What is the ancient name of Nanyang?

Nanyang was called Wan in ancient times. Nanyang City is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Henan Province, located in Nanyang Basin, surrounded by mountains on three sides. The word "Wan" reflects the basin landform of Nanyang, so it is named because it is located in Funiu Shan Zhinan, north of Hanshui River. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, after occupying this fertile land with convenient rivers, the State of Chu established Wan Yi here as a base to seize the Central Plains. Wan's name is from then on.

The domain names of Wan You have evolved into Wancheng, Wanxian, Wanzhou and Shangwan. Today, Nanyang City and Wancheng District use Wancheng as their customary abbreviation. Nanyang is the first historical and cultural city named after the State Council, located in the birthplace of the Chinese nation, with a long history, splendid culture, beautiful mountains and rivers and rich cultural and natural landscapes.

Nanyang City now governs: 2 districts, 10 counties and 1 0 county-level cities, namely Wancheng District, Wolong District, dengzhou city, nanzhao county, zhenping county, neixiang county, Xichuan County, Xinye County, tanghe county, Tongbai County, Fangcheng County, Xixia County and Sheqi County.
