Historical evolution

According to historical records, during the Xia and Shang Dynasties, parts of Yulin City (Shenmu, Fugu, Jiaxian, etc.) were in the territory of Yongzhai people.

The Zhou Dynasty was a part of Baizhai in Yongzhou.

The spring and Autumn period was Jin, the Warring States period was Wei, and the Qin Dynasty was Shangjun after the unification of the six states.

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Hun helianheng established Daxia state in Tongwancheng (now baichengzi in Jingbian).

In 427 A.D., the Northern Wei Dynasty destroyed Daxia and established Tongwan town. In 488 A.D., xiazhou was established.

In the third year of kaihuang (583 A.D.), there were still four prefectures, namely Xia (governing WAN), Chang (governing CHANGZE, now in the border of Jing), Sui (governing Longquan, now in Suide County), and Yin (governing Rulin, now in Mizhi); in the first year of Daye (605 A.D.), Suizhou was renamed Shangzhou; in the third year, the state system was abolished, and two prefectures, Shuofang and Diaoyin, were established.

At the end of Sui Dynasty and the beginning of Tang Dynasty, it was occupied by Liang Shidu, a local powerful family, who claimed to be the kingdom of Liang and arrogated the throne of emperor.

In the second year of Zhenguan, all the divisions were destroyed. In the Tang Dynasty, three prefectures, Yin, Sui and Xia, were established, all under the jurisdiction of guanneidao. In 724 ad, Linzhou (now shenmuyang city) was added to the northeast of Yulin. In the first year of Tianbao (742 AD), Shangjun (now Suide), Yinzhou Jun (now dangcha), Shuofang Jun (now baichengzi) and Xinqin Jun (now Yangcheng) were established. In the first year of Qianyuan (758 AD), the county was removed and four prefectures, Sui, Xia, yin and Lin, were established. In 820 A.D., Yuzhou government moved from etoke banner of Inner Mongolia to Jinding border. In the later Tang Dynasty, Li Cunxu, the emperor of Zhuangzi, promoted Fugu County to the state (now Fugu).

During the Five Dynasties, there were xiazhou (lingshuofang, Dejing and ningshuo counties, all within the current Jing border), Yinzhou (lingzhenxiang, Kaiguang and Rulin counties, in today's Mizhi and Jiaxian counties), Linzhou (lingxinqin, liangu and Yincheng, in today's Shenmu), Fuzhou (today's Fugu), Suizhou (lingsuide, Longquan, Yanfu, Chengping and Dabin counties, in today's Suide, Qingjian and Dabin) Wubao, Zizhou).

In 1471 A.D., Yulin guard was set up along the Great Wall. In 1505 A.D., East Road Shenmu road was set up, leading to Jiazhou, Fugu and Shenmu counties. Middle road Yulin road led to Suide, Mizhi, Qingjian and Wubao counties. West Road Jingbian road led to Baoan (jinzhidan), Anding (jinzichang) and Ansai counties, including Ding and Anshan counties in Yulin city Jing and Heng counties.
