有东阳城。呂氏春秋夏孔甲遊田於東陽萯山。左傳哀八年「克東陽」。襄十九年城武城，杜預曰南城縣。哀十四年司馬牛葬丘輿，杜預曰縣西北有輿城。 Dongyang city was listed in the same entry. The Lüshi chunqiu says Xia Kong Jia hunted at Mount Fushan in Dongyang; the Zuo Tradition records in Duke Ai 8 that someone “captured Dongyang.” For the walling of Wucheng in Duke Xiang 19, Du Yu identifies the place as Nancheng county, and for Sima Niu's burial at Qiuyu in Duke Ai 14, he notes Yu city northwest of the county.
