Yíyáng

Yiyang lies on the Luo River west of Luoyang. Further upstream at Hancheng are the remains of an ancient city associated with the state of Han. The county was called Shou'an under the Tang, but the Yuan restored the name Yiyang and absorbed neighbouring Fuchang. Early in the Ming, officials and local residents undertook to rebuild the county's damaged Confucian school, contributing money and grain to restore its gates and hall after years of warfare.
