西京大同府，陶唐冀州之域。 虞分并州。 夏復屬冀州。 周《職方》，正北曰并州。 戰國屬趙，武靈王始置雲中郡。 秦屬代王國，後為平城縣。 魏屬新興郡。 晉仍屬雁門。 劉琨表封猗盧為代王，都平城。 元魏道武於此遂建都邑。 孝文帝改為司州牧，置代尹，遷都洛邑，改萬年，又置恒州。 高齊文宣帝廢州為恒安鎮，今謂之東城，尋復恒州。 周復恒安鎮，改朔州。 隋仍為鎮。 唐武德四年置北恒州，七年廢。 貞觀十四年，移雲中定襄縣於此。 永淳元年，默啜為民患，移民朔州。 開元十八年，置雲州。 天寶元年，改雲中郡。 乾元元年曰雲州。 乾符三年，大同軍節度使李國昌子克用為雲中守捉使，殺防禦使，據州以聞。 僖宗赦克用，以國昌為大同軍防禦使，不受命。 廣明元年，李琢攻國昌，國昌兵敗，與克用奔北地。 黃巢入京師，詔發代北軍，尋赦國昌，使討賊。 克用率三萬五千騎而南，收京師功第一，國昌封隴西郡王。 國昌卒，克用取雲州。 既而所向失利，乃卑詞厚禮，與太祖會於雲州之東城，謀大舉兵攻梁，不果。 克用子存勖滅梁，是為唐莊宗。 同光三年，復以雲州為大同軍節度使。 晉高祖代唐，以契丹有援立功，割山前、代北地為賂，大同來屬，因建西京。 敵樓、棚櫓具。 廣袤二十里。 門，東曰迎春，南曰朝陽，西曰定西，北曰拱極。 元魏宮垣占城之北面，雙闕尚在。 遼既建都，用為重地，非親王不得主之。 清寧八年建華巖寺，奉安諸帝石像、銅像。 又有天王寺、留守司衙，南曰西省。 北門之東曰大同府，北門之西曰大同驛。 初為大同軍節度，重熙十三年升為西京，府曰大同。 統州二、縣七：
Datong Prefecture at the Western Capital was ancient Ji territory under Yao. Shun assigned it to Bing Province. Under Xia it returned to Ji Province. The Zhou Offices of Region name the north Bing Province. In the Warring States era it lay in Zhao; King Wuling of Zhao first created Yunzhong Commandery. Qin placed it in the princely kingdom of Dai; later it was Pingcheng County. Under Wei it fell within Xinxing Commandery. Under Jin it remained in Yanmen. Liu Kun petitioned to enfeoff Yilu as Prince of Dai with his seat at Pingcheng. Northern Wei's Emperor Daowu founded his capital here. Emperor Xiaowen made it Sizhou pastoral domain, appointed a Dai intendant, relocated the capital to Luoyang, renamed the seat Wannian, and added Heng Prefecture. Northern Qi Emperor Wenxuan reduced the prefecture to Heng'an Fort—today's Eastern City—then restored Heng Prefecture. Zhou reinstated Heng'an Fort as Shuo Prefecture. Under Sui it remained a fortified post. Tang Wude year 4 set up Northern Heng Prefecture; in year 7 it was abolished. In Zhenguan year 14 Dingxiang County from Yunzhong was moved here. In Yongchun year 1 Mochuo's raids harried the people, and the populace was relocated to Shuo. Kaiyuan year 18 created Yun Prefecture. Tianbao year 1 it became Yunzhong Commandery. In Qianyuan year 1 it reverted to the name Yun Prefecture. In Qianfu year 3 Li Guochang's son Keyong, of the Datong Army command, was Yunzhong defense commissioner; he slew the defense envoy, seized the prefecture, and sent word to court. Emperor Xizong amnestied Keyong and appointed Guochang Datong Army defense envoy, but Guochang refused the order. In Guangming year 1 Li Zhuo struck Guochang; defeated, Guochang fled north with Keyong. When Huang Chao took the capital, court ordered the Dai-north armies mobilized and soon pardoned Guochang to campaign against the rebels. Keyong marched south with thirty-five thousand horsemen; his service in retaking the capital ranked first, and Guochang was made Prince of Longxi Commandery. After Guochang died, Keyong seized Yun Prefecture. When his campaigns faltered, Keyong sent humble envoys and lavish gifts to meet the Taizu at Yun Prefecture's Eastern City and plot a major strike against Liang—but the plan never materialized. Keyong's son Cunxu overthrew Liang and became Tang Emperor Zhuangzong. In Tongguang year 3 Yun Prefecture was again the headquarters of the Datong Army command. When Jin Gaozu supplanted Tang he rewarded Khitan aid by ceding the mountain-front and northern Dai territories; Datong passed to Liao and the Western Capital was founded. Watchtowers and stockades were fully built. The city measured twenty li on each side. Its gates were Yingchun to the east, Chaoyang to the south, Dingxi to the west, and Gongji to the north. Northern Wei palace ramparts took up the north side of the city; the paired gate towers remain. After Liao made this a capital seat it became a place of high importance—only princes of the blood could hold it. Qingning year 8 saw Huayan Temple erected to house stone and bronze imperial images. The city also held Tianwang Temple and the resident commissioner's yamen; the southern quarter was called the Western Secretariat. East of the North Gate lay Datong Prefecture; west of it lay Datong Post Station. It began as the Datong Army headquarters; in Chongxi year 13 it was promoted to Western Capital with Datong as the prefectural seat. It administered two sub-prefectures and seven counties:
