Qu County or Quxian (simplified Chinese: 渠みぞ县; traditional Chinese: 渠みぞ縣けん; pinyin: Qú Xiàn) is a county in the northeast of Sichuan Province, China. It is the westernmost county-level division of the prefecture-level city of Dazhou.

History

[edit]

Formerly known as Dangqu (宕渠), the county is best known for historic monuments. Namely, a partially preserved mausoleum complex, featuring gate towers, or que, belonging to the Shen (沈) family, which dates back to the Han dynasty.[1][2]

From 2014 to 2018, the Han dynasty site of Chengba (城しろ坝遗址し) near Tuxi in Qu county was excavated. A number of eave tiles with Chinese characters "dangqu" (宕渠) have been found, leading archaeologists to believe that this was the site of the Han dynasty city of Dangqu.[3]
