The history of the hometown of sculpture

Quyang has a long history, and it is named because it is located on the sunny side of Hengshan Mountain in Gubei (now damao mountain). After the Qin Dynasty (2265438 BC+0-207 BC) unified the six countries, it was divided into 36 counties, which started in Quyang County and belonged to Julu County with a history of more than 2,000 years. The Yuan Dynasty (A.D. 127 1-1368) upgraded Quyang to Hengzhou and Xiaxian, so Quyang was also called "Hengzhou". Quyang has a profound cultural heritage. According to the excavation of Lingshan Cave in the north of the county seat, as early as hundreds of thousands of years ago, there were Chinese apes here. Clan tribes appeared here during Yangshao culture five or six thousand years ago. By the Shang and Zhou Dynasties (BC17th century-22 BC1year), villages had appeared in the northwest of the county. A long history has given birth to many prime ministers such as Lin Xiangru, Du Bi and Wang An, more than 30 marshals and generals such as Li Zuoche, Li Jin and Di Shi, and dozens of philosophers, historians, militarists, strategists and sculptors such as Huang Shigong, Du Taiqing and Yang Qiong. For thousands of years, Lin Xiangru endured humiliation for the country and the people, "Quyang Ghost" gave his life to save people from danger, Wang Anzhong was incorruptible and punished greed, and Yang Qiong's noble character and excellent moral character of building the country and working hard were inherited and carried forward by Zhao Yan's children, which also cast the spirit and soul of Quyang people.
