Map Description

Dong Commandery was an ancient Chinese administrative district. It was established in the fifth year of King Zheng of Qin's reign (242 BCE), with its seat at Puyang. Its territory roughly covered present-day northeastern Henan Province and western Shandong Province. The evolution of Dong Commandery during the Eastern Han period primarily involved two significant administrative adjustments:

Qin and Han Historical Development Dong Commandery was initially established by the Qin Dynasty, with its seat located at present-day Puyang, Henan, covering areas of modern northeastern Henan and western Shandong. The Western Han Dynasty continued the commandery-county system. Dong Commandery belonged to the Yan Province Inspectorate, governed 22 counties, and its seat remained at Puyang.

Eastern Han Adjustments During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Commandery administered 15 counties. Its seat was relocated to Huatai City, east of Hua County (the old urban area of present-day Hua County). This adjustment reflected the Eastern Han trend of strengthening central authority by moving the administrative seat to enhance control over the region.

Related Evolution of the State of Qi The State of Qi implemented a feudal system during the Warring States period, retaining the Five Capitals system in the late Warring States period. After Qin conquered Qi, it implemented the commandery-county system, dividing the Qi territory into the three principalities of Qi, Jiaodong, and Jibei. By the Eastern Han period, the former territory of the State of Qi had been fully incorporated into the commandery-county system.
