During the 1970s, the southeastern Shanxi region governed 16 counties: Changzhi, Changzi, Xiangyuan, Tunliu, Licheng, Huguan, Pingshun, Wuxiang, Qinyuan, Qinxian, Lucheng, Gaoping, Jincheng, Lingchuan, Yangcheng, and Qinshui. It was bordered by Hebei to the east, Pingyao to the west, Taiyuan to the north, and Henan to the south. It was a hundred miles in radius. It was so vast and majestic. The hinterland of southeastern Shanxi is also named "Shangdang", which means "the land is extremely high and is aligned with the sky." The ancients said, "Elbowing Jingluo and walking on Pujin, leaning on Taiyuan and crossing Heshuo", and another saying, "Taihang's crossroads are winding, and Shangdang Yunshan is the tip of the horse's ear." Now that we are talking about Ma'erjian, there is actually a village called "Ma'erjian". Ma'erjian Village is small, with not many people. There are pear trees growing there, and there is a girl named Li'er. Li'er has been known to be a shrewd woman since she was a child.
