Mengjin District[3] is adistrict inLuoyang City, in the northwest ofHenan province, China, located to the north of Luoyang's urban districts.
Mengjin began its life as an ancient ferry crossing for theYellow River. According to legend,King Wu of Zhou crossed theYellow River at this location, after forming an alliance with the other nobles, leading to the theory that the original name was actually (盟津;Méngjīn; 'ferry crossing of the alliance') rather than孟津;Mèngjīn. According to this theory, it was only in later times that the character盟 was mistakenly replaced by孟. The ferry crossing was an important strategic location during times of war.
InChapter 6 of Romance of the Three Kingdoms,Cao Cao explains that part of his strategy in engagingDong Zhuo's forces was forYuan Shao's forces to take control of Mengjin (see:Battle of Xingyang).
As of 2012, Mengjin is divided to 10 towns.[4] In March 2021,Jili District was merged into Mengjin District.[5]
