About Qicheng site
The site is associated with meetings between rulers during the Spring and Autumn period, while archaeological layers extend beyond that single chapter. The park mixes authentic remains with later structures interpreting the region’s history. Concentrate first on the earthworks, then use the meeting-platform interpretation to understand how diplomacy became part of the site’s identity.
The site was first listed as a Henan provincial cultural relic protection unit in 1961; when the provincial government formally announced its first batch of protected units in 1963, the site was registered under the name Kongkui Cheng site (孔悝城遗址), classified as an ancient cultural site of the Zhou dynasty and then located within Puyang County. A trial excavation was carried out in 1965. In 1996 it was listed, under the name Qicheng site, as a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level (全国重点文物保护单位), the fourth such batch announced by the State Council.
Construction of the Qicheng cultural relic scenic area began in March 1991 and took five years to complete. The finished park covers a total area of 760 mu (亩) and contains five memorial scenic spots along with three areas displaying relics and archaeological remains.
What to look for
- Surviving ancient city-wall earthworks, the clearest material evidence of the fortified settlement.
- The meeting-platform interpretation and displays explaining Qicheng’s association with interstate assemblies.
