History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

Bazhong became a prefecture-level city in 1993. Its history goes back further; during the Xia and Shang dynasties, it was purportedly a vassal territory of Liang State. In the Spring and Autumn period, it was called Bazi. In the Qin and Western Han dynasties it was called Ba County. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, around the year 100 CE, this was changed to Hanchang County. One hundred years later it reverted to Baxi County. Since then it has usually either been called Liang County or Yi County.
