Qianyang County is a county in the west of Shaanxi province, China, bordering Gansu province to the north. It is under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Baoji.
Established in 570 as Chinese: 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]
As 2020, this county is divided into seven towns.[3]
