Where is Zhao Yun’s hometown?

Zhao Yun’s hometown is Zhengding, Hebei Province.

Zhao Yun, courtesy name Zilong, was born in Zhending, Changshan (now Zhengding, Hebei Province). Eight feet long and majestic in appearance, he was a famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the warlords fought in a melee. Zhao Yun was elected by his county and led Yi Cong to join the White Horse General Gongsun Zan. During this period, he met Liu Bei, a relative of the Han Dynasty, but soon after, Zhao Yun left because of the death of his brother. About seven years after Zhao Yun left Gongsun Zan, he met Liu Bei in Yecheng and followed Liu Bei from then on.

Zhao Yun has followed Liu Bei for nearly thirty years. He has participated in the Battle of Bowangpo, the Battle of Changbanpo, and the Battle of Jiangnan. He has personally commanded the Battle of Ruchuan, the Battle of Han River, and the Battle of Jigu. All achieved very good results. In addition to fighting everywhere, Zhao Yun also successively served as the governor of Guiyang as a partial general, as the governor of Guiyang as the general of the Liuying army, as the general of the Yi army as the governor of Jiangzhou.

In addition, Zhao Yun cited the story of Huo Qubing to persuade Liu Bei to return the fields and houses to the people when he was pacifying Yizhou. He also advised Liu Bei not to attack Wu after Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were killed. He was praised as a minister by later generations. The outstanding Confucian general was even considered a perfect figure during the Three Kingdoms period.

On July 5, the Propaganda Department of Lincheng County Party Committee told the media: "Zhao Yun is indeed from Chengdi, Lincheng County, Hebei Province."

Lincheng angered Zhengding. Zhengding County has been calling itself "Zhao Yun's hometown" for many years. Zhang Guoqing, deputy director of the county's cultural relics and tourism bureau, responded that he would never give up "Zhao Yun's hometown". As the saying goes, "It's easy to shake a mountain, but it's hard to shake Zhao Yun's hometown!"

On September 4, the Zhengding County Party Committee and the county government media "Zhengding Style" published a fierce editorial saying that Lincheng County "blocked doors and insulted people, went too far and bullied others, violating the insurmountable rule of "Zhao Yun's hometown" Bottom line! If this business card of Shijiazhuang, which has a lot of historical records, is ignored because of surrender, or because of the deception that "it is just a legend", then this generation will deceive themselves.

People will be ashamed of their ancestors, shameless of the present, and bring disaster to future generations. "This editorial is an authoritative opinion expressed on behalf of the county party committee and the county government on major issues. This is no joke.

Not only did they quarrel with their mouths, they also did it with their hands.

Starting this year, Lincheng County will launch the "Zhao Yun Cultural Theme Park" project, striving to build Zhao Yun's former residence and Zhao Yun's hometown in the west of Chengdi Village, Lincheng County, with Zhao Yun's tomb as the center in three to five years. Archways, stele pavilions, statues, family temples, horse washing (drinking) ponds, cemeteries and other buildings cover an area of ??800 acres, with a total investment of more than 70 million yuan.

Zhengding County did it earlier and more.
