Extended information

Source of place names:

At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, Zhao Tuo (from Zhending, Hebei Province) was the magistrate of Longchuan County. In 195 BC (the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty) In the twelfth year of the 12th year), Zhao Tuo led his troops to the foot of Wuhua Mountain (that is, outside the north gate of today's Huacheng) for hunting. It happened that Emperor Gaozu sent the Han envoy Lu Jia to make Zhao Tuo the King of South Vietnam. Zhao Tuo wanted to worship the Han Dynasty and grant the title. He was granted the title of King of Nanyue and built a platform at the foot of Wuhua Mountain, named Changle Platform.

In the future, it will be established as Changle Town based on population reproduction. When the county was established in the fourth year of Xining in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was named Changle County because of the county seat.
