Editing the historical evolution of this panoramic view of Tianshui "Tianshui" is the longest-used place name in local history. It began in the third year of Emperor Ding Yuan (1 14). Tianshui is named after the beautiful legend of "Tianhe Water Injection". As far back as 3000 years ago, Tianshui area was densely populated and houses were adjacent, with "beautiful mountains and rivers and dense trees". However, by the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, long-term campaigns, struggles and successive years of drought had turned the prosperous and wealthy Upper City into ruins and the people lived in poverty. Legend has it that one night, while people were sleeping, suddenly the sky was raging, a golden light shone and the ground was red. Suddenly, the earth shook continuously, accompanied by a huge rumble, and a big crack appeared on the ground. I saw the river falling from the sky and pouring into a big crack, thus forming a lake, Tianshui Lake. The water level of this lake is stable, the water quality is pure, sweet and mellow. "Spring is not dry, summer is not overflowing, and the four seasons are abrupt." At that time, people said that this lake was connected with Tianhe, also called "Tianshuijing". Later, when the legend was heard by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he ordered a new county to be built by the lake north of Shangai City, and named it "Tianshui County".

These springs are sweet and can be drunk all year round. Long-term drinking can make people's skin white. The skin of Tianshui residents is white and tender, so it is called "Tianshui White Doll". Tianshui has been a county since the Han Dynasty, and has successively been a military, county and town. Its jurisdiction and jurisdiction have changed many times. 19 13 years, Tianshui county was established in Qin Zhou (now water) under the jurisdiction of Weichuan Road. 1927, the national army stationed in Longnan, abandoned the road and changed the water administration supervision department. 1August 3, 949, Tianshui was liberated and Tianshui area was established. 1950, Tianshui area was established. Tianshui is nicknamed Qin Zhou. Qin Zhou's name originated in the first year of Wei Wendi (220). The source of Qin dynasty began with planting grass (that is, Maogu). Long before the Western Zhou Dynasty, Tianshui Valley Basin was a good place to raise horses and livestock because of its fertile land, open terrain, overlapping peaks and green grass. Boyi, the ancestor of the Qin people who lived here, was given the surname of Shun because he raised horses for Shun. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the concubine after Boyi was praised by Xiao Wang for her meritorious service in raising horses for Zhou. King Xiao not only made him inherit the surname of "Won" of Boyi in Shun Dynasty, but also made his land a vassal, and the state of Qin, which was a feudal city (that is, Imashimizu and), was named "Qin Land". This is the beginning of Qin dynasty in Chinese history. & lt/p & gt； Tianshui is the birthplace of Qin. Since the Three Kingdoms, there have been many places named after Qin in Tianshui, such as Qin 'an, Qinling and Qin Zhou. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Qin Zhou was an important town for China to go to Chang 'an in the west, and it was known as "the land where thousands of years gathered and dispersed", so it became famous for a while. According to the The biography of Master Sanzang, Tang Xuanzang went to India to worship Buddha and learn Buddhist scriptures, and once passed by Tianshui, "passing by Qin Zhou and stopping for one night". Up to now, there are many legends circulating in Tianshui about Tang Priest's scriptures. In the fourth year after the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, Du Fu resolutely abandoned his official position and moved his family to Qin Zhou. He began to live in Dongke Valley, 50 miles southeast of Qin Zhou, that is, Liu Jiahe (once named Zimei Village) in Bahuai Village, Jiezi Township, Beidao District, Tianshui City, and then moved to Qin Zhou City. Du Fu lived in Sanqinzhou for three months, and wrote "Twenty Miscellaneous Poems of Qinzhou" and 12 poems, which played an important role in his life's poetry creation. Tianshui is also called "Ji Cheng". The name of Ji Cheng began in the Western Han Dynasty, but it was only in Qin 'an County before the Song Dynasty, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that it moved to Tianshui. The name is related to the legendary Fu. Tianshui is called "Dragon City" because it is the birthplace of Fuxi, the ancestor of mankind, and also the hometown of dragons. Geography of Hanshu also records that there is Ji Cheng County in Tianshui County, so Tianshui is called "the hometown of Huang Xi". According to relevant data, the Fuxi Temple in Xiguan, Tianshui City has a history of more than 700 years since its initial construction. There are sixty-four hexagrams and river maps painted on the ceiling of Nantiangong Temple, which are rare in other places. Fuxi is the ancestor of the Chinese nation, and Tianshui people always like to call Fuxi Temple "Renzong Temple". Tianshui is the birthplace of China's ancient culture, enjoying the reputation of "hometown of Huang Xi", and it is the holy land for the descendants of dragons at home and abroad to seek their roots and ancestors. There are many cultural relics in the territory, including 169 national, provincial and municipal key protected cultural relics, among which Dadiwan site preserves a large number of early Neolithic and Yangshao cultural treasures. Tianshui is the only Fuxi Temple with a statue of China Fuxi, with carved beams and painted buildings. Maijishan Grottoes, one of the four largest grottoes in China, is known as the "Oriental Sculpture Museum". More than 7,730 statues from the end of the 4th century to the 20th century, about 1.600 years ago, together with Daxiangshan, water curtain cave, Lashao Temple and Muti Temple, formed the "Grottoes Art Corridor" in the eastern part of the ancient Silk Road. At the same time, the botanical gardens, Xianrenya, Shimen, Jingtu Temple, Quxi and Jiezi Hot Spring Resort, which are distributed in dozens of miles around Maijishan Fiona Fang, together form the National Forest Park-Maijishan Scenic Area. The human landscape and natural beauty complement each other wonderfully, attracting countless tourists at home and abroad.
