## History

[edit]

During the Warring States period, the area belonged to the independent kingdom of Yelang.[4] The Records of the Grand Historian states that of all the independent kingdoms in the area, Yelang was the largest.[4] The kingdom was located along Zangke River (now called Beipan River), and Nanpan River.[citation needed] Bamboo Worship, Cow Totems, bullfights and dogfights were the culture traditions of the Yelang Empire.[citation needed] In 111 BCE, Yelang was conquered by the Han dynasty, and incorporated as Zangke Commandery [zh].[4] From 28 BCE to 25 BCE, an insurrection against Emperor Cheng called for the reinstatement of the Yelang Kingdom, but was crushed by Han forces.[4]

In the Three Kingdoms period, the area was split between the county of Yelang and the county of Qielan [zh] within Yi Province.[4]

Under the Jin dynasty, the area of present-day Anshun would fall under the jurisdiction of Guangtan County (廣談縣) within Yi Province.[4]

During the Sui dynasty, the area belonged to Binhua County (宾化縣), located within Zangke Commandery, Zang Province [zh].[4]

This organization of the region remained intact until the latter portion of the Tang dynasty, when it was re-organized under the Puning Commandery [zh].[4] The area would remain under the Puning Commandery until 1292, when, under the Yuan dynasty, the area would fall under Puding Prefecture [zh], which it would remain under until 1372.[4]

Anshun Prefecture [zh] was established during the early Ming dynasty to govern the region, and would remain until 1602, when it was replaced by the Anshun Military and Civil Administration (安順軍民府).[4] The area was incorporated into the Qing dynasty in 1658, and a new Anshun Prefecture [zh] was established.[4] In April 1638, Xu Xiake, the greatest travel writer and geographer of ancient China, traveled to Anshun.[5]

In 1673, the area became engulfed under the Revolt of the Three Feudatories, during which, significant fighting took place in Anshun.[4]

The Anshun Prefecture would remain until January 15, 1913, when the Republic of China revoked the prefecture system.[4] After a short-lived implementation of a county to govern Anshun, the city was placed under Guizhou West Circuit [zh], until reverting to the county system.[4]

In 1950, Anshun Prefecture [zh] was established, governing 6 county-level divisions.[6] In 1958, Anshun County (安顺县) was upgraded to serve as a county-level city.[4][6] In 1970, Anshun Prefecture was re-organized as Anshun Area (安顺地区), which it would remain until June 23, 2000, when it was re-organized as a prefecture-level city.[4][6]
