When he moved to the Five Dynasties, the tomb of Zhang Kun, king of Ling'an, was in the Qingshan mountain in the southeast of the county. Luoshan was negative for the city, and the city was shaped like "Luoshi spitting meat", so the county was called Luocheng, or "Luocheng" for short. When the county was established, there were three townships, namely Chongwu, Chongshan and Chengshan, with 16 Li, including Taikang, Shoujie, Lixing, Min'an, pingkang, Guihua, Xiangfu, Zunxian, Chongde and Minsu, and a total of 66 shops.
