History
• Illustration — Map including Shuo County (labeled 朔縣 SHUO-HSIEN (Shohsien) (walled)) (AMS, 1955) Shuocheng is the site of the ancient Chinese frontier post of Mayi and its territory was previously organized as the Mayi County of Yanmen Commandery. This is the birthplace of Zhang Liao. Yinguan, in present-day Shuocheng District's Xiaguancheng Village, was the seat of another county and of all of Yanmen Commandery during the Eastern Han.
