Cao County or Caoxian (simplified Chinese: 曹县; traditional Chinese: 曹縣; pinyin: Cáo Xiàn) is a county in Heze City in southwestern Shandong Province, China. It borders Henan Province to the west.

History

[edit]

Bo, one of the capitals of the Shang dynasty, lay in what is now Cao .

Prior to the Boxer Rebellion, Cao was an area noted for its lawlessness. When local garrisons were weakened during the First Sino-Japanese War, a militia known as the Dadaohui ("Great Sword Company") was set up. It operated until 1895 and may have inspired some of the Boxer Rebellion.
