history

During the spring and autumn annals (722–481 BC), the area of Luzhou belonged to the Ba tribal union until it was in 316 BC. BC, during the Warring States Period , was conquered by Qin State . In the same year King Huiwen established the Ba (巴郡, Bājùn ) commandant's office there , to which today's Jiangyang district belonged. In 151 BC Jiangyang County was established there during the Western Han Dynasty . The name "Luzhou" appears for the first time at the beginning of the Liang Dynasty , when Emperor Xiao Yan established prefectures (州, zhōu ) across the country between 535 and 546 . When the Mongols invaded today's Sichuan towards the end of the Southern Song Dynasty (1127–1279), the seat of government in Lu Prefecture was relocated to Hejiang County , then to Jiang'an , bordering southwest of the city , and then back to Hejiang until the prefecture finally fell in 1277 after 34 years of defensive fighting. After the Ming dynasty came to power in 1368, Luzhou was directly subordinated to Sichuan Province in 1373, a status that has in principle been maintained to this day. Only during the Republic period from 1913 to 1949, Luzhou was demoted to county for several decades.
