Qishan County is a county in western Guanzhong, Shaanxi Province, China, under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Baoji.
History
Fengchu Township on the Wei River near Mount Qi in Qishan County was the site of the capital of the ancient state of Zhou under the Shang dynasty, which served as the capital of the predynastic Zhou until Ji Chang moved his court east to Fengjing c. 1051 BC. This capital was variously known as Qishan ("Mount Qi"), Qiyi ("Qi City"), and Zhouyuan ("Zhou Plains").[1][2] Many Zhou-era artifacts have been found here. These are now housed in a museum on the site.
