Huangpi District (simplified Chinese:黄陂区;traditional Chinese:黃陂區;pinyin:Huángpí Qū) is one of 13 urbandistricts of theprefecture-level city ofWuhan, the capital ofHubei Province,China, situated on the northern (left) bank of theYangtze River. TheSheshui enters the Yangtze at Huangpi. The district is primarily rural, but also includes important infrastructure facilities, such asWuhan Tianhe International Airport andWuhan North Railway Station, which is one of the main freight stations andclassification yards on theBeijing–Guangzhou Railway. It is the northernmost of Wuhan's districts as well as the most spacious.[2] On the left bank of the Yangtze, it borders the districts ofXinzhou to the east, andJiang'an to the south, andDongxihu to the southwest; on the opposite bank, it bordersHongshan. It also borders theprefecture-level cities ofHuanggang to the northeast andXiaogan to the northwest. TheSheshui (She River) enters the Yangtze River at Shekou in Huangpi.
The use of the characterpi (陂) in Huangpi is cited in theContemporary Chinese Dictionary as an example of usage of this infrequently encountered pronunciation for the character.[5][6]
TheWuhan–Xiaogan Intercity Railway, one of the lines of theWuhan Metropolitan Area Intercity Railway, serves parts of Huangpi District, in particular Wuhan Tianhe Airport. The rail line opened on December 1, 2016.[7][8]
In 845 BC Marquis Wen (文侯) Huang Meng (黃孟, aka Huang Zhang (黃璋)) moved the capital of the State of Huang from Yicheng to Huangchuan (present-day Huangchuan, Henan). Huang Xi's descendants ruledState of Huang until 648 BC when it was destroyed by the State of Chu. The Marquis of Huang, Marquis Mu (穆侯) Huang Qisheng (黃企生), fled to the state of Qi. The people of Huang were forced to relocate to Chu. They settled in the region of present-day Hubei province, in a region known as the Jiangxia Prefecture (江夏郡) during the Han dynasty (206 BC-AD 220). There are many places in this region today that were named after Huang e.g. Huanggang, Huangpi, Huangmei, Huangshi, Huangan, Huangzhou etc. A large number of the people of Huang were also relocated to regions south of the Yangtze River.
