history
Shaanxi is located in the geographic center of China, north of the Qinling Mountains, Guanzhong, northern Shaanxi belongs to the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, and south of the Qinling Mountains belongs to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Guanzhong is an important birthplace of Chinese civilization. In ancient times, it was the place where Yongzhou was located. It was the burial place of the Yellow Emperor. It was also the place of the more distant Huaxu ancient country or the Huaxu clan (in the Lantian area of Xi’an today). Huaxu was the ancestor of the Chinese nation. She bred Nüwa and Fuxi respectively, and later Nüwa and Fuxi reproduced Shao Dian, and the two emperors of Yan and Huang were descendants of Shao Dian. Therefore, the Chinese characters in both Chinese and Chinese originated Yu Huaxu's family (in one word, it originated from Huashan). In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, Qin Shihuang's ancestor Shangfeizi contributed to raising horses for the Zhou royal family. Zhou Xiaowang sealed the land of "Qin" (it is said that it was in the southeast of Tianshui, Gansu Province) to him, and Qin became a vassal of Zhou. In 771 BC, Dog Rong broke through the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Gaojing (now Doumen Town, Chang'an District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province) and killed Zhou Youwang. Duke Qin Xiang led the men and horses to attack Dog Rong and made a military exploit. The following year, he escorted Zhou Ping Wang to move east to Luoyi (now Luoyang, Henan Province), and made new contributions. King Ping made him a vassal and gave him the land west of Qishan, Shaanxi. In this way, the State of Qin controlled parts of Shaanxi Province. Qin Mu Gongshi. With strong national power, he defeated the Jin Kingdom in the east and occupied the entire Guanzhong. It can be seen that since Shaanxi was the State of Qin in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was abbreviated as "Qin".
Geography and climate 
The climate type of Shaanxi is the eastern continental monsoon climate. It is characterized by cold, sunny and dry winter, hot and rainy summer, and four distinct seasons. Generally speaking, the best time to travel in Shaanxi is spring and autumn, but the climate difference between north and south of Shaanxi is quite large, so generalizations cannot be made. There are severe sandy wind erosion and soil erosion in northern Shaanxi, so the wind and sand are very heavy, especially in spring, where there are often sand and dust weather. Precipitation in southern Shaanxi is often concentrated in summer, and winter is also relatively cold. Like watching Ansai waist drum, Luochuan drum, Yichuan chest drum and northern Shaanxi Yangko, winter is the best time to watch many folk celebrations.
