Shunping County is a rural county in the west-central part of Hebei province, China. [1] It is under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Baoding and lies to the west of its urban core.
Under the Han, Shunping was known as Quni. [2] It was a base for Chen Xi's general Wang Huang ( t 王 黃, s 王 黄, Wáng Huáng) in his short-lived rebellion and the site of the defeat and executions of Wang and Hou Chang ( 侯 敞, Hóu Chǎng) by Guan Ying and other imperial forces in 196 BC.
It was renamed Shunping under Wang Mang's short-lived Xin dynasty.[ citation needed]
