Qianyang County

Qianyang County (simplified Chinese: 千阳县; traditional Chinese: 千陽縣; pinyin: Qiānyáng Xiàn) is a county in the west of Shaanxi province, China, bordering Gansu province to the north.

It is under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Baoji.

Established in 570 as 汧陽 (also pronounced Qianyang), in October 1964, in order to avoid rare characters, the name was changed to its current writing.

[1] Qianyang is considered the birthplace of Qin culture and is noted for its folk embroidery.
