真定 / Zhending

真定 / Zhending enters the wiki through Hanji 182 part 2 as the name 刘邦 gives 东垣 after taking it during the 陈豨之乱. The source treats the name as a political marker, not just a geographic label.

The renaming matters because it follows a hard siege, punishment of prisoners who had cursed Liu Bang, and broader relief measures for counties in the Dai/Zhao theater. Zhending therefore records how early Han pacification could pair coercive conquest with a declarative claim that order had now been stabilized.
