Shàowǔ

Shàowǔ stands on the Fùtún River in northwestern Fújiàn, on a route through the mountains toward Jiāngxī. In 979 the Sòng established Shàowǔ Military Prefecture and moved the county seat to the south bank of the river, where an earthen-walled town was built. Its position on the inland approach to Fújiàn made it a place of military importance.
