Wànquán

Wanquan was a county on the plains of southwestern Shanxi, named for the many springs in a valley east of the town. It was established under the Tang and later belonged to Puzhou. Its Confucian temple stood in the eastern part of the old town, with halls for ritual and education. The Yuan abolished the county in 1266, but restored it thirteen years later after its population had grown. In 1369 the Ming placed it under Puzhou, and the temple was maintained through the Ming period.
