Wénxiāng

Wenxiang lay near the Yellow River between the western pass of Tongguan and Hangu Pass to the east. Its county had a long history of changing seats and neighbours. In 1265 the Yuan absorbed Hucheng County into Wenxiang, whose seat was then at Wendi. Early in the Ming the county seat moved to the site of the former Tang-period Hucheng, and Wenxiang came under Shanzhou, an arrangement retained under the Qing.
