Heaven and earth are yellow, and the dawn of the east.
The ancestor of civilization, China Yanhuang.
Passed down from generation to generation, the prosperity is not young.
Qingshui was called Shangtai in ancient times, and was named after the "four notes of clear springs". Since 688 B.C., Qin Wugong invaded Tai Rong and placed Tai County, and has a history of 2,712 years of county building. This is the birthplace of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, the first ancestor of humanities, the birthplace of Qin's unification of China, and the hometown of Zhao Chongguo, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty. The Xuanyuan culture, the early Qin culture, the Han and Tang cultures, and the Song and Jin cultures are unique and rich, and the Chinese civilization of thousands of years has a long history and endless growth in this hot land.
Qingshui is the "hometown of Xuanyuan", which has been repeatedly recorded in the literature. "Notes on the Book of Water" records: "The emperor was born in Tianshui Xuanyuan Valley. "Zhili Qinzhou New Chronicles" contains: "The emperor was born in the Xuanyuan Hill, the name is Xuanyuan, and there is Xuanyuan Valley in Qingshui County today. So far, on the opposite side of Xuanyuan Hill in Xuanyuan Valley, Baihe Village, Shanmen Town, Qingshui County, on both sides of Xuanyuan Creek, there are still two villagers surnamed "Lei" and "Miao", which are said to be "specially guarding the incense of the Three Emperors".
Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor is an outstanding founder of Chinese civilization and traditional Chinese culture, he sowed hundreds of grains and plants, developed production, began to make clothes, build boats and cars, make music and rhythm, and create medicine, laid the foundation of Chinese civilization, and condensed the spiritual genes of the descendants of Yan and Huang.
The origin of Chinese civilization originated from the pottery age from the perspective of the times, and the origin of pottery is also one of the important symbols for judging the origin of human civilization. In the early days of Yangshao culture, Qingshui left footprints of early human reproduction on the rich land of humanities. Some exquisite pottery and stone tools from various periods such as Yangshao culture, Majiayao culture, and Qijia culture unearthed in various parts of Qingshui County have witnessed the long history of Qingshui's civilization and shown the brilliant prehistoric culture.
The Chinese civilization has continued to develop through the collision and integration of multiple ethnic groups. According to Sima Qian's "Historical Records of Qin", in the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Feizi lived in Inuqiu, because King Xiao of Zhou had meritorious work in raising horses, so he was a vassal and was sealed in Qin. Qintingpu Village in the Qinting River Valley under Qinle Mountain in Qinting Town, Qinting Town, is the main road that must be passed through Longshan in history. It was from this that the Qin people began to develop and become stronger, and then moved eastward into the Central Plains, realizing the unification of the whole country and establishing a feudal centralized Qin empire.
Located in the north of Qingshui County, the Li Ya site on the platform at the confluence of the west bank of the Fan River and the north bank of the Niutou River in the north of Qingshui County is the historical code left by the Qin people in Qingshui, and the tombs excavated by archaeology are consistent with the burial customs of the tombs of the high-ranking nobles of the Qin State, and the age is mainly concentrated in the early and middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is the earliest Qin cultural relics seen so far. The Li Ya site, which has been identified as the "ancient city of Wei and Jin" and "Feizi Fengyi", was listed as the 13th major cultural relics and archaeological discoveries in 2011 by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, and was announced as a national key cultural relics protection unit by the State Council in 2013.
The long history has given birth to a brilliant civilization, and it has also created heroes such as Zhao Chongguo, a famous general in Tuntian of the Western Han Dynasty. Zhao Chongguo, whose name is Weng Sun, is a native of Shangqi, Longxi, and is now a native of Qingshui County, Tianshui City, Gansu Province. A famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, he proposed the strategy of "not sending troops to agriculture, farming and warfare" and was adopted by Emperor Xuan, and made outstanding contributions to the Tuntian policy at that time, and Mao Zedong, a great man, also spoke highly of Zhao Chongguo. Zhao Chongguo's three emperors, Emperor Wu, Emperor Zhao and Emperor Xuan, were knighted as Marquis of Yingping, called Marquis Zhuang, and buried in Zhao Chongguo Cemetery in the northwest of Qingshui County.

Successively built an imitation white marble archway, two wooden structure stele pavilions, one is the inscription of the calligrapher Zhao Mengfu of the Yuan Dynasty "Zhao Chongguo's Song", and the other is the statue tablet of Lu Gongji in the second year of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the second year, which belongs to the national cultural relics protection unit.
