From the second year of Xiangxiang (580 A.D.) to the second year of the Republic of China (1913 A.D.), Weizhou existed all the time. From 1693 to 1757, a total of 64 years, there was a Yuxian County in Qing Dynasty. However, it coexisted with Yuzhou, and then merged into Yuzhou. So until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Weizhou department was real, not imitated. If anyone else doesn't believe it, you can go to the National Library of China to check different versions of Weizhou annals, as well as the general annals of Shanxi and Datong in the Ming Dynasty.
