Jingzhao
Jingzhao (Chinese: 京兆) was a historical region centered on the ancient Chinese capital of Chang'an.
Han dynasty
In early Han dynasty, the governor of the capital Chang'an and its vicinities was known as You Neishi (右內史), and the region was also known by the same name. In 104 BC, the eastern half of You Neishi was changed to Jingzhao Yin (京兆尹, "Intendant of the Capital"), while the western half became You Fufeng. The region included 12 counties: Chang'an (長安), Xinfeng (新豐), Chuansikong (船司空), Lantian (藍田), Huayin (華陰), Zheng (鄭), Hu (湖), Xiagui (下邽), Nanling (南陵), Fengming (奉明), Baling (霸陵) and Duling (杜陵). In 2 AD, the population was 682,468, in 195,702 households.[1] By the end of the Han dynasty, Nanling, Fengming and Chuansikong counties were abolished and Hu and Huayin became part of Hongnong Commandery, while 5 new counties – Changling (長陵), Yangling (陽陵), Shangluo (上雒), Shang (商縣), and Yinpan (陰盤) – were added from other commanderies.[2]
