According to historical records, during the Qing Dynasty, there were more than 1700 houses and more than 60 streets and lanes in Beijing Firearms Camp, where eight banners soldiers composed of Manchu and Mongolian were stationed and tens of thousands of military families were stationed. The rulers of the Qing Dynasty stipulated that the children of the Eight Banners should enjoy their salaries from generation to generation, commonly known as "hardcore crops". Over time, a lively market has gradually formed near the Firearms Camp.
In fact, there is no river called Qingshui River in Jiu Si Town. According to the description in Exploring Qingshui River, the so-called Qingshui River is probably the Kunyu River in Haidian District today. Kunyu River, which started in Jin Dynasty, is an ancient royal river with a history of 700 years. Empresses and concubines of the Qing Dynasty followed the Kunyu River from the Forbidden City to Yuquan Mountain for the summer.
