It was revoked in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so it was ruled in Haoyu Village, 0/5 km north of Linxian County, Shanxi Province, and there was an ancient city site. The rulers renamed Linquan County as Linshui County, which belonged to Shizhou. Therefore, it is governed in Guxian Village, 25 kilometers north of Linxian County, Shanxi Province.
