Dali (Shaanxi)

In the era of Oyster and Autumn , the kingdom of Rui (芮 国) existed in these places. Then it fell under the onslaught of the Zhuns who founded their Dali state here. In 461 BC e. the kingdom of Qin conquered the state of Dali, and since these places adjoined the kingdom of Jin, the county of Linjin was created here (临晋 перед, “before Jin”). In 385 BC e. the kingdom of Wei , taking advantage of the internal turmoil in the kingdom of Qin, captured these places. In 330 BC e. the kingdom of Qin was able to return Linjin.

After the kingdom of Qin conquered all the other kingdoms and created the first centralized empire in the history of China, the southern part of Lingjin County was set aside in a separate county called Deng (德 县). Under the Eastern Han Empire , the Deng County was rejoined by the Linjin County.

Under the Western Jin Empire, Linjin County was renamed Dali. Under the Late Qin Empire, the name Linjin was returned to him. Under the empire of Northern Wei , Linjin County was divided into two counties in 487: the western part became Huaine County (华阴 县), the eastern part became Nanuquan County (南 五 泉 县). In 526, Huayin County was renamed Wuxiang (武乡 县). During the Western Wei Dynasty , Nanuquan County was renamed Chaoyi (朝邑 县) in 554.

Under the Sui Empire , Wuxiang County was renamed Feng'i (冯翊 县) in 607. Under the Tang Empire in 620, the eastern part of Chaoyi County, adjacent to the western shore of the Yellow River , was separated into a separate county, Hebin (河滨 县). In 626, the southwestern part of Feng Yi County, adjacent to the Jushui River, was separated into a separate Linju County (临 沮 县). In 627, Linju County was again annexed to Fengyi County, and Hebin County to Chaoyi County. In 760, Chaoi County was renamed Hexi (河西 县), but in 770 the name Chaoi was returned to it.

After the Mongol conquest, Feng'i County was disbanded in 1264, and its lands passed under the direct control of the authorities in Tongzhou (同 州). Under the Qing Empire, the Tongzhou region received the status of “directly controlled” in 1725 (that is, it became directly subordinate to the governor of Shaanxi province, bypassing the intermediate link in the form of a council), and in 1735 it was elevated to the Tongzhou government (同 州府); on lands previously directly subordinate to the authorities of the region, a Dali county was created.

In 1929, the eastern part of Chaoi County was set aside in a separate Pingmin County (平民 县).

The Weinan Special Region (渭南 专区) was created in 1950, and Dali and Chaoi counties were included in it (Pingmin County was rejoined to Chaoye County). In 1956, the Weinan Special District was disbanded, and counties became directly subordinate to the authorities of Shaanxi Province. In 1958, Chaoyi County was annexed to Dali County.

In 1961, the Weinan Special District was re-created, and Dali County became part of it again. In 1969, the Weinan Special District was renamed the Weinan County (渭南 地区). In 1994, by order of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, Weinan County and Weinan City County were disbanded, and Weinan City District was formed.

The county is divided into 1 street committee and 15 villages .

A Dali skull ( en: Dali Man ) 209,000 ± 23,000 years old, found in 1978, is similar to an early sapiens skull found in the 1960s in the Jebel Irhud cave in Morocco ^{[1] [2]} . Stanislav Drobyshevsky believes that this is a Denisov man ^[3] .
