According to legend, Yao Xing, the emperor in the late Qin Dynasty, and officials from Chang 'an, the capital, went to the thatched cottage to listen to Kumarajiva's lectures. In order to facilitate traffic, a ferry was set up on the geomantic omen, hence the name Qin Dou. Qin Dou Town, known as the "peak scenic spot" in ancient times, has two former sites (Dangyang Palace and Liancheng Palace), five gates, the ninth floor (the most magnificent of which is Wang Yaolou), thirteen castles and so on. After the 1980s, although great progress has been made, the old street shops still exist. The reputation of "both civil and military" originated from Qin Dou. Qin Dou is the source of enlightenment and practice of China people's thought of governing the country by civil and military means. After Zhou Wenwang moved the capital to Fengfeng, he founded the country with the thought of civil administration, which won the hearts of the people all over the world and created the necessary conditions for overthrowing the Shang Dynasty by force. He is open and honest, accepts talents, and makes extensive use of Jiang Shang and others. Later, under the leadership of Ji Fa, the king of Wu, he overthrew the Shang Dynasty by force and established the first feudal dynasty in China, the Zhou Dynasty. Jiang Ziya's story of killing ghosts and gods took place in Qin Dou, which was the first summary and trial of a war more than 3,000 years ago. The thought of civil and military administration laid the foundation of China's feudal dynasty model and promoted the progress of human civilized society. "Being both civil and military" is a great invention of China people's political thought. As a strategy of China people, the way of civil and military affairs has penetrated into all aspects of oriental culture for thousands of years.
