Since ancient times, Renqiu has been a great man, both good and bad.

Renqiu has outstanding people and profound cultural heritage. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Bian Que (Qin Yueren), a physician, Han Ying, a Confucian scholar in the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Hekun, a general of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms Period, an admonisher in the Ming Dynasty, a calligrapher, poet and writer Bian Lianbao in the Qing Dynasty, an athlete in the Republic of China, a revolutionary poet Li Bo and a modern poet Yuan were all Renqiu people. Renqiu is also an old revolutionary base area, where there are witty and flexible anti-Japanese hero Yan Xiufeng (the prototype of Gazi in the movie Private Zhang Ga), the Yanling team that annihilated the Japanese invaders in the reeds, the guerrillas who fought bravely in tunnel warfare, and the heroic elegy of "Three Heroes of the Niu Family". Zhu De, Nie, Yang Chengwu and other revolutionaries of the older generation left footprints here.
