Zǎoyáng

Zǎoyáng lies in northern Húběi near the old territory of Càiyáng. The family of Liú Xiù, who became Emperor Guāngwǔ of the Eastern Hàn, held land at Báishuǐ in this district. From the countryside around Chōnglíng he and his kinsmen joined the struggles that followed the fall of Wáng Mǎng, eventually restoring the Hàn dynasty.
