Xiāngrú

Xiangru lay beside the Jialing River in the hills of the Sichuan Basin. The old county became the seat of Pengzhou under the Yuan, after the prefecture moved from its earlier seat. Its territory also absorbed land from the former Pengchi County. Early in the Ming, Xiangru County was abolished and its land placed directly under Pengzhou, which belonged to Shunqing Prefecture. The old town remained a local centre on the river, its changing administrative names preserving the history of the districts brought together around it.
