In the 33rd year of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty (214 B.C.), the area was under the jurisdiction of Beidi County after the general Meng Tian recovered. Less than ten years later, it was still inhabited by Xiongnu.

In the second year of Yuanshuo, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (127bc), the Han Dynasty was located in Henan Province, and the territory was the territory of the northern Prefecture of the Han Dynasty.

In the third year of the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (114 BC), Anding county was set up, with zulili and Guiyin counties under the jurisdiction of Anding county.

In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, Qiyin county was changed into Fuyin County, which was subordinate to Wuwei County.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Fuyin County belonged to Wuwei County of Wei.

In the early years of the Western Jin Dynasty, a bald family of Xianbei nationality moved to Changyin and changed to maitian city. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Fuyin county was recovered, still known as Fuyin, which was under the jurisdiction of Wuwei County. In the fourth year of Xianhe, Emperor Cheng of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, maitian city was the residence of another Chifu clan in Xianbei.

After the first year of emperor Xiaowu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Fujian changed Fuyin County into Pingliang county. Since then, Pingliang county has been occupied by the former Qin Dynasty, the later Qin Dynasty, the southern Liang Dynasty, the great Xia Dynasty, the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty. It is called Pingliang county.

In the 13th year of Emperor Wen of the Western Wei Dynasty, Yuwen Taifeng Prince visited the West and joined Pingliang County, so it was renamed Huizhou. In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Huizhou was changed to huiningfang. Huiningfang was changed into Huining town in Sui Dynasty.

Four years after Yuanfeng, Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty, Li Xian built Daluo city (dalachi), forming the boundary between Song Dynasty and Xia Dynasty from yangshaogou to dalachi, Shuangpu to Langshan to Haiyuan. The east of the boundary is under the jurisdiction of Song Dynasty, and the west is the territory of Xixia.

The general characteristics of the terrain in Pingchuan District are high in the southeast and low in the northwest. It is 91.5 km long from east to west and 75 km wide from north to south. It is a long and narrow strip from northwest to Southeast, with stepped topography. The highest peak in Pingchuan District is Dading in Nangou of Quwu mountain, with an altitude of 2858 meters.

geology

The Pingchuan area is located in the eastern end of Qilian Mountains, with strong Qinqi fold and well developed faults. The geological structure is mainly a broom shaped rotating structural system converging to the northwest and spreading to the southeast. It has experienced many tectonic movements, among which the Caledonian movement is the strongest, showing strong subsidence and local rise. Since the Cenozoic Quaternary period, the tectonic movement is relatively strong, the stratigraphic zonation is obvious, the development is complete, and the genetic type is relatively complex. The development of Quaternary sediments belongs to continental sediments, including fluvial alluvial facies, Aeolian Loess in Yuanliang area, piedmont proluvial facies and alluvial proluvial facies in fault depression zone.

The geological structure in the area is exposed from the Precambrian to the fourth stratum of Cenozoic, and the quaternary system covers the largest area. The proven strata mainly include Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, tertiary and Quaternary. There are Cambrian middle Caledonian granodiorite, Ordovician limestone, marble and Jurassic scheelite outcropping in front of huangjiawa mountain and Quwu mountain.

Natural climate

Pingchuan is located in the central hinterland of Eurasia. There are Liupan Mountains in the northeast and Qinling Mountains in the southeast as barriers. The southeast warm and humid air flow is not easy to reach, so it has less precipitation and dry climate. It is close to Tengger Desert in the north, with open area and no high mountains. Siberian cold current is easy to invade, so winter is cold and long, and wind sand and frost damage are frequent. Influenced by the altitude, it forms two different climatic zones, Southeast and northwest. The general climate characteristics of Pingchuan District are: abundant light and heat resources, large diurnal temperature range
