For other uses, see Lucheng District.Lucheng (潞城, pinyin: Lùchéng) is a county-level city in southern Shanxi province of the People's Republic of China. It covers an area of 615 km² and has a population of 210,000. It is a division of the prefecture-level city of Changzhi which was founded in 1994. Lucheng's economy is driven by coal and limestone mining.
A village in Lucheng county, Zhangzhuangcun (张庄村, pinyin: Zhāngzhuāngcūn), sometimes translated as Long Bow Village, was made famous by the book Fanshen written by William H. Hinton. The book chronicles the changes Zhangzhuangcun underwent after the defeat of occupying Japanese forces by the communist Eighth Route Army and the ensuing land reform movement by the Communist Party of China. Hinton documented his return to Zhangchuangcun years later in Shenfan, chronicling what had happened in the years since and describing how the Cultural Revolution affected the village.
