Mianyang, with a history of 22 17 years, is a famous historical and cultural city in Sichuan province. ? Mianyang was called "Fu County" and "Mianzhou" in ancient times, and was later named "Mianyang" because the city site is located in Mian Shan Zhinan. ?
Mianyang is the birthplace of poet Li Bai, the only science and technology city in China, the experimental zone where the national system promotes comprehensive innovation and reform, the second largest city in Sichuan, the second largest economy, and the regional central city of Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration, and is known as "the land of prosperity, the Silicon Valley in the west". Since the establishment of Fu County in the Han Dynasty in 20 1 BC, it has been under the jurisdiction of counties.
Mianyang is one of the earliest areas of human activities in China. Stone tools and pottery from the Neolithic Age were unearthed at the Biandui Mountain site 4500 years ago. It is the mother of silk, the hometown of Leizu, the hero of water control, and the birthplace of Dayu, the founder of Xia Dynasty. It is one of the cradles of acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine. The lacquer wood figurines of meridians unearthed from the Han tomb in Shuangbaoshan are the earliest human meridian models found in the world.
