It is 300 meters from east to west and 400 meters from north to south, with a total area of ??120,000 square meters. The ancient city site faces the river in the east and south, and the soil is yellow and black. The eastern part of the ancient city was destroyed due to soil expropriation, forming a cliff. The cultural layer is up to 4 meters deep, and the upper layer is the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang cultures. The middle level is Shang, Zhou and Warring States cultures. The lower level is Longshan Culture. The unearthed cultural relic specimens are unique and have strong temporal continuity. They mainly include bronze tripods, kettles with handles, plates, swords, pottery urns, pots and stone Buddha statues. In 1979, the Anqiu County People's Government announced the ancient city as a county-level key cultural relics protection unit, and in 1992, the Shandong Provincial People's Government announced it as a provincial-level key cultural relics protection unit.

Xicheng City was called Ji Guoyi in the Spring and Autumn Period and was called Pong. After Qi State destroyed Ji State, Yong returned to Qi State. In the Western Han Dynasty, Puncheng County was established here. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was merged with Zhuxu County and demoted to Xicheng Pavilion. "Continued Shandong Archaeological Records" quoted "Geographical Customs Records" and recorded: "Forty miles east of Zhuxu County, there is Xicheng Pavilion, the old county. This is Xicheng Pavilion, that is, Xicheng County was reduced to a pavilion." Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty This is located in Pingchang County. During the Tianbao period of the Northern Qi Dynasty, it was changed to Langya County seat. In the second year of Sui Dynasty (606), Langya County was changed to Puncheng County. In the early Tang Dynasty, due to floods and other natural disasters, the city of Peng was razed to the ground, and its former prosperity was no longer there. In the sixth year of Tang Wude (623), Pincheng County was merged with Anqiu County. For more than 1,400 years from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Tang Dynasty, Pincheng has been a relatively important place, including as a county and county seat for more than 500 years.

According to the analysis of the ruins and relics exposed in the ancient city, the ancients once thrived here and contributed to the development of history and culture. This ancient city has a certain reference value for studying the decline of primitive society, the formation of slave society, and the separatism of feudal society. Later, when our ancestors established the village, in order to commemorate the past prosperity of Peng City, they chose the name of the village without forgetting the word "嚚". The village to the west of the old city of Pong City was first called Xixi, and later called Xixi, such as Li Jiaxi Xiong and Liu Jiaxi Xiong. The area to the south of the ancient city is called Nanxun, and the area to the north is called Beixin (Xiaobeixun Village in Hongsagou Town). During the "People's Commune" period, several natural villages near the old city were called Puncheng Brigade. It is located about 30 kilometers southwest of Anqiu City and about 200 meters east of Lijia Chibu Village, Hongshagou Town. According to the "Anqiu County Chronicle" written by Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, Bingyuan's tomb is located in Chaibu Mountain. Chaibu Mountain is now Chibu Ridge in the east of Lijia Chibu Village, Hongshagou Town. The stone gate was excavated during site preparation in the winter of 1975 and sealed immediately. During the cultural relics census in 1982, the tomb had no earth seal. 3

Bingyuan, with the courtesy name Genju, was born in Zhuxu (today's Hongsagou Town) during the Three Kingdoms period. He was a famous Confucian in the late Han Dynasty. When he was young, his family was poor and his parents died young. He relied on his neighbor's teacher to learn scriptures and was able to recite "The Classic of Filial Piety" and "The Analects of Confucius" in one winter. After that, he traveled around the world, talked about rituals and music, recited poems and books, and gained many disciples. He was recruited by the county to serve as chief recorder of meritorious services and assistant planner. During the Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Han Dynasty, he and his friends Guan Ning and others fled the chaos in Liaodong for more than ten years. There were originally many tigers in Liaodong, but after Bingyuan left, there were no tigers in the village where he lived. Bing Yuan once picked up a bunch of copper coins on the roadside, and tied them to a branch after picking them up. The coins were not taken away, but more and more people tied the coins to them. They asked why and said that the tree was a "sacred tree". Bing Yuan was afraid that this would become a bad habit, so he offered sacrifices and collected his wealth as a tribute to the community. When Cao Cao was Sikong, Pi Bingyuan was in charge of offering wine in the East Pavilion. Bing Yuan's daughter died early, and Cao Cao's son Cang Shu also died in infancy. He wanted to be buried together, but Bing Yuan refused firmly, saying, "It is not polite to be buried together." Cao Cao no longer pressed. Another day, Cao Pi visited the guests at a banquet and said, "Each king and father have serious illnesses. There is a pill that can save one person. Should I save you? Father?" All the guests talked about it, and they couldn't agree on one thing. Only Bing Yuan remained silent. Cao Pi named Bing Yuan to answer, and Bing Yuan responded angrily: "Father." Cao Pi was no longer in trouble. Bing Yuan and Zheng Xuan were masters of Confucian classics at the same time, but they belonged to different schools. According to the "Biography of Bingyuan" cited in the "Three Kingdoms: Biography of Bingyuan", Bingyuan "told "Rites" and "Music", chanted "Poems" and "Books", had hundreds of disciples, and dozens of followers. At that time, Zheng Xuan Erudite and knowledgeable, annotating classics, so elegant people gathered here; originally, they were lofty and innocent, with indifferent ambitions, no choice of words and no choice of actions, so the heroic people were here; at this time, there was a clear discussion in the sea: Qingzhou has Bing and Zheng's studies." It can be seen that Bing Yuan's status in Confucian classics is comparable to that of Zheng Xuan. Hua Xin, Bing Yuan, and Guan Ning were friendly to each other. They were nicknamed "Yi Long" at that time, with Hua Xin as the dragon's head, Bing Yuan as the dragon's belly, and Guan Ning as the dragon's tail.
