Pi Tang, the Marquis of Leling in the Eastern Han Dynasty, has a great background!

Pi Tang was the son of Pi Tong in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the ninth year of Jianwu (AD 33), Pitang was granted the title of Marquis of Leling. In the 19th year of Jianwu (AD 43), Pitang died and his son was named Pi. Pi was childless and Leling was abolished.

Pitang was granted the title of Marquis of Leling because of his father Pitong, which was passed down to three generations. So, who is Pi Tong?

Pi Tong (?~30 years), named Weijun, was born in Xindu County, Xindu County (now Jizhou District, Hengshui City, Hebei Province). A famous general of Zhongxing in the Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai. During the Wang Mang regime, he served as the chief of staff of Hecheng County. Gengshi Emperor Liu Xuan proclaimed himself emperor and worshiped He as the prefect. After Wang Lang raised his troops, he held the city and waited for Liu Xiu, the commander-in-chief. He accompanied Liu Xiu to put down Wang Lang's rebellion, became the prefect of He, and was granted the title of Marquis of Wuyi. Liu Xiu ascended the throne and was granted the title of Marquis of Lingshou. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, people regarded Pi Tong as the "King of Pi", a miraculous doctor believed in in Anguo County (Pi and Pi have the same pronunciation). From then on, Pi Tong was revered as the "King of Medicine". The Yao Wang Temple in Anguo City is the largest existing temple in China. "A temple building complex commemorating the medical saint" is also a national key cultural relic protection unit.

Based on Pi Tong's status and influence, when Pi Tang's successor was renamed Leling Marquis, it can be inferred that Lelingzi was born in the Eastern Han Dynasty It should be a large county at that time, and it can be regarded as a geomantic treasure land.
