Overview
Xiangyang Commandery was an administrative commandery in ancient China.[2] It was established in 208, during the Eastern Han, after Cao Cao pacified Jing Province. Its seat was Xiangyang County, near present-day Xiangcheng District in Xiangyang, Hubei. It continued through the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties periods, covering areas around the middle Han River, before being reorganized as a province (zhou).
