Baishui (Chinese: 白水; pinyin: Báishuǐ) is a county of Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, China.
Shiguan Village is, according to tradition, the birthplace of Cang Jie, a famed figure in ancient Chinese history who was scribe and historian for the Yellow Emperor and is credited with the creation of Chinese characters.
Dukang Township produces the "Du Kang" brand of Chinese baijiu, so named for the legendary figure Du Kang, a Xia dynasty man credited with the invention of liquor in China.
Though not fully referenced in classical literature, Du Kang was famously lauded in verse by Three Kingdoms general Cao Cao: "What means can loose man's worries?
He has only Du Kang..." On Friday, November 9, 2018 at around 11:00 AM local time, a cache of around 100,000 pieces of Northern Song dynasty currency (in weight totalling 460 kilograms) was discovered at a construction site in Baishui County.
