Songping


Tống Bình (Vietnamese) or Songping (Chinese: , p Sòngpíng, w Sung-p‘ing) was a former imperial Chinese and Vietnamese settlement on the south bank of the Red River within present-day Hanoi's Từ Liêm and Hoài Đức districts.

A fortified settlement was founded by the Chinese Liu Song dynasty as the seat of Songping County (t 宋平, s 宋平, p Sòngpíng Xiàn) within Jiaozhi (Giao Chỉ) commandery. The name refers to its pacification by the dynasty. It was elevated to its own commandery (宋平, p Sòngpíng Jùn; Vietnamese: Tống Bình quận) at some point between AD 454 and 464. The commandery included the districts of Yihuai (t , s , p Yìhuái) and Suining (t , s , p Suíníng).
