Historical evolution

The name of "Rucheng" began in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the second year of emperor Mu's Shengping (359), Rucheng County was divided into Jinning County and belonged to Guiyang County.

During the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, Rucheng was the border area of Southern Chu. In the Qin Dynasty, it belonged to Changsha County. In the fifth year of Gaozu (202 BC) of the Western Han Dynasty, Guiyang County was established in the south of Changsha, and Rucheng was located in Chen County of Guiyang County. In the first year of Yonghe (136), Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, CHENXIAN was established as Hanning County, and Rucheng as Hanning County of Guiyang County. During the Three Kingdoms period, Hanning county was changed into Yang'an County, and Rucheng County was Yang'an county. In the early Western Jin Dynasty, Yang'an county was renamed Jinning County, and Rucheng belonged to Jinning County.

In 358, the second year of emperor mu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was divided into Jinning County and Rucheng County, which is now under the jurisdiction of Rucheng County and Guidong County. It belongs to Guiyang County. The name of Rucheng County can be found in historical records. In 559, the third year of Yongding reign of emperor Chen Wu of the Southern Dynasty, Rucheng County was abolished and Luyang county was established. In the first year of Tianjia (560), Emperor Chen Wendi established Luyang county. In 589, the ninth year of kaihuang of Sui Dynasty, Luyang county was abolished, and Luyang county was subordinate to Chenzhou. Tang Xuanzong Tianbao first year (742), renamed Yichang County, the county moved to chengtouzhai near the jurisdiction of today's Rucheng, Guidong County, belongs to Guiyang County. In 925, the third year of Tongguang reign of Zhuangzong in the late Tang Dynasty, due to avoiding the taboo of Li Guochang, the grandfather of Zhuangzong Li cunying, Chu Ma Tzu changed Yichang county to Chenyi County, which still belongs to Chenzhou. In 976, Chenyi county was changed to Guiyang County to avoid Zhao Guangyi's taboo. Taiping Xingguo three years (978), the county moved to this site. In 1211, the fourth year of Jiading in Song Dynasty, the Lingling and Yicheng townships of Guiyang County were set up in Guidong County.

He avoided the word "Gui" and once changed Guiyang County into Yichang county. In February of the following year (1679), Wu Sangui died and was defeated. He was renamed Guiyang County.

In 1913, Chenzhou and Guiyang were abolished because of the withdrawal of the state and the establishment of roads. The counties of the two states were unified under the jurisdiction of Hengyang road. The original Guiyang state was changed into Guiyang County. In order to avoid the same name of the two counties, the county was renamed Rucheng County, belonging to Hengyang road. In the seventh year of the Republic of China, Rucheng County was abandoned and directly under the jurisdiction of Hunan Province; in the 26th year of the Republic of China, Rucheng County was the eighth administrative supervision district of Hunan Province; in the 29th year of the Republic of China, Rucheng County was the third administrative supervision district of Hunan Province.
