During the Warring States Period, Liaodong was owned by Yan State. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the imperial court established Liaodong County here. However, during the Three Kingdoms period, according to historical records, Sima Yi slaughtered the population of Liaodong in order to solve the problem of Gongsun's separatist regime in Liaodong. Sima yi's move did solve the problem of the separatist regime in Liaodong, but his move led to a large-scale decline in the population of Liaodong. As a result, the Liaodong area was successively occupied by Xianbei, Koguryo and Baekje. Although Tang Gaozong sent troops to destroy Koguryo in the Tang Dynasty and established political power here? Happiness is to protect the government? Return to the control of the Central Plains dynasty. But Liaodong at this time is no longer the original Han Chinese settlement.

During the Ming dynasty, due to the large number of immigrants from the Ming government to Liaodong, the number of Han people living and reclaiming Liaodong land increased again. During the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong once again became the residence of the Han people and gradually merged with the Central Plains. In the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong Dusi was established in Liaodong area, and the control of Liaodong area lasted until the end of the Ming Dynasty. Then, all the systems were based on the example of the Manchu Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty. Why is Liaodong not included? Eighteen provinces in Han Dynasty? And then what?

This is related to the theory of unified dynasty in Ming and Qing dynasties. In the Ming court's view, Liaodong area is a gathering place for Han people, and naturally belongs to the land of Han people in the unified dynasty. However, in the Qing dynasty's view, Liaodong area was theirs? The land of Longxing? , is the root of their rule of the central plains, once the Liaodong region into? Eighteen provinces in Han Dynasty? , is equivalent to the loss of their original interests.

Whether before or after the Manchu entered the Central Plains, the Manchu royal family regarded the northeast as their fundamental place, and other parts of the Central Plains were more like trophies they conquered. Liaodong area is the most suitable place to live and develop agriculture in the whole northeast, which can provide vested interests for Manchu. If the Manchu people's position in the Central Plains is not guaranteed, they can also return to Liaodong to rebuild the country. Therefore, when Manchu moved into the Central Plains, the Han people in Liaodong were expelled from the customs, and Manchu was forbidden to marry the Han people. It is precisely because of the above reasons that Liaodong area was not included in the territory of the Han Dynasty during the Qing Dynasty, and naturally it will not be included.
