Nanfeng

In the second year of Wu Taiping of the Three Kingdoms (257), the southern part of Nancheng County was split and incorporated as Feng County, but to differentiate it from Feng County, Jiangsu, it was named Nanfeng County, Nan meaning south. In the 19th year of Yuan Zhiyuan (1282), Nanfeng County was promoted to Nanfeng Prefecture, controlled directly under Jiangxi Province. In the third year of Ming Hongwu (1370), Nanfeng county was restored under the Jianchang House. In the early years of the Republic of China, the county was part of Yuzhang Subdistrict. In 1927, Yuzhang was abolished, and it was transferred to the Seventh District of Jiangxi Province, seated in Qincheng Town. After 1949, it was transferred to the jurisdiction of Fuzhou Prefecture.
