According to "Gansu General Chronicles", the people of Qingyang Prefecture "are good at farming and doing their own business. They have the legacy of the ancestors. They made pottery caves for living in and used raccoon dogs as fur to keep out the cold."

Today, this ancient form of settlement can be seen everywhere in Qingyang. People relied on the slope of the ditch to build houses on the cliff, which they called "Yazhuang".
