The Qinling Mountains can be divided into the Qinling Mountains in a narrow sense and the Qinling Mountains in a broad sense. The Qinling Mountains in a narrow sense are limited to the mountains between the Weihe River and the Hanjiang River in the southern part of Shaanxi Province. The Qinling Mountains in a broad sense start from Kunlun in the west, pass through Longnan and southern Shaanxi in the middle, and end at the Dabie Mountains of Hubei, Henan, Anhui and Zhangbaling near Bengbu in the east. It is the watershed between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. The Qinling Mountains are not only the boundary between the north and south of China, but also the dividing line of the differences in geography, climate and resources between the north and the south. Different climates, different water and soil, different social living habits such as diet, architecture and transportation, have evolved into differences in the overall customs and habits of the society over time. The Qinling Mountains are revered as the dragon vein of Chinese civilization. The main peak, Taibai Mountain, is 3771.2 meters above sea level and is located in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province. The Qinling Mountains are the boundary between the Guanzhong Plain and southern Shaanxi in Shaanxi Province.

The Baoji Zhouyuan Museum is a specialized museum located in Zhaochen Village and Jingdang Village, Famen Town, at the border of Fufeng County and Qishan County, Shaanxi Province. This area was the living and settlement area of ​​the pre-Zhou people. Built in 1987 based on the archaeological excavation of the Zhouyuan site, it was rated as a national second-class museum in 2018. The museum, based on the core area of ​​the Zhouyuan site, exhibits over 10,000 artifacts, including the foundations of Western Zhou ancestral temples and palaces, as well as bronzes, oracle bones, and jade artifacts. Among them, the bronze vessels such as the Zhe Gong and Shi Qiang Pan are renowned for their long inscriptions and large scale. Zhouyuan, located in western Guanzhong Plain, about 100 kilometers from Xi'an, encompasses most of present-day Fengxiang, Qishan, Fufeng, and Wugong counties. Historical records indicate that the ancestor of the Zhou people, Gugong Danfu, led his people to settle in the area south of present-day Qishan, known as "Zhou." The Zhou state was named after this location. The land here is fertile, with abundant rainfall and a mild climate. Before King Wen of Zhou, it was the center of Zhou people's activities. The world-renowned Zhouyuan Site is located within a 20-square-kilometer area at the border of Qishan and Fufeng counties. Archaeological surveys have uncovered the ancestral temples, tombs, treasuries, and documents (bronze inscriptions and oracle bone inscriptions) of the Zhou royal family. The northwestern part is the palace and ancestral temple area (present-day Fengchu Village in Qishan County and Zhaochen Village in Fufeng County). The southeastern part was the residential area of ​​the Zhou people, as well as a workshop area for smelting bronze, firing pottery, and carving bone artifacts (present-day Qizhen, Zhuangbai, Qijia, and Yuntang Village in Huangdui Township, Fufeng County). The southwestern part is the burial area (present-day Hejia Village and Li Village in Jingdang Township, Qishan County). Zhouyuan is known as the "Hometown of Bronze Ware," with an unparalleled history and quantity of unearthed bronze artifacts. Bronze artifacts have been unearthed here since the third year of the Shenjue era of Emperor Xuan of Han (58 BC), with numerous significant discoveries. Zhouyuan is a veritable underground treasure trove of cultural relics. In 1982, the State Council listed it as a second batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
