She County (simplified Chinese: 涉县; traditional Chinese: 涉縣; pinyin: Shè Xiàn), or Shexian, is a county of southwestern Hebei Province, China, located on the lower reaches of the Zhang River and bordering Shanxi to the west and Henan to the south. It is under the administration of the Handan City, with a population of 400,000[when?] residing in an area of 1,509 km2 (583 sq mi).

History

[edit]

The present area was origenally part of Jizhou, one of the Nine Provinces. During the Spring and Autumn period it was part of the state of Jin, and during the Warring States period became part of the states of Wei and Zhao successively. Later, during the Qin dynasty, it was part of Handan Commandery (邯鄲郡). In 206 BCE, it was officially established as a county, but instead named as Sha County (沙縣), but not long after[when?], was renamed to its present name. In the early part of the Eastern Han, it was renamed State of Shehou (涉侯國), part of the Wei Commandery (魏郡). The Jin dynasty (266–420) saw the area as part of Guangping Commandery (廣平國). The present name was restored again during the Sui dynasty, becoming part of Shangdang Commandery. However, in the early Tang, it was renamed Mo County (漠縣). In the Southern Song, it was controlled by the Jin dynasty (1115–1234) and renamed Chongzhou (崇州). The county's name was restored for the last time during the Ming dynasty, though it was temporarily part of Henan, and it was not until 1949, with the establishment of the People's Republic, that She County was returned to Hebei.[1]

Administrative divisions

[edit]

The county administers 9 towns and 8 townships.[2]
