History
[edit]The history of human activity in the Qilian area can be traced back to the Han dynasty, more than 2,000 years ago.[2] The Qilian County area was inhabited by the Qiang people in ancient times, and was adjacent to the Yuezhi people during the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, as well as during the Qin dynasty (circa 2200 B.C.-206 A.D.).[2][3]
In the sixth year of the Han dynasty (201 AD), the Yuezhi was attacked and invaded by the Xiongnu kings and some of them moved to the Qilian Mountains. names in history are "Lesser Yuezhi“[3]
In the year 121, Huo Qubing went and led his warriors to capture the Qilian Mountains, and the power of the Xiongnu and Yuezhi was greatly reduced in the Qilian Mountains, from then on the Yuezhi in the Qilian Mountains and the Huangshui valley were subservient to the Han. Since then, Han Chinese have also settled in this area.[2]
During the Eastern Han dynasty, the lesser Yuezhi, who lived in the present-day Nongniugoudi area of Qilian County, were influenced to evolve into the "Lushui Hu", and later, due to the influence of Han culture, they gradually integrated into the Han clan during the Northern Wei dynasty.[2]
On October 1, 1949, the People's Republic of China was founded and the Chinese People's Liberation Army was stationed in the "Babao" area. Qilian was liberated and on September 13, 1951, the Qinghai Provincial People's Government changed Qilian County into a city under provincial jurisdiction. In 1952, the Qilian Autonomous Region People's Government was established and in 1980, Qilian County was restored to the People's Government and placed under the jurisdiction of Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture until today.[3]
