Historical evolution:
The establishment of Lvliang can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period, when there were Quyi, Ping Ling, Zhongyang and Guayan counties in Lvliang. In 376 BC, after Han, Zhao and Wei were divided into Jin;
Lvliang is the territory of Zhao, with Zhongyang, Zishi (formerly Guayan, now Fenyang and Xiaoyi) and Daling (formerly Ping Ling, now Wenshui). After the establishment of Taiyuan County in the fourth year of Emperor Xiang of Qin Zhuang (the first 246 years), Lvliang became the territory of Taiyuan County, with counties such as Daling and Zishi.
At the beginning of Han Dynasty, Lvliang was still the territory of Taiyuan County. After the establishment of Xihe County in the 4th year of Emperor Yuan Shuo (before125th year), Lvliang belonged to Xihe County, Taiyuan County and Pingyang County. Daling, Pingtao (the village of horizontal pottery in this article) and Zishi are counties under the jurisdiction of Taiyuan County;
Lin, Gao Lang, Zhongyang, Lishi, Tujun, Ji and Linshui are counties under the jurisdiction of Xihe County; Puzi County is a county under Pingyang County. After Wang Mang replaced the Han Dynasty, Zishi County was changed to Zitong, Daling County to Daning, Pingtao County to Duomao, and Linshui County to Shuijian. After the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the counties resumed their old names.
