Where is Shuofang County in Han Dynasty now?

Shuofang County in the Han Dynasty is now Lanchengzi in Wuhai City.

Shuofang County was founded in the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. In 127 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Wei Qing and Li Xi to attack the Huns, sending troops from the clouds, passing through Gaoque in the west and then to R&F in the west, recovering the former Qin area south of Hetao, and setting up Shuofang County and Wuyuan County in the valley south of Yinshan Mountain.

In the second year, Su Jian, a captain, was sent to lead 100,000 people to build the Great Wall at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain and to build Shuofang County and its subordinate counties. Shuofang County is located in the north of Chang 'an, the capital of Han Dynasty, so it is named after Shuofang County in the Book of Songs.

It has three counties: Sanfeng, Shuofang, Xiudu, He Lin, Hudao, Honghun, Qushui, Woye, Guangmu and Lin Rong. Among them, it has been found that Shuofang County is located in the northwest of Otog Banner, and Woye County is located in Lanchengzi, Wuhai City.

Extended data:

Most of Shuofang County is the alluvial area of the Yellow River, which is fertile soil for irrigation and reclamation. When Shuofang County was established in BC 127, it was considered to reclaim land in this area.

Thus, in 122 BC, the poor in Kanto were moved to Hetao area. During Ding Yuan's reign, he set up officials in Shang Jun County, Shuofang County, Xihe County and Hexi County, and sent 600,000 people to reclaim land, some of whom became rich in Shuofang County.

In 65438 BC+065438 BC+00 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty toured north, passed through Shang Jun, Xihe County and Wuyuan County, went out of the Great Wall, arrived in Shuofang County, and reached the north of the Yellow River. In BC 107, General Bahu was sent to settle in Shuofang and raised 100,000 people to move to Shuofang.

Soldiers guarding the border and mainland immigrants are stationed in the border areas, which not only ensures that the newly-built counties are stationed at any time to prepare for the war, but also avoids long-distance transportation and solves the rations on the spot.
