Zànhuáng

Zanhuang lies at the eastern foot of the Taihang Mountains in southern Hebei. It was the ancestral home of Li Deyu, a leading statesman of the late Tang dynasty, and his father Li Jifu, who also served as a chief minister. Li Deyu's career stretched across several reigns and involved him in the bitter factional struggles of the Tang court. Their family gave this mountain-edge county a lasting place in the political history of the dynasty.
