Zhūyáng

Zhuyang lies among the mountains southeast of Lushi, on a route leading toward Neixiang. A county of that name was established in the Northern Wei, with an early seat in the Zhuyangguan area before it moved elsewhere. The name also survives in the mountain pass on the road between Lushi and Neixiang. The poet Yuan Haowen travelled this difficult road in the late Jin, and a Qing account described the pass as having an upper and a lower barrier.
