One of the earliest Paleolithic sites in China, Dongdonggou, was found in Zhenyuan.[1] In the Han Dynasty it was established as Linjing County, during the Yuan dynasty it was named Yuanzhou, and during the Ming dynasty it became Zhenyuan County.
Zhenyuan is mostly dependent on cultivation of grains, vegetable oils, melons and vegetables.[2] It also has oil reserves.[3]
In October 2019, the Zhenyuan County Library posted images of book burning of 65 books from the library. The post attracted significant controversy on Chinese social media.[4][5]
