Ganquan Palace ruins attraction introduction:

Ganquan Palace ruins are located at the southern foot of Ganquan Mountain in the north of Chunhua County, Xianyang City. It is a provincial key cultural relic protection unit. According to historical records, the location of Ganquan Palace has been the place where the Yellow Emperor worshiped Tianqiu and where the Yellow Emperor ascended to immortality. It is also recorded that the place where the Xiongnu offered sacrifices to heaven was at the foot of Ganquan Mountain in Yunyang, but Qin took the land. The Yellow Emperor worshiped the gods, and the Wanling Mingting Palace of the princes was located in Ganquan. Linguang Palace was built here in the Qin Dynasty, and Ganquan Palace was built next to it in the Han Dynasty. "Han Shu Suburban Sacrifice Chronicles" records that Emperor Wu built Ganquan Palace in response to the words of Li Shaoweng, a native of Qi, with a terrace room in the middle. He painted pictures of heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, and placed sacrificial vessels to worship the gods. These records show that worshiping the gods was very grand in ancient times. He was one of the important activities of the legendary Yellow Emperor and the emperors of Qin and Han in Ganquan Palace.

Ganquan Mountain was valued in ancient times. The Qin and Han dynasties built palaces here because the Ganquan area was famous for its dangerous terrain in ancient times. Fan Sui's "Warring States Policy" records: In the country of the great king, there is a sweet spring and the mouth of the valley in the north. Ganquan Mountain is the outpost of Xianyang. In order to defend against aggression, Qin Shihuang built Linguang Palace in Ganquan Mountain and built a straight road from Ganquan to Jiuyuan in Inner Mongolia to facilitate military preparations. Ganquan Mountain is a summer resort with its high mountains and refreshing air. Qin Shihuang went to Ganquan Linguang Palace not only to escape the summer heat, but also to deter the Xiongnu. During the Western Han Dynasty, Ganquan Palace was second only to Weiyang Palace in Chang'an. Historical records record that after the Ganquan Palace was enlarged during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it took 120 steps and 19 miles around, with twelve palaces and eleven towers (Guanzhong Ji). It is also recorded that the view of the palace building of Ganquan Palace is compared with that of Jianzhang, and that all officials have residences (including geographical records). The grandeur of the palace can be seen from this. "Han Shu Suburban Sacrificial Records" records that the emperors of the Han Dynasty came to Ganquan Palace: Emperor Gaozu came five times, Emperor Wen came twenty-six times, Emperor Wu came twenty-six times, Emperor Wu came seventy-five times, Emperor Xuan came twenty-five times, and since the first year of Chu Yuan Dynasty it has also been twenty Come. "Zizhi Tongjian" records that Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, visited Ganquan Palace in the 20th year of Zhenguan (646 years). From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, emperors went to and from Ganquan Palace because many important political decisions were arranged here, such as meeting with princes, banquets with foreign envoys, etc. Preventing foreign aggression and securing the border were always important activities.
