Fànyáng

Fanyang was an old county southwest of Beijing, on the plain around Zhuozhou. Its name was borne by the celebrated Lu family of Fanyang, one of the great aristocratic lineages of medieval China. The county became the seat of Zhuozhou under the Tang and continued under later dynasties. In the early Ming it was absorbed into Zhuozhou, although the historic name retained its distinction in family and literary memory.
