Qishan is the birthplace of the Zhou Dynasty. From Zhou Taiwang to Zhou Pingwang, it has been the center of the Western Zhou Dynasty for nearly 400 years. There are Zhougong Temple and Feng Chu Site, and a large number of cultural relics of the Zhou Dynasty have been unearthed, among which bronzes are the most famous.
There is also a famous story about Qishan, which is called Qishan in Feng Ming. When Zhou Wenwang was in Qishan, there was a phoenix on the nearby mountain. Now this mountain is called "Phoenix Mountain". Because the phoenix once sang on the mountain, this town is now called "Feng Ming Town". It is recorded in the Mandarin "Zhou Yu Shang" that when the Zhou Dynasty rose, birds like phoenix sang on Qishan in Shaanxi. There is also a saying in Volume I of the Book of Songs in the late Western Zhou Dynasty: "Feng Huang Yu Fei is also rich in heaven ... Feng Huangming is very rich in his post." This is also about Qishan in Feng Ming. Therefore, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the phoenix bird was regarded as a magical auspicious creature, which was quite heavy for Feng Niaowen.
In 234 AD, Zhuge Liang died here, the "Five Bird", where there used to be the Temple of Wuhou.
The first "hometown of Shaanxi cuisine", Qishan noodles with minced meat is very famous.
