History
The area of present-day Baicheng has been inhabited by humans for more than 12,000 years, dating back to the Upper Paleolithic era. The area was subsequently inhabited by the nomadic Donghu from the period of the Shang dynasty through to the Qin dynasty. It would later be inhabited by the Xianbei and formed part of Buyeo from the period of the Han dynasty through to the Northern and Southern dynasties. During the time of the Sui dynasty and Tang dynasty, the area was inhabited by the Khitan people.
During the Khitan-founded Liao dynasty, the area was incorporated as part of the Changchun Prefecture, the seat of which was located in the ancient city of Chengsijiazi (Chinese: 城四家子; pinyin: Chéngsìjiāzǐ), located in present-day Deshun Mongol Ethnic Township in Taobei District. Four emperors of the Liao dynasty were based out of Changchun Prefecture: Emperor Shengzong, Emperor Xingzong, Emperor Daozong, and Emperor Tianzuo. During this time, the area was a major political, military, economic, and cultural center of the Liao Dynasty.
During the Jin dynasty, Changchun Prefecture remained intact until 1150, when it was reorganized as Changchun County (Chinese: 长春县; pinyin: Chángchūn Xiàn), which was placed under the jurisdiction of Zhao Prefecture. In 1198, the area was re-organized as Tai Prefecture, the seat of which was located in Chengsijiazi.
