Qǔwò

Quwo is an old town in southern Shanxi, remembered for its place in the history of the state of Jin. During the Spring and Autumn period a branch of the ruling house based at Quwo struggled with the rulers of Yi and eventually took control of Jin. The district also preserved shrines to revered figures of antiquity. At Xuncun, a temple to the Yellow Emperor was repaired in 1591 and again under the Qing, reflecting the continuing care of local worshippers.
