In the 12th year of Qinggong of Jin Dynasty (514 BC), Qi Ying, the grandson of Qi Xi, came into contact with FA, and Wei Xianzi (Shu), a senior official, was in charge of government affairs. He divided Qi's land into seven cities, including Wu, Qi, Pingling, gengyang, tushui, Mashou and Yu. According to research, Jin Yuyi is the area of today's Dayu. During the Warring States period, part of Jinyang city set langmeng in the east of Huangzhai village, Huangzhai Town, as Zhaoyi. According to the summary of Fang Yu, langmeng County, commonly known as huangtouzhai, is 70 Li north of Taiyuan. Huangtouzhai is now Huangzhai village, the site still exists. After the unification of the six states, the Qin Dynasty implemented the system of prefectures and counties. Yu county was restored in the Western Han Dynasty. In the early Han Dynasty, the 21 counties of Taiyuan county and Yanmen county were changed to Korea, and later to the dynastic state.

During this period, Fenyang county was abandoned. Langdiao county and Yu County belong to Taiyuan state and Taiyuan County successively.

At the end of Han Dynasty, twenty years after Jian'an (215), the original Yangqu county (in today's Dingxiang County) was abandoned. Cao Cao moved to Yangqu County, where people set up a new Yangqu county. According to the dictionary of ancient and modern place names in China, Yangqu town is "the ancient governance of Yangqu in Han Dynasty".

In the 16th year (596), he changed his name to Fenyang county and divided it into Yu County. At the beginning of Daye, Yu county was abandoned and merged into Fenyang county. At the end of Daye, Fenyang county was changed into Yangzhi county and Mujing city was transferred. Mujing city is now Guxian village of donghuangshui town.
