Weibo (Tang Dynasty)
Weibo (; alternatively written Wei–Bo), also known as Tianxiong (), was a province or circuit (, ''dào'') of the mid to late Tang dynasty. The area was governed from the capital of Weizhou () in modern Daming County, Handan, Hebei, and controlled the southern Hebei and northern Shandong regions.

Location Of Handan Prefecture Within Hebei (China)
In geography, location or place are used to denote a region (point, line, or area) on Earth's surface or elsewhere. The term ''location'' generally implies a higher degree of certainty than ''place'', the latter often indicating an entity with an ambiguous boundary, relying more on human or social attributes of place identity and sense of place than on geometry. Types Locality A locality, settlement, or populated place is likely to have a well-defined name but a boundary that is not well defined varies by context. London, for instance, has a legal boundary, but this is unlikely to completely match with general usage. An area within a town, such as Covent Garden in London, also almost always has some ambiguity as to its extent. In geography, location is considered to be more precise than "place". Relative location A relative location, or situation, is described as a displacement from another site. An example is "3 miles northwest of Seattle". Absolute location An absolute locati ...
