Shaanxi Province was a province of the Yuan dynasty governed from Xi'an (Known at the time as Fengyuan (奉元), Anxi[disambiguation needed] (安西, "Peaceful West"), and Jingzhao (京兆)) It was established in 1260. In 1294, Sichuan Province (Yuan dynasty) was split off from Shaanxi.[1]
The Yuan-era Shaanxi province included the majority of present-day Shaanxi Province, the south-western part of Inner Mongolia, south-eastern Gansu (around Qingyuan), north-western Sichuan, and a small part of Qinghai.[citation needed]
During the Northern Song dynasty it was mostly part of the Yongxing Jun, capital also at Xi'an. Following the Jin-Song Wars, the Jurchen-led Jin dynasty established rule over the northern part of area, establishing Jingzhao Fu, Qingyuan, and Xiqin[disambiguation needed].[citation needed]
In 2015 a Yuan-era tomb fresco was excavated in Luogetai village, Gao town, Hengshan county, Yulin city in Shaanxi province.[2]
