Qíhé

Qihe lies on the northern side of the Yellow River, opposite the hills near Jinan. At Yancheng, an old town in the county, local tradition remembered the Spring and Autumn statesman Yan Ying of Qi and identified the place as his fief. People built shrines in his honour, and the temple north of the town was rebuilt under the Qing. When the Qianlong Emperor passed through on an eastern tour, he composed poems recalling Yan Ying's reputation for wise and modest service.
