    "The Eastern Wei wanted to annex the Western Wei by launching wars for many times, and at the same time dispatched civilians to build the Great Wall for the base of attack and defense. In 543, Gao Huan supervised the construction from Sizhou (today’s Xinzhou of Shānxi Province ) to Malingshu in the west (today’s Jingle of Shānxi Province) and to Tudeng in the east (today’s Dai County in Shānxi Province)."

Etymology

From Hanyu Pinyin Sìzhōu, from the Mandarin pronunciation of both Chinese 泗州 (Sìzhōu, “zhou on the Si River”) and 肆州 (Sìzhōu), used as both the name of the prefectures, subprefectures, &c. and their seats of government.
