In 247 CE, Pingyang County was re-established, and remained in effect until 481 CE. Six years later, in 487 CE, the county was re-established, but would intermittently be abolished and re-established until 1116.

In 1116, Pingyang Fu () was established. Pingyang Fu was revoked in 1220, but would be re-established in 1368 with the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.
