Zhaohua, Guangyuan

Zhaohua District (Chinese: 昭化区; pinyin: Zhāohuà Qū) is a district of the city of Guangyuan, Sichuan Province, China. It was formerly called Yuanba District until 12 March 2013.

During the Shu kingdom era it was known as Jiameng County (Chinese: 葭萌县), the capital of the Juhou state [zh] (Chinese: 苴侯国). Established in 285 BC, it served as a base for Liu Bei before he captured Chengdu. He renamed Jiameng to Hanshou (Chinese: 汉寿) in 217 AD. In 280 AD the name was changed to Jinshou County (Chinese: 晋寿县). In 347, Jiange County was split off. It was named to Yiguang County (Chinese: 益光县) in 925 and to Zhaohua in 972.
