang was originally called Yi, which was an ancient Yi land. It was not until March 1949, when the Fourth Field Army passed south through Anyang, that the Yexian garrison moved to the edge of Anyang City. After the abolition of Pingyuan Province, the former Yi County was abolished, and the territory was assigned to the area east of the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway in Anyang County, Anyang City, Henan Province. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the government of Ye County moved to Chongyi, and in 1953 it moved to Baibiji. In September 1954, Anyang and Yi counties were merged into Anyang County, which belonged to Anyang Special District of Henan Province, and the county government moved to Erdao Street in anyang City, and later moved to present-day Jiefang Avenue. From the above settings and history of Yecheng, Yixian and Yexian, we can clearly understand the history of Anyang.

Yin Yi is one

Scholars believe that the relationship between the two ancient cities of Yecheng (the old City of Yicheng in Linzhang County, Hebei Province) and the old city of Present-day Anyang, Henan Province, that is, the New City of Yecheng) in history, scholars believe that the two have continuity and inheritance. Its geopolitical factors are yin yi or yin yi, which has a deep historical origin and close practical ties. [5]

Yin and Yi are both located on the alluvial fan of Zhanghuan in the eastern foothills of Taihang Mountain, and the regions are closely connected. Historically, it was within an administrative region for a long time. Their relationship, like feng, pickaxe, xianyang and Chang'an in the Guanzhong Plain, is in the same vein and inseparable. When talking about the history of Anyang, we should include the history of Yin and Ye.

During the Yin Shang Period, Yin Ruins was the capital of the state (c. 1378 BC – 1106 BC). By the time of Di Xin (Emperor Huan), the territory ranged from the sea in the east, to the west of Shaanxi Province in the west, to the south of the Yangtze River in the south, and to The northeast to Liaoning, which was already a big country in the world at that time, and the land of Yidi, 20 kilometers away from yindu (now Xiaotun in Anyang), was the capital of the Yin Shang Dynasty. King Wu extinguished the Throne, sealed Wu Geng's guard of Yin Qi, and placed Wu Geng's Yin Land.

The scholar Chen Mengjia once pointed out: "Sima Shang. The "History of the Road" is thought to be Shangjiaju, in present-day Tangyin, Henan. However, the so-called tombs of Sima and Shang seem to be Xiaotun in present-day Anyang, and there are large and small Sikong villages on the opposite bank of present-day Xiaotun... If Yi is inhabited by Dajia, then Yi is Yin. ” [6]

In the Warring States period, in the seventh year of the reign of Marquis Wen of Wei (439 BC), the capital was once set at Yi, with Ximen Leopard as the commander of the Imperial Guard. After Qin unified the Six Kingdoms, Anyang County was established. Until the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty (205 BC), Anyang County was incorporated into Tangyin County. Shi Tangyin County belonged to Wei Commandery (魏郡, in the twelfth year of the Western Han Dynasty, 195 BC), zhiyi County. From the seventh year of Wei Wenhou to the twelfth year of Gaozu of the Western Han Dynasty (439 BC to 195 BC), Yi Ling Yin (Anyang).

From the ninth year of Jian'an (204) of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the first year of the Huang Dynasty (220), Cao Wei set the capital Ate. During the Sixteen Kingdoms period (335-370), Later Zhao, Ran Wei, and Former Yan were all set at Yi. The Northern Dynasty, from 534 to 577, the capital of Eastern Wei and Northern Qi was set at Yi.

During the period when Yi was the capital, Yindi (Anyang) was under the jurisdiction of Wei County and Yi County, in fact, it was Yi Han Yin.

