Historical evolution:
Place names, which often appear in ancient literature, are now located in Qixian Town, Kaifeng City, Henan Province. Liu Chen and Helai are now two ancient towns in Kaifeng. In many previous periods, Liu Chen was a county, so as long as it is Liu Chen, it must refer to the present town. Many wrong documents refer to various places, which are messy and unreliable.
From its geographical location and jurisdiction, Chen has a long history and profound cultural heritage. As early as 6000 years ago, during the Yangshao culture period, ancestors lived here, and there were many prehistoric cultural sites in China. There are Yangshao cultural sites in Zhu Lin town, and Longshan cultural sites in Levin town, such as Duangang, Niujiaogang and Wugang, all of which are the territory of Qi tribe.
