Eastern Capital Circuit

滿 沿 使 <> <>
Liaoyang Prefecture of the Eastern Capital was ancient Chaoxian land. When King Wu of Zhou freed Jizi from captivity, Jizi withdrew to Chaoxian and received investiture there. He promulgated the Eight Precepts, exalted ritual and right conduct, and promoted agriculture and silk—outer gates stood unbarred and theft vanished. The line endured more than forty generations. Under Yan it fell under Zhenfan and Chaoxian; the dynasty first posted officials and raised frontier barriers. Under Qin it lay within Liaodong's outer marches. In early Han it was vacant territory once held by the Yan commander Man. In Yuanfeng year 3 Emperor Wu organized Chaoxian into four commanderies—Zhenfan, Lintun, Lelang, and Xuantu. Under Later Han it shifted between the Qing and You provinces and between Liaodong and Xuantu—its administrative lines were never stable. In late Han Gongsun Du seized it and passed control to his son Kang; his grandson Yuan declared himself King of Yan with era Shaohan, until Wei overthrew him. Jin lost the region to Goryeo, which later yielded to Murong Chui; Bao installed the Goguryeo king An as governor of Ping Prefecture and settled him there. Northern Wei Emperor Taiwu dispatched envoys to Pyongyang—the Liao Eastern Capital traces to this seat. When Tang Gaozong conquered Goryeo he placed the Andong Protectorate here; later the Great Clan of Bohai held it. The clan first secured Dongmou Mountain east of Yilou. During Empress Wu's Wansui Tongtian reign, harried by Khitan Jinzhong, Qiqi Zhongxiang crossed the Liao to fortify himself and was enfeoffed Duke of Zhen. Zuorong founded a capital, took the title King Zhen, absorbed the northern seacoast—five thousand li of ground and armies numbering hundreds of thousands. Zhongzong named his capital Hohan Prefecture and made him Prince of Bohai. By the twelfth generation Yizhen adopted reign titles, modeled palaces, and maintained five capitals, fifteen fu, and sixty-two zhou—a great power of the eastern sea. Hohan Prefecture was the old Pyongyang, called Central Capital Xiande Prefecture. First: Taizu founded the dynasty, attacked Bohai, took Hohan city, captured King Dainiezhi, established Eastern Dan, and set Crown Prince Tuyu as Renhuang King to govern it. In Shence year 4 he restored old Liaoyang, settled Bohai and Han households there, and created Dongping Commandery as a defense prefecture. Second: In Tianxian year 3 Eastern Dan subjects were relocated there and the seat was raised to Nanjing.

The city bore the name Tianfu; third, its walls stood three zhang high with towers and parapets, thirty li in circuit. Eight gates: east Yingyang, southeast Shaoyang, south Longyuan, southwest Xiande, west Dashun, northwest Daliao, north Huaiyuan, northeast Anyuan. The palace quarter stood northeast, three zhang high with fighting towers; three southern gates rose with towered pavilions; corner towers at the four angles stood two li apart. North of the palace wall stood the Abdication Emperor's portrait hall. The Great Inner held two halls without palace women—only Inner Secretariat deputies and judging officials kept watch. A stele inscription for the Great Eastern Dan State's new Nanjing stood south of the palace gate. The outer city, called Han City, split into south and north markets with a viewing tower at the center; morning trade gathered in the south market, evening in the north. West of the avenues stood Jinde Temple; Dabei Temple; Imperial Son-in-Law Temple, site of the iron banner pole; the Temple of Zhao the Ascetic; the Regent Yamen; the Households Bureau; the Military Patrol Office—over a thousand Guihua Camp troops; Hebei fugitives were enrolled here. It reached four hundred li east to North Wuluhuke, eight hundred sixty li south to seaside Tieshan, three hundred sixty li west to Wangping County's estuary, and two hundred seventy li north to Yilou County and the Fan River. East, west, and south faced the sea. The Liao River left the northeast pass as the Fan River, ran southwest as the great mouth, and entered the sea; the Dongliang River descended west from the eastern hills, united with the Hun as the small mouth, and with the Liao reached the sea—also Crown Prince River or Daliang River; the Hun lay between the Dongliang and Fan rivers; the Sha River ran northwest from the southeast hills through Gai Prefecture to the sea. There were the Pu River; the Qing River; and the Ni River, also Taro Marsh from the taro grasses along its course; Imperial Encampment Mountain: Tang Taizong campaigned against Goryeo, encamped on the summit for days, and carved a merit stele—folk called it Hand Mountain for palm-shaped marks on the flat rock; an inexhaustible spring rose within. Mingwang Mountain and Baishi Mountain—also Heng Mountain—lay nearby. In Tianxian year 13 Nanjing became the Eastern Capital and the prefecture was named Liaoyang.

