History
Historically, the area governed by Nagarzê County was collectively known as "Yangzho" (Tibetan: Template:Bo-textonly, meaning "Upper Pasture").[1]
During the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE), when the 32nd Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo established the Tibetan Empire, this region was incorporated into the military-administrative division "Yoru" (约茹) and named "Yangzho Kangqing Buren Di Ayu" (Tibetan: Template:Bo-textonly), meaning "The Five Yak-Nurturing Homelands in the Snowy Upper Pasture". In the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), the central government appointed leaders of the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism to administer Tibet, establishing the Yangzho Ten-thousand Household Office (羊卓万户府) within Nagarzê's jurisdiction.[2]
During the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the Phagmodrupa regime (Template:Lang-zh), supported by the Ming court, established Nagarzê Dzong (浪卡子宗) to govern the Yangzho region.[3]
In 1954, the Tibetan local government divided the area into three administrative units: Nagarzê Dzong, Baid Dzong (白地宗), and Daglung Dzong (打隆宗), all under the jurisdiction of Lhoka Gigu (洛喀基巧, Governor of Southern Tibet). Following democratic reforms in 1959, the Preparatory Committee of the Tibet Autonomous Region merged Langdzê Dzong (朗格则宗) and Baid Dzong into Nagarzê County, while establishing Daglung County (打隆县) through the merger of Daglung and Linggu (岭谷), both placed under Gyantse Prefecture (江孜专区).[4] In February 1964, Daglung County was incorporated into Nagarzê County and transferred to Lhoka Prefecture (山南专区), where it remains administratively today.[5]
