History


After Liu Bobo established the Great Xia dynasty in 407 CE, he built the ancient city of Fenglin (simplified Chinese: 丰林; traditional Chinese: 豐林; pinyin: Fēnglín), which was located in present-day Zhoujiawan Village (Chinese: 周家湾村) in Liqu.[4]: 7  Fenglin's location, on a mountainous terrace north of the Yan River, made the city easy to defend.[4]: 535  Fenglin was a walled city, and the city's walls were approximately 9 metres (30 ft) high and anywhere between 3 centimetres (1.2 in) to 30 centimetres (12 in) thick.[4]: 616  Song dynasty scientist Shen Kuo called the city as dense as a stone, and noted how difficult it would be to attack the city.[4]: 616  The city was colloquially known as Helian City (simplified Chinese: 赫连城; traditional Chinese: 赫連城; pinyin: Hèlián chéng), after Liu Bobo's alternative name Helian Bobo.[4]: 7  In 577 CE, Fenglin County (simplified Chinese: 丰林县; traditional Chinese: 豐林縣; pinyin: Fēnglín Xiàn) was established, and was seated in the city of Fenglin.[4]: 46  Song dynasty general Di Qing once renovated it.[4]: 616  The county existed intermittently until 1072, when it was abolished by Emperor Shenzong of Song and demoted to a town.[4]: 46  Today, the site of Fenglin is used as farmland.[4]: 616 

In 1972 the people's communes of Liqu and Nianzhuang (Chinese: 碾庄) were established.[2] In 1984, the people's communes were abolished, and Liqu was re-established as a town, and Nianzhuang was re-established as a township.[2]

By 1996, Liqu spanned an area of 82 square kilometres (32 sq mi), and had a population of approximately 16,000.[2] That same year, Nianzhuang Township had a total area of 54 square kilometres (21 sq mi), and a population of about 5,000.[2]

In 2001, Nianzhuang Township was merged into Liqu.[2]
