Puding County () is a county in west-central Guizhou province, China. It is under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Anshun.

Etymology

The name "Puding" () can be traced back to the Mongolian-rule Yuan dynasty (1271–1368), when in 1257, after the Mongolian army went to conquest southwest China, the imperial court set up a "Fu" named "Puding" in the area.

History

In the 3rd century BC, Puding County (Puding) was a part of an ancient political entity Yelang.

After the Tang Empire conquered Guizhou, a county named "Shi'an" () was set up and it came under the jurisdiction of Yan Zhou (), which symboled this land was formally annexed to the Tang Empire. In 755, the An Lushan Rebellion broke out, then the past decades of internal fighting had weakened the Tang Empire. Puding broke away from the rule of the Tang Empire. The native tribes founded the Luodian Kingdom ().

In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period (907–960), it belonged to Shi'an County, part of which was owned by Wangjiang county ().

In 1257, the Mongols occupied Puding and established Puding Prefecture () and it came under the administration of Qujing Xuanweisi (). In 1351, Puding County was separated from Puding Prefecture.

In 1381, in the ruling of Hongwu Emperor (1368–1398) of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), Puding Castle was founded and it came under the jurisdiction of Sichuan Dusi (). In 1438, in the 3rd year of Zhengtong era (1436–1449), Puding County was under the administration of Guizhou Dusi ().

During the reign of Kangxi Emperor of the Qing dynasty (1644–1911), Puding County belonged to Anshun Prefecture ().

After the establishment of the Republic of China in 1912, Puding County was briefly revoked but immediately restored in the following year. In 1914, some areas of Anshun, Zhenning, Langdai, Zhijin and Pingba were merged into Puding County. In 1935, Puding County came under the jurisdiction of the (Anshun) Second Administrative Supervision Region (). Three years later, it came under the jurisdiction of the (Xingren) Third Administrative Supervision Region ().

In 1949, Guizhou was liberated by the People's Liberation Army. Puding County came under the jurisdiction of Anshun Zhuanqu (now Anshun; ).
