Poyang County is a county under the administration of Shangrao city in the northeast of Jiangxi Province of the People's Republic of China,bordering Anhui Province to the north. It is located on the eastern side of Lake Poyang.
The area was known as Po under the Chu state during the Warring States period. Under the Qin,the area was organized as Poyang County (番 陽 縣) and placed under the administration of Jiujiang. Po was entrusted to the Yue leader Wu Rui. During the collapse of Qin,he allied first with Xiang Yu and then with Liu Bei,becoming successively the king of Hengshan and then Changsha. Under the Han,the area was known as Poyang and placed under the administration of Yuzhang. It kept the same name but changed its first character to the present one under the Western Han. [1]
During Eastern Han,the Yangtze River flowed farther north and Poyang constituted a wide and fertile lowland. Around AD 400,the Yangtze changed its course to the south and flooded the district which has ever since comprised Poyang Lake. Many of its people fled as refugees into neighboring districts.
In 1957,the name of the county was changed to Boyang County,but in December 2003 the original name was restored. [2] On May 27,2014,Poyang County was designated as directly-controlled county by the provincial government as a part of a pilot program in Jiangxi Province.
Poyang County administers 14 towns and 20 rural townships. The county seat is the town of Poyang.[ citation needed ] Around 1998 the county had approximately 1 million people. [3]
At present,Yanling County has 14 towns and 15 townships. [7]
