Toponymy

[edit]

Fengnan District was first established as Fengnan County in 1946, when it was carved out of the southern portions of Fengrun County and Luanzhou County.[2] Its name, which literally means "south of Feng", was derived from this.[2]

History

[edit]

During the time of the Shang dynasty, the area of present-day Fengnan District belonged to the state of Guzhu.[2] During the time of the Zhou dynasty, the area was part of the state of Yan.[2] In the Qin dynasty, the area was split between Youbeiping Commandery and Liaoxi Commandery.[2] During the Han dynasty, it was administered by Tuyin County (simplified Chinese: 土垠县; traditional Chinese: 土垠縣) and Changcheng County (simplified Chinese: 昌城县; traditional Chinese: 昌城縣).[2] During the Sui dynasty the area belonged to Lulong County (simplified Chinese: 卢龙县; traditional Chinese: 盧龍縣) and Wuzhong County (simplified Chinese: 无终县; traditional Chinese: 無終縣).[2] During the Tang dynasty, the area belonged to Yutian County (simplified Chinese: 玉田县; traditional Chinese: 玉田縣) and Shicheng County (simplified Chinese: 石城县; traditional Chinese: 石城縣).[2] During the reign of Emperor Zhangzong of the Jin dynasty, the area was placed under the administration of Fengrun County (simplified Chinese: 丰润县; traditional Chinese: 豐潤縣) and Shicheng County.[2] It remained as such until the Ming dynasty, when it was reorganized under Fengrun County and Luanzhou County (simplified Chinese: 滦州县; traditional Chinese: 灤州縣).[2] Fengnan County was finally established as its own administrative division in 1946, when it was carved out of the southern portions of Fengrun County and Luanzhou County.[2]

People's Republic of China

[edit]

In July 1955, Fengnan County was abolished, and merged back into Fengrun County.[2] Fengnan County was re-established in June 1961, and was put under the jurisdiction of Tangshan.[2] Tangshan was upgraded from a prefecture to a prefecture-level city in 1983.[2] On May 5, 1994, Fengnan was reorganized as a county-level city.[2] On February 1, 2002, Fengnan was reorganized from a county-level city to a district.[2]

Geography

[edit]

Fengnan District is located within the prefecture-level city of Tangshan, in the eastern part of Hebei.[1] It is bordered by Fengrun District, Lubei District, Lunan District, Kaiping District and Guye District to the north, the Bohai Sea to the south, Luannan County and Caofeidian District to the east, and the Hangu Administration Zone (Chinese: 汉沽管理区) and Tianjin's Ninghe District to the west.[1]

Fengnan District has a coastline of 23.5 kilometres (14.6 mi) along the Bohai Sea.[1] The district's terrain is largely flat, and generally higher in the northeast and lower in the southwest.[1] The Dou River [zh], the Sha River [zh], and the Mei River (Chinese: 煤河; lit. 'Coal River') run through the district.[1] The Jintang Canal (Chinese: 津唐运河) also runs through Fengnan District.[1]
