Historical evolution

In the Xia Dynasty, the world was divided into Kyushu and Pingding belonged to Jizhou.

In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, Jizhou was divided into Youzhou and Bingzhou, and Pingding County belonged to Bingzhou. During the reign of King Cheng of Zhou Dynasty, the state of Tang was destroyed and his younger brother Shu Yu was granted the land of Tang.
