Pingliang has been an important town to protect Sanqin and control Wuyuan since ancient times. It is a "battleground for military strategists" and a traditional commodity distribution center in Longdong. The transportation and military hub of the Central Plains leading to the western regions, the eastern end of the northern line of the ancient Silk Road, is not only a highway hub in the northwest, but also an important transit point for the second passage of the Eurasian Continental Bridge.
Pingliang has a long history, and 12 paleolithic sites have been discovered in the territory. In addition to stone tools, there are human skull fossils and associated animal fossils such as cattle, horses and sheep, which is enough to prove that there were human activities in China as early as 600,000 years ago.
It can be concluded that human beings lived in Pingliang 300,000 years ago from the living site of the early Paleolithic ancestors unearthed in Daling, Taiping Township, Jingchuan County. Five thousand years ago, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan once climbed Kongtong Mountain in Pingliang City and asked Yu Guangcheng.

The development of history
Xia Dynasty was the place where Emperor Xiangrong lived. In the territory, to the east of Longshan, it is Xiang's mansion, and to the west, it is Kun Yi's mansion. At the end of Shang Dynasty, Mi (now Lingtai County), Ruan (now between Jingchuan County and Lingtai County), * * * (now Jingchuan County) and other countries were established in the southeast.
In the Western Zhou Dynasty, jurisdiction belonged to Zhou people and their places of detention. In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, countries such as Mi, Ruan and * * * surrendered to Zhou and built Lingtai in Lingtai County. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the territories were Ubbelohde and Yiqu Guo Rong. In the thirty-seventh year of Qin Mugong (623 BC), Qin conquered Rong and "benefited twelve countries and opened Wan Li", which belonged to Qin.
During the Warring States Period, King Huiwen of Qin was in Yuan Geng for six years (365,438+09), and Jingyang, Wushi (now Pingliang City) and Guai 'an (the place of governance is unknown) were established. In the last ten years (365,438+05), the state of Qin attacked the Iraqi canal and took twenty-five cities, and its influence became more and more powerful.
The Three Kingdoms are now under the jurisdiction of Wei Yongzhou. In the third year of Jingyuan of Wei Yuan Emperor (262), Yinmi in Ubbelohde, Lin Jing, Chaona and Lingtai areas in Jingchuan area (which will be reset to be tested) belonged to Anding County, and quail in Lingtai area belonged to Xinping County. Today Huating belongs to Fufeng County; Today, Ayang and Ji Cheng in Jingning County belong to Guangwei County and Tianshui County.
In July of the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936), Pingliang administrative supervision area was renamed as the second administrative supervision area; At the same time, Lingtai County and Jingchuan County will be changed to the third administrative supervision area (governing Xifeng).