Collation Notes
175
First note: from Eastern Capital Liaoyang Prefecture through "Central Capital Xiande Prefecture," the phrase "originally Chaoxian territory" should, per Shiji 115 and Hanshu 28b, read "originally Yan state territory." This section wrongly identifies Liaoyang with Pyongyang. Per New Tang History 219 Bohai Traditions, Hohan Prefecture was Shangjing Longquan Prefecture, not Pyongyang or Liaoyang.
176
Second note: repairing Liaoyang and founding Dongping precede the Bohai campaign and seizure of Hohan—the sequence is inverted. Likely "formerly" was lost before Shence year 4.
177
Third note: "city named Tianfu"—the Annals place the Hohan-to-Tianfu rename in Tianxian year 1, month 2. Tianfu was not the name given when Dongping became Nanjing.
178
Fourth note: "eighty-seven" prefectures, fu, armies, and cities does not match the list below.
179
Fifth note: "Loufang County"—Hanshu and Hou Hanshu both have Loufang in Lelang Commandery.
180
Sixth note: "Goryeo" was written "Silla" in the original; corrected from Annals Tonghe 3.7 and 10.1.
181
Seventh note: "at Tonghe's end Goryeo surrendered" was misplaced after the Kaitai seizure of Bao and Ding—now reordered.
182
殿
Eighth note: Heduan—Daoguang Commentary cites Yongle Encyclopedia's Herui.
183
殿
Ninth note: "Bohai established the prefecture" was missing; Daoguang edition restored it from Tongkao. The present text follows that addition.
184
Tenth note: Qi River—per Zhao Wanli's collated Yuan Comprehensive Gazetteer (hereafter called the Collated Yuan Comprehensive Gazetteer)〉 Volume 2 lists Water. The character Qi is erroneous.
185
殿
Eleventh note: Dongnai County—Daoguang Commentary argues Han lacked Dongnai; likely a garble of Hou Hanshu's Dong and Buer counties. Suoyin suggests Tang's tributary Daina Prefecture.
186
Twelfth note: Suoyin observes that relocating Suibin Prefecture households means it is not the original territory.
187
Thirteenth note: Qian Prefecture's Tonghe year 3—Annals place it in Qianheng year 4, month 11.
188
Fourteenth note: Xuan should read Yi. This is Yi Prefecture of Zhongjing Circuit. Subordinate Kaiyi County matches Jin History; this book's Zhongjing Yi entry reads Wenyi.
189
Fifteenth note: "Han Gongsun Du held it"—context requires "late Han."
190
Sixteenth note: Yuancheng appears as Lücheng in the Chong Prefecture entry above.
191
殿
Seventeenth note: Daoguang Commentary cites Yuan Comprehensive Gazetteer—Bohai's Dingli Prefecture oversaw nine counties, all abolished.
192
Eighteenth note: "Yongxing Palace" lacked palace, restored from Barracks and Guards Treatise, upper.
193
Nineteenth note: Bei prefecture appears as Bi in New Tang History 219.
194
Twentieth note: Qi was written with the "chess" graph; corrected from Barracks and Guards and Jin History.
195
Twenty-first note: Shengzong's rename followed Jingzong's Baoning era. Baoning year 7 already added households and a military commission; Shengzong then renamed it Tong Prefecture.
196
Twenty-second note: Qiangshuai County is Qiangshi in Jin History.
197
Twenty-third note: Bohai's Xie Prefecture governed Xie and Gao, per New Tang History 219.
198
Twenty-fourth note: Haoli appears as Hao in Annals Kaitai 8.10.
199
使使
Twenty-fifth note: Officials Treatise 4 agrees on Xin Prefecture Zhangsheng Army military commissioner. Juan 91 Yelü Pulidu rose to Zhangsheng Army commissioner in Taiping; Da'an year 8 names Yelü Nieli. Ying Prefecture shares Xin's army title but is a cishi prefecture, not a circuit seat. Officials Treatise 4 classifies Ying among cishi prefectures. Princes Table and Xiao Yang'a also mention Zhangxin Army; Jin History has Zhangxin at Xin Prefecture.
200
沿
Twenty-sixth note: Annals Taiping 4.2 renamed Yazi River Hunton River, yet Yazi River remained in use; Yelü Yan records Zhongxi walling between the two waters in Qingning 4.
201
Twenty-seventh note: "Deployment Office" was written "affairs"; corrected from context and parallel treatises. Corrected from Military Treatise, Barracks and Guards, and Officials Treatise 2.
202
Twenty-eighth note: Anding Prefecture was Anbian in Annals Tianxian 1.3.
203
Twenty-ninth note: Jin History lists Fu as cishi with Liao Huaiyuan Army military commissioner.
204
使使 使
Thirtieth note: Annals Tonghe 28.11 names Ma Baoyou An regional training commissioner; Yelü Helu Saogu and Officials Treatise 4 agree. Only State Chronicles 22 lists An as a cishi prefecture. Perhaps it began as cishi and was later raised to regional training. Juan 105 Xiao Wen Traditions: "Father Zhishan was An Prefecture defense commissioner. He held civil office during Dakang and Shouchang.
