Baojing county system
Baojing County was the Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In the third year of Chu Weiwang (337 BC), Qianzhong County was built, which was named after Qian Shan. At that time, it was under the jurisdiction of western Hunan Province and northeastern Guizhou Province.
In 280 BC, Qin captured Chu and Guizhou, but it was quickly recovered. In 277 BC, the Qin Dynasty captured the land of Wuxian, Qianzhong and Jiangnan, and established Qianzhong County, covering the Heshui River Basin in Hunan, Qingjiang River Basin in Hubei, Qianjiang River Basin in Chongqing and Baojing in the middle of Qianzhong County.
In the fifth year of Emperor Gaozu (202 BC), the county in central Guizhou was Wuling County, and the five streams in western Hunan moved to Lingxian County, which is now Frankincense Rock on the north bank of Youshui in Lingdong Town, with the place name "Sifang City". At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang changed the tomb to land. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the mausoleum was relocated again and still belonged to Wuling County.
