Historical evolution

At the end of the Shang Dynasty in the 11th century B.C., there were two earliest states in Jingchuan, Ruan and Gongguo, which were the vassal states of the Shang Dynasty. The territory of Ruan state is between the present Chengguan, Luohan cave, Jingming and Honghe, and the territory of Gongguo state is around the present Chengguan Shuiquan temple. Later, they were destroyed by King Wen of Zhou Dynasty.

At the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty, about 768 BC, yiqurong gradually became powerful. In today's Xigou village, Jiaocun Township, Ningxian County, Qingyang City, an ancient Xirong state, yiquguo, was established.

In the 43rd year of King Zhou Nan (272 BC), King Zhaoxiang of Qin destroyed qurong and set up Beidi County, which governs the five counties of Pingliang East, Qingyang and Guyuan area of Ningxia. Jingchuan belongs to it.

In the Western Han Dynasty, in the fifth year of Yuanfeng (106 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up the Department of history of thirteen assassins. In the third year of Yuanding (114 BC), Anding county was set up according to Beidi county. Anding county was under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou governor department. Anding County governs Gaoping (today's Guyuan of Ningxia) and governs the vast area of Guanlong where Gansu, Ningxia and Shaanxi meet. It has jurisdiction over 21 counties: Gaoping, Fulei, anbi, Fuyi, Chaona, Jingyang, Linjing, Lu, Wushi, Yinmi, Anding, Shen, Sanshui, Yinpan, Anwu, Zuli, Yuande, xujuan, Pengyang, Guiyin and Yueshi. Linjing county (now Shuiquan temple in Chengguan of Jingchuan), Anding county (now North tableland of Jingchuan to Qingyang Zhenyuan), Yuande county (now south of Jingchuan) and Yinpan county (now South tableland of Jingchuan borders Changwu and Lingtai) are under the jurisdiction of Jingchuan.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the fourth year of Emperor Shun's Yongjian (129 A.D.), Qiang's power declined and anding County moved back. After years of war, the population of Anding county was greatly reduced. The 20 counties in the early Eastern Han Dynasty were merged into 8 counties, namely Linjing, Chaona, Wushi, Gaoping, Sanshui, Pengyang, Yinpan and CH ú ng. This adjustment retained the original large counties of Anding county and squeezed out the small ones. Gaoping County was seriously destroyed, so the anding county was set up in Linjing county. Moreover, the counties far from the West did not return to the old one, and they were all set up around the new county. Linjing county is in the area of Shuiquan temple, Chaona county is in the northwest of Jingchuan, Wushi county is in the east of Jingchuan, and Gaoping County is in the south of Jingchuan.
