Chóngshàn

Chongshan was a county on the Zuo River in southwestern Guangxi. Established under the Song and ruled by hereditary Zhao chiefs, it became part of Taiping prefecture under the Ming. Appointed officials replaced the local rulers during the Xuande reign. In 1540 the county seat moved from its older site into the prefectural city, making Chongshan the county attached to Taiping’s walls.
