Yanling County is a county in the central part of Henan province, China. It is the easternmost county-level division of the prefecture-level city of Xuchang.

History

Human habitation of the area began around 6000 BC.

In the early Zhou dynasty, the area became the state of Yan (Chinese: 鄢國).

In the Eastern Zhou dynasty, the area became known as Yan Yi (Chinese: 鄢邑) after the destruction of the state of Yan under Duke Wu of Zheng (Chinese: [[:zh:鄭武公|鄭武公]]) in the early part of the reign of King Ping of Zhou (after 770 BC).[3]

In the fifth month of 722 BC, Duke Zhuang of Zheng defeated his younger brother Gongshu Duan (Chinese: [[:zh:共叔段|共叔段]]) north of present-day Yanling County.[4] [5] [6] [7]

The famous Battle of Yanling (575 BC) took place in Yanling County.

Yanling County was established during the Western Han dynasty in the year 201 BC.[4] [5]

In 2014, six men in Yanling County were fined 2,000 yuan each for their roles in catching 1,689 wild geckos in Zhangqiao.[8]
