Baoding is located in the southwest of Beijing. According to the Records of Baoding County in Hongzhi period of Ming Dynasty, Yan Zhaowang once built Yangguangcheng five miles east of Baoding, which was a place for grazing horses. Therefore, the towns in Baoding originally appeared to protect the security of Yan State.

Baoding was originally centered on Qingyuan, and Qingyuan County was established in the first year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (477). It was burned by Qidan soldiers in the Five Dynasties. In the first year of Stegosaurus in the Northern Song Dynasty (960), Zhao Kuangyin set up the "Baosai Army" in the abandoned city of Qingyuan, and in the ninth year of Taiping and Xingguo in the Northern Song Dynasty (984), it was promoted to "Baozhou".
