Henei Commandery

Esiymbro:


'''Henei Commandery''' () was a [[Jun (country subdivision)|commandery]] of China from [[Han dynasty]] to [[Tang dynasty]], located in modern [[Henan]] province, to the north of [[Yellow River]].

In ancient China, Henei ("Inside the Yellow River") referred to the land north of the lower Yellow River. The commandery was established during [[Emperor Gaozu of Han]]'s reign. It administered 18 counties: Huai (懷), Ji (汲), Wude (武德), Bo (波), Shanyang (山陽), Heyang (河陽), Zhou (州), Gong (共), Pinggao (平皋), [[Zhaoge]] (朝歌), [[Xiuwu County|Xiuwu]] (脩武), [[Wen County, Henan|Wen]] (溫), [[Qinyang|Yewang]] (野王), Huojia (獲嘉), Zhi (軹), Qinshui (沁水), Longlü (隆慮) and [[Tangyin County|Dangyin]] (蕩陰). The 2 AD census recored 1,067,097 people in 241,246 households, while the census in 140 AD recorded 159,770 households and 801,558 people.<ref>''[[Book of Han]]'', Chapter 28.</ref><ref>''[[Book of Later Han]]'', Chapter 109.</ref>

Over the course of [[Jin dynasty (265–420)|Jin]] and [[Northern Wei]] dynasties, the Han-era Henei Commamdery was divided into four commanderies including Henei, Linlü (林慮), Ji and Wude. According to the [[Book of Wei]], the population was 42,601, 55,714, 102,997, and 52,372 respectively<ref>''[[Book of Wei]]'', Chapter 106.</ref>.

In early [[Emperor Wen of Sui|Kaihuang]] era, the much reduced Henei Commandery was merged into Huai Prefecture (懷州)<ref>''[[Book of Sui]]'', Chapter 30.</ref>. Later, Henei Commandery became an alternative name of Huai. In 742 AD, the prefecture had 5 counties, and a population of 318,126<ref>''[[New Book of Tang]]'', Chapter 39.</ref>.
