城阳郡 / Chengyang Commandery

Overview

城阳郡 / Chengyang Commandery is a territorial unit of the early-Han 齐国 in this wiki’s current evidence. Its main significance here is not a complete administrative history, but its use as the material concession in 刘肥’s reported settlement with 吕雉.

Current Profile

After a Chang’an banquet allegedly exposes Liu Fei to a poison threat, a Qi official advises him to surrender one commandery to 鲁元公主 as a 汤沐邑. Liu Fei chooses Chengyang and combines that transfer with honoring his younger half-sister as queen mother. The commandery thus gives material credibility to a 名分倒置式求生: the concession is not only verbal submission but a reduction of the grantor’s territorial resources in favor of Lu Zhi’s daughter. Hanji 195

Key Characteristics

• Commandery presented as part of Liu Fei’s early-Han Qi kingdom.
• Territorial resource large enough to make political submission materially costly.
• Assigned to Princess Lu Yuan as a bathing estate in the episode’s account.
• Paired with a queen-mother title rather than transferred as an isolated fiscal measure.

Evidence

Territorial concession:

• Hanji 195 identifies Chengyang as the commandery Liu Fei gives Princess Lu Yuan after the banquet crisis.

Political function:

• Hanji 195 joins the grant to Liu Fei’s recognition of Princess Lu Yuan as queen mother and his subsequent release.

Qualifications

The supplied structured summary does not establish Chengyang’s exact borders, population, revenue, transfer procedure, later administration, or whether “giving the commandery” meant full jurisdiction or a bounded revenue assignment. The political purpose and causal effect of the concession remain the episode’s interpretation pending comparison with transmitted histories.

What Changed

• Created the page to represent the material object at the center of the Liu Fei-Princess Lu Yuan settlement.
• Limited the profile to the source-supported transfer rather than inferring a complete administrative history.

Relationships

• 齐国 - parent regional kingdom from which the commandery is reportedly ceded.
• 刘肥 - Qi king who makes the concession.
• 鲁元公主 - beneficiary of the bathing-estate assignment.
• 汤沐邑 - revenue and status form used to describe the grant.
• 名分倒置式求生 - political settlement whose material credibility depends on the transfer.
