Abstract: When LU Ji faced his death in West Jin Dynasty, he sighed, “Can I hear the whooping of cranes of Huating?” Later, people compared it to the classic story “dog of Shangcai” of LI Si, prime minister of Qin Dynasty. Therefore, people have their emotional sigh “If people don’t take a lesson from LI Si’s story, they will regret when they get in trouble like LU Ji”. We know Shangcai was the LI’s hometown, but the relationship between Huating and LU Ji and his family has been in dispute. Therefore, it is necessary for scholars to research into Huating’s location and know its evolution in order to reveal its relation with LU’s family.
