Shunping County is a rural county in the west-central part of Hebei province, China.[1] It is under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Baoding and lies to the west of its urban core.

History

[edit]

Under the Han, Shunping was known as Quni.[2] It was a base for Chen Xi's general Wang Huang (t , s , Wáng Huáng) in his short-lived rebellion and the site of the defeat and executions of Wang and Hou Chang (, Hóu Chǎng) by Guan Ying and other imperial forces in 196 BC.

It was renamed Shunping under Wang Mang's short-lived Xin dynasty.[citation needed]
