History

edit

Huangzhong has been inhabited since at least 4,000 years ago, as shown by archeological excavations in Lijiashan town. Later, the area belonged to the Qiang people. Since the capture of Xining by Emperor Wu of Han, Huangzhong has been part of the Chinese dynasties. The Han dynasty rulers established a county called Linqiang (临羌县) in the area, governed by Jincheng (Lanzhou). In 1943, the county seat was moved to Lushar town, and the county was named Huangzhong County, after the Huangshui river basin.[2] In 2020 Huangzhong County was changed to Huangzhong District of Xining.[1]