In the second year of the Northern Zhou Dynasty (580), Yang Jian burned The City of Yicheng, and moved to Xiangzhou, Wei County, and Yi County at Anyang City, 20 kilometers south of Yi, and Yi Lost its leadership position and the political center moved to Anyang (殷). In the third year (583) of the Sui Kai Emperor, Wei County was deposed, and Yi County was annexed to Xiang Prefecture. In the tenth year of the Sui Kai Emperor (590), Yi County moved back to its hometown of Yecheng. In the eighth year of Tang Zhenguan (634), 50 steps west of the ancient city of Yi, a small city was built to rule Yi County, ending the situation that after Yang Jian burned Ye City, there was no fixed place of governance in Yi County for a long time, but from then on, XiangZhou Zhi'an Yang (殷), Yi was its subordinate county. This is the tang dynasty system.

In the fifth year of the Northern Song Dynasty (1072), Tianzhangge was to be made by Zeng Xiaokuan, visited (Huang) Hebei, and abolished Yi County as a town, and from then on Yi County was demoted to a town. The western, central and southern parts of Yi County enter Anyang, but the eastern city of Guye and its vicinity enter Linzhang. Therefore, from Qingliangshan in the west, along the south of the present-day Anyang County Beiling, through the south of Biaojian, east to the north of Hanling Mountain, north of this line, the west and south-central part of the former Yi County, into Anyang County. Since then, there has been no County, nearly 900 years.

In the third year of Jin Mingchang (1192), Shengxiang Prefecture was made Zhangde Province, and the prefecture was Zhi'an Yang. Jin followed the Song system and designated Xiangzhou as Hebei West Road. Yuan, changed to Zhangde Road, belongs to Zhongshu Province. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was restored to Zhangde Province and changed to Henan Provincial Envoy Department. Shi Zhangde Province led Anyang, Linzhang, Tangyin, Linxian, Wu'an, Xiangxian and Cizhou, a total of 6 counties and 1 prefecture. The former capital of Yecheng, located in the territory of Linzhang, is under the jurisdiction of Zhangde Province.

Under the Qing Dynasty, Zhangde Province still administers 6 counties and 1 prefecture. During the Yongzheng period, Cizhou was demarcated and the genus was cut off. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zhangde Province belonged to Zhangwei Huaidao, Fu Zhi'an Yang, Xialing Anyang, Tangyin, LinXian County, Xiang County, Wu'an, Linzhang, neihuang 7 counties, Yi under the jurisdiction of Zhangde Province.

In modern times, in January 1912, the Republic of China was established. In March 1913, the whole country abolished the prefecture, Cundao County. Abolish Zhangde Province, Cun'anyang County. The 7 counties under the jurisdiction of the former Zhangde Province were subordinate to Yubei Province (formerly Zhangwei Huaidao) in Henan Province. The following year, it was located in Hebei Province. In August 1932, the Kuomintang Nanjing government set up administrative inspectors and offices, the Office of administrative inspectors, in the sub-provincial sub-districts. In October, Anyang was the administrative office of the Administrative Inspector of the Third District of Henan Province, with a total of 11 counties, namely Anyang, Linzhang, Wu'an, Xiangxian, Linxian, Tangyin, Neihuang, Jixian, Huaxian, Junxian and Qixian.

In 1937, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out. In November of the same year, Anyang was invaded by the Japanese army. The Office of the Third District Administrative Inspector of henan Province of the Kuomintang moved to Shuiye, Jiyuan, Linxian, Huaxian, Yanjin and other places. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1945, in order to seize the fruits of victory, the Office of the Administrative Inspector of the Third District of Henan Province seized Anyang City. The counties it occupied remained the original 11 counties (including Linzhang) until the liberation of Anyang City on May 6, 1949.

During the 1369 years from the second year of the Northern Zhou Elephant (580) to the liberation of Anyang City on May 6, 1949, Linzhang was under the jurisdiction of Xiangzhou and Zhangde Province (known as Hebei West Road in Jin, Zhangde Road in The Yuan, and Zhangwei Huaidao) in Anyang, so Yecheng was a dependency of Linzhang County and also under the jurisdiction of Anyang. From this, it can be seen that Yin (Anyang) Yi is actually one.
