Is the hometown of pre-Qin in Gansu the birthplace of Qin people?

? 1993, due to the excavation by grave robbers, the ancient tomb on Dabaozi Mountain in Lixian County, Gansu Province was accidentally discovered, and some precious cultural relics were lost overseas. From 65438 to 0994, Gansu Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology conducted an eight-month rescue excavation of Dabaozi Mountain. During the excavation, archaeologists found that the tomb of Dabaozi Mountain is located in the west to the east, with its head in the west, exactly like Yongcheng Cemetery, Zhiyang Cemetery and Shihuang Cemetery. A large number of bronzes, goldsmiths and jades have also been unearthed from these tombs.

Some bronzes are clearly engraved with inscriptions such as "Qin Gong Zhu Ding" and "Qin Gong Bao Gui". Geographically, the unique terrain of Dabaozi Mountain, which is surrounded by two rivers, also fully conforms to the "Feng Shui" orientation of the imperial cemetery in the pre-Qin period. Therefore, some historians and archaeologists have preliminarily determined that the Dabaozishan Tomb is the first cemetery of the four major cemeteries of Qin people-Xiqiao Cemetery, which has been dusted off by history for more than 2,800 years.

At this point, this eternal mystery that puzzles historians and archaeologists has been solved. Relevant experts believe that "the excavation of the Western Qin Huang Cemetery is another major discovery in the 20th century, following the Dunhuang Tibetan Sutra Cave and Terracotta Warriors", which fills the gap in the study of pre-Qin culture. Lixian county is also considered as the birthplace of Qin state and Qin culture, so Lixian county is famous at home and abroad. Lixian county is located in Longnan mountain area in the southeast of Gansu province. It connects Tianshui and Xihe in the east, Dangchang and Minxian in the west, Wudu in the south and Wushan and Gangu in the north.

This is not only the birthplace of Qin clan and Qin culture, but also the hometown and the place where Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan. In The Book of Songs Qin Feng, it is said that "the white dew is frost, and the so-called Iraqis are on the water side" refers to the water flowing through Longnan City.
