流域史视角的西汉白狼县地望考

On Bailang County’s Geographic Location in the Western Han Dynasty from the Perspective of Watershed History

白狼属西汉右北平郡,从流域史视角,其地望或在今喀左大城子。流域自然方面,“白狼水”造就“白狼堆”地貌,白狼县可能位于今大凌河两源汇流处。流域交通方面,大城子据域内“要害之处”,符合“通川之道,调立城邑”的国家规划要求。流域政区方面,“白庚都”陶铭的发现,为确定白狼县地望提供线索;大城子一地连四城,承转着右北平郡东部与辽西郡的政区联动。

Bailang,situated in the YouBeiping commandery of the Western Han Dynasty,is believed to be located near present-day Dachengzi in Kazuo County,as viewed through the lens of regional historical context.Geographically,the“Bailang River”has sculpted the landscape known as“Bailang Mound”,suggesting that Bailang County might have been positioned at the confluence of the two sources of the Daling River.In terms of regional transportation,Dachengzi strategically aligns with national planning goals of“establishing cities along key transportation routes”.On the administrative front,the discovery of“Baigengdu”in Tao Ming’s inscriptions provides valuable clues for identifying the location of Bailang County.Dachengzi,serving as a hub connecting four cities in the region,played a crucial role in coordinating the political jurisdictions of the eastern part of the YouBeiping commandery and Liaoxi commandery.
