Yongchang County
Yongchang County () is a county located in the southern half of the prefecture-level city of Jinchang in north-central Gansu province, China, bordering Qinghai to the south. It has been associated with the historical Liqian and Fanhe counties. The village of Zhelaizhai, located in Jiaojiazhuang township, has been the subject of international academic and media attention for its potential connection to Sino-Roman relations. History The ancient Northern Silk Road passes through Yongchang County; numerous Han envoys were sent west along this trackway, some parties exceeding 100 members, late in the first millennium BC. The Han dynasty sent one mission to Parthia, which was reciprocated around 100 BC: Roman emissaries were captured by the Chinese in 30 BC along the Silk Road at Yongchang. At various times during the 20th century and early 21st century, the county has entered the sight of media because some of the inhabitants of Jiaojiazhuang township's Liqian village () (Zhelaizh ...

Emperor Yuan Of Jin
Emperor Yuan of Jin (; 276 – 3 January 323), personal name Sima Rui (司馬睿), courtesy name Jingwen (景文), was an emperor of the Jin dynasty and the first emperor of the Eastern Jin. His reign saw the steady gradual loss of Jin territory in the north, but entrenchment of Jin authority south of the Huai River and east of the Three Gorges. For generations Jin was not seriously threatened by the Wu Hu kingdoms to the north. Early career Sima Rui was born in 276 in the then Jin capital Luoyang, as the son of Sima Jin () the Prince of Langya and his wife Princess Xiahou Guangji (). (The '' Book of Wei'' claimed that he was not Prince Jin's biological son but the product of an affair that Princess Xiahou had with the general Niu Jin,'' Book of Wei'', vol. 96. but provided no real evidence, and the claim should be considered suspect.) His father died in 290, and he became the Prince of Langya. The ''Book of Jin'' referred to him as steady and dexterious, personality-wise. ...

Wuwei, Gansu
