Zhongli

— In general, we can see Ploughshare as part of a local system, which includes all the communities for whom the basic-level market, and later administrative center, has been the nearby town of Sanxia. This local system is, in turn, part of a regional system, including all of the Chinese-inhabited parts of Taiwan from Taoyan^([sic – meaning Taoyuan]) and Zhongli in the south to Jilong in the north, with its market and administrative center at the twin cities of Megjia^([sic – meaning Mengjia]) and Dadaocheng, which later became Taibei.
