Quwo County

Also known as Quwo

Quwo County is a county in Linfen, in southern Shanxi province, China. In antiquity Quwo was the base of a junior branch of the ruling house of Jin, which fought the senior line for decades and seized power in 678 BCE under Duke Wu. Part of the Tianma-Qucun archaeological site, with the cemetery of the early Jin marquises, lies within it.
