Dunhuang 燉煌 (The first character has the fanqie phonetic spelling [d- + -ūn > d-] dùn hún 反. The second character has the sound of huáng 皇. The Hanshu states: "Dunhuang Commandery is Shazhou. It was established in the first year of Emperor Wu by dividing Jiuquan Commandery." Du Lin's commentary states: "Dunhuang was taken to be ancient Guazhou." The Gujin zhengzi states that both characters take the fire radical, with 敦 and 皇 as their respective phonetics).
