Shāngluò

Shangluo lies in the Dan River valley east of Shangzhou. The ancient settlement of Shang was traditionally associated with Xie, an ancestor of the Shang dynasty, and with Shang Yang, the Qin reformer granted lands in the region. Shang County was renamed Shangluo under the Sui, and its seat moved to Shangzhen in the Tang. In 1154 the Jin reduced Shangluo to a town and absorbed its territory into neighbouring Upper Luo County, the seat of Shangzhou.
