Historical evolution

In the eighth year of King Cheng of Zhou Dynasty (1007 BC), Tang Dynasty (now northwest of Yicheng County, Shanxi Province) was destroyed, and its people were moved to Du (now in the area of Ducheng village, Yanta District), and Du Bo kingdom was established. In the 43rd year of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty (785 BC), Du Bo was killed. After King Ping moved to the East, he gave the land of Du to Qin.

In the 7th year of King Huan of Zhou Dynasty (713 BC), Qin destroyed dangdu, and in the 11th year of Duke Wu of Qin Dynasty (the 10th year of King Zhuang of Zhou Dynasty, 687 BC), "Chu County Du" was one of the earliest counties in the transition period from enfeoffment system to County system.
