Description

The zhe-chong-fu 折衝府, which supported the Tang fu-bing system, numbered more than six hundred and were scattered throughout the country. They were, however, concentrated at specially fixed sites. If we examine the individual zhe-chong-fu in their historical and geographical detail, we find that many of them were established at fortresses built at strategic points during the period of warfare from the division of the Bei-Wei 北魏 to the founding of the Tang empire. We also find that the function of the zhe-chong-fu was not only concerned with the draft, drill and rotating capital guard, but in addition they served as military bases from which to carry out the daily rule of law.
