Wàngpíng

Wangping was an old district northeast of Guangning in the Liao River country. A local gazetteer records that the Han established a county here, the Liao used the name Shandong, and the Jin restored the name Wangping. The Yuan later absorbed it into Zhongxiu, and the county was abolished under the Ming. Its successive names recall the changing administration of the plains east of Mount Yiwulü.
