Zhushan County

Emperor Fei of the ancient state of Western Wei named the county Zhushan ({{Lang-zh|c=竹山|s=|t=|p=}}), meaning bamboo mountain.

The area of present-day Zhushan County belonged to the Chu State until 611 BCE. After this time, it belonged to the Shangyong Commandery.

In 1377, it placed under {{Interlanguage link|Xiangyang Fu|lt=|zh|襄阳府|WD=}}, and remained there until the establishment of {{Interlanguage link|Yunyang Fu|lt=|zh|郧阳府|WD=}} in 1476.

In 1914, the area was reorganized as {{Interlanguage link|Xiangyang Circuit|lt=|zh|襄阳道|WD=}}.

In 1932, the Republic of China introduced {{Interlanguage link|Administrative Inspectorates|lt=|zh|行政督察区|WD=}}, and the county belonged to the 11th Administrative Inspectorate of Hubei Province.

On January 20, 1948, the area was taken by the People's Liberation Army. In 1949, it was organized into the {{Interlanguage link|Liangyun Prefecture|lt=|zh|两郧专区|WD=}}, which was renamed to Yunyang Prefecture in April 1950.

In January 1953, the area was moved to the {{Interlanguage link|Xiangyang Prefecture|lt=|zh|襄阳专区|WD=}}.

In 1965, it was once again moved to Yunyang Prefecture.

In October 1994, the area was reorganized as part of the newly-expanded prefecture-level city of Shiyan.

Zhushan County is located in the northwestof Hubei province. Over 80% of the county is mountainous. The Du River, called Duhe Shui (堵河水) in Chinese, the largest tributary of the Han River, flows through the county.

The county is bordered by Fang County to the east, Yunyang District and Baihe County in Shaanxi to the north, Zhuxi County and Xunyang County in Shaanxi to the west, and Shennongjia and Wuxi County in Chongqing to the south.
