Let's first talk about these places, Zhuojun, Guangyang, Daijun, Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong, Xuantu, Lelang, Liaodong vassal state... These are all place names from ancient times.
Think about it, where are all these places? They don't match up directly on today's maps. Anyway, they are all in the north, close to the border areas, and the jurisdiction back then was much larger than it is now. These places, one after another, like a necklace, were all important strategic locations at that time. Just imagine, the borders were quite turbulent back then, so these places were even more important.
Some of these places have powerful-sounding names, like Liaodong and Liaoxi, which clearly suggest they are near the Liao River basin, with vast lands and a sparse population, ideal for horse breeding and grazing. And Xuantu, the name has a mysterious ring to it, evoking a sense of distance, as if it were a wild land. Lelang sounds like a coastal area, likely by the sea, with likely good scenery, but it could also be dangerous. As for Zhuojun, Guangyang, Daijun, Shanggu, Yuyang, and Youbeiping, these names feel more relatable, probably bustling counties, with larger populations and serving as important agricultural and commercial hubs. Liaodong vassal state, just by the name you can tell it's a vassal state, with a special status, likely under the jurisdiction of the dynasty from the Central Plains.
In short, these places were all important regions in ancient times, closely related to politics, economy, and military affairs at that time. If you want to know their specific locations, you'll have to check historical maps and compare them with current geographical locations. Anyway, these place names have a strong sense of history, sparking a curiosity to discover the stories behind them.
