What place does Qinchuan refer to in 800 Li?

Eight hundred Li Qinchuan refers to the Guanzhong Plain in Shaanxi Province, also known as Weihe Plain. In ancient times, this was the residence of Qin State. Later, after a series of wars in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin Shihuang unified the six countries and established a unified centralization here. The favorable weather, favorable geographical conditions and well-developed agriculture laid the foundation for the civilized development of Qin State, so 800 Li is called Qinchuan.

First, the characteristics of origin During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the ancestors of the Qin people established the State of Qin in Tianshui, Gansu. Later, Qin people moved eastward to Guanzhong area, and now Shaanxi has become the main residence of Qin people. Because Shaanxi is the residence of the State of Qin, and later generations call it Shaanxi Qin for short, the main mountains span the Qinling Mountains in central Shaanxi and Qinchuan in Weihe Plain. Because of its vast area, this place is called eight hundred Li Qinchuan.

Second, historical characteristics After a series of wars in the Spring and Autumn Period, many countries gradually perished. By the Warring States period, the State of Qin was becoming more and more powerful, leaving only seven countries in the Central Plains: Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei and Qin. During the reign of Qin Shihuang, from 230 BC to 22 BC1year, the other six countries were gradually eliminated and the Central Plains Dynasty was ruled, and the first unified centralized era in China was established. This is no small matter in this land.

Third, geographical characteristics It is precisely because this area is the territory of the former Qin State and the Qin Dynasty that everyone used to call Shaanxi Qinchuan in 800 Li. Here is the Weihe River impact plain at the northern foot of Qinling Mountains, with Qinling Mountains in the south, Beishan Mountain in the north, Baoji Gorge in the west and Tongguan in the east. This area is about 360 kilometers long from east to west, with an average elevation of about 500 meters. Its northern part is the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi, and its southern part is the Qinba Mountain area in southern Shaanxi. The population here is dense, agriculture is developed, the climate has been favorable since ancient times, and it has a good civilization foundation.
