Established in 570 as 汧陽 (also pronounced Qianyang), in October 1964, in order to avoid rare characters, the name was changed to its current writing. Since then, where the name of the place is "Shaanxi", all use "Qian".[1]
Qianyang is considered the birthplace of Qin culture and is noted for its folk embroidery.[2]
