History
Shuocheng is the site of the ancient Chinese frontier post of Mayi and its territory was previously organized as the Mayi County of Yanmen Commandery.
Yinguan, in present-day Shuocheng District's Xiaguancheng Village (夏关城村; Xiàguānchéng Cūn), was the seat of another county and of all of Yanmen Commandery during the Eastern Han. The post was moved to Guangwu near present-day Daixian under the Kingdom of Wei.
