Everything about Fanyang totally explained
Fanyang (trad. ch.: 范陽, also called :
Youzhou 幽州 for administrative purposes, and
Ji 薊 or
Yānjīng 燕京 when the Capital of the
Yan state) was an ancient city in Northern
China, somewhere around the modern-day city of
Beijing.
As Ji and Yanjing
Fanyang was founded during the
Warring States Period by the state of Yan, who then made it their capital city.
As Fanyang
After the conquest of the Yan by the
Qin, the city was made the capital of
Guangyang Province (Traditional Chinese: 廣陽郡). During the
Han Dynasty, the city was transferred to as the capital of
Yuyang Province (Traditional Chinese: 漁陽郡).
Fanyang was the administrative center of
Youzhou in the Eastern Han. Due to its proximity to the northern border of the Han, the city was constantly attacked by barbarian tribes. During the
Yellow Turban Rebellion, the city itself was also assaulted.
In
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the commander of Fanyang at the time was
Liu Yan, better known as the governor of
Yizhou Province a few years later. After Liu Yan's reposting,
Liu Yu became the commander of Yizhou. His subordinate,
Gongsun Zan, eventually attacked Youzhou and killed Liu Yu, becoming the commander of Fanyang.
During the
Jin and the
Tang Dynasties, Fanyang was an important military garrison and a commerce hub.
An Lushan began his
revolt in Fanyang, and when he became the Emperor of the Greater Yan, Fanyang was designated its capital.
