Línhuàn

Línhuàn is an ancient walled settlement on the northern Ānhuī plain. Known as Zhì in antiquity, it passed among the states of Sòng, Wèi, and Chǔ before becoming a Qín county. In 1232, as Mongol armies advanced against the Jīn dynasty, the magistrate Zhāng Ruòyú defended the city and died in the fighting. The county was later absorbed into Sùzhōu under the Yuán.
