Hebei
Hebei (河北, 'North of the River) is a territory in northeast China. It was a circuit during the Tang dynasty[1][2] while in the present-day, it is a province of the People's Republic of China.[3]
As a Tang circuit, it was subdivided into twenty-four commanderies (郡).[4][5] also known as prefectures (府).[2] The most significant prefecture was Youzhou, which was centred on the major city of Fanyang and became a military district under the rule of a semi-autonomous military governor known as a jiedushi. Other notable Hebei commanderies were Changshan, whose local government under the Yan family rallied early resistance against the An Lushan Rebellion, and Qinghe, the hometown of the Hidden One Li E.[4][6]
Because Fanyang was the base of jiedushi An Lushan, Hebei naturally became the first site of war when he rose in rebellion against the Tang in late 755.[4]
