'Yang[tze] middle') is a county-level city under the administration of Zhenjiang, Jiangsu province, China.

There were only several smaller shoals in the area of present-day Yangzhong during the Eastern Jin.

In 1904, the imperial court decided to establish a subprefecture named after Taiping.

The county was renamed Yangzhong, the abbreviation of "揚子江中" which means "(the shoal is) in the Yangtze River".
