A Research on the Relocation of Lewen's Walled City
In the early Tang Dynasty,the seat of Lewen County(乐温县)was firstly set up at Linfeng,which located in the hills alongside the lower reaches of the Longxi River.Yong'an's seat,on the other hand,was at Yangjiao Bao by the mouth of the river.The administrative center of Lewen County was relocated to the riverside street close to the abandoned Yong'an's seat after the two counties merged in the late Kaiyuan period,and remained until the Jiaqing's reign in Qing Dynasty.The spatial process reflects a functional transfer from inland to port.The misunderstandings regarding the relocation of the country seat,which was believed to have taken place in early Ming Dynasty,may be attributed to the loss of local memory caused by the tremendous geographic and demographic changes since late Southern Song Dynasty.It would be useful for the study of local toponym as well as the revitalization local culture to clarify the historical facts.
