History

During the late Tang and early Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Era, Quyang made up part of the largely independent domain of the Yiwu. The tomb of Wang Chuzhiwhose funerary art illustrates the elite music of the timewas rediscovered in Lingshan's Xiyanchuan Village in 1980, looted in 1994, and excavated in 1995. Under the Yuan, its seat also served as the center of Heng Prefecture, originally based in Zhengding County north of central Shijiazhuang, and was similarly known as Hengzhou. The name is maintained by one of the county's towns.
