Talk:Ezhou

So Ezhou is part of Wuchang and Wuchang is part of Wuhan? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abu America (talk • contribs) 18:59, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * That's a but more complicated, because the name "Wuchang" has referred to different things over the ages. Today's Wuchang is part of Wuhan, and Ezhou has nothing to do with either Wuchang of Wuhan, being a separate city almost 100 km away. But in the past, as old maps show, "Wuchang" was also referring either to today's Ezhou, or maybe to some administrative unit part of which Ezhou was. According to some maps, the name "Wuchang" apparently applied to 2 different places at the same time at some point - and how travelers managed to find their way in those days, escapes me.
