Evolution of Yanting County's Establishment
In ancient times, Yanting County was located in the south of Pengxi County, with Xihe River in nanbu county in the north, Fujiang River in Santai County in the west and Xichong County in the east, covering an area of almost 100 km. In the 11th year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 355), Duke Mu of Jin established Wan 'an County in Wan 'an, and the ancient city was in Zitong Shuiwei, belonging to Guanghan County. In the first year of Emperor Yi's reign in Jin 'an (AD 405), wanan county moved to Zen Pavilion (now Yanting Pavilion) because of the "Qiaozong Rebellion", and the county was located in Lingjiangdong near Yanjing, still named wanan county.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, due to the Liao uprising, Dangqu people moved westward. In the 19th year of Song Yuanjia (AD 442), he settled in Dangqu County, west of Yanting, and led Dangqu, Xuancheng, early Han and Dongguan counties. In the first year of Liang Datong (AD 535), a pavilion was built here. Because Wan 'an was abolished by the county, wanan county was renamed chanting county. After the Western Wei Dynasty abolished the emperor for two years (AD 553), the states, counties and counties were relocated in the first year of Gongyi (AD 554), and Yanting County was established in the county of chanting.
