Wenanyi town was built in 537 A.D. and merged into Yanchuan County in 583 A.D. it was a large-scale post station and prosperous trade town in Northern Shaanxi in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Old story of educated youth
Many years ago, it was a village of unknown origin, "poverty" and "backwardness" were its pronouns. Although the commune was located in a village with relatively good natural conditions, there were no roads and no electricity at that time, so people lived a life of "working at sunrise and resting at sunset". In 1969, the arrival of a group of Beijing educated youth broke the original tranquility of liangjiahe.
According to the annals of Yanchuan County compiled in the 1990s, on January 23, 1969, more than 1300 young intellectuals from Beijing came to settle in Yanchuan County to jump in the queue. The educated youths take the train from Beijing to northern Shaanxi. One day and one night later, they arrive at Tongchuan station in Shaanxi Province. Then they change buses and cross the thousands of hills and ravines on the Loess Plateau to Yan'an, where they are assigned to counties, towns and villages. One of these educated youth is Xi Jinping.
After Beijing educated youth arrived in Yan'an, they were then assigned to Yanchuan County, about 80 kilometers away from Yan'an, and finally to wenanyi town. The commune has divided the list ahead of time, and the Party branch secretaries of each brigade are assigned to the educated youth in their own village according to the list. A captain of the Liang Jia River brigade returned to the village of Liang Jia river with 15 educated youth, including Xi Jinping. From that moment on, Xi Jinping, 16, began his 7 years of youth education in the place called Liang Jia river village.
In 1970, the village built six new caves side by side for the educated youth. This place was later known as the "educated youth courtyard".
